Ew. 6 paragraphs of genocide apologia.

This is such a low effort response that showcases US apathy for it's own poverty conditions. Of the $75.4 billion sent to Ukraine alone, only $26.4 billion was financial (loans, funds, other financial support), and on top of that only $2.7 billion is used for humanitarian purposes like food, healthcare, etc). The remaining $46.3 billion is reflected as military spending towards weapons and equipment, security training, grants and loans for weapons, etc, all of which is covered from our $800 billion dollar "defense" budget.

So now that we've addressed your concerns about how tax dollars fund military spending, I ask again, do you honestly believe that there is a higher priority to spend large sums of money in the form of aid to other countries rather than focusing on the material issues we face as a nation?

Why should we send 74 billion in aid to Israel and Ukraine when 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, we are the only OECD nation without some form of universal healthcare, and over 650,000 Americans are homeless (a 12 percent increase during 2023). Do you honestly believe that there is a higher priority to send obscenely large sums of money in the form of aid to other countries rather than focusing on the material issues we face as a nation?

Well, school's out

Not all vets have seen combat, even if they have deployed. But aside from that most of these vets were early 20s that did one enlistment and are fresh out of active, so their life experience up until that point was high school to military to college. Not all of them, but a significant amount. That being said, even at the time I would've found the absurd response funny, except it meant more work for me that week to draft communication on behalf of the office.

I love this story. We have preventive measures in place because of chaos like this. Back in the early 2010s I was doing a VA internship at my college's Veterans Affairs office. We would help other veteran students manage their GI Bill and other VA benefits as well as communicate events for our student vet community. The school used a student veteran distribution list just like this story but for a much smaller group of users.

One day the college's VA office sent out an email that a prominent anti war vet was coming to speak at the college which sparked a lot of controversy apparently with a good portion of the members of that DL. So much so that a reply all chain began and my student email inbox was blowing up from all the outrage. If I remember correctly, the event was ultimately canceled because so many student veterans were complaining.

It's not possible at the moment. Lemmy devs acknowledged it was a widely requested feature but last I read, they were focused on maintaining the performance of Lemmy during the spike of users during the great Reddit migration.

• Primary fire DPS reduced to 55 (was 100)
• Primary fire slow now ramps from 30% to 50% (was 40%).
• Primary fire impacts now build up to a slowing effect for 1.5s that slows for 75%.
• Secondary fire impacts can detonate the 75% slow for an extra 40 damage.

Dev comments: These changes are intended to bring back Mei's old gameplay without introducing the hard CC of a full stun.

I haven't had the chance to play her since the changes yet, but detonating the slow effects with secondary fire while having reduced primary damage just sounds like it will take forever to get kills

Noone will be chasing Karma.

That's actually a good benefit of Lemmy I hadn't considered. Without incentived karma farming, the content will be more organic.I genuinely don't care about reddit karma personally, but I do look forward to seeing higher quality posts rather than multiple duplicate posts rushing to accumulate fake internet points, and the same regurgitated jokes in the comments.

+1 for mariushosting. I've also watched a few wundertech tutorials on YouTube

Pay off all my debt. And take me out to a fancy dinner. Wine and dine me, Spez. Then I'll use reddit again. (I would still use lemmy secretly on the side)

Still rocking my 1070ti. I mostly play overwatch 2 and Minecraft so it works ok for me now. Also I'm broke and can't afford the upgrade.

I easily have thousands of hours in call of duty 1 for PC. I played scrims a lot through mIRC. My xfire profile tracked most of that, although that doesn't exist anymore. Runner up would probably be Guild Wars 1 with a few thousand hours. Life before responsibilities was a wild time

Probably people with a NAS running stash app with libraries of over 20tb of full length 4k videos sorted by actors, studios, and tags. If I had to guess.
