Wait what?
I have missed this. Mind expanding on that last bit?

Hah, the joke is on you as I don’t even play those anymore! My PC has just been gathering dust since my hell raiser spawned last year!!

Yeah no mate, you don’t get to hide behind the argument that because it doesn’t have a 100% success rate, we might as well execute them. Murder is always unnacceptable

My friend, you are literally arguing that executing hostages is the same as attempting to release them under extremely risky conditions because it has failed in the past.

If that is truly your opinion, then I honestly have no more to say. I can’t reasonably argue with that type of opinion.

I still wish you a great day though and hope the fighting ends soon.

Execution has a kill rate of 100%.

Even if paroling is stupidly risky, the ods of death are still <100%.

It would also be seen positively by everyone and one propaganda piece less for Israel to use.

Let’s argue with reason and not pretend that because it has happened before it will happen every single time. Cock-ups happen everywhere.

We’re quite stupid and easy to influence.

Proof in point: I’ve gone from 0 to 3 Linux machines since joining Lemmy.

Someone send help, please??

Do they dislike me for no good reason? If yes: fuck them, I’m awesome!

Do they dislike me because I did something dumb? Let’s talk and let me appologise if I cocked something up for you. My intentions are rarely malicius.

This let’s me live a happy life knowing I didn’t ruin anyone’s day and ignore the rest.

Is there any chance this will ever pass?

I don’t really know what it would take to get this done

For me it’s been the stability of our sever.

It’s run by a private person on nothing but goodwill and interest, which I was afraid would only last a few months. He (and the other admins) have done an incredible job keeping things running smoothly and with a very level headed approach to content filtering and general rules.

You all deserve a massive round of applause from all of us benefitting with zero work.

Aye.

Cars can be replaced. Lives can’t. I guess it also boosts morale seeing equipment that actually works.

Yeah same.
I only use it to follow r/ukraine, and I don't comment or vote.

Lemmy is not perfect but it scratches my itch to see what random strangers think about random topics so I don't really miss it.

It's not that you can't complain, but moreso that people are tired of reading about people getting ripped of over and over again.
It's getting old when the solution is so glaringly obvious.

Alternatively focus your grievances towards the company. That has a better chance of making an impact in reducing the tainted waters.

So in short: you have a right to complain, but we have a right to tell you that you are a part of the problem if you pre-order or support companies continually doing this crap.
