  • I had the same issue but clicked the pic again and it was HQ and legible. Maybe the image is just big and took a while to load and was falling back to the smaller thumbnail?

  • House panel unanimously approves bill that could ban TikTok

  • Fuck your whatsboutism. This is good news; tiktok is a propaganda machine.

  • Sovereign citizen is getting a world passport, which of course is fake.

  • They're quoting the scammer in a pretend conversation where the scammer reads their own website rules and provides subtext for the terms.

  • COVID: German man vaccinated 217 times had no side effects

    Jump

  • I don't understand how this is allowed. Why let someone who is already vaccinated get more vaccines pointlessly? Why nobody stepped in and said this is a waste of time and resources?

  • What recent video game do you have buyer remorse for?

  • I was glad when it was done that's for sure. Like being on a tedious kiddie ride

  • Have video games become expensive now?

    Jump

  • Well there's also just a lot more games now, and even retro games that have been around are competing (I'm playing RE1 for example, bought it recently cuz I've never played it before)

    So I don't think it's intrinsically due to other life costs being high. When you have games like battlebit and palworld and lots of ftp games just saturating the market it's hard to justify charging so much. People literally don't have the lifespan to play all the games that exist and will continue to be created over time.

  • Scalping Rule ☭

    Jump

  • You can't just buy a house and sell it for a higher price. You are either flipping it to raise its value which is a lot of work or sitting and holding the house and waiting for it to appreciate. Product scalpers don't have to-do either, nor do they have to pay interest on the loan like they would a mortgage.

    Product scalpers rely on sudden bulk purchase of a limited supply batch of products. Unless you're a mega millionaire you can't do that with housing. So I don't think you should consider it unethical to buy a second home and rent out. It is a valid source of income.

  • Can someone explain to me what makes Taylor Swift so popular?

    Jump

  • You have to explore all her albums in order to really form that opinion. People who like that kind of music will do so, and likely decide that she is phenomenal.

    But then folks like you and me will not want to take time to ingest all that music that doesn't appeal to us, so we have to speculate based off what we get exposed to which is generally her pop songs on the radio and such. But we aren't really getting the full Taylor Swift. So it's like we're judging a sample of her stuff (which sounds like a lot of other pop cuz all pop sounds basically the same) and oversimplify what she offers to music.

    I'm completely speculating... Like I said we'd have to dive into all those albums and listen to really form a meaningful opinion.

  • My brother is a swiftie and seems to think that her talent is above and beyond a standard artists talent. One thing that is praised is how much range she has covered across her albums.

    I'm personally not a fan, and to me she seems overrated, but I also have to recognize the mass following and legitimate consistency in the music quality. She's not like a Katy Perry recycling the same tune.

    So I think she's like a really nice pizza, appealing but always good quality, always fresh.

  • It's a BioShock reference with the "slave obeys" statement and the golf club right?

    Potential spoilers but I guess we can leave it at that for our fellow lemmyists who haven't played BioShock.

  • Not to mention the creator of GIF prefers the JIF pronunciation.

    It doesn't really matter, but I find the hard g folks have a stick up their ass about it.
