No kids. They’re a huge, life long commitment that you need to be willing to sacrifice everything for. Your happiness, your sanity, your time, your money… everything.

And I’m not the type of person who wants kids nearly enough to do that.

Especially when people tell me that I should for reasons like having a caretaker when I’m older. I’m not attached to my parents enough to do that. Why would I expect that of anything I pop out? And what a horrible selfish reason to make a new human that is!

If the only reason I’d be having a kid is selfish reasons in the distant future that aren’t even a guarantee, then that’s not worth sacrificing myself for right now.

Nothing against other people who want to be parents, so long as they’re prepared and not doing it as some sort of life insurance or to make a clone of themselves.

The Game is the perfect counter/addition to Loss memes because every time I see a meme of Loss I know I just Loss The Game.

Then I get to say it and make othe people lose the game because of Loss. This makes me smile.

Hold up can you elaborate?

Because I definitely have noticed sometimes getting chip headaches and sometimes not and if it’s time-based I want to know more.

I read the list before the word “Vegetarian” and thought how vegetarian that menu is.

ITT people not recognizing that there’s a difference between comparing and equating.

People, it’s possible to make analogies to more serious situations without saying the two things are equal. The statement above is saying it’s there’s a shared mentality, not a shared level of consequence/seriousness.

uBlock Origin has spoiled me by allowing me to erase the shorts listings. So I don’t even know how bad it is for shorts.

I never saw memes calling out animal ag on that other site outside of confined spaces. Yet on Lemmy they get upvoted in larger communities.

Lemmy is amazing. Keep being the hope for the future, folks. We need it!

Cheats are enabled on my personal Minecraft server because it’s Minecraft and the only one being cheated on is the player’s feeling of accomplishment

I have definitely cheated into spectator when I fell in a 1 block wide hole with 5 villagers I wanted alive.

My siblings hates tedium and cheats a lot of it away.

Ain’t no competition.

Why does it have to be both?

Why do other orientations get to be easy to understand, but the ones that just want to say ‘no’ absolutely must be comfortable in the same label as yet another ’yes’?

What is wrong with having graysexuality and asexuality be as separate as homosexuality and heterosexuality?

Why do people want to force others to be comfortable with what they’re not comfortable with?

Why is it so important to dismiss and erase people who just don’t have a sexuality that it’s acceptable to take over their one safe word and sexualize it?

I genuinely find antisex spaces more welcoming than asexual spaces and I hate that. Because people born without sexuality often don’t care about other people having sex. It’s normal, it’s natural, it’s fine, it’s just not our thing. So why do people insist on sexual themes in a community started to be safe for those who are just born not sexual?

Many of us already feel broken when we don’t get horny as teens. Yes, we’re freaks. We’re weirdos. We’re biological failures.

We create a space to feel not broken. To vent among others born the same. So why take that away? Why take away the one safe term for people who already struggle with feeling like something is wrong with them by coming in and saying that people who DO like sex are the same label and the ones who don’t want sex at all are outsiders among outsiders?

It hurts. It genuinely hurts to finally find others like you, to then be told that no, you’re still a weird broken minority even in this supposedly “fitting” label.

Why is it so important to have a special label that it’s worth hurting the people it was made for to make sure more people can claim it?

On a mental estimate… 15% of the time.

Thanks. I just lost The Game.

I losst The Game before reading this because of the dang image.

Same here. Discord members posting teddit links and one person trying to grow a niche subreddit while I refuse to give Steve Huffman any more free human generated content.

Did you at least kill him yourself? Or did you have to deepthroat Daddy Tyson’s throbbing meaty cock to underpay an immigrant getting PTSD to just to harvest a baby’s organs and pack them in a pwetty wittle gift baggie for you? uwu

If you will buy it, they will sell it.

Corperations are not people. They have no moral compass. They do what their customers will pay for.

Customers are people. Customers can choose based on any criteria. Convenience, morals, pleasure, whatever they value.

You are the customer. By buying from animal agriculture, you are saying you value what they are selling.

Yes, the thousands, millions, billions of customers matter. YOU are a customer. YOU MATTER. And if you choose to value something that is pure evil for all involved except your taste buds and their bottom line, then yes. You share in the blame. Especially now that you know what it causes.

Meat and dairy are heavily subsidized by the government (at least in US). Government subsidies for animal agriculture allow them to sell for cheaper because they can sell for less than what it actually costs to make.

Probably being unable to buy music when I was in my teens.

No job, no income, no way to get to the store anyway, and to top it off… half the music I liked I wouldn’t have been able to find anyways. (Fan songs/parodies)

So I learned that (free) YouTube downloaders and MP3 converters existed.

A bit later than that… NES/SNES games I wanted to play but those consoles were before my time. So I learned emulators existed.

So basically stuff I didn’t have access to otherwise.

Wait tgis is a real car? Wow I thought it was an art project or AI meme

but it doesn’t matter except to you, your friends, and the particular animals you didn’t eat.

Why does the animals’ interest to not be killed not outweigh you and your friends’ desire to end their life and eat their body, instead of plants that give you equal nourishment?

Why is the value of their very life less than the value of your whim?

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.
