i see your position and i suggest you also moderate that community
Oh, I really don’t want to, sorry.
- Comment on Request to mod c/conservative 18 hours ago:
To be a conservative is to be tolerant of fascists and Neo-Nazis to some degree
That is unfortunatly the truth for a lot of conservative parties around the world these days, but I don’t agree that one personally has to do that to be a conservative. So I really disagree with that sentiment.
However I do agree that it is a very tricky situation indeed.
- Comment on Request to mod c/conservative 18 hours ago:
I didn’t say you did. But you spend the entire morning spamming the community with memes intended to troll the members, exploiting the fact that it was unmodded and breaking rule 6. That’s not behaviour becoming of a mod anywhere and certainly not in a community which you ideologically oppose.
But hey, not my decision, just providing some background info.

.world c/conservative is unmodded now too! Post all the things they hate!
OPs post history makes it very clear he doesn’t actually want to mod that community in good faith.

Hemorrhoid are like super common, like 50% of people will get them eventually. It’s nothing to be embarrassed about.
I guess you can continue waiting, but I bet eventually the pain will beat out the embarrassment. Just tell them and get help.
- Comment on Do most people still use computers, or do people only use a smartphone as their main/only device? 1 day ago:
My phone is basically a mp3 player that is used for 2FA. And of course for in case you need to communicate when traveling.
But other than that, I’ll use the laptop whenever possible.

You never have to close a browser tab again. If a window is full just minimize it and start a new one!

What are the odds of this happening at a public parking place?
They are actually pretty good. Also I think some of the black ones might be blue.
- Comment on What do you think of anarchism? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, reapeating “you don’t now about anarchism” over and over again is a great argument. (I really mean it, you don’t got much else).
- Comment on What do you think of anarchism? 2 weeks ago:
Of course not. There will always been teenagers or some homeless punks around.
- Comment on What do you think of anarchism? 2 weeks ago:
No, I’m quite aware of what it is … and concluded it to be a terrible idea.

I thought it was quite cool when I was a teenager. Then I grew up.

- Comment on Don't forget where we came from and what shaped us as a species. The Jungle. 2 weeks ago:
Your analogy basically boils down to Descartes’ hypothesis about “animal machines”.
There is a legitimate debate to be had about about the spectrum of consciousness/awareness and where it apparently stops. Most people would agree that mammals and birds are on it. I’ve seen the need for a central nervous system seen pop up a lot, but there is also octopuses, which are highly intelligent without having one. You can even find something that I can only describe as “intelligence” and a decent level of awarness in spiders, best example being the genus Portia. So where does the spectrum really end?
Some plants are capable of some impressive actions, like beansprouts systematically moving and “searching” for stuff to grab on, a lot of plants use pheremonal communications to warn each others of predators … there is good stuff here. So are the just totally of the spectrum of awareness and purley operating on a mechanical level, like a phone? I’m not sure.
The point is, we don’t really know what consciousness is. And while this video is quite dated, I’m not aware of a better take (though it doesn’t really do much in practice).

That makes sense.
But my point was soley about Gorillas not having a purley vegan diet.
- Comment on Don't forget where we came from and what shaped us as a species. The Jungle. 3 weeks ago:
Yes, I’ve read my source. What it says is that Gorillas are NOT purley vegan (which was your statement) while not contradicting anything I said.
Also a lot of grazing herbivours, cows and buffaloes will occational eat small vertabrets. So not being considered “carnivores in the wild” doesn’t realy mean anyhing. You don’t need to be carnivore (or even an omnivore) to not have a “purley vegan” diet.
Which of course makes sense, because animals are opportunistic, not idealistic.
If all of humanity started to “occasionally consume tiny vertebrates and insects” while “primarily consuming plants” by tomorrow, which we could, we’d be way better off. Do you agree?
I certainly wouldn’t, but that wasn’t really the point.
- Comment on Don't forget where we came from and what shaped us as a species. The Jungle. 3 weeks ago:
Please fact check before posting
That’s literally what I just did with this comment.
- Comment on Don't forget where we came from and what shaped us as a species. The Jungle. 3 weeks ago:
Well, the first bullshit here is the word “purely”. That’s not correct. While they indeed have a mainly vegan diet, also opportunistically consume insects and even small mammels.

Modern humans are around 300.000 years old … we’ve only been farming for 10.000 years. Doesn’t quite add up.

Not sure what you mean by “for German use”. The US is very much in charge of every step of the use of shared nuclear weapons. Our pilots get to deliver them, that’s pretty much all of our involvment.
