do you believe in objective morality? in c/shittyasklemmy@lemmy.uhhoh.com

Objective morality is objectively impossible, and subjectively believed possible.

Swiss voters reject mandatory national service for women and new inheritance tax in c/world@lemmy.world

This is super twisted and infantalizing to women to be honest. We don't fight for equality by using equity logic that is faulty, we ask everyone, men and women to see women as equals in all areas of life. We're strong, resilient, capable and independent, and you're philosophy asks to maintain privilege ( not military draft ) because you think we face so much other issues, that you see that as equitable, but equity is often the incorrect solution to fairness, fairness is often blind, it says anything a man can do, women can do too. I want to be seen as an equal, not weaker. Women should be in positions of power, not protected and privileged, we are just as capable.

So can men, but in this instance they're also compelled. The ask here is that if men are compelled to service, women should be too. That's obviously equal treatment and fair.

3rd-person shooters optimized for controllers? in c/patientgamers@sh.itjust.works

Yes, I do exclusively.

I exclusively game on PC with a controller too, and when a game doesn't have support for a controller it is a deal breaker.

Of all modern Sci-Fi Dystopia depicted in movies, which do you think our world will most resemble or already does resemble? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

How do you objectively tell if a parents "I love you" is actually sincere, if they actually care about you? Or if the words are lies and they don't actually care? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] SlothMama@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago (4 children)

I don't agree with your premise, love languages are real, and some people, like me, what are called words of affirmation are very important and receiving them feels like receiving love, and when people don't speak the same love language, an act significant to the giver may not be received and felt as significant by the receiver

Dark Energy Debate Reignites As Study Finds Universe's Expansion Is Actually Slowing in c/science@lemmy.world

It's difficult to explain this, but you're wrong, there is no regional dialect that would pronounce the word this as this, because it is awkward.

Both are interdental fricatives, but this is always done with a voiced dental fricative, a voiceless would be the way people pronounce thistle. Now try to say this place but say this without the le on thistle.

I'm on mobile and can't type out the IPA symbols, but I did take linguistics classes so I know the difference between the two phones, whereas you seem to equate the phones with their orthography.

I never hear people talk about the animals that are likely dying of a heat stroke (lemmy.world)
 

Sorry for the poor title, but even when people talk about climate change, and know it's hotter for them, people don't actually seem to talk about the impact on the rest of the biosphere.

I can't tell if it's not thought about, or just not discussed as much because it is not 'relevant' to their lives.

I can barely function outside for a few minutes without being drenched in sweat, and some of it is probably poor health and not being used to it, but I can tell sl with certainty that I can't survive outside in this heat, and I'm living as a result of a trick or technology.

The animals though? Some of them are straight up fubbernucked. There will be mass animals die offs and people won't even notice.

Remakes and faithfulness to the original vision (lemmy.world)
 

I think about this from time to time, but most recently it's the Persona 3 remake that's got me thinking about it now.

The original game was dark, gritty, and I'm really concerned that they're going to downplay that for the more colorful 'mainstream' style in Persona 5.

I loved Persona 5, but 3 has my favorite aesthetic, my favorite 'feel'. I'm worried they now feel like the dark blue, and 'gun' motifs are more controversial now.

I'm also highly disappointed that the extra content from FES and portable won't be in it, that feels like half the appeal of a remake for this title.

I want to like it, but I probably won't.

With the release of Phantom Liberty, I truly hope this game is remembered fondly (lemmy.world)
 

Maybe I like bad games, or maybe Cyberpunk 2077 was never quite as bad as people say - I'm not sure because I unironically love Forspoken and think it's one of the best games I've ever played.

I did hate on the game hard at release, and a lot of it was well deserved, trying to play it on PS4 or Xbox One ( I picked it up on both ) was actually awful and unstable, I couldn't progress past the club at the beginning of the Street Kid life path so I eventually hung it up for a while.

I bought it at launch, and it was a bad launch, reminded me of the launch of No Man's Sky, except visually the game was stunning, and there was a lot more substance, but it was actually broken.

I ended up giving it a real try at the end of 2021 when I managed to get my hands on an Xbox Series X and it was a drastically different game. This was before the 'next gen' patch, but it had enough fixes and ran butter smooth on the Series X that I ended up getting enthralled.

Y'all this game is good. I had a great build that was frustratingly nerfed hard at the next gen patch ( RIP Overwatch ) but wow the story and world is so interesting, and I feel like this is this AI revolution story just waiting to be told in the background - it's good shit.

I haven't played since the next gen patch, so all that will be new to me along with Phantom Liberty so I'm looking forward to a drastically different game than I played a year and a half ago.

I think CDPR finally did it, or will have did it upon release.

I can't wait.
