Mean leftist who believes in magic genders
Not OP, but for me it was realising I was dronegender. I could either be an atheist whose identity was valid but not “real” as I conceived it, or I could embrace a religion that said my identity was achievable. That said mind melding with a swarm was possible and I could be who I am in a physical sense and not just a personal one.
Also I met a god. She’s nice.
It’s so cute how Americans think a car with a bed is a truck. Sure buddy, that’s a truck.
If I were you, I’d skip the 5 xbox just as an insult to that game’s writing.
I don’t think it’s that people like being mad. I think it’s that they just care about things and think they’re important. It’s very nice to be able to be carefree, but a lot of people place things like honour or duty or morality above their own happiness at times.
If you get banned from one instance with any level of drama, the admins will gossip about you to their friends who admin other instances. Then you’re banned from two to three instances, and the next time you get into any kind of debate or disagreement, “ah, I see you were banned by three different instances, you must be a troublemaker.” Before long the situation is, “I see that a dozen instances all completely independently decided to ban you. You must be a piece of shit.” ONE person can get you kicked off most of the fediverse because of the level of trust and respect for authority there is here.
Anyway, ACAB.
What if there’s no reason for it to pull away?
Humans can’t act outside their programming. You can’t hold your breath until you die.
Well, it’s less of them, and at least they’re risking their own lives too. If there’s an accident I want the person responsible coming with me to the hospital. That might not be rational, but it’s how I feel.
Excellent point. The Netherlands is doing some things right, but not everything.
Sounds like the Netherlands is doing things right.
Another weird quirk too is that common military rank terms like “captain” and “lieutenant” don’t line up between the Navy and the others (at least in the US). So the OG Star Trek guys would be Colonel Kirk and Captain Uhura under Air Force terminology, and that just sounds weird
Colonel O’Neill and Captain Carter
Halo has the UNSC Navy, the UNSC Marines, and the UNSC Army working together in space.
I don’t really think the sexual violence rates in the furry community are higher than in the general community. There’s just more awareness of what consent is. I mean I could say “look at r/jailbait, straight people have a pedophile problem”, and I’d be right, but only because society has a pedophile problem.
For thousands of years, people walked on roads. That’s what they were for. They were also for horses, donkeys, and carts, but humans were a big part of it. And none of those four things really goes faster than a bike. Cars are new. Taking people and horses off roads is new. Being able to drive the speed limit is a new, temporary condition, and it can be taken away at any time. Blaming this on cyclists is a reaction based on a misunderstanding of what roads are for. Personally, I support legislature to let people walk on the road however they like again.
AI. In the real world, AI is any computer process that can make decisions as if it were smart. Expert systems, genetic algorithms, hell even fuzzy logic. A smart lightbulb is artificially smart. Artificially intelligent.
In movies and bad tech blogs, AI means a sapient machine and that’s why LLMs aren’t actually AI.
“Unga bunga me invent new process for food. It called cooking. Make less parasites in meat. Very good.”
“Cooking bad, garg. We no want processed food.”
None of the furries I am friends with tolerate Nazis
…anymore
MOST of the furries I am friends with did not ever tolerate Nazis
TBH I do know someone who has a “not checking if the character they’re posting porn of is underage” problem, and I’ve actually only seen them do it with human characters, though they have no special preference between humans and anthros.
There’s absolutely no reason to hate on a cyclist when you wouldn’t hate on a car polluter, because unlike car polluters, we aren’t murderers.
I need magic in order to feel like myself. I couldn’t keep being an atheist once I started using magic.
