The official reason is so that Big G is the default search engine on every install.

But that may very well just be a smokescreen.

I’ve seen one take that (maybe over-) simplifies to that there’s a wave of anti-establishmentalism, and while the best party to embody that under FPTP (e.g. UK, USA) is the other big party, many European parliamentary systems have proportional voting systems that allow smaller alternative parties. And the alt right sells a load of coherent, anti-establishmentalist talking points.

Dutch examples: PVV? The problem is Islamic immigrants. FvD? The problem is the Deep State^TM!

And although a lot of problems that we are experiencing (skyrocketing housing prices & cost of living, worsening labour conditions, millennials and gen Z/Alpha being worse off than their parents) are the result of the right, the left does not have a thing to sell as easily as the alt right has been able to.

I also saw the turnout polls for the Dutch vote. It was interesting to see that the portion of people who voted progressive in the last national elections and didn’t show up for the EU elections is smaller than the portion that voted fascist/populist.

Same-ish for NL. GL/PvdA continues to be the biggest, FvD is gone, all the Christians and VVD are down a seat each, VOLT got a seat and D66 is up a seat.

Unfortunately PVV grew by six seats tho, sooo…

Thank you for reminding me that this exists 😃

This meme has a weird amount of Terraria energy to it

NGL, Orphaniser or Orphanizer sounds like one hell of a metal band name

Apparently the UK still uses stone as a step above pounds. Then again, the UK is a hot mess when it comes to units…

So put your hands down my pants and I’ll bet you’ll feel nuts

Or of course the WoW parody:

Haha, well now, we call this the act of gaming. But there are several other very important differences between real people and pixels that you should know about.

It’s serious (probably). And don’t call me Shirley.

I’m assuming the Lemmy system is Bobby Tables proof here 😅

And no mention of ordering ; DROP TABLE orders;-- beers?

Cats are liquid

Change my mind.

To my mind pop:

• Save states (quicksave, load, stuff like that)
• New Game Plus
• Short range teleport, because why not.

Nah, cutting off the ads would be just fine. You’d in fact be doing the world a service.

Yet more evidence that intelligence and wisdom are separate things.

You tit! I soiled my armour, I was so scared!

Is it behind the bunny?
