Oh snap, I thought the dab bike design was a concept, cool its gonna actually get made! I hope it’s good!

Ah. I misread the post, I follow what the guy is saying and what your title was about now.

And yeah that’s more or less the basic jist I was getting. Seems like a really dumb thing for people to be upset over.

Did something happen with Godot that caused the lost sponsors…?

Edit: this thread has some discussion if you’re out of the loop like me

Kinda sounds like Godot did pretty much nothing wrong and it’s just a bunch of internet drama? Hard to tell honestly

This is kinda the first reply that really gave me a new angle to think about- multiple in fact. Both “vulnerability to fear tactics”, and “keeping people occupied” are a lot more immediate systemic impacts that can benefit maintaining the status quo than the things that had come to mind for me.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I wouldn’t have had the perspective to consider it from your angle and I appreciate it!

Hope you have a good one :)

Yeah, I guess that feels like the obvious reason. It just feels like there’s gotta be something more immediate and tangible. Maybe there isn’t though 🤷🏻‍♂️

Does anyone know the strategic reason for right wing authoritarians prioritizing people having kids? Like project 2025 talks about it a bunch, but nothing totally clear cut comes to mind as to why. At least not that feels like it fully justifies how clearly important it is, and that isn’t just me dismissing it as meaningless control or whatever. It feels strategically important

In this case it’s clearly important militarily, but that’s also not likely to help in the present conflict in Ukraine. It’ll take a long time for those kids to grow up, but at least they’d help mitigate population loss

She’s not wrong that most foreign terrorist threats the US faces were radicalized by our own political and military involvement in other regions

If you’re using a custom de-googled rom you don’t have the play store, so this would just gut that functionality :/ same for any other app that decides they need this, which if the past is anything to go on is going to be a ton of apps that really don’t need it

Well that fucking sucks

Your username is fitting.

Believe it or not, some people like making casual conversation with other people, even if it’s just idle agreement.

Hope you have a nice day.

Engaging with other people on this small platform makes it feel less empty. There aren’t many people here, so I go out of my way to talk to people instead of just interacting with the number beside their comment or post.

And all they’ll have to show for it is a mediocre pile of garbage

Couldn’t agree more 😅

😮‍💨

You put cured meat in your bits, didn’t you?

This guy pees.

I err on the side of respecting boundaries no matter what unless I’m prepared to sacrifice the relationship because I think helping them in ways they aren’t accepting of is necessary. And even then there are ways I think it’s okay to do that, and ways I don’t, but it’s very contextutal.

That would make sense

Hope you have a lovely day :)

Its not a strawman, that would imply no one was actually advocating for feeding cats a vegan diet, and this post was made up to pretend they did in order to disparage vegans. This post is a reference to someone on Lemmy arguing in favor of vegan diets for cats, and the thread you linked is literally people advocating for and discussing vegan diets for cats.

That being said, if you read the comments you’ll see vegan folks arguing that this is a difficult thing to safely do in practice, and needs oversight and direction from a vet.

Making decisions to feed your pets, who can’t advocate for themselves, things other than what they biologically evolved process as a healthy diet, even if you believe you’ve balanced everything just right, is morally questionable.

Making such a decision about your own diet on moral grounds is an admirable sacrifice and difficult lifestyle change one can be proud of. Choosing to make that sacrifice on behalf of a creature you’re responsible for the health and happiness of is needlessly jeopardizing the wellbeing of that creature. They can’t communicate their needs, and you’re the one responsible for them. Don’t go making questionable choices on their behalf that they’d be powerless to do anything about.
