But... why?

So "Follow System" is now premium?

Terraria is 2D Minecraft.

Your turn.

“Death to the opposition!”

This photo is mesmerising and intimidating all at the same time.

Does anyone know of a high res version or the source of it?

We need this community here.

Fair enough. Sad that you don't worry if you offend.

Shame, too. You made a good point, although I don't fully agree. Sadly it is shouted into a void of your own making.

Here a similar article at Euronews without the annoying Yahoo consent pop-up.

Alright. I get your point. It is hard to consider it, sadly, because you offend me presenting it. Let me explain:

Calling someone's opinion stupid is disrespectful and dismissive. It never leads to a productive discussion. Calling someone's opinion stupid may shut down any further discussion or exchange of ideas, as it implies that the other person's thoughts and opinions aren't worth a penny.

Instead of calling someone's opinion stupid, it is much more productive to engage in a respectful conversation. A conversation that tries to understand each other's perspective - even and especially if we don't agree. This is how truth and wisdom are often born. At the very least such a discussion leads to a more productive exchange of ideas and a better understanding of each other's viewpoints.

Agree with someone or not, but respect others. Surely we all deserve at least that.

Edit: spelling & some clarity

Here is an article that helps a bit with that.

It goes almost without saying that you definitely want to avoid the United States and even more so China, Russia and so forth.

Am not overlooking it. It's my go to Lemmy app.

You didn't. I didn't say you did.

I just built on your comment.

I apologise for the misunderstanding.

Not as bad is still bad.

Like saying "instead of drinking a glass of poison, I just drink half of a glass. Its better for my health."

This made me chuckle more than it should have.

I know, right? I love it too! 🦆

I don't like just saying "this", but a mere upvote doesn't seem good enough.

Therefore, have an upvote and a 💝.

I love this arrangement of food.

Guess there's not much Alpha about me. Then again, if I'm loved, who cares?

Jealousy, maybe?

What's wrong with babying someone we love?

Forgot what love is and that there are a million ways of expressing it, huh?

And what's it anyone's business anyways?

I asked Bing chat a similar question. Here the sobering answer:

The Gulf Stream is a crucial system of ocean currents that plays a vital role in Earth's climate. If it were to collapse, the consequences would be significant and abrupt. Some of the potential consequences include:

• Fast sea level rise in the Atlantic¹
• More extreme winters in Western Europe¹
• Disruptions to monsoon systems in the tropics¹
• Greater cooling and more powerful storms across the Northern Hemisphere¹
• Severe disruption to the rain that billions of people rely upon to grow crops in Africa, South America, and India¹
• Extreme cold to Europe and parts of North America¹
• Raised sea levels along the U.S. East Coast¹
• Endangerment of the Amazon rainforest and Antarctic ice sheets¹

It is important to note that scientists are warning that the Gulf Stream could collapse at any time². The shutdown of this ocean current could lead to serious consequences globally, impacting heat and rainfall distribution². A major Atlantic current could collapse by midcentury as a result of climate change, prompting extreme cold in Europe and sea level rise along the eastern coast of the U.S., according to a study³. It is crucial that we take action to prevent this from happening.
