The government. That’s where taxes go. You can, in turn, look up your country’s budget breakdown to see where it goes from there.

📛Maven@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•“It Wouldn’t Be Surprising If, in Two Years’ Time, There Was a Film Made Completely Through AI”: Says Hayao Miyazaki’s Own SonEnglish15·4 months agoPassing reminder that Goro Miyazaki is an architect who never wanted to make movies. He was brought on as an architecture advisor, and the studio kept pushing him to take more and more responsibility because he’s his father’s son, and his father encouraged it. The movie sucks because he’s not a director and he didn’t want to make it.
(Side note: I actually rather like Tales from Earthsea, so when I say it sucks I’m referring to general public reception and not my own opinion.)

📛Maven@lemmy.sdf.orgto Canada@lemmy.ca•Could maple water replace coconut water? Ontario producers hope so | Globalnews.caEnglish9·5 months agoI live on the west coast, where we have a ton of filipino-canadians, and they drink it like, well, like it’s water. There’s almost as many coconut water cans as bottled water bottles in public recycling bins. Every grocery stocks it.
📛Maven@lemmy.sdf.orgto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What is the minimum number of words needed to communicateEnglish6·5 months agoTo be fair though, speaking as a fan of toki pona, it’s important to point out that it is far from a list of essential words, it’s intentionally not designed to be able to communicate a majority of essential concepts clearly. It’s designed to be able to communicate simple, positive concepts easily, but to require thought and ambiguity to communicate negative or complex concepts. It’s literally meant to make you have to think more positively.
“Horde” is orcs. “Hoard” is dragons.

It’s the most infuriating thing I’ve experienced in a shooter in years. When your game is PVP, sometimes you do have to nerf things man.
📛Maven@lemmy.sdf.orgto Memes@lemmy.ml•the hand grip can be used as a metal file to break out of prisonEnglish16·9 months agoNope! It just inexplicably sucks
📛Maven@lemmy.sdf.orgto Games@sh.itjust.works•Dong Nguyen (Flappy Bird creator) No, I have no related with their game. I did not sell anything. I also don't support crypto.English351·11 months agoYes, it’s a pretty common korean and chinese name.
📛Maven@lemmy.sdf.orgto 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Trans-Exclusionary Ruledical MoldEnglish127·11 months agoI like how your pronouns are “equipped”. Got you a pocket full of pronouns. DOn’t you drop them, or nobody will be allowed to talk about you!
You’re joking, right? Pre-2012, it was one of the most visited sites on the internet and in the top 20 gaming sites. They weren’t some no-name blog. Then after they hired Totilo, their shitty pop-tabloid reporting became so infamous even Forbes had articles about it, well before gamergate was ever a thing. This all used to be sourced info on the wiki page.
📛Maven@lemmy.sdf.orgto TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•'Star Trek: Prodigy' Season 3 Gets a Sobering Update From Its CreatorsEnglish2·1 year agoTrauma from torture can be overcome. A lingering connection to the Borg is lifelong.
📛Maven@lemmy.sdf.orgto Games@lemmy.world•Game Informer shuts down after 33 yearsEnglish111·1 year agoNah, Kotaku had a shit reputation for years before gamergate got shat into existence. Their reporting was sloppy and often wrong, most of them sucked at the games they were reviewing, they spammed out vapid clickbait articles about nothing to farm ad rev. The only reason people respect them now is because they were positioned opposite gamergate, as if two things can’t both suck.
📛Maven@lemmy.sdf.orgto Games@lemmy.world•Volt Recharge - Official Announcement TrailerEnglish1·1 year agoThis is from a couple months back. Still excited, though.
📛Maven@lemmy.sdf.orgto Games@sh.itjust.works•[Overlord Gaming] Denuvo performance impact tested before and after DRM was removed.English20·1 year agoThe one that kills me is the PC release of Project Diva. Denuvo usually gets pulled after a year or so, because it’s not a one-time purchase for the publisher, they charge a recurring license fee. But for some ungodly reason, SEGA’s decided to keep paying to have it in a rhythm game. For two and a half years, you just… sometimes lose inputs or miss a note you should’ve hit, because Denuvo decided you’re gonna stutter just there.
📛Maven@lemmy.sdf.orgto Canada@lemmy.ca•Could a policy Justin Trudeau rejected give the Liberals the bump they need?English491·1 year agoTL;DR they think he should look at electoral reform again
A huge wedge of the liberal voter base were disenfranchised when Trudeau promised electoral reform, practically guaranteed it, and then just announced they weren’t going to do it but don’t worry here’s legal weed. Many of them were youth voting for the first time, and that betrayal set the tone. If he set it in motion before the election, is it possible they’d recapture at least some of that base? Sure. Would I vote for him? Not a chance.
📛Maven@lemmy.sdf.orgto Games@sh.itjust.works•AMD CEO Lisa Su reminisces about designing the PS3's infamous Cell processor during her time at IBMEnglish1·1 year agoSetting aside that the industry professionals definitely count it as current gen for sales metrics, that’s fuckin, irrelevant when the statement is about all three of last gen, current gen, and next gen. Whichever one you want to call the Switch part of, it’s the best selling console of that generation, so the statement that AMD sold chips the best selling console of that generation is false. Unless you want to make the claim the Switch is from 2006, they are incorrect.
📛Maven@lemmy.sdf.orgto Games@sh.itjust.works•AMD CEO Lisa Su reminisces about designing the PS3's infamous Cell processor during her time at IBMEnglish41·1 year agoHow can the switch be a different console from last gen, current gen, and next gen? Those are literally the only generations it could be considered part of.
Amazon delivers, just not same-day. I’ve lived north of 55’ my whole life, and usually it takes 3-5 days.
