Whatever your beliefs are, we should all agree that nobody deserves to suffer. Even people who have done terrible things, I wish for them to be swiftly and mercifully removed from power or brought to justice with minimal suffering.
Most people in Ukraine are just powerless nobodies going about their lives. They don’t deserve to be subjected to a war. They have no real choice in how that war is waged, or if it is at all.
If anyone deserves comeuppance, it’s the ruling class who actually choose to let these events play out.

I dunno, I think most vegans are probably just buying the same fruit and veg as the rest of us, just choosing to not buy meat. For sure some waste products from the animal agriculture industry will be involved in their lives, but I think those waste products probably wouldn’t be used if it wasn’t for the much more profitable industry that existed to fill the demand for meat, dairy, fish, etc. so even if vegans did use waste products of animal agriculture it’s not really a gotcha, really, in my opinion

I assume you’re talking about manure, but I think industrially-made fertilizers made from hydrocarbons/phosphor/potash are way, way more common, no?

I just had a thought, do they still put a shitload of antibiotics into animal feeds on factory farms? Doesn’t that contribute to antibiotic resistance?

Garry’s Mod is genuinely a pretty good idea, might give that a shot!

I’ve been playing through Return to Castle Wolfenstein which does go some way towards scratching that itch, ideally I’d like to have something set in a bit more of a modern era though… with that said, are the newer Wolfenstein games worth playing?

Calling Labour and/or US Democrats “captured opposition” takes away their complicity and agency.
They are just both right wing parties which do not represent your interests, and they never will.
Politics is a dead end. The only true change we will see in this world will come from revolution.

Actually, it’s stupider, the original meth subreddit made rules against posting images of drug use because reddit admins were breathing down their necks, some of the userbase deemed that censorship to be communist because something something 1984. Except, obviously, it was done because advertisers don’t want to advertise next to drug use. So it’s literally classic Americans calling the negative consequences of capitalism communism
- Comment on London venue ‘appalled’ after antisemitic imagery allegedly screened at Primal Scream gig 1 month ago:
it sounds a lot more like you’re the one letting israel direct your messaging than literally anyone else involved
i literally don’t give a shit what israel cries about, if I see something is from an israeli source, i reduce the amount of confidence i have in it by 99%. if i hear that something is anti-semitic, that means I need to check if it’s really anti-semitic or if it’s just thinly-veiled bullshit again. if I’m too busy, I just assume it’s bullshit.
honestly, if nothing else, it’s free press, and it might make some zionists wonder why everyone is calling them genocidal and comparing them to nazis
anyways, wishing israel a very dissolved and a happy new execution for war crimes for their state

I’m a mobility scooter user - don’t feel bad for us, these devices are incredibly liberating, in a really life-changing way.
Movies and stuff love to show disabled people as unhappy to be “stuck in a chair” but in the real world most disabled people are very thankful for their assistive technology because the alternative is never going anywhere or doing anything.

- Comment on Do you cheat in video games? 1 month ago:
I consider cheat codes to be an accessibility tool for disabled gamers, and I think it is really sad that they are far less common than they once were, and it’s even sadder to see some devs/publishers (Ubisoft comes to mind) try to monetize cheat codes.

- Comment on Hi, Jeffrey! 2 months ago:
You think having a government offers any form of protection against aggressive militarism?
If anything, it makes wars and invasions more appealing - if the infrastructure of control and oppression, the police, the military, the courts, etc. are all there, all they need to do is seize those levers of power.
If that infrastructure does not exist and a population is hostile to your attempts to impose it, you would effectively stand no chance against a determined resistance. There are no major military targets, no leaders to assassinate, no positions of power to leverage. They would need to keep boots on the ground to maintain power. And those soldiers, while constantly stationed in hostile territory, can’t do anything else and would constantly find themselves under attack by decentralized militia forces - there would be very little hope for holding such territory, and as soon as the occupying force left, anarchy, and therefore peace and order, could once again be restored.
- Comment on Hi, Jeffrey! 2 months ago:
Because it is. Politics in all democracies is that way, the US is just letting the mask slip a little.
It’s always been ruling class vs. the rest of us. Who the ruling class are changes and the means of oppression changes but the structure of rulers oppressing those beneath them has been constant all the way back to neolithic humans.

we have to have a government
Citation needed. I completely disagree.
This reminds me of Always Sunny in Philadelphia. We don’t need to pick someone to “be in charge” to get shit done.

do you think for a moment that i am reading more than 15% of your messages? you are so fucking beneath my intellect i don’t even need to try. you defended your fanboyism of noted misogynist thunderf00t by trying to debate me about feminism. it is honestly the most pathetic shit i’ve ever seen. fuck off back to reddit.
- Comment on Musk shares post that Hitler didn’t kill millions, public workers did. Union rages 10 months ago:
telling people to do their own research isn’t citing academic research lmfao
you are a total fucking joke, you have SO much to learn and you’re trying to lecture someone so far out of your league.
such a peak reddit moment. can’t imagine for a second that you might not be the smartest guy in the room.
- Comment on Musk shares post that Hitler didn’t kill millions, public workers did. Union rages 10 months ago:
yeah fuck off, i am not lowering myself to debate feminism with anyone who is a selr-confessed fan of the author of the feminism vs facts video series… get a fucking grip on reality.
- Comment on Musk shares post that Hitler didn’t kill millions, public workers did. Union rages 10 months ago:
jesus fucking CHRIST you have some baggage here, huh?
putting anita and elon into the same category is literally one of the most delusional takes i have ever heard. you do realize that one of those people is one of the wealthiest living people in the world, a nazi, who bought a social media platform because he was so desperate for approval he decided to buy it…
and you’re comparing that to some fucking totally random popular feminist who made literally a baby’s first feminist analysis video series???
anita wasn’t trying to solve every feminist issue in the world, you realize? she wanted to make the videos she wanted to make.
anita’s videos didn’t bully or harass anyone, they didn’t go on and on about how men demand respect because of their genitals, they didn’t personally target anyone. they did a very introductory analysis into feminist theory for media criticism.
thunderf00t’s average video is significantly worse than the worst thing anita ever did.
also, why the fuck would i lie about being from europe… you’re just wrong and you want to jump to conclusions…
- Comment on Musk shares post that Hitler didn’t kill millions, public workers did. Union rages 10 months ago:
i’m european, i used to be a fan of thunderf00t too. but he became really really bad, he was an alt-right troll for awhile, and only really split from the rest of the pack because they didn’t agree with him about brexit.
he is a pathetic, ignorant, quote-mining bigot who should be completely forgotten. being right about elon musk is a stopped clock being right twice a day situation. there are plenty of other channels which did a far better job of pointing out elon’s grifts without also posting 3,000 videos about how anita sarkeezian is the anti-christ
