    Bunch of ones where I’m defending Hexbear downvoted 0 to -5, but then I found this one:

    Context is something about the election. The post is deleted, so idk what the photo was of, but I was responding to something about how not voting or voting for a 3rd party makes you a Trump supporter.

        Well Dalis work are art no discussion needed IMO, Dada toilets or pouring paint, well let’s say that I don’t think it’s art, but be free to think that if you so do.

    I suggested that good music comes from republican administrations without clarifying that I was thinking about bands like Rage Against The Machine, System Of A Down, Dead Kennedys, etc.

      That’s an interesting way of thinking about that. Huh. Sone of my favorite bands too. So if we lived under a peaceful just administration then what? Constant peaceful melodies. Do we need a machine to rage against for great music.?? You may be onto something

      Which is funny because Rage broke up when W Bush got elected.

    It was a post about how Google had been asked to take down links to websites selling black market hormonal transition drugs and I suggested that no one should be buy them from shady sources like that in the first place as those compounds are important enough to not just buy whatever you can find as a personal attempt to fix body dysphoria.
    People just wanted to be upset.

    Though I have also been recently banned from upliftingnews for not being uplifted enough about basic stuff and had a mod tell me I don’t belong in their communities so I’m surprised anyone agrees with me ever apparently.

    I saw a post about how some female model apparently knew a lot of programming languages (I think it was around 60?) and left a comment about how I’d wager they only knew how to make the computer say “hello world” in most of them.

    What I was intending was more that if much anyone told me they knew a ton of different programming languages (regardless of their jobs or side hustles) then that’s what I would expect. Don’t blame the downvoters for reading that as misogynistic and demeaning to models, but that’s not what I was intending. Just that much anyone claiming they can program in that many languages reads to me like they’re really inflating their numbers to brag.

    Though in retrospect I can see how a magazine (or another similar group) may want to pull that number out of her in an interview (so she wouldn’t necessarily be bragging about it) and may not care about exactly how accurate or misleading the number could be compared to what they actually said.

    There was a Reddit post of a WWII picture of a blown up US artillery piece where the round detonated in the chamber and killed the crew.

    I replied something like “Looks like they got a taste of their own medicine”.

    While it still to this day gives me a chuckle, the reception was rather cold.

    In all my days, the two most hated comments I dropped were:

    1. Explaining that traveling specific speeds is not inherently less safe, but that context of conditions and location heavily change how safe we feel.

    2. Attempting to give someone a free trip across the country so that I could have a body to assign one of her three cats to, since it was just after covid and finding any way to get a cat across the country was strangely difficult or exceptionally expensive. Apparently I’m a terrible person for not including a place to stay, or a return trip, or anything? Like… I’m trying to save money getting a cat across the country, why would I then spend more money for someone I literally don’t know? It was more of a ‘please help get cat from a to b, I’ll pay for it’ Ended up dragging my wife with me for the third person because people were being weird and angry about it.

    My most downvoted comment is me trolling during the US elections. My comment says that I won’t vote, without giving the context of being unable to vote due to not being an US citizen. But it would be obvious to those paying attention to my instance. https://feddit.org/comment/2935779

      didn’t know there were sorting functions, I just like to go through my comments sometimes and noticed my most down voted one, that got me curious. But a sorting function would be pretty epic…

      Profilie -> comments tab -> sort by controversial


      It would also be interesting to see which comment is most disliked (which one has the most net negative score), but I don’t think there’s a sort that does that.

    More just that Bethesda is the biggest maker of Triple A RPGs and they’re finally updating the creation engine in a significant way. That said, to my knowledge, its still one of the more technically advanced RPGs (even if it doesn’t do much with that tech) and could hopefully at least work as a proof of concept to more ambitious developers.

    I made the mistake of going against the circlejerk and saying Starfield was relatively advanced tech by RPG standards. I was called toxic for even daring to suggest it was trying to innovate.

      I definitely see your point. A good game is not just the tools that make it, but the vision to use them the right way.

      People still love Fallout New Vegas, even though it was built on the same tools as Fallout 3 (and most other Bethesda games), but that’s because Obsidian were able to build a better game out of those tools than Bethesda could.

      I know it’s cool to call out Bethesda for how buggy their engine is, but Starfield launched relatively bug-free. It’s the gameplay systems, story, and repetitive world design people had issues with. A better developer could probably make a better game out of Starfield’s tech.

    Must be this one, but the downvotes were part of the game in that thread so I guess it doesn’t really count. Other than that I’ve never gotten more than like 3 downvotes on a post.

    I corrected a commenter who clearly hadn’t read the article the post was based on. 22 up/31 down. I was obviously a Russian bot, you see. XD

    Did you read the article? Biden made many of Trump’s tarrifs permanent and Harris, while critical of Trump’s tarrifs, hasn’t put forth her own plan or disowned the Biden strategy.

    Edit: Fucksake, Lemmy. It says this in the article. I said nothing positive or negative about either candidate or their positions on tarrifs. 😆

    My most downvoted posts here were agreeing with Hillary Clinton in an interview where she said in a personal interview, not a campaign event, that left wing voters need to “get over it” (infighting during election season) and support then-candidate Biden because we only get 2 choices and if we don’t we’ll end up stuck with another Trump term.

      Not a lot of Americans know this but what would theoretically happen in a case of nobody voting enough or no-votes (like that’s ever going to happen). The government will run a specialized election, but that election will only be voted on the government members themselves. It goes to the House of Representatives.

      And that’s something we don’t want.

        Is this in reference to the 12th Amendment or something else?

        The more I learn about Andrew Jackson, the more I see why Trump chose his photo to hang up, and the more I see we haven’t learned much as a country in 200 years. 😑

            Ah cool, just wanted to make sure I read about the thing you were talking about as the 12th covers some other topics too. It was an interesting story how that all came about, thanks for encouraging me to look it up!
