Humans are traditionally endurance hunters, running things down.
This should have prevented run-away belly fat storage like that.

The idea of being perfectly ethical or finding companies that are, is futile. But I was just talking about avoiding the big techno-fascist billionaire linked ones (there’s really not that many of them).
We should start from there. Start with the premise that there are more ethical companies, and less ethical companies - rather than looking for “ethical consumption under Capitalism”… If you start off with such an ideal goal and no one is going to bother.
Can we all just avoid the big shitty ones.

So many people out there still use Instagram, amazon, reddit, and PayPal regularly. It’s like they aren’t connecting the dots.

Do an hour of aerobic exercise a day. You’ll have more energy once it becomes a habit.

Yeah, but you’ve gotta find one, put a handle on it… Do the digging around with it, then have the actual sex afterwards. It’s a whole deal - takes most of a day.

Honestly before the Haber Bosch process gave people abundant fertilizers, and hence endless foods, and hence the ability for endless population growth.
Today’s news of a bacteria that harvests nitrogen from the air to fertilize soil is much the same thing.
UNFORTUNATELY we do not treat each other more kindly the more of us there are. An only child gets more attention and resources than siblings, it’s easier to succeed and stand out in smaller population, easier to be lost, criminalized and dehumanized in larger population.

Poop deck, from the french puppis, meaning stern… Aka the back part of a ship.

Want some popcorn post-yuri trans step-dad who has transitioned to being step-mom and become pregnant but still has an enchanted penis that’s only satisfied by shrinking and (vor) consuming me, your teen step-son who is actually a 300 year old anime girl? Hmmm?
- Comment on Comedian’s visa sabotaged, war crimes suspects cheered through 2 weeks ago:
The State Premier for NSW, Chris Minns is very happily in bed with rightwing Israeli forces. Importing foreign state actors (last month is was a bunch of athletes).
This is because whilst being from the nominally leftwing Labor party, he’s from it’s rightwing faction.
- Comment on Brace yourself... for beans! 2 weeks ago:
Some posters on Lemmy periodically try to manufacture a meme/viral moment. But rather than expressing something of the communities character, or being interesting it’s just a “this week we’re posting bananas” type shit.
It’s like when a corporation wants to get in the news but isn’t creative or in touch enough.
- Comment on Brace yourself... for beans! 2 weeks ago:
The manufactured “har har Lemmy is trying to meme” crap just makes me close the app and walk away.

That’s kind of the point of Poe’s law…
It was a weak sense of parody. Like what are they parodying? That drug and fast food ads exist? We live in an age of Trumpism… People wearing gold diapers… You think I’m flinch at ads for drugs and meat?
There’s no play or even pushing of limits there. There’s no spice.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, and there’s some swamp area stuff in this clip - but I don’t think that’s a very wide net of parody.
I think you’re right. It will be A+ gameplay and detail. Switching between feelings of tension, panic, and business. And no doubt there’s cops to escape.
Watch Dogs had some of that. It didn’t sell it though. GTA5 exploded in popularity because the media were baited into talking about it, GTA6 feels like a mature game in a genre defined by GTA5. That fine, enough for most people. Cops and Robbers is a fun enough genre for most people.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Isn’t that the premise of every cop/drug movie ever?
I kind of expected a game where you shifted between comedic versions of the current cast of social characters there are in American society today. Parodying all sides of poverty/wealth, woke and Nazis, Q-pilled Grandmas with guns, Tech Billionaires and fascists, gen-Z and gen Alpha and aging millennials… Hit us all up and make fun of it all.
I’m betting there’s no ICE deportations, flock cameras, or AI bros in the script.
Rockstar used to be a British company parodying America… Now they’re an American company, contributing to America’s corporate politics. That’s probably why this feels… Under done.

Yes, the deug one cut off early… The fast food one fwlt like society has already passed that level. Like, it it was on TV I would accept it as a marketing campaign.
People IRL know where meat comes from. It wasn’t like “hunt your own burger” - or “Now with the special cannibal beef”… It was Poe’s law, nothing signalling extreme parody.
…they just felt like, ads.

Watching this makes it feel like Reacher, the video game.

Now introducing our main character: Generic white guy!
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Point to the spicy yet endearing character… Because I didn’t see any. Saw some stiff cop stand-ins though.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Characters, location, even scenarios seem generic as fuck. Lacking the spice that GTA5 had.
Seems like the writing has done the classic error of not endearing anyone to the viewer.

Still, really cool that your work is paying for your education. This will look GREAT on your resume.

Okay fine, put a big masculine poster of a muscled up Satan with hot abs and cum gutters and pretend that’s straight.
Maybe some dumb bells in the corner.
