And yet, it has proven to be an adaptation that has greatly increased their success as a species. In the end, it doesn’t matter to the plant whether it is eaten or not as long as it gets to reproduce - and we’ve spread it around the world.

Even their names sound evil

I think it’s more about tribalism. I have seen both good and bad takes on both .ml and .world. I think Lemmy is slowly losing the civil conversations that could be had here before.

I’m from Eastern Europe and not even the hardcore communists here are in favour of Russia’s war of aggression. In fact, the only ones in support of closer ties with a nation that has consistently fucked us over are the neo-nazis who want communion with the Russian Orthodox Church.

It’s mental to see anyone on the left supporting Russia.

That’s very interesting to me (I am a bit mathematically illiterate when it comes to probability). Wouldn’t it still have a lower chance of being a 1 if you said you want your second roll to be the one that counts beforehand? Or would different permutations screw with the odds, say rolling a 12 then a 1, rolling a 15 and a 1, etc, counting towards unfavourable possibilities and bringing it back to 1/20?

Look up Blockada on F-Droid, it will save you from those. I think it also has a Google Play version, but I can’t vouch for that one working as intended

I would like my Military-Industrial Complex that bombs schools and hospitals to come in pink, please.

I mean, depending on the price of the car, the discount could very well be worth it, regardless of how much money you already have.

AI can at least reliably be used for protein folding research - this dude, on the other hand…

Maybe you will simply know that it is impossible to retrieve them

You will, of course, pay a monthly subscription for your transmission to each wheel as well as for the breaks and if you say anything mean about the US online you will be in breach of TOS and the car will brick itself.

“20 Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property."

Exodus 21:20-21

Don’t forget the AMOC shutting down and sending most of Europe spiralling into the opposite problem as the rest of the world boils!

Agreed for wow, but for Runescape, many of the quests are just so arcane that I never in a million years would have guessed what to do for them

I am out of the loop, what are you referring to?

No, we are not over capacity for survival. We waste a ton of water on stuff we don’t need, like having lawns in the desert or choosing to grow almonds during droughts when people have to ration water usage at home. . Top soil is the same, we could, collectively, switch from beef and to a lesser extent pork to focus on much more efficient chicken, thus freeing a lot of land used to feed livestock.

Stop this Malthusian nonsense, we have enough resources for everyone. They are just severely mismanaged to the point of killing us all. We could live sustainably if we wanted to, we just choose not to.

No, they are. Everything that lies outside of my narrow-minded and ignorant view of how attraction should work is bad and you should be ashamed!

Even if most every day people would lower their carbon footprint as much as possible, corporations would simply say “Neat, we can pollute more, we’re within target emissions”, and they would

Everything ends, nothing matters. Be happy for the little things and don’t screw it up for others

Fair enough, I can’t argue with that. Language shifts and evolves I suppose, but it still seems problematic to me that the people (not you specifically) change the way they speak to suit an algorithm and not the other way around.

And that’s not even mentioning the fact that many people are perfectly alright with using “unalive” and “delete” instead of “kill” or “die” but can’t bring themselves to use trans inclusive language, for example. Again, not refering to you with this, you were just the unfortunate person to receive my albeit unwanted rant.
