to perpetuate backwards gender roles

I never even suggested that. Where did you get that from? All I’m saying is, people in power aren’t your friends.

Although is it a good thing that me and my wife work like crazy to keep our family going? Is this really what life is about? I’d love to be stay at home dad, yet I can’t

I literally said it’s a positive thing, just that motivation of people in power is cynical. Also I didn’t mention communism, I meant it in general regardless of regime

Maybe a bad choice of words on my part, maybe I should write “not because it’s right, but because it doubles the workforce”

Although whether “double the workforce” is good or bad, I’d keep that for a discussion, see my other comment for more info: https://lemmy.world/comment/16185467

Sorry for late response and I see the comment is now deleted by a mod but whatever (well we’re on .ml after all).

What I was trying to point out, was the “cynical” part of it. That people in power often don’t do it because they want to empower women or help people, more often than not it’s just that it brings more people into their “meat grinder” - regardless of the regime. In case of capitalism it’s obvious but it doesn’t need to be money necessarily; in the case of Stalin - pardon me if I don’t believe that he did it for “supporting women rights and making the world a better place ✌️”, he did it for the raw economic power to compete with US during cold war and so his own country wouldn’t collapse because of his stupid actions.

Whether doubling the workforce is a good thing - that I’d keep up for a debate. I deliberately didn’t want to say anything in that area, I’m just saying that the motivation of people in power is cynical, not saying if result is good or bad.

But if you’d want my personal stance - I do believe that in order to achieve welfare/prosperity, not all the people have to work. And I do believe that there are more important things in life than working. I’d love to be a stay at home dad, but I can’t. Even though my country sort of supports it, my pay would cut dramatically and we as a family wouldn’t be able to survive.

But honestly thank you for asking. It’s very refreshing to meet a person who asks and tries to understand the motivation of the commenter rather than jumping right to the conclusion (as almost every other response here)

Trolling is a art

Voyager is pretty good but mr. Voyager developer, for the love of god, add some left-right margin! I don’t know why but this makes me irrationally angry to the point I simply can’t use Voyager

Yeah :( As @dunz said, I always try to find the original source but apparently Nemi’s source is their Facebook. And thanks to fantastic Facebook design it’s virtually impossible to find it there

Is he like Medvedev of the US? You know, the crazy guy so the boss looks more normal?

I see the next BF will be developed by Dice and 4 other teams? Well I wish them luck on good cooperation but that sounds really scary team-wise.

But who knows, maybe it’ll help. Because Dice is … ok well I’m old so I don’t know if this is still true but I remember them as one of those studios that just keeps fucking things up. Bugs on bugs. Them and Creative Asembly (Total War). But as I said, I’m old, not sure how things look now

Bonus rant: But boy, I remember one bug they introduced in BF3 with one patch. The bug was that the under-barrel shotgun attachement didn’t have its own damage, but took the damage from main weapon i.e. 12 pellets x 25 HP = 300 HP. I mean, shit happens but how much of a mess there’s in the code that this happens? I’d genuinely love to see that code. And! And! That testers don’t catch it during testing! How? That it flows through all the stages up to the production. Do you even have some tests? Is there a QA team? And I know I’m not crazy because as a follow up, the EA tried to step in to put things in order. Rant over

You can’t make this shit up

No really, .ml isn’t even in top 10? Did they opt-out from these statistics or are they that small?

Edit: well I guess they really are that small. But total posts they have at 147k, what is going on here?

It’s an older meme, sir, but it checks out

I never thought I’d witness the release of 3.0 in my lifetime

Hmm really? I hated that character so much, she ruined KotOR II for me. Am I in minority?

“What to do, buddy”

I was recently thinking - is this like a real thing? Or is it more like a joke since cucumber looks the way it looks?

Have they already added commercial breaks?

You’ve got a point. But that would mean we’re praising some low-level noob. Or maybe bro like created a new account and has got skillz but got like a new low level character
