Something is only offensive if you let it have that affect on you.

Pretty sure some or most of the sauropods had long necks to sweep areas without needing to love their bodies as far for each bite, similar to swans and geese and other long necked birds. Some likely did it for height, like the Brachiosaurus, but their body structure is more upright like a giraffe. Diplodicus and others were more horizontal.
- Comment on Is cryptocurrency good for anything? 2 days ago:
A currency backed by a government has a very high chance of being able to be used at any time with a mostly stable value. Sure, if the government collapses it can become worthless, but on a worldwide scale that is far, far less likely and you will most likely know if it is headed that way ahead of time.
Governments add a bit of stability for currency used as currency and not as speculation.

So it is digital cash without the backing of a government and no stability.

The benefit I have seen in smaller communities is that it reduces dogpiling and ‘me too!’ redundant comments although at a trade for the negatives you mentioned.
- Comment on Me watching someone on Lemmy getting cooked for having the same opinion as me: 2 days ago:
Niche forums with small communities tend to be best, and a lot less toxic.
This has a lot more to do with small self selecting groups to already be on the same page and know each other enough to give each other the benefit of the doubt that they are discussing in other good faith. Not always true, but far more likely simply by being a smaller group
Reddit and other threaded formats allow for easier replies in large groups, which does mean that is less likely and it is more likely to argue with as random user with a significant lack of trust.

The name was confusing!
- Comment on What was the first game you ever bought ? 3 days ago:
Can’t remember if I purchased it or asked for it, but it is the first game that was just for me on the PC and would have been in my early teens. Wanted it as a computer version of the tabletop Battletech game that I was introduced to by a friend’s older brother.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BattleTech:_The_Crescent_Hawk%27s_Revenge
The play speed was tied to the CPU speed, so when we upgraded the family computer a couple years later all the movement happened at ludicrous speeds! Good thing it was turn based.
BATTLETECH 2019 was like a modern version which was pretty awesome and hit all the nostalgia buttons!
- Comment on Trump in 2029 after removing the 22nd Amendment, watching Obama run again 3 days ago:
What conservstives are really good at is injecting something that doesn’t exist like ‘consecutive’ in the number of terms so that people argue about it as if it is actually important. I was being cheeky, you are validating their bullshit by acting like it matters.
- Comment on Trump in 2029 after removing the 22nd Amendment, watching Obama run again 3 days ago:
No, three consecutive terms would be more than two consecutive terms.
- Comment on Trump in 2029 after removing the 22nd Amendment, watching Obama run again 3 days ago:
You are blaming Obama for Republican’s loudly announced policy of obstructing literally everything Obama tried to do including voting against their own Republican bills if Obama agreed.
- Comment on Trump in 2029 after removing the 22nd Amendment, watching Obama run again 3 days ago:
Right, and he wouldn’t have a third consecutive term so everything is peachy.

- Comment on What's the deal with people liking old devices? 5 days ago:
Depending on the age of the hardware it is likely to have more resources for documentation, be easier to physically modify, and often more examples of other people messing with it to use for inspiration. Then there is the affordability factor, where a lot of older tech can be found cheap or very free.
For example, old alarm clocks are easily opened with a screwdriver, simple enough to repair or modify, and there are often scanned user and tech manuals online. Plus they are common to find really cheap as people replace them with more modern disposable ones.
PCs are similar, I had fun monkeying around with an old 486 when I was gaming on a more modern AMD build because running Linux on something that couldn’t handle modern windows was fun! Plus it was easier to know what was what and not worrying about breaking my primary rig meant tinkering and trying things out wasn’t a worry.
Gender identity doesn’t really play into it.

1 Trick question, for a black and white color projecting televisions white is all colors and black is the absence of color but the naming convention is more about the range of possible colors than technical accuracy.
2 The particles and microbes in the air land on the towel and adding moisture promotes bacterial growth, so even if you exfoliate it will get dirty just by existing in a moist environment. Or you dodn’t wash well enough.
3 Generally yes, because their care is going to be more scrutinized due to the perception of a conflict of interest.

There are food safety considerations, but feeding pigs with waste food is a practice. Like food that stores throw out shortly after their expiration.
