I am against animal agriculture for the same reason I am against sexism, racism, ableism, classism and homophobia.

The circumstances of a creatures birth does not dictate what it is “meant for”, every one deserves to live happy, healthily and with dignity, but some simply want to live.

    It reminds me of the “allies” who insist that in LGBTQIA+ the A stands for ally instead of asexual. Literally replacing a marginalized sexual identity community with being tangential to the larger community.

    While these questions aren’t as bigoted as having “straight pride” events or asking for “white history” month, they see all born of the same fundamental misunderstanding of a given community in context of a larger biased society.







  • I don’t know you, how could I have possibly pre-formed an opinion WITHOUT reading your post? I’m sorry, but that is just ludicrous and a poor deflection.

    Yet also a predictable one based off the responses you gave to those who were forgiving. I’m critical of your actions so somehow unfair and biased, but those saying “That camp police dude is just a wannabe white knight” are applauded. This thread wasn’t a sanity check, it was you fishing for affirmations and apparently that is all you will accept.

    Bottom line, you were removed from a space for saying creepy things to women. You should spend more time reflecting why it was inappropriate than writing threads on how “camp police” went overboard with punishment.


  • I think you’re far too old to be this obtuse. Older men complementing younger women “especially when naked” is always going to be read as sexual. Intentions matter far less than actions, so if you want to insist that you didn’t mean to be creepy, that doesn’t change the reality that what you said to her was exponentially creepy.

    Honestly, this reads less you taking responsibility for your actions and more at venting your frustrations at her and the community for not hearing you out enough. Even though she gave you multiple chances to do exactly that.

    Top to bottom inappropriate behavior.



  • Exactly!

    For the last year I’ve been a primary wheelchair user, I can walk a bit but that only gets me to the bathroom. Since then my weight has become a bit of a problem but I’m already doing the maximum exercise I’m capable of. I have dropped 10 over the last few months just by diet, which is less than I would like but it’s what I can do.

    You cant assume the “mad constraints” is just laziness without knowing the full picture. Either answer the question or scroll on, but its cruel to attack someone over what they can’t do.




  • The two from the 2000s were trainwrecks that my friends and I mocked pretty hard. They had a few fun moments, but even then I knew they were objectively bad movies. Saying that, a 13-14 year old me would’ve been delighted to get those as a gift instead of the LoTR nap inducers.

    But the new one?! Honor Among Thieves? Love it SO much. Goofy barely serious characters with hammy backstories living in a world that has both serious consequences and detailed history. Finally nailed it!

    Wife and I are just about done with our 3rd-ish Baulders Gate 3 run and we are planning on giving it a rewatch soon. :)





  • Nah, this is one more landmark on the eventual enshitifcation of every platform, only happening because as company that is publicly traded. Someone at Reddit HQ realized that they could make more money off new french users than the cost of ads. So then they have a fiduciary duty to do exactly that. Just like the reddit API-ocalypse, the finical benefits data from every redditors mobile being forced to use the official app was determined to be more profitable than those who would be pissed enough to leave.

    Either Lemmy dies or it grows enough to do the same eventually.
