I like city building games and puzzles. I like other things as well, but that's not important right now.

My fediverse philosophy is that we should avoid emulating the bad and crude aspects of reddit - don't abuse the downvote feature, don't chase 'karma' and don't overuse the word "porn" in subreddit names.

  • Are there any easy ways and methods for actually studying socialist theory and such?

    Jump

  • If you're looking at left wing memes and YT videos by socialists then you're probably a good deal more educated than you realise

    Always look for more thinkers, speakers and ideas you haven't encountered yet.

    Art and music is also important to propogating socialist ideas, i was surpised when studying art in 6th form just how important socialist principles were to so many artists. Final essay ended up kind of political, lol.

  • Stereotyping is wrong.

    1. Fear of making near friends / difficulty making the new friends
    2. Actual naivety of thinking the POS behaviour doesn't matter
    3. Weirdly, peer pressure from other people? For instance you might want to distance yourself from one friend and you are then peer pressured to be in situations with them more often by the other friends, told to build your tolerance of them

    ... 1 + 2 also applies to romantic relationships!

    Edit: just realised 'best friend AND roomate' is just a way of referring to a spouse. But there it is, there's the low-down in my opinion.

  • Yeah i don't want to be a broken record but at times like this the creative banktruptcy of hollywood is really showing. How hard can it be to think up new, original, films? I can do it. Gimme a job!!

    Hollywood is behaving like a high school football player who regales tales of his adolesence 20 years after the fact.

  • isn’t this preferable to just letting the animals just rape each other indiscriminately?

    That's not why people do it though. It is wrong to make up new justifications for actions after the fact. It exists as an industrial process to get animals pregnant more often than they'd naturally choose to.

    isn’t all sex between any two non-human animals rape?

    And no, not all sex between 2 animals is rape. Animals can consent to sex with other members of their species, animals can't consent to sex with other species because of communication differences (the big one being any animal with a human).

    If that’s the case, isn’t this preferable to just letting the animals just rape each other indiscriminately?

    The same way that hunting is more moral than farming, letting animals go at it in a natural way is way better than 1. tricking bulls into ejaculating into tubes and 2. forcibly inseminating cows with that genetic material.

    You need to quantify the rate at which animal rape is occuring to justify using this method on the basis of "preventing rape."

    Also if you sought to prevent any animal rape, you'd have to seperate them all by sex. As far as I know this doesn't generally happen except for their specific breeding season, and it would be cruel to seperate male and female livestock for their entire existence, just as it's cruel to deny them their natural sexual intercourse. Humans aren't supposed to play God with every facet of an animal's life.

  • Veterinary in the sense that "it's a duty a veterinarian might perform do," but in this context it's done to create more animals for us to harvest food from. Because letting them do it at their own rate wasn't fast enough for this industrialised society's appetite.

    It's disingenous to call it a veterinary procedure; we're under no illusions about why this is being done. The cow didn't ask for a bloody sperm donor, lol.

  • idiot

    Don't need to say that

    I think it really depends where you live and what your lifestyle demands of you.

    Where I live, meat is on sale a lot at supermarkets, lots of frozen food meals have meat in, and people might not have time to shop for ingredients or even to cook all the time - which i presume is the key to making veganism cheaper.

    If you want to convicne people veganism is cheaper then you have to unfortunately (for you) "spell it out for them" - e.g give examples of vegan meals against meat meals, tell us where you're shopping.

  • What I don't like about them is that it makes it seem like you've cast your butt in pottery or something, just completely rigidly fixed into that shape. To be fair I also don't find leggings good looking, but they exist also for a functional, exercising purpose, and they're good at that (afaik)
