ok but why is he holding a buttplug

transfem here. can confirm, meme feels like me.

cuter than i am

Didn’t see the username, still knew instinctively who posted it.

A large part of the problem here is that people have been trying to artificially grow lemmy posts via bots that repost both articles from reddit, and random news articles from various sites.

ok i made it and i am blaming you for the decision to do so

!are_the_straights_ok@lemmy.blahaj.zone

ok i made it : https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/are_the_straights_ok

We need a c/AreTheStraightsOkay on lemmy, it is my most missed community from reddit at this point.

I mean, that’s kind of the wrong question. The moral question around being vegan is not “is it ok to eat animals”, it’s “is it okay the way we as a society treat the animals that people will eat.”

I would not be against you having a humane and i cruel way to consume animals. I myself think eating animals is gross the same way a lot of humans feel that eating other humans would be gross, especially living today where it’s not difficult (albeit not exactly cheap either, but that’s because we subsidize the hell out of animal production; if those same subsidies went towards organic and cruelty free consumption, that would be the cheap option).

However, especially if you live in the united states, but to some extent also globally, it is impossible (or, in some cases, prohibitively expensive) to consume animal products without contributing to mistreatment and cruelty towards animals. I don’t think there’s any justification for that. Most people wouldn’t. That’s why the meat/animal product industries fight hard against having to disclose the source and ethics of their animal products.

Do I think “everyone should be vegan?” No. But I do think that anyone should have other options than “contribute to the mistreatment of animals” and “be vegan”, and we don’t live in a world where that’s possible; given those options i have to be vegan.

I would remain vegan even if a third option was available; we live in the future where it’s not difficult to eat an animal-free diet (except due to your own wealth vs the capitalist large corporations that own most of agriculture in the modern world and/or profit off the parts they don’t own by pretending they “invented and therefore own” seeds).

The only reason meat is a cheap option for you is because the grains (which are unhealthy for the animals) are profitable on a “dollars invested” vs “sale value of the resulting meat” scale, which is the only scale that really matters. Meat is cheap because the government gives out farm welfare to farmers growing vegetables and grains that aren’t fit for human consumption to feed to animals. If we gave those same subsidies to people farming organic and cruelty-free products, they’d be the cheapest option instead.

In any case, I don’t see a moral justification to eating animals in todays world. I don’t think that “everyone should be vegan”, i think that people should have a choice other than “contribute to animal mistreatment” and “being vegan”, and that choice shouldn’t be based on the profitability of animal cruelty.

Software bugs are not aware of, nor do they care about, all of your plans, deadlines, budgets, assigned teams, predictable results, communication between departments, or anything else. By definition, software bugs are unpredicted results. That’s what a bug is: a problem you weren’t prepared for.

Nobody’s goal is a buggy mess, nobody intends to miss a deadline. What happens is some people spend as much time on something until they’re told not to, and this becomes a business decision that comes down to estimated cost of developer time, estimated cost of not implementing it, and sometimes the bug that you care about the most is not prioritized, because of the “cost to fix” vs “cost to not fix” to project managers and executives.

You’re not special. The bugs you want fixed aren’t special. The developer who wants to fix this bug out of personal pride isn’t special, nor is their work. The only thing that is special is developer time vs profit from that developer’s time, and that decision is not made by anyone with any level of passion for the project. Just “cost of doing this” and “cost of not doing this” vs profit when doing/not-doing, which is a decision based on money only.

The whole meme of this post is a clipping issue; in real life, clipping is physically impossible, it would require two things to exist in the same physical space, and the physics that enforce that in the real world are free; we don’t have to check to make sure the physical world is mathematically possible. In game development, there is a mathematical/time cost to every interaction that real life solves with physics. There’s no way to tell a computer “don’t do anything that isn’t physically possible”, because in-game objects are not physical objects and are not affected by physical reality at all, because they are abstract mathematical concepts that are not grounded in physics, just pure math.

haha stop me lol

This is a woman who knows her way around both a velour uniform and a bottle of champaggin.

This is not as an easy of a task as you make it out to be, and becomes more difficult every year as the cost of creating an AAA game increases.

Software is complex, and the more complex it gets, the more bugs there are. There’s no such thing as bug-free software, and for every bug/feature you think “this should have been obvious to anyone making a game like this”, there are hundreds of other bugs/features that you didn’t think of but someone else thinks “should have been obvious way before release”.

(disclaimer: i am not involved in game development professionally, although i have been a software engineer professionally for decades. however these concepts apply to software development both inside and outside of the gaming industry. i also find it disgusting when gamers put on their “armchair software developer” hats and talk about how easy it should be to write a game without “whatever issue i’m currently dealing with”)

I am, what are you implying about me?

What liability? These are in government-licensed facilities regulated by the same government institutions which regulate the sale of alcohol, which require you, just like a bar or liquor store do, to verify your identity and that you are an adult with a government-issued ID, where all products are subject to government testing and taxation.

This isn’t about liability, it’s about outdated federal regulations which remain in place only because alcohol producers continue to pay off / “donate to” congresspeople to prevent a different inebriant, consumption and usage of which is demonstrably safer for both the direct consumer and the general public, from affecting alcohol profits.

I would be the nose from double dare

Elon is doing this so he can pretend that if someone says “i saw your ex today” he can pretend they were talking about his tweet, change my view

Elon is only changing the name of twitter to X so he has an easy way of changing the subject if someone brings up his ex

My whole post was sarcasm, I hate that people complain about that line exactly because why the fuck would an x-wing pilot know about the mechanisms behind palpatine’s resurrection?

I know, right? Such a fucking stupid line, it’s like nobody ever saw a star war.

Well i did see all every star war, and i’ll tell you what i learned. If a Sith Lord had machinations to be resurrected in the case of his eventual death, the VERY FIRST thing he would do upon the successful completion of that plan is announce that fact to the entire galaxy, and explain to the entire galaxy, especially every random X-Wing pilot fighting for the rebellion, that he is now officially back and here is how he was able to do so.

The Sith do not hide in the shadows. They do not operate in secret. They do not subtly manipulate. They do not lie or deceive. They operate in public, explaining every step of their history and future plan to the entire galaxy. If palpatine were to be resurrected, even fucking jawas and droids could tell you the exact methodology by which he did so.

Anyone who has seen ANY star war would know this. It just wouldn’t make sense in context of the rest of the series, which is well-known for being hard scifi that stays as accurate to the physical universe as possible. To break those rules you’d have to invent some sort of magic or some mystical woowoo made up forces to explain how palpating returned, and god if someone did that i’d just give up on all of the star wars, not just any individual star war.
