I need a hug. We live in such a depressing world sometimes.

Makes me really sad. I used to listen to a lot of their music.

That’s a good question. I didn’t think of that.

I hope so. AI is known for regurgitating its own creations right?

Be free friends, be free!

Glad it’s fake and respect the detective work.

Vegans fight amongst themselves all the time, and plenty of them have different rules.

For example, veganism doesn’t extend just towards diet but animal products overall. A lot of people will only focus on the diet or certain animal products such as leather though.

Really wish people would just agree to do whatever they can, anything helps.

It’s 2026. Who doesn’t have a lock on their phone?

I’ve never tried to convince anyone to take up veganism. Instead I avoid bringing it up at all cost because people get weird about it.

If that’s what it takes to get regulation for them I suppose.

Not even Europe is safe. There was an assault at a pride event in Germany slightly over a month ago.

Trying to be open minded and accept people who are willing to change their views here, but it is very, very hard not to be bitter.

It’s also very hard to believe that people can change at all.

Yeah it’s difficult convincing people due to sunken cost.

You could be chatting on a better platform that offers everything discord offers for free but you’d have to convince your friends and the servers you frequent to all move.

It’s not about the platform itself as much as it’s about the communities that are all already there.

Even the one person I know who is terrified of losing her account and preemptively set up alternatives on other platforms still won’t leave until something forces her.

As it should be. My cat is aware that he’s allowed to do as he pleases.

It’ll be both good and bad if it happens.

While it’ll be great for the threadiverse to have more growth it will inevitably put us in the crosshairs of bot farms and AI data farmers.

Surprised no one has mentioned teeth.

There was some drama in a discord I was in years ago over it. Not a lot of people knew about its origins and the mod staff in the server banned it from the memes channel without saying anything.

The plot of the 3rd movie is also because America or at least partly. The sandman became a criminal because he couldn’t afford care for his incredibly sick daughter otherwise.

There’s so many movie plots like that too. It’s normalized.

You say that but there’s a lot of work places that will judge you for it, if not outright fire/refuse to hire you over it.

This is also something men have it worse with because it’s used to profile you. In some countries they’ll outright arrest suspicious men due to their tattoos.

I’ll save it as a last ditch effort, since I’d rather detonate myself with the data center than die in other ways.

I almost cried reading the explanation.
