It is an odd choice to argue over such a thing. No one was harmed in the making of the first comment. Or the second. If anything, that person is being completely reasonable instead of demanding what others should do.

They could send a bill for physical damages and other losses. If ignored, they could levy other… penalties.
Details. I like it. Verifiable details.
And I dare say, accurate too.
Another thing I remembered, it so happens. The origin of ‘minion’. It is derived from ‘mignon’ which meant darling, but was started to be used in a derogatory way by people who wanted to offend a particular group or something else. The new meaning of the word was born.
In this case I’m an unfortunate person who called my loved one ‘mignon’ without knowing what this new thing was, that such a thing ever happened.
I still feel it would be better to ask next time. I hope you see now I was innocent of such… doings.
I personally found the “the fuck” to be an aggressive, offended tone but that could be a misunderstanding on my part. From what I’m used to, I’ve personally seen that phrase used by people who are against something, intensely, in particular.
As for what you have referenced, it so happens that I have seen no such person saying any such thing. I was referencing no such thing.
…do some people really believe everything is controlled by a small exclusive group? Interesting. Lol that I can disagree with wholly. I hope this clarifies the earlier matter.
I certainly do not believe this as well🤦
Edit: I do not know if this person you replied to specifically believes this in particular as well, and I’ll leave it up to that person to clarify. Have fun.
What is this take… that was not my take at all. The intention was misunderstood, there was a misunderstanding of the language used. Primarily, it was a joke. I certainly do not believe there is a “the powerful” side.
You could have asked🤷
I do not know what you assumed… but I am confused because I have no concept to what you have referenced. Is there anything in particular which was offensive here? Do elaborate. I can say however that I do not know what it is, and I certainly did not mean what you believed I meant (because I do not believe there is one “the powerful” side). Unless, of course, you object to the use of all general terms. Like ‘the royalty’. ‘The general public’ in any general sense. ‘The people’, again, in any general sense.
I get a feeling that I have offended some political thing I have no idea about. When I have no such relation to any such thing, if it is really so.
You pretty much know that I had no racist intention. If I had racist intention, that would be bad, yes. There are too many people who go against other people on the basis of race, it is ironic that a person who is not racist has a comment pointed out as racist. I confirm, I do not have any racist belief. Kindly take your concern to those who really use concepts such as ‘race’ to talk about concepts like ‘superior’ or ‘inferior’, or any other form of statement saying any particular person is bad because of something which wad not done by them—no act of harm intentionally caused.
That said, I shall delete the comment which uses the name of the main character of the game series ‘Shadow Warrior’. Specifically, “It is (character name), sir. (First name) is (last name)”.
Because I like to play a game I paid for, which will run on my hardware. Especially when I avoid all the modern live service is a necessity horseshit. If people are not confident in releasing new games which others would buy despite having old games, I will stop buying games.
Let them do better or eff off.

The powerful must be bored from being wealthy and using money to dictate what people should do, so maybe going a bit more hands on to play war.
They could just get a computer, yo. Even an old one would do, even 90s games can handle all their needs.
I’ve always felt like many just want to lash out and hurt others
Well, you’re not wrong. There are many.
Whoever thought this was a good idea? What do they do if there are server problems or, just so happens, their internet service providers are having trouble giving service?
Audiobook narration iirc
I recognise this writer, but from the very successful videogames he has programmed and designed.
I like good stories as well so I might start taking a look at his books.
Has been on my to-try list. The old one I mean, I don’t have the new.
… Might and Magic Book One: Secret of the Inner Sanctum… Heroes of Might and Magic 3: Restoration of Erathia (vanilla)… Invisible, Inc… Severed Steel… Solitairica… Griftlands… Hand of Fate
I don’t have a favourite unfortunately. No ranks. But I’ve played a lot more and these shine for gameplay first amd foremost. Some, like the first, are gameplay only (as was the requirement in the era, there was not much more to go by) whereas the others if you remove the flashy bits in ways which wouldn’t affect the gameplay, they’d play really good… just fine.
The ironic thing is defining a view of what is meant to be not political… is political. In the end everyone telling others what they should do, when said persons do not want to do it, is political. That is power. The act of the use and engagement of power could, in the end, be called politics.
The video is an odd one because it states a big problem (not looking at problems does, most of the time, aid enforcing the problem to stay. Usually out of embarrassment because people do feel on a subconscious level they are contributing to it, they just don’t want it to be said. They don’t want it publicly admitted due to said embarrassment) and also makes reference to how to not be political.
In the end there is one way to not be political. Simply choose not to have power over anyone else. That brings a few problems doesn’t it… money is a physical manifestation of power. ‘Do this for me because I am paying you to do it’. You could simply break that system by using money wrong then. Use it not as a means of power but as a token of appreciation for work voluntarily done (donating to a lemmy instance which allows usage for free also counts, when you can afford to, for example). Start moving more towards relying less on services and premium items, and become more capable with living on what you can have with your own hands. It is not going to make power vanish fully, therefore politics vanish fully, but it is a start—you’ll never get anywhere without starting somewhere. And what you may achieve in the end will probably surprise even you, let alone people around.
I can make one claim. Whether it is believed is another thing. Living is this way, as well as choosing to have no power over others while not letting people have power over you, makes it extremely difficult for political people to run free doing what they want (gaining benefits at the cost of other people). Most people who live by ‘ignorance is bliss’ cannot live this life because as you start trying to live like this, your subconscious mind starts throwing all these problems right in your face—because these problems are always there, people simply, consciously, refuse to perceive them. And your subconscious mind just goes ‘no’ to that, whether you like it or not. So you abandon the ignorance is bliss attitude, or abandon trying not to have power over others.
In the end, people who are not political are hardest to perceive, because what they essentially do is ‘minding their own business’. If you see a chill person around who’s basically carefree yet pretty helpful to anyone facing general problems, you may just have found a person who is not political around you. Or at least someone who has worked towards getting there. These people are generally going lower, away from the shit, than higher and more visible. So if you aim for the heights of achievement and acknowledgment, good luck perceiving them even when they’re right in front of you. These people are found everywhere—many have money, many have not as much to not be poor yet somehow seem content in life.
Seems to me like they do not know how to make a good oven.
