I'm genuinely curious as to why you think this is trolling? A serious point is being made.

She concisely made a very important point that is absolutely the central underpinning of class relations: "How do rich people get their money?". And to continue the constructive discussion, the original poster only need answer the question "how did they get that money". Finding the answer to that question alone is justification for class war. She also put in some cute goose emojis which are just cool.

I'm not sure if you genuinely didn't realise, but they already said they were Irish, so they clearly mean the United Kingdom. Which has indeed deliberately inflicted mass starvation and violent oppression on the people of Ireland for centuries, with the implied (and sometimes explicit) goal of killing non-royalists.

Just to echo something the main post said - Seeing large images is actually a frustrating Lemmy bug that's yet to be fixed. On Hexbear we post a small, standard emoji-size image and that's all we see our side, so nobody is even aware that others are seeing it obnoxiously huge.

I've got to say, Steam's native Wine/Proton implementation works decently well, and really entices me to buy games without native Linux support on Steam.

Absolutely fair point, you may well be right. I pretty much agree on all points.

I want to say ARP. Can I say ARP?

Followed by brrrrrrBRRRRRRRaaaaAAaAAaAKRrrrRKrrrKRrrkrKRrKrrKrRkrrrrrrrrrrr, in my experience.

It's just unnecessary ignorance, think I'll start using the term 'United American States' instead.

I struggle with this, I make a minor effort but what am I meant to do when my high Cha, high Diplomacy character is more charismatic and diplomatic than me? :( I either skimp on the RP or do some very unrealistic RP as my awful unconvincing wording magically convinces the NPC anyway.

This seems like the right take. It's based on expectations.

Though slightly cliche, this just feels right. That niece has learned a great lesson about how collaborating to improve things is always possible, and that open-source relies on everyone doing their bit.
