Originally it was, with a more guilt-trippy headline, but like with most propaganda people like this come up with, I fail to see the problem.
Imagine your parents giving you the chance to be born and grow up in actual Heaven, having never been at the mercy of...gestures vaguely at everything....and that's supposed to be bad parenting.
That's apparently the evil option. The good parenting option is the one with all the murder and starvation and the constant risk of sin and therefore hell. You're giving your child the opportunity to go to hell if you have it here, instead of just automatically sending it to heaven like you could.
The first one was good but killing floor 2 really shines. The diverse perks let you fill the same role with different capabilities, talent trees let you further customize your build, and the weapon selection is fantastic.
People have actually said this to me in full seriousness. Preemptive revenge killing against hypothetical wild pig attacks is apparently self defense, so that's why they eat pork from real captive factory farm pigs. It is such odd... "logic", clearly working backwards from the point they want to arrive at.
Like srsly, it was something like a month ago on this very platform.
Wild pigs don’t exist though. They’re invasive feral pigs. And eating them is the right thing to do after killing them. And they need to be killed for ecological reasons.
Definitely not a valid point against what I’m assuming is veganism, or even a coherent intelligent thing to say, but I want to make sure we are all on the same page that wild boar are insanely dangerous and will kill you dead.
I’m not a vegan but I admire the commitment and resolve of those who are, just want to spread the word about the dangers of wild boar after I watched a steel tipped arrow bounce off of one while on the first and only time one of my country ass friends talked me into accompanying them while they hunted.
Oh absolutely, this is a serious problem for some! I've read enough boar attack stories to know they are a legitimate threat. Cougar and wolf attacks are more common in my area, albeit rare overall. But all three animals are all very different than dogs, cats and pigs. Common ancestors sure, but absolutely very different today.
Of course every human has the right to defend themslevss from animal attack. That's just a very different equation than buying bacon at the super market while ignoring the suffering of a pig that never left it's factory farm.
The 1950s sci-fi pulp author Fredric Brown wrote one of his (then) famous short-short stories about a man who came up with the serum for immortality and took it, but he had a cold at the time, and the germs also developed immortality and reproduced so much that his symptoms got worse and worse and eventually put him into a coma. After a while, his colleagues realized he’d never get out of the coma, so they just buried him.
Actually yeah. i’ll guarantee that was it. 14 days ago I was making fun of hexbear users defending russia’s war crimes in the memes /c/ of all places… which is weird that they defend it considering russia is very not-communist anymore.
still sucks since many of the largest communities around things like linux and tech are on .ml
I’m kinda not surprised the FOSS community would end up on a communist instance, I’m actually considering just blocking the entire .ML instance at this point.
I’m so sick of seeing them having a tantrum every time YouTube tries to make them either pay for the service, or watch ads.
I have a feeling it was more of “that was the biggest instance when we all got started here so we all just stayed here”. The prime-mover advantage for lemmy.world and lemmy.ml is pretty severe and it still shows in user counts/activity. It’s just gotten more obvious over time what lemmy.ml admins (and by extension the developers of the platform) really support.
I’m pretty sure if xi Jinping asked dandelions or whatever his name is to chow down on his rice noodle he’ll do it without any hesitation taking one for the team
Okay can someone please point me to a real, physical, existing example of this happening? I’ve got multiple accounts on multiple instances from when the servers I used were less stable and not once on any of them have I ever seen a single person defended Russia or China politically.
Not trying to be divisive it just comes up a lot and at this point feels like a red scare tactic
I haven’t seen it personally, maybe I just run in different circles but I’ve asked to be directed to an example on 3 occasions now and never once has one been provided.
Not saying it isn’t happening, would just like some proof that it’s not just a band wagon
I had about 6 in my inbox at one time, but they’ve all been lost to the winds of fediverse moderation at this point.
A vast majority of instances have defederated from hexbear/lemmygrad/etc by now. So you dont see nearly as much of them outside of the main lemmy.ml communities, and those that do end up outside them ususally get moderated out by local admins.
If you really are curious. Take a scroll through some of the comments on hexbears “dunk tank” like so. See how long you can read before closing the tab out of disgust. Most of them are commenting completely unironically… (That thread is not Russia specific yes but I couldn’t stomach to scroll down that community any farther. It gives you an idea.)
Proximity really makes friendships better, and at least easier. Some of the best memories are made on a whim. And even with the busiest people you can have a better chance of seeing them with a spontaneous text versus a long-term plan.
Because it was used to launder money. And, bankrupting a business is actually a way to avoid taxes, especially when you regularly lie on your tax filings.
Because he opened a second casino on the same strip, effectively competing for limited customers with his first casino, ensuring that both casinos failed. I’m serious. He really did that lol
You can cross your eyes to spot the differences or similarities of two almost identical pictures if they are beside eachother. e.g. sometimes there are “spot the 10 differences” pictures next to each other on the back of cornflakes boxes. I loved solving those because it’s easy if you cross your eyes just like when you try to see a “magic eye” picture.
I think it’s kind of like those 3D pictures where if you let your eyes unfocus and then slowly refocus, both images line up. I did it and it’s really weird since the colors are so different, but it looks like two images of hotdogs, one on top of the other.
