I usually struggle with just “going with the flow” and stop trying to minmax everything in videogames, but Crusader Kings is one of those few games where I manage to let go and enjoy the chaos.

Same Edit : found a workaround by looking up the issue. Go to this page https://www.gog.com/cart/add/1486951595

It should add the Freedom to Buy Games as a free item in your shopping basket, which you can then add to your account

Conservatives about Pizzagate, a made-up fantasy conspiracy theory on a pedophile ring of powerful people: put them all in jail!

Conservatives about the Epstein files, a real-life conspiracy on a pedophile ring of powerful people: well surely we can’t put all these people in jail, think about the consequences!

Hey, who am I to judge the two-anus person that invented that expression

Oh putain deux lorrains, comment qu’c’est les gros ?

Explanation for the french one : onion is an old slang for anus. So “mind your own onions” is an old-fashioned way to say “mind your own ass”

Pretty sure that didn’t happen

Why did you have to login in the first place? What’s an “Oral-B brushing experience”?

I think Putin’s very glad to see the West tearing itself apart by litteraly covering up a genocide and aiding a war of agression

I work for a retailer and have been loosely involved in a project like that a few years ago.

Basically, it felt like it was mostly a very inexpensive way for the company to get everyone involved feel good about themselves. The free advertising was definitely an argument to get the higher-ups on board, but my impression was that it was kinda secondary compared to the kinda fake good conscience it gave everyone.

EDIT: You also get to say in your annual report to the shareholders that the company helped raise x millions euros to charities at no cos, which in turn makes them feel good about themselves without impacting their profits.

You can do it but only once

Wait, when they say “Bob SquarePants” they mean it as an answer to that question? Honestly that seems a bit far fetch, you’re reading into the lyrics too much

Very true in YouTube’s comment section

The UD absolutely could, but Microsoft couldn’t without facing massive legal trouble. That is, if the US legal system follows through and actually enforces EU court orders.

Regardless, unless specifically being forced to do so by the US, Microsoft wouldn’t have any reason to leave a billions-dollars market

This is peak Lemmy humor

I think you can call her the fediverse chick

Not an American, but I can totally relate with that. Some politicians in my country have taken a page from Trump’s playbook since 2016 and have started telling blatant lies on TV, the kind that are supposed to be easily refuted by any one with half a brain, and not getting any serious pushback. It took me a long time to get past the “Wait, they can’t do that, that’s not how it works!” phase
