  • Unfortunately, this is a huge reality happening in almost all EU countries, at least those that accepted a ton of immigrants. I live in Spain, and I can tell you that right and hard-right winning is a no surprise at all. There’s a minor but loud immigrant that simply doesn’t care about anything but themselves: for example, go search the thefts crimes committed in Barcelona these few years: they increased by an alarming rate. In fact, the 60% of prisoners in Spain are foreigners. The overall crime rates have increased since accepting so much immigration. And this is a shame, because obviously not all immigrants are the same, but for the fault of those minor cases, they reputation is decreasing hardly.

    And, before anyone crosses me out as a “nazi” or anti-immigration let me tell you: when I was born, my parents didn’t have the Spanish citizenship, so yep, my family and I were illegal immigrants. Also, my parents suffered from discrimination (for example, their university degrees were never validated, people were extra mean to them, insults (“return to your home”, “we don’t speak that language here”… you name it) but even with this discrimination level, they never, but never steal from anyone, they never raped anyone, they worked very hard and finally, after 20 years, we can say that we’re living a normal live.

    Tomorrow is the election, and obviously voting those parties in my perspective is stupid, but I can understand why is happening.


  • So let’s supose for a moment they do distribute the code, so what? It’s really the end of the world?

    Nintendo doesn’t sell GameCube or Wii games anymore, if you wan’t to play them good luck finding the products at good price (also, again, doing it in a second market where Nintendo doesn’t earn anything, just the speculators).

    We always say that piracy solves a problem, and in this case is to mantain an replay those games that were forgotten. At least Xbox is retro compatible and Sony, although not having all games, has a variety with Plus.

    Its true that Nintendo has something similar to Sony, but only with the classic games and only a few, it doesn’t have Wii or Gamecube.

    Sorry for the long text, but I really hate Nintendo for doing this kind of things. Just a shame they do such great games so people forgive them.





  • I’m not trying to sound insensitive (I never come across anything like that in real life), but is it really that bad to assume someone’s gender? You literally don’t know anything about that person, or how they identify. Do people get offended when you missgender them if it’s the first time you’ve met them?

    I could understand someone being offended if you do missgender them every time, but what if it’s the first time you’re meeting? Just say sorry and then say the correct pronoun.

    First of all, I barely gender people (I’ve always been like this, saying friend, partner, mate…) so I’m really surprised by this new trend. Maybe I’m getting old lol.



  • Although it is true that Firefox posts/comments can get tiring, I think you replied yourself. Google is killing adds-blockers, who knows what will happen with chromium-based browsers. Turns out Firefox has nothing to do with chromium, plus they care for privacy, plus it works great and the list goes on.

    I find it obvious people will recommend it, even more here, on Lemmy. If you don’t like it, downvote it, keep scrolling or just don’t click the post.
