I’m speaking in historical terms here. By new I mean within the past couple of decades.

If Sync brings more users to Lemmy, that’s a net win for all of us here.
Let’s be honest here. Wanting to be a talking animal isn’t really any less weird than wanting to yiff one.
Trying to distance yourself from the latter by claiming the former is a futile effort.
Sure there’ve been talking animals since humans have been telling stories, but what seems to be new is the rando who’s always there in the comments to say “Yo, I’d totally tap Tigger’s ass”, “That Coyote character is a snack.”
Amen to that. Monoculture is bad, in every context.
The Vulcans have it right: Infinite diversity in infinite combinations.
I definitely notice it with a push mower, but there’s also the issue of the grass blades themselves always being cut in one direction. That’ll produce a noticable effect over time if you don’t vary mowing vector.
But you have to alternate the pattern each time you mow or you’ll get wheel ruts.
Good old “urban renewal”.
You totally misread what I wrote, but thanks for the pointless rant. For a minute there it felt just like being back on reddit.
As an American I’m just assuming that road was moved to be widened and a bunch of low income housing and many blocks worth of historic buildings were demolished in the process.
The Omnibus podcast did a great episode on the Wuppertal Schwebebahn.
Your privilege is showing, mate! Tuck that shit in, nobody wants to see that.
I’d probably just buy a different beer and get on with my life. So long as they’re not using their product to actively promote bigotry in society, there’s no reason for me to care.
The people “trying to make it political” are the ones who want it to go away - ie, the bigots, who somehow always seem to be on the right wing. Everyone else has to push back because failing to do so means bending to the will of the bigots.
If you want it to stop being political, your energy should be directed against conservatives who keep trying to put people into arbitrary boxes and keep them there.
Must be nice to not have to worry about representation.
Most things are better than Bud Light.
All marketing is pandering. This company just saw a huge niche that hadn’t yet been filled and jumped in. You’re not wrong that it’s somewhat exploitative, but all products are to some extent.
If you can show me Roman furry artwork (for a friend who really wants to see it, of course), I’ll withdraw my whole line of comments.
