These are the same people mad at “woke” games for not having white charcters. Their enormous amount of privliage has made them utterly blind to history or context.

I hate it here. 🙃

(as is most biologists) that we are omnivores.

No vegans dispute this. In fact that is a large reason we point that meat is not a necessity to a healthy diet like many claim.

But fundamentally I’m not here to talk about veganism. You are entitled to your own beliefs, I only wanted to provide a complete answer to the “hypocritical vegans” comment that appears in every thread paints feeling pain. While I personally think deciding that things are most “humane” when they are “efficient” for you regardless of the effect it has on others is selfish and motivated reasoning, thus unethical. But this thread nor community is a place to discuss ethics, I clearly illuminated why equating plant rights and animal rights is silly, so frankly I would just like to end the discussion there. Thanks.

If you think pigs, chickens and cows have the same level of awareness and perception as broccoli, tomatoes or potatoes than you’re the potato.

Humans have to eat and with the exception of a few minerals like salt, everything edible to humans is alive on some level. Vegansisn is making an ethical choice about reducing what causes the most pain fear and suffering in another. If I were to develop cancer, a tape worm or a virus should I also allow those living things to thrive as well or does “Uh, now what?” also apply to antibiotics?

Oh… sure, okay, done! My streak will remain at 0.

This was the easiest picket line not to cross.

It’s not hard to find a common thread in all Middle Eastern countries…

Sweetie, this was my point. Your link proves my point.

Please calm down and actually try to absorb what I’m telling you. This is basic history IF you care to learn it. I know it’s easy to fall in to xenophobia but the world is more complicated than just saying certain groups are universally evil.

It’s the US fault that Islamic extremists are the goverment.

I thought Islam was the religion of peace?

Most Christians are peaceful, but if an outside country destabilized the US democratic and republican party then placed the KKK in power, their version of Christianity would be what America lives under. Exactly as it happened in various middile eastern countries.

This isn’t a consisparcy or anything, it’s basic history of the region freely available on Wikipedia. Saying anything else is just ignorance.

The Iranian revolution (where fundamentalist Islam / Sharia took over the country) was a direct fallout from the Shah, (the US puppet dictator) losing power after exploiting his country for US interests (cheap oil) for nearly four decades. He died in exile while everyone in Iran accused each other of being secretly western puppets and then naturally the religious traditionalist were above these accusations.

This isn’t a conspiracy theroy or anything, it’s all extremely on the record but so few Americans know or give a shit. Simmiliar story everywhere in the region. Religious fundamentalist extremism wasn’t the norm for the longest time until US intervention.

Dude even brought in some poor Tesla engineers to review it. 😂

Google would therefore have to find more money than exists on Earth to pay Moscow

Well to be fair, I do think it’s plausible that one day Google will indeed control all the money in the world.

But they weren’t talking with Musk, of course.

😆😆😆😆😆

I’m nerdy enough to use bitwarden but not nerdy enough to truly understand this.

Can someone explain it like I’m 5?

Look gorg Gorg! Very cute and casual.

Happy birthday gorg!

I just finished playing it for the first time and I was blown away right from the start! Guess I’m glad I waited for the polish, but the world design, voice acting and overall storyline was absolutely fantastic. I couldn’t help feel bad for all the artists that clearly put a lot of love in to the world only to be overshadowed by bugs and poor implementation.

Well, paying $5 so you don’t have to open a website sounds like a waste to me, even if $5 is a small amount to you. But it’s your money, so you do you I guess. Thanks for the clarification.

Respectfully, I’m honestly confused by this why are you paying any amount of money for wallpapers? I’ve never had an issue finding high quality images for my devices, phone or desktop. What exactly is the service doing that makes paying $5 the easier option?

where no form of real world politics

Oh fuck off, queer people aren’t politics. It’s literally just humans existing, but since some bigots want to limit their rights you call it political. This is the same exact thought process of asking “the Jewish question”.

never cared what the main protagonist is like

And yet here you are saying a bunch of dumb stuff about devs pushing things in. You can’t have it both ways.

it’s a game that doesn’t pander to LGBTQ

🙄

Yeah, that’s not a thing.

“Many folks voting with feelings will just simply refuse to patronize my business because of my support.”

Nah, it’s more having standards.

If y’all are okay with fascism then I am not okay with y’all.

I’m thankful my father was so insistent on teaching me to type properly. At the time I was super annoyed at him putting a cardboard cutout over the keyboard so I couldn’t see keys. But touch typing has been a boon ever since, I doubt dad was prepping me for typing quickly mid-game but it sure is nice!
