I can certainly understand wanting to keep your exposure to these topics to a certain time and not be bombarded throughout the day. A lot of us would probably be better off if that was something we could do. That said, I think Gaywallet is right that this will be difficult due to the way that Beehaw is - our communities are a lot broader than ones on, say, reddit or other Lemmy instances for the most part, which means that a "no politics" rule is going to be impractical in a lot of cases.

How do you normally browse Lemmy/Beehaw? If you're accessing via browser it may be more difficult, but if you mostly browse on Mobile using a Lemmy app I know that some of them have keyword filters that you might be able to use to catch some of these types of posts. The School Lunch example would probably be difficult, but the other two you could probably have prevented from showing up in your feed with a filter like that.

When I'm browsing on Android I've been using Voyager which I know has a filter like this under "Filters and Blocks" in the settings menu.

I have a sh.itjust.works account that I use to join meme communities there and on .world + a few other instances. The comments are a cesspool but the memes are...reasonably dank?

Not sure I understand this take. The game was a commercial product, Fromsoft made it to sell to people. That doesn't preclude it from being art, and a film adaptation being made of it also doesn't preclude that.

A24 has a pretty good reputation for taking risks, and they're an independent production company. Seems like probably the best possible way something like an Elden Ring film could be made, IMO.

I've been somewhat surprised by Amy Coney Barrett. Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with her, but I've been surprised by her willingness to break with the conservative majority, and I'm surprised by her recusal here. Still - the fact that this is a 4-4 ruling is horrifying

I've gotten sucked into the rabbit hole that is multiworld randomizers lately. I've done several smaller multiworlds with a group of friends (4-8 players) all playing different games, and a week or so ago got involved in a larger one (15 or so players) that was organized on a forum I frequent. All of these have been through Archipelago, and if you're not familiar with multiworld randomizers their FAQ is a decent introduction. I've played a few different games in these - Minecraft, Wind Waker, and most recently Balatro, and all of them have been really interesting and fun ways to play games that I was already pretty familiar with. Also, my regular gaming group has had trouble finding multiplayer games that we all want to play recently, and these archipelago multiworlds make it so that we can play something together without all having to agree on what to play, plus you can play asynchronously so we can start together but then finish runs out as we have time. It's been really cool and I'm jonesing for more.

If you aren't trolling, then you should consider that more than one thing can be bad, and that non-consensual pornography is a violation of a person's autonomy. Please don't leave comments like this on Beehaw, if it happens again you will be banned.

I can't tell for sure, but it doesn't look like Revolt has voice chat yet? Which was what attracted my friend group to Discord initially.

I think the thing that has been most encouraging to me about these protests is seeing pictures folks in small towns and deep red states are posting of protests there.

Hey just FYI, links in the post title don't work on Beehaw. Here's the link to the steam store page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2339840/Enter_the_Gungeon_2/

I loved the first EtG and played a ton of it. I'm not entirely sold on the new 3d art style, but I'll try to give it a fair shot once it gets here.

Also, the original Enter the Gungeon is available on Xbox Game Pass for any of you folks that have it. It's absolutely worth checking out.

I'm on board with Eno here. There are issues with the current wave of generative AI, but the main reason they are such huge problems is the people who are pushing these technologies have zero concern for the potential social harms they could cause or exacerbate.

Please have the common sense not to call for violence on a public forum, especially one run by other people. I get where you're coming from, but it's doing anyone any good.

This kind of behavior is antithetical to Beehaw's ethos. It's fine to be dismissive of systems, but ever user here is a person who should be treated with kindness and respect. Please do better in the future.

or not enough of a gamer

Yeah, Discord's easy/free voice chat was the reason it got so popular. It was so much easier to use than any of the alternatives, and in-game VC was a mixture of piss-poor quality and full of toxic 14 year olds.

The audience for an author’s gripping life story in every goddamn recipe was never humans, either. That was just for Google’s algorithm. I know this sentiment gets repeated a lot, but I'm not sure it's universally true. I know back in 2012/2012 my wife was very invested in a bunch of bloggers along the lines of Pioneer Woman. A lot of the posts on those blogs were a mixture of personal anecdotes and recipes and I know my wife was there for both. It's frustrating when you're ready to cook and just want the recipe, but that's not the only (or maybe even the primary) way that a lot of these cooking/homemaking blogs were made to be consumed, I don't think.

Proponents say that that it should be a relatively humane method of execution: Nitrogen is inert and the body doesn't react to breathing pure Nitrogen with a feeling of suffocation the way that it does with CO₂, and suddenly replacing the air a person is breathing with pure inert gas can lead to unconsciousness within just one or two breaths. In practice, though, the first Nitrogen Gas execution that was carried out in Alabama last year did not go that smoothly. I'm not sure about subsequent executions, there have been a handful.

I assumed that was probably the case, but Poe's Law and all.

/s <-- I hope you dropped this...

If you can't tell the difference between being upset that a game was made badly and being cruel to the developers, you may need to take a step back.

Sorry, I just realized that you might take that as directed at you. I realize that sometimes the NYT is the best or only source for news, I've just been very frustrated with the NYT, especially when it comes to stuff like this.
