Greece stopped by 24-hour general strike over cost of living
  • Europe is facing population decline. Houses should get cheaper, not more expensive, and the fact that prices keep rising means that they are artificially inflated.

  • Anon questions our energy sector
  • Imagine this (not so) hypothetical scenario:

    Yellowstone or another supervolcano erupts and leads to a few years of volcanic winter, where there is much less sunshine. This has historical precedent, it has happened before, and while in and of itself it will impact a lot of people regardless of anything else, wouldn't you agree it would be better to have at least some nuclear power capacity instead of relying solely on renewables?

    Sure, such a scenario is not probable, but it pays to stay safe in the case of one such event. I would say having most of our power from renewables would be best, having it supported by 10-20% or so nuclear with the possibility of increase in times of need would make our electric grids super resilient to stuff

  • Trump Will Soon Get Classified Briefings Again
  • The thing about sycophants is that they don't tend to be very competent. I expect replacing people in crucial positions will be the start of the end for the US as a superpower.

  • We'll have a long memory as things get worse for working class Americans, minorities and women
  • Not an American, but yikes does this have "Vote with us... Or else!" vibes.

    That's not to say I support Trump, but I personally don't think this is the way to convince fence-sitters at all.

  • If Order 66 never happened, do you think Ahsoka would have started a family?
  • Spoilers for the Clone Wars

    She left the Jedi Order during the events of the show due to being framed for a bombing and the Council ditching her. Anakin helps clear her name, but Ahsoka leaves the Order anyway due to being unable to trust in them anymore.

    She later gets back in contact with the jedi but although she works with them, they do not welcome her back, with Mace even disdainfully calling her "Citizen Tano"

  • Avatar: The Last Airbender Is Getting a AAA RPG With Saber Interactive and Paramount Game Studios
  • Noooooooooooooooooooooo

    Don't make it triple A, make it indie or at least from a smaller studio. It will be more of the same slop with nothing innovative if it's AAA :(

  • Tell me about what you're doing in OSRS!
  • Grinding Agility. I don't really like it, but it will make everything just better once I get it high enough.

    Besides that, I love Arceuus Library for grinding magic so that's what I'm doing when I need a break.

  • turns out when capitalists said "buy American" they meant buy Americans
  • What happens if you refuse to work? Are they allowed to punish you in any way?

  • Cubyz: Voxel sandbox game with a large render distance, procedurally generated content and some cool graphical effects.
  • What does procedural crafting really mean? Could I, for example, make a radio?

  • And you will never catch up as Bezos make 8,000,000 per hour
  • He'd still have a lot of property to his name, a lot of other assets and stuff that aren't tied to an arbitrary stock market. Even if you crash it, mansions and luxury cars would still be very valuable. He will never not be a billionaire due to that.

    That is, unless you redistribute his wealth. Then yeah, he wouldn't be filthy rich anymore.

  • Parts of the Sahara Desert are turning green amid an influx of heavy rainfall
  • Afaik it used to be the Saharan Jungle when the world was a few degrees warmer

  • New York City is the only city in America (or maybe the world) where people are expected to have a general understanding of the geography in casual conversation.
  • In Eastern Europe even the most illiterate citizen of a town/city knows the neighborhoods and where they are in relation to one another, if that's what you're asking.

  • What keeps you going every day?
  • Video Games, friends and my dream of buying a sailboat someday to sail around the world.

  • Bible studies
  • Ah, that's fair then! The more people working on it the better our understanding will be!

  • Bible studies
  • I don't think that's accurate at all. There are Bible scholars who make it their life's work to understand the oldest manuscripts of the Bible we have in the context they were written in. Many newer Bible versions have these blurbs in them that explain certain phrases exactly to avoid misunderstandings. It's on you if you choose to stick to stuff like the King James's version, I'd say.

  • Venom vs Poison
  • Would you say the same thing about being envious and being jealous?

  • Knights of the static table rule
  • Add migraine aura to that list. It sucks.

  • What song from your country should be heard by more people?

    There are so many great song in my mother tongue that virtually nobody aside from the relatively few speakers could realistically even come into contact with. I'm certain all of you non-English speakers here can relate! I linked one of my favourite songs, what are yours?

    Legacy: Life among the Ruins 2e

    Hey y'all! I've been thinking about starting a group of Legacy. For those who don't know, the system is a Powered by the Apocalypse game set in a Post-Apocalyptic setting of any kind (I was thinking a zombie apocalypse) where the players take control of factions. You shepherd your community through the ages and you also take control of significant characters from them to solve various threats to your community. You take decisions at both the faction and personal level, and you both cooperate and compete with the other players for resources.

    My timezone is EEST. If you're interested, leave a comment or a DM and I'll be in touch!

    Can anyone recommend me a Pokemon Fangame?

    Preferably one that's not a rom hack, though I dig those too. I'm looking for something a bit harder than the originals and maybe a bit more mature, but still fair and whimsical. I'd like a game with pokemon from as many gens as possible, and fakemons are fine too.

    Is there any interest in a community for announcing updates to games?

    A lot of game specific subreddits post update announcements, which were how I heard about stuff like that before I switched to Lemmy. On here, there's not enough people yet for communities like that, so I'm looking to see how many people would be interested in a community that collects and shares news about game updates

    Does anyone else find Jerboa to be incredibly energy efficient?

    I've tried multiple Reddit apps in the past, from the official one to Boost to RiF, yet all of them used way more battery charge for the same amount of browsing I do on Jerboa.

    This is great! Well done devs!
