    What are the terms that say that? I just want to be sure because every few years I see uproar over misinterpretations of some social site’s terms of service saying “we have the right to modify and redistribute your work”, when all it means is that they can host and make slight modifications to the files you post.



  • -Discovering extraterrestrial life

    -Phasing out of disposable plastics and gasoline vehicles

    -Transferring to clean energy and clean industrial processes whenever applicable

    -More widespread ethical and sustainable farming practices

    -Lab grown organs and/or more efficient artificial body parts

    -Improved healthcare system/healthcare research

    -Better treatments and potentially cures for chronic and/or rare diseases

    -Much longer lifespans I just think we don’t live long enough even with the current best case scenerios lol

    Though some of this would be viable now, if it weren’t for capitalism/politics holding it back so might not entirely count

    I didnt start really using social media until I was 15 (2015) (not including when I briefly used FB when I was 13 and having an account on the official Warrior Cats message boards when I was ~12), but even then it seems like people were a lot more chatty? I feel like I got more positive comments on my shitty art from that time than I sometimes do nowadays.

    And also the fact that so many people nowadays share their full name how they look irl. I’d much rather keep that shit private unless it’s someone I trust and seems especially dangerous nowadays, and now there’s a worrying amount of minors doing it.



  • Granted a lot of the failures with Anthem was thanks to corporate meddling, like EA forcing them to switch to an engine mid development that wasn’t equipped for the game they wanted to make as they insisted on using something in-house, and then forcing them to release it in an unfinished and buggy state. Iirc the devs even cared about the project too, but once again EA ruins something.

    I remember thinking it had some neat gameplay concepts from the footage I saw, it just needed more polishing.





  • The problem is that the widely available tea brands (at least in America) are usually shit, and people not knowing how to make it right and end up using scalding hot water when making green tea or microwaving the water with the bag in. I get my tea from tea shops and use an electric kettle to get the brewing temps right, and now a lot of grocery store teas are disgusting to me.

    I like good coffee too, but when I have it I often feel sick later and the caffeine content sometimes sets off my anxiety.


  • Could depend on the fish species in question? Lionfish for example is extremely invasive in the Southern USA, so environmental agencies have been encouraging people to eat them to curb their population, potentially making it a more ethical choice. I’ve been seeing it pop up more and more, but it doesn’t seem to have caught on too much.

    But we should definetly limit our consumption though when it comes to more threatened/overfished species. There’s also some unethical fishing practices out there such as removing sharks’ fins then stranding them, causing harm to cetaceans, and other environmentally destructive fishing techniques.
