Is it okay to support Ukraine shooting Russians?

Violence is inherent in our systems. Violence is inherent in politics. States are literally founded and upheld through violence (the military and the police). Believing anything else is just closing your eyes to the violence that happens every single day, and making you powerless against injustice.

i didnt fuck my cat. i didnt cum on my cat. i didnt put my dick anywhere near my cat. Ive never done anything weird with my cats.

Or the French revolution, for that matter

What if it’s impossible to leverage it without falling into a cyberpunk dystopia?

Not entirely true, there is the thermoelectric generator too. Though it’s not very practical

Genuine question, what’s wrong with stock footage? What else should they use?

Deadlock isn’t as bad but god, the amount of racist, bigoted, and straight up fucked up things people have said are tiring and enough for me to never want to be on a mic

There’s only so many times you bother listening to someone yelling at their teammates, throwing out slurs, or even telling people

Before you just start considering perma muting everyone

I presume it’s due to African American Vernacular English (AAVE), there is a cultural aspect there that is detectable through voice

I’m just really tired of telling people about the obvious, and every time history keeps repeating

I don’t believe it’s just convenience, it’s as you said, people don’t care about the long term. In anything.

A big corporate platform (or whatever else, like, say, oil companies vs climate protesters) will always have more resources, whether it’s for development or marketing, so people will always have to be a bit willing to not have full convenience for a better world

If we don’t think about the long term, what are we even thinking of instead?

That’s the ironic thing about it. Because they’re so safe it becomes completely bland… basically all bit ensuring it won’t be as successfully anyway

They’re being so safe it’s unsafe

I mean, the thing that people watch twitch for is mainly the person/people on the stream, the game is a backdrop, rarely the actual focus

And not everyone is ego-centric like you’re saying? I mean, there’s literally tens of thousands of streamers. Don’t just look at the biggest ones that probably mainly appeal to kids, i.e. a different audience than you. Chances are the kind of people you would enjoy watching are just smaller and more niche

Okay then, hope people won’t complain when things go to shit again

Just forever on march towards the inevitable due to convenience

Until you need to verify if the computer understood and solved the problem properly

It’s like, sure, a calculator can help you solve equations… but what is the proper equation for the situation?

A place where you won’t get sick, at a minimum

I can’t even get them to use mastodon or Lemmy, they’re not gonna go to an alternative discord

Okay, great, now convince 30+ other people I chat with on the service

Yes I know it sucks and will just keep on enshittifying, but it’s not so much as it being a replaceable social media for me, as it is a primary way for me to keep in contact with partners, friends, finding out about and participating in arrangements, and meeting new people in my local area. Stopping using discord is effectively cutting myself off from the local communities

Everyone in my social circle uses it, and will keep on using it. Maybe once some breaking point is reached due to ever increasing enshittification people will start being interested in alternatives, but we’re far from that point still

I do

I assume a cat will leave if it’s starting to burn

…but maybe I put too much faith in those goofballs

Well, here’s another question then, is cuddling sexual? Most people would say no, though it fits that definition

In addition, for me one of the sexual activities I enjoy the most is basically described as “horny cuddling”, but that’s also something people have different perceptions of

It’s really not as straightforward to define and put down an all-encompassing definition as you might think. Especially when you want to include different people’s preferences, experiences, and opinions

A lot of people do

Hell, I’ve heard plenty people say that oral sex isn’t sex

I don’t think the person is arguing that, they are saying that it depends on your definition of sexual
