  • This is a very good question.

    I’m assuming you mean a range around $5000?

    In that case there’s really not much in that specific price range.

    Ranges in general can cost between 500 and 3000 dollars for a regular range you can get at your local appliance retailer. Here in the states that would be like home Depot or Lowe’s.

    If you wanted more high end than that you’d have to go much higher up in price. Like past $10000. It’s a weird market for ranges.

    I recommend Frigidaire for cooking appliances in general they make really good ranges. For less than $1000 dollars you can get a very decent appliance.


  • I lack a belief in a god or God’s. That is not a world view.

    However my world view stems from human secularism. One does not have to be an atheist to be a human secularist.

    Lacking in particular belief does not define me as a whole person.

    If you don’t believe in unicorns that doesn’t make you a “ununicornist”.

    In the same sense not believing in God doesn’t necessarily make me an atheist.

    But more importantly you’re not using the words you’re using correctly which is why I included the definitions or the concepts you’re missing. I can tell you simply ignore those.

    Just using Google ai. Think before you speak.

    world view: a particular philosophy of life or conception of the world. “I have broadened my worldview by experiencing a whole new culture”

    Atheism: disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods.

    Atheism is not a worldview in the sense that it is a lack of belief in gods, and does not provide a comprehensive view of the world. However, many atheists tend to have a worldview that includes empiricist, positivist, or materialist beliefs, and a strong belief in science. This worldview is sometimes called “scientism”.

    Atheism is the rejection of the idea that gods exist, and is not a belief system that answers other questions about a person’s beliefs. Atheists typically believe that the existence of gods is highly improbable, and that there is no persuasive evidence to support the belief.

    Atheism is different from identifying as an atheist. While most atheists hold an atheistic worldview, not all of them do. In fact, only about half of those who hold an atheistic worldview identify as atheists.

    Atheism is not a religion or worldview.

    Atheism is the lack of a belief in a god or God’s.

    Many atheists including myself adhere to the statement of simply being unconvinced that there is a God or having no credible evidence to indicate a God’s existence.

    Maybe the form we were filling out legitimately needed that information but typically outside of a very specific set of data. I don’t see why any form would ever ask you what your religion or lack of religion might be.



  • So let’s just address the meta here real quick. There was a comment on Lemmy to which I responded. In context the genesis of this comment is in reference to Ubisoft and the general state of inclusion politics in gaming today.

    You are questioning the fundamental motivation as to why I have an opinion on the subject matter that is presented to me under the protest that “it’s just a game”.

    I mean why even have an opinion? Why formulate thoughts? Why have any kind of discussions?

    I am abreast of what is happening generally in gaming and the industry surrounding it because I’m interested in these things. I like playing video games.

    I also have other interests. For example, I’m fairly good at playing the guitar, so there’s a lot of content in my social media about guitars and music.

    I also find it entertaining to watch flat Earth debunking videos on YouTube to pass the time.

    The reason I care about assassin’s Creed in particular is because I’ve been playing the game since the very first one. I like the franchise. I like the video games and watching it get ruined because of inclusion politics is heartbreaking.

    Moreover, they already have the game. It’s already been made. Therefore I have the right to criticize it. Simply stating “it’s just a game” isn’t helpful.

    I don’t care if there’s black people or women or LGBT people in video games. I could absolutely care less about that as long as it’s relevant to the game. If they’re just including it to be inclusive, then it’s a meaningless gesture. It brings down the game. It brings down the IP and it brings down the company that does it.

    Furthermore, people play video games for a reason. Either it be escapism or immersion or simply to pass a small amount of time till whatever else they have to do. Seeing these inconsistencies in the game breaks that immersion it no longer becomes entertainment. It becomes a political statement which I have very little interest in when it comes to my entertainment.

    You can pretend to be on your high horse all you want. I have no interest in seeing inclusion politics in my entertainment. It serves no beneficial purpose except to elevate the egos of people like you to make you feel as though something is being included.

    Pure nonsense.

    Also the new Star wars game which I don’t even remember the name of sucked universally. It didn’t make any money because people didn’t have any interest in it specifically and exclusively because of the inclusion politics added into the game. Also the main character is fucking ugly.


  • They already delayed the release due to so much negative feedback. It’s going to be a bad game. There should never have been a black person in this game at all. It’s 1600s Japan. It makes no fucking sense!

    There are so many layers as to why Ubisoft is going through what it’s going through I don’t have the energy to express it here in this comment.

    I can assure you, however, if they worried more about making good games and less of inclusion politics their stock would be worth a lot more than 2 bucks!







  • Disgusting.

    This isn’t about being diverse. It’s about making bad games.

    As a matter of fact, the new assassin’s Creed is so offensive that the Japanese government is in an uproar about it.

    Ubisofts attempt to be so inclusive and sexually neutral is what’s making their games bad because they’re stifling good game design in the process.

    That’s not to say that it’s not possible to make a good game while adhering to diversification and inclusion.

    Hellblade and horizon zero Dawn are two excellent examples of incredibly good games that don’t expound sexism. Hell, look at destiny 2. They handle these kinds of situations perfectly!

    But to simply imply people are upset because they don’t like “woke politics” is a gross over simplification of what’s happening to Ubisoft!
