ITT people not recognizing that there’s a difference between comparing and equating.
People, it’s possible to make analogies to more serious situations without saying the two things are equal. The statement above is saying it’s there’s a shared mentality, not a shared level of consequence/seriousness.
uBlock Origin has spoiled me by allowing me to erase the shorts listings. So I don’t even know how bad it is for shorts.
I never saw memes calling out animal ag on that other site outside of confined spaces. Yet on Lemmy they get upvoted in larger communities.
Lemmy is amazing. Keep being the hope for the future, folks. We need it!
Thanks. I just lost The Game.
I losst The Game before reading this because of the dang image.
Meat and dairy are heavily subsidized by the government (at least in US). Government subsidies for animal agriculture allow them to sell for cheaper because they can sell for less than what it actually costs to make.
Probably being unable to buy music when I was in my teens.
No job, no income, no way to get to the store anyway, and to top it off… half the music I liked I wouldn’t have been able to find anyways. (Fan songs/parodies)
So I learned that (free) YouTube downloaders and MP3 converters existed.
A bit later than that… NES/SNES games I wanted to play but those consoles were before my time. So I learned emulators existed.
So basically stuff I didn’t have access to otherwise.
It’s sad that bACoN means more to people than the very lives of their loved ones on top of all the moral atrocities inherent in animal ag.
The top reason I don’t have hope for the future. People don’t care if the world burns and disease runs rampant if it means they get their tendies right now.
I read the answers before the question and thought “My local Walmart sells RPGs what’s the joke?”
… Thought it meant Role Playing Games. Not firearms.
On Voyager with my sh.itjust.works account with nsfw toggled off and I don’t see any furry or porn.
I am pleased with this.
Individual instances and frontends might have something to do with it. People saying they see a ton of NSFW and have to block so many communities, but at sh.itjust.works on Voyager I haven’t seen any of that.
It’s simultaneously open yet curated at the same time and that’s pretty neat!
Pfp? Well I missed a memo. Seem to be fine without one though since I didn’t even know that was a thing.
Some music I like are fan covers/remixes that may only be on YouTube.
If you’re out of the loop: There was a Dexter’s Lab episode where the titular character could only say “Omelette du fromage” for the whole episode.
If you know that and an extended reference went over my head… oops!
Seen this so many times and glad to keep seeing it.
More people being informed on these scummy practices to look out for and avoid is a good thing.
This is not something I’ve heard of as someone who also doesn’t bother with fast food. Is this like, higher prices during rush hours or something?
Carnism is simply a name of the belief system. For a long time it didn’t have a name, which is something that psychologically helps oppressors not question their own actions.
So it was given a name to help point out that it is, in fact, a belief system. The belief that eating animals and their secretions is normal, natural, and necessary.
Carnism is one hell of a drug. Hope you can escape it soon OP. Good luck.
Same for all the others here still trapped in the beliefs of carnism.
The Game is the perfect counter/addition to Loss memes because every time I see a meme of Loss I know I just Loss The Game.
Then I get to say it and make othe people lose the game because of Loss. This makes me smile.
