Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Disgraced Andrew insists royal staff call him 'sir' and fetch beerEnglish
4·3 days agoThe line has been manipulated several times by Parliament, including the selection and elimination of kings.
The point of the royal family now isn’t to be a defined lineage, but an agreed upon vessel to hold power when Parliament temporarily breaks. Even then, Queen Elizabeth II was kind of shit at it.

politics @lemmy.world•Americans Are Leaving the U.S. in Record NumbersEnglish
2·4 days agoIt depends on who.
For immigrants changing their mind, they are either going to approach it as moving back to their old country or being an immigrant in the new country.
For most native born Americans who I know who did or will, they will also likely self identify as immigrants.
It will be the elderly moving to Latin America to retire who will likely refer to themselves as “expats”.

2·10 days agoXBox will still get development as long as Microsoft wants gaming on PC on a way it can somewhat control. Part of the reason why the XBox got made was because Microsoft already developed the software required to make a console.

Games@lemmy.world•News - Diablo 2: Resurrected, A Remaster Of A 26-Year-Old Game, Currently Has More Players Than Diablo 4English
2·10 days agoI feel like D3 had to both be a new version of D2 and not be a simpler WoW. WoW lifted a lot of its initial design from D2 and improved on it. I could see Blizzard trapped with trying to make another Diablo without killing WoW.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Tiny Homes Are Big in Texas—and They’re Selling ‘Rapidly’English
5·13 days agoIf these were ADU’s or something similar, I’d respect them more. This just looks like typical suburbia but with tiny homes.
I question why this couldn’t be a set of apartments.
The US military has been skittish on regime change since Vietnam, but had a lot of those points reinforced by Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Trump administration is using the military more like Reagan used it, make some quick attacks combined with spy operations and manipulate the chaos to get diplomatic goals achieved. The US doesn’t want to own the rebuilding effort since that is the costly part.
