- Comment on Ikea is now hiring: Make an hourly wage at its Roblox store 3 weeks ago:
Would be really smart if they so made it so that people are able to order actual products through the virtual store for delivery. Akin to ready player one or snow crash.
Would absolutely need some protections so a kid isn’t just buying a bunch of random stuff but that’s something to be figured out and would help Roblox transition to more than just “a game for kids”

- Comment on Will Shoppers Ever Care About the Destruction of the Planet? Tactics to convince people to buy less aren’t working. A quirky new documentary by Patagonia takes a different approach. 1 month ago:
A counter point worth considering, fossil fuels cars have been seen that way as well, but as electric cars improve and adoption increases, its starting to make a case to reduce the subsiding of the fossil fuels industry. If we also start soliciting our elected officials, it makes the case much stronger.
I’m picking that because it’s already starting to happen and we’re making that a part of the national conversation.
Food would be a slower process simply due to it being a much more ingrained part of a culture, but the same process can work.

This hits on an overall problem I have with a number of communities on Lemmy, so many of them try to attack the person instead of the culture.
One that is sticking in mind are the anti meat eaters. I fully understand and acknowledge that the rate at which we grow cows isn’t a great thing for our environment that someone trying to guilt trip me with that does nothing to my appetite when I want a burger.
A better idea is to attack the culture by helping to make more tasty no meat alternatives available and promoting the shit out of them. More choices will inevitably help to reduce the percentage (and thus the revenue) of the non preferred options selected.
- Comment on Why does the government of the USA stand by the country of Israel? 1 month ago:
This will be one of the few times that having a bible thumping bitch of a step mother will come in handy. That’s definitely a verse but the story of end of days or “The Rapture” goes suchly
The antichrist will return and work to reunite the peoples of the desert, while doing so, they will also rebuild the lost temple of israel and once complete will sit upon the throne at which point the great armies shall unite in the middle east in a furious bloodshed. The antichrist will bring peace to that fight and demand subserience from all man. At that point, the rapture will happen and then the final prophecies shall begin.
For christians, this is seen as a good thing as they will be raptured and the good humans shall live in god’s final kingdom. For any of this to happen, Israel needs to exist.
In short, dogma as fuck.
- Comment on Why does the government of the USA stand by the country of Israel? 1 month ago:
It’s been a stance the US has had since the inception of Israel after ww2. Back then, the US had significantly more christians and christians tend to view jews as important because the bible says israel is where the end of days is supposed to start. After that decline, Israel has been viewed as an important ally for military reasons.

Unfortunate facts of today’s society.

See I fully agree with you. That’s why I don’t care about how google is phrasing things they way they are. End of the day, I want people who have this mental illness (but have self control!) to be able to get the therapy and treatment they need.
Sorry to be a kind of gatekeeper, other people on this comment section choose not to see a difference between having a problem and acting on the problem.

Let me ask you something before I get into a discussion.
Is there a difference to you between someone who is afflicted with pedophilia and someone who acts on those urges?

What’s wrong with you? If someone is doing everything they can to address an issue, attraction to children, and they are not molesting children, why are you making them out as a villain?
They are seeking help with a problem. Give them the help they are asking for.

Yuuuuuuuuuup. I always try to repurpose first instead of tossing. Even tossing for tech is a donation first if I can.
Only thing I don’t love is a case I’ve had forever is an old enough ATX design that I can’t easily fit all the new things in it. I’d love to repurpose it for a desktop for her but I don’t think I’m going to love building things in it if I do.

Do you mean to say we should instate Palestine in charged of the contested area, or a separate nation made up of Israelis and Palestinians?
Reason I ask is the reason the land is contested, the 3 or 4 wars after the formation of Israel where Palestine allowed forced in through the southern pass. After Israel won, they held the land and now guard that pass which is the continuing issue.

I can’t agree with your stance.
I have no tolerance for bigotry, racism, trans hate or any other kind of xenophobic bullshit. If someone wants to hate someone who has done nothing to them, I would love for that person to get fucked.
Too much hate in the world and tolerance of it does nothing to solve the problem.
- Comment on Why was a defederation request post locked deleted and the poster banned? 8 months ago:
I don’t remember seeing that.
What I do remember seeing was quoted statements with links at the end of the quote to the exact comment.
I’ve already seen one person mistake the quotes for actual statements from the user, could it be this was the situation?:
Op made post with the quotes. Commentor A read the post and mistook the quotes for statements Commentor A response as a normal person would “hey stop saying shitty things” Op responds with more negative quoted statements
It feels weird but I’ve seen people be obstinate for no good reason on Lemmy before.
Lemme know what you think since I missed that comment thread.
Also, looks like the ban was updated to a 24 hour ban with a message “stop the hate speech” which I feel adds weight to my recollection of the situation and theory that OP’s post was misread.
- Comment on Why was a defederation request post locked deleted and the poster banned? 8 months ago:
You’re absolutely correct, the thing I take issue with is no matter how nuanced the issue is, they are members of lemmygrad.ml cheering for the deaths of innocent civilians.
No matter what the situation is, that’s really not ok and that’s why the user was making the ask.
