Another workaround is hiding the voting arrows in settings

The counter strike twitter has been pulling this shit for a while ever since source 2 rumors started picking up steam so I wouldn’t get my hopes up

Telegram channels are your best bet. Something like STL Forest or STLworld should have what you need

The political compass isn’t real

we didn’t ‘sell’ the monoblock, but rather auctioned it for charity due to a miscommunication

I don’t think you’re making the point you think you’re making

I mostly picked it back up to have access to the PoGo exclusive shinies (Mew, Jirachi, Meltan/Melmetal, Genesect and Deoxys) but I just spoof instead (trying to play in negative temps outside of a city is no fun) and just trade cool stuff to friends (who live in different places so I can’t even trade with them legitimately if I wanted to).

Another example of bullshit is the PAID shiny Mew ticket. Even after you pay for it you still need to complete a potentially ridiculous requirement of completing the kanto dex. Which would be fine if they didn’t geolock Kangaskhan to Australia (outside of events in the past?) so you would be shit out of luck if you didn’t either already have one or knew someone you can meet up with in real life that did.

As for your 2016 mons, the first 9 or so you trade will be guaranteed to be lucky meaning an IV floor of 12/12/12 or 80% (and half stardust cost) so you would ideally trade them for something strong and/or shiny like a shiny legendary or strong mega/dragon/top within its type pokemon. All 2016 pokemon have like a 75% of making a trade lucky so they’re all valuable. Another trick to get people to nag their friends and family to start playing again.

I played in 2016 and started playing again in 2023 and I was surprised at how little had changed but its par for the course for the pokemon franchise.

Almost all your other grievances are partly due to how mobile games are monetized and how much of it relies on fear of missing out (applies to regular pokemon events too). Pokemon Go is a constant stream of FOMO to try and get you to spend money when there’s barely any payoff. A pokemon you can catch in the wild can already be 87% of the way to a perfect pokemon you spend months (years?) getting stardust, candy and XL candy to max out.

My 2012 laptop runs windows 10 perfectly fine and has the latest security updates. We’re way past the point of using hardware limitations as an excuse for companies to drop support early.

I don’t see why a school should have to replace their basic computers with an equally basic computer after 3 years unless it’s broken beyond repair. I don’t think the OS itself is doing much more than what an enterprise copy of windows does for security.

It’s important to remember that there are children on the internet that comment like every other user making it difficult to tell whether the person replying to you has a fully developed brain or not. There are also a lot of stupid, unreasonable or unpleasant adults (or any combination of these things) who do not understand or care to understand your specific situation or take back the unfair things they said to you.

While it may not be easy for you to outright ignore them, it may be easier to ignore the feelings that may arise from those hurtful words when you put things into context. That is not to say that you should ignore the opinions of others online completely but that you should give less weight to any one individual comment. The anonymity of the internet makes otherwise polite people say things in ways they would never think of saying in person.

CSGO can be pretty toxic but I’m glad I don’t have other reference points to compare it to tbh.

Is the only source for the jet part the tweet from the guy with “I will not submit. I will not comply.” as his bio?

They also go to admins of your instance

Not yet available as others have said. It’s been requested and the request was greenlit but it still needs someone to implement the feature: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2397

Sure, but I don’t think it has to be a subscription nag. They’re free to monetize as they wish but I don’t have to use it either when non-subscription alternatives exist.

I set this up and like the UI but it does that stuff where it says things like “Hey you have duplicates do you want to remove them? Oops sorry you gotta pay for that” and “Hey we noticed you’re using a adblocker”. Everything has to be a subscription service these days.
