HardlightCereal got banned from Raddle for doxing someone. The site’s primary admin quite literally uses they pronouns. That doesn’t preclude enbypobia in itself but should at least make you question what HardlightCereal’s actual goal is without more evidence.

Oh no! So anyways, how’s the weather?

Ok here's my take from someone who hasn't played them in probably close to 2 decades, didn't actually own them but just played with a friend who owned it. But I did love the series at least enough that I still have impressions of my feels from over 20 years ago.

I remember loving playing Twisted Metal 2. I can remember sitting in front of the TV plating the single and multiplayer. I can't remember the specifics of much more beyond very basic mechanics but there is a very positive emotion. My memory of Twisted Metal 3 is just disappointment and blandness.

I didn't get much time with either game but I remember having the choice between them and choosing 2 over 3 consistently.

If a large chunk of people are in a similar situation as me, only vague limited impressions from long ago, give their opinions you their opinion over more than a decade you build a very negative image.

Throw in people just discovering the games and being told 2 is good and 3 is bad. They then compare maybe minutes of the gameplay before deciding which to play and reinforce the narrative. You can end up with a fan base with an unjustly harsh view.

I can honestly see 3 being just kind of mediocre and just being judged awful because of how good 2 was.

In other towns where this is allowed, a representative of the entity, not the actual owner, was able to cast the ballot for the company after signing the necessary affidavit. Delaware allows for the owner of the LLC’s identity to not be public.

Yep no way this doesn't-

In a Newark referendum election in 2019, a property manager was able to vote 31 times because he was in control of 31 LLCs, which owned 31 parcels of land. The city then changed its regulations after this became public.

Ah it already did cause problems.

Why in the world would you put business on the same legal basis of actual citizens?

Pretty much what the article says.

The alpha radiation that DU emits is not strong enough to penetrate human skin, so just being near depleted uranium is not a health risk. But it may become a health hazard if it is ingested or inhaled, or shrapnel fragments are retained in the body.

It's really just one more hazard a former battlefield can have. If I was in or around a former battlefield that had DU rounds used, I would be more concerned about unexploded high explosives.

Very informative article.

DU also has nonmilitary applications. Its high density makes it useful for stopping radiation in medical, research and nuclear facilities.

I find it funny a source of radiation, admittedly safe alpha radiation as long as it is outside of you, is used as radiation shielding.

It's really location dependent. Some places you'll see the birds in seconds and others never. You'll need to know the climate, local weather, soil conditions, what else is growing in the area, time of year, etc. to get an accurate answer.

It would be whatever is negotiated in the personality rights contract. I think voice actors have a union so I could see a standardized contract negotiated by the union.

I don't think there is a way native to Lemmy for a mod to do that. You would have to talk to the instance admin you are on to defederate them at the moment. This might change in the future.

What you might be able to do is see if anyone has made a mod bot yet. Then you could configure the bot to ban anyone who posts from instances you don't like. So reactive bans instead of preemptive.

I've seen the first couple bots pop up so I would expect to see a mod bot pretty soon.
