I wish I had your faith in humanity. Yep there are people that would burn more out of spite. And even more that would elect people being for moderate or no climate action.

I like it sometimes. The temporary pain is stress relieving for me. It’s not about the flavor anymore then.

Having done extreme spice multiple times you start to taste the flavors again btw.

Also if it’s not your thing why would you want to love them? I don’t think anyone should need to justify not liking some food.

I’m actually quite interested in dress history. I’m an engineer at heart and clothing is fundamentally also an engineering problem (and design of course). It’s an area of engineering that was always dominated by women and you can sometimes see the novel approaches that brings.

For example historical corsets were actually quite comfortable when fitted right. One reason why is actually breast support. Predecessors to the modern Bra did exist but were not in fashion as a more compressed looking bust and later a shaped silhouette was in fashion.

Also it’s cool what tricks one can use to form the silhouette without extremely compressing the waist (which is how many modern people often think is the function of a corset).

Welcome to the world of B2B where 98% of products are listed nowhere and of those products you get a listing the price is either hidden or not the price anyone really pays.

Hmmm, ok what if the biters the critters themselves are stupid drones but the nests are sentient. Maybe the biters are like white blood cells part of the natural defenses of the nests. Something the “Brain” cannot control directly.

I am not saying this is the case or the developers thought that but it certainly is a possibility.

Sure sounds like something a colonizer would say.

I first wanted to “/s” this but it’s literally the reasons some colonizers used to justify atrocities. Btw it’s canon that the factorio guy is evil as confirmed by the developers.

I get it in the game there is no way of confirming or even researching the sentients of the bugs but be honest was it your first instinct to check if they are? I sure as hell didn’t. I mean they attacked me first, right?..right?! (Until you realize that you are killing them with your pollution)

I love that game design, even the music plays a role. Iirc it was designed a bit eerie as if something is wrong.

There are many ways of being evil, petting the dog does not make a truly evil character less evil.

A lot of real life evil people actually like animals at least when it suits them in my experience.

A bit off topic but there are games where you are absolutely evil but it’s not easily recognizable. For example factorio.

Most people consider themselves not evil.

Source on that? As far as I know China stopped importing plastic waste as they realized it was too expensive for the state as they are burdened with the externalities, i.e. cleanup.

I think you got wooshed

I mean I wasn’t really serious as we are in a shit post community right now.

But do you realize how fucking hard it is to keep US politics out of your experience here? So many seemingly unrelated communities post election bullshit it’s not even funny :/

I do think that the next presidential US election is important not only for Americans but the world. Although it really is tiring to watch from over here and I can only imagine how tired most Americans must be…

I would love not knowing about any debate but lemmy is like: Nope you’ll read American “news” if you want to or not.

So next time keep your national humiliation fetish private please

Do yourself the favor and upgrade to mpv

Don’t discriminate against them milkers!

This is waterfall method propaganda! It never works out this smoothly. They probably forgot important requirements like: the astronauts need to be alive on Mars.

Treating it like being sick (like a cold) helps me. That way I justify taking it slow. It’s something that will pass and it’s totally normal to feel really bad. It will probably be better soon but I need a lot of rest/self-care.

We are the Pinnacle of creation! Nothing can be better than us by definition! Even the thought that a mere complex computer can be a person is heresy and absurd and can only be answered by ridicule and mockery. /s

Unfortunately a lot of professional philosophers think a bit like the above :(

Well shit I’ve one for professional work and one for open source / bad code practice experiments… Am I in trouble?!

For the record I did not down vote but I can see how people dislike this kind of over enthusiasm for drugs still in trial. Many people got burned before by false hope :(

It isn’t?! I was sure it’s engineer girl
