Precisely been my take. The way people so passionately argue about voting is infuriating; Yes, it might matter on a tiny scale, but the plane's going down and we're arguing about which drinks steward has the more polite rhetoric - There are infinitely more important things to passionately argue about.
Give people a vote to pretend they have a tiny bit of power and it's wielded as an excuse to never attempt to change or do anything ever.
The issue has always been that you can only cycle on the roads here, and that leads to you getting smushed (most of 'em are 60mph+ to top it off). If we had at least a vaguely complete cycle network, or at least walk paths I could cycle on, I'd be all over it.
You accidentally missed badposting, it's okay I forgive you
Yes, an exceptionally high percentage of sex workers today are wage slaves and worse, coercion is the norm today. But to reduce all porn production to 'unacceptable labor' is not a reasonable conclusion either.
Free of financial coercion, some non-negligible amount of people would still choose to do sex work. Sexuality is a normal, healthy, human trait, and there are plenty healthy ways to engage with it.
That may well be true, but also true of all currencies that are about as useful to Russians as a Macedenonian Denar. The dollar is becoming increasingly useless worldwide.
CTH is main and main is a lie
Enjoyment of stuff is subjective
If only Hamas was repeatedly offering a deal for a ceasefire the freeing of all hostages (including the actual thousands of Gazan hostages in Isntreal).
The indisputable facts of my quite literal origins as a Nazi are being subject to some sort of propaganda campaign!!
NBC really saying "Yes they're Nazis but it's Russia's fault that sounds bad".
Yeah but in the marketplace of ideas, his fictional idea of a poll that says that is making real profits
I wonder how many cis men get turned away for being too feminine
I'm sure it's my own stupidity, but I simply cannot understand how that big donut works. Why is one layer an everything/hexbear/lemmygrad and another is an everything/lemmy.ml tier??? I understand the others, at least, so I promise I'm not too far gone.
I have a couple teacher friends who are exactly like this, frequently. It infuriates me no end.
What really annoys me is the way they just describe both children and parents like they're innately bad people who choose to be bad and angry all the time, as oppose to maybe just being affected by their environment and material conditions.
All boomers know that when they were parents no 16-month ever vomited. No, the real cause is teaching children to deal with their feelings.
This also of course means you can no longer play the game after they take down their servers.
The good post there applies here, we live in a society that causes us to inevitably step on each other and somebody will always end up annoyed. One most common factor being that people are cramped into tiny, poorly separated spaces with no communal areas, where they can hear each other's every sound, because money.
The best we can do to get on in these shitty situations is compromise and recognise it's a dumb arrangement that shouldn't exist to start with.
Never heard of it, but I will now give it a try. Sounds hecka neat
Based on the incredibly vague source from 2017 Taiwan, most likely isn't true either.
I remember those games - They were decent enough, some fun mechanics, but very difficult.
