So far as I know, they’re not shoving 20 ads in your face on every screen.
I know they’re far from perfect. Heck they have a forced arbitration clause in their ToS.
But compared to other services lately, Discord seems to mostly be trying to treat users as customers instead of products for advertisers. I’ll take it, and get some neat conveniences from Discord in turn.
There are too many damn love songs. 75% of all music does not need to be about love, relationships, and breakups. I stopped listening to radio because all the damn love songs got annoying.
Can we please have more songs about literally anything else. Weed, flowers, rainy days, animal companions, construction work, types of cars, card games, anything. There’s more in life to sing about than just relationships and/or the lack of them!
Sincerely,
A person whose sexuality is “No” and has no interest in that kind of relationship.
It’s sad that bACoN means more to people than the very lives of their loved ones on top of all the moral atrocities inherent in animal ag.
The top reason I don’t have hope for the future. People don’t care if the world burns and disease runs rampant if it means they get their tendies right now.
Vegans simply existing make people feel uncomfortable, so defense mechanisms in the brain trigger.
Since it’s an ethical stance, and people at least deep down know that killing innocent animals for 5 minutes of taste pleasure is wrong, but they don’t want to change themselves.
So the brain tries to rationalize how it’s definitely not wrong and really the vegan is wrong, and/or demonize the position to shield itself from the discomfort of knowing.
Basically psychological defenses kick in to defend unethical behavior that someone highlights by simply existing.
Methane is both stronger than co2 and has the shorter half-life. We COULD swap to plant based diets on a mass scale to eliminate a huge portion of that.
It would also reduce land used for food farming (animals eat more than we get from eating them, and most are factory farmed and mass-produced fed monocrops to meet consumer demand), allowing us to rewild a lot of space.
That is in our power. Completely in OUR power. But nope. Blame corporations exclusively, take no personal action, bacon tho.
We’re going to suffer the effects of global warming, and it’s going to be everyone’s fault.
I have some spoilers (including the gist of the ending) but am playing as blind as I can manage. It’s nice to just play and discover without having a guide by my side.
It’s weird and confusing to pluralize a sentence when you’re still talking about a singular individual. We should normalize “Why is they so cute?” If we refuse to make a new non-demeaning word for a singular.
I say non-demeaning because “Why is it so cute?” Is correct, but calling a living being “it” is objectifying.
Fuck Steve Huffman should be all I need to say. Came from Apollo.
I’m not fully settled though. I’ll probably end up making an account on another instance or two, and check out Mastodon. I was never a Twitter person but hey why not try new (similar but different) things? But I also don’t feel rushed to do any of that.
Wait tgis is a real car? Wow I thought it was an art project or AI meme
