Maybe I’m too Canadian to understand but where on earth are you able to build a decent gaming PC able to play the latest AAA games on high graphics for $700?

No really, please tell me. I want to upgrade my PC.

Edit: For everyone trying to explain it to me.

1. There’s more to a PC than a CPU and GPU. Those of you giving me only those 2 that make up more than half of the $700 are kind of reinforcing my point.

2. The key thing here is running AAA games on high settings using this budget. You can’t really do that.

Like gambling, gaming can be an addiction that can really affect people’s lives.

Good point, just did :)

The current top comment to the thread you linked to answers the question. Short answer is lemmy.world is now excluded from the numbers to avoid further centralization of uses to that instance.

Oh wow didn’t even see this. Thanks for providing the actual reason.

I sort by new a lot so it definitely could be that actually. Good point.

Very true, it doesn’t make it ok or justifiable but it’s a good point to make. The wording of the article made it sound like the practice continues to a lesser degree, but I could be mistaken. If it still does then to me that’s just unforgivable.

I already hated the post you’re referencing and this one is just even worse. Please don’t turn this into a trend.

School probably.

Honestly, what’s more surprising is the numbers are that drastic. I didn’t think we have that many Gen Z users here.

Thanks SorteKanin for providing the context.

True, he’s just so well known for the ongoing genocide and decades of oppression of the Palestinian population that the corruption charges are so easy to forget. Definitely helps put into perspective just how evil this man is.

A member of what appeared to be a largely pro-Israel audience policed Gibney’s language, interrupting the producer to clarify that Netanyahu had not yet been found guilty. The attempts at seizing control of the narrative, both on screen and off, didn’t end there.

Don’t you love when people make this argument? “Well he isn’t actually convicted of blatantly committing war crimes. Just well known for it.”

The incriminating evidence in the interrogation videos have already been leaked and reported on by Israeli media. But the videos will never be shown to the public (at least legally) in that country. According to Gibney, Israeli law grants privacy to subjects who have been photographed in official proceedings, which would make publication of the footage illegal. “It’s a peculiar law to Israel [that] doesn’t affect the rest of the world,” Gibney said.

Good thing the internet exists.

What a piece of shit.

They definitely intentionally killed her. They just didn’t intend to kill an American. And even then, this is the worse that they get? Pathetic.

Well that’s because there are Palestinians still alive, duh.

It’s not about what life the children can or cannot have. It’s the environment that allows this to happen and the people who not only take advantage of it, but also allow it to flourish. Instead of trying to find a way to allow these mothers to have children and raise them in a healthy environment they force them to give them up for whatever reason (someone wanting to adopt to raise the kid isn’t the only reason, human trafficking exists). It’s not like South Korea is a poor country where they can’t take care of their citizens either. This is willful negligence at best.

Beautiful 😍.

This is how rapists justify their actions. With disgusting remarks like this that try to lay the blame with the victim. I feel so sorry for the wife, this is one of the worst things to go through as a spouse.

You’re perfect ❤️.

To increase engagement, I propose we have some idiots volunteer to respond to every scientific article and achievement on Mastodon with ridicule and skepticism.

I wonder if someone were to dress as an IDF soldier, use their ammunition, and go kill some Americans in Israel…how long would they get away with it? Like how long would America and the IDF just say “Ah that’s just classic Israeli soldiers doing what they do best.”
