Ouroboros can have a little ouroboros, as a treat

Monilla on sanottavaa, kaikilla on vaiettavaa; puhutaan siis, ja ollaan yhtä hiljaa.

  • People can “feel” how ever they want. But when those feelings bring them to telling others to “not punch a Nazi” (symbolically here), in that moment, they are just defending a Nazi from the consequences of their actions and denying justice to victims.

    I agree with this fully, though. But nobody here has said not to punch nazis, just told they feel bad about it (figuratively).

    My pont is: if you are a soldier on a war front, you do not have to hate the enemy, or their leader, or anyone, to shoot them. You just have to know they will kill you, your family, and destroy your culture, if you do not. Telling people they should feel only pure hatred towards monstrous people seems reasonable, since you are correct they do not share the compassion nor deserve it - but it is not a requirement for fighting against evil. If you cannot hold a steady hand, even knowing faltering will kill your loved ones, kids in gaza, countless other victims or cause some other horrendous thing, you have to find the resolve in you, to do it anyway. But that resolve does not require hatred, it can be even just the love for someone else. If you punch a nazi, the emotion driving your resolve does not matter. What matters is doing it, even if you feel that empathy, because you believe what you are defending, is worth it.


  • animal not fit to live in the wild

    Cats are perfectly fit to live in the wild, they are apex predators with insane kill-ratios, that will decimate the local small fauna. Even most escaped housecats will survive just fine on their own. Only ones, that have some health conditions, or have been inbred, to have flat faces and excessive fur etc., cannot survive without human care.




  • Yes, it can apply to so many things! I too have some very random traits taken to the extreme as well, not only skills or sensory stuff. For example I severely lack in the basic ability to regulate myself just in general; I will either give 100% in everything I do (face-to-face interactions with others included), or I will do something only barely or not at all.



  • Everything you do in it is stuff you can make yourself do in real life.

    That depends which of them, and the style you play it. I have played the Sims 2 for twenty years, and do not remember when was the last time I played some boring everyday life with a single family. I do things, like create huge family trees and play the entire neighborhood as one, tangling the relationships, and making drama and whatever I feel like. Murder mysteries, cults, monasteries, a nursing home for the elderly, fill big graveyards with a serial killer, build random stuff like an opera house or an art gallery, and run them as a businesses… Adding mods especially lets you play however you want. I even played a genuine Zombie Apocalypse scenario, with mods, that made the zombified sims npc’s, that would attack everyone on their own, and infect the attacked, who would then soon die and turn into another zombie.


  • Lihavilli-makaronineutraali siis :)

    Itse havaitsin tätä tehdessä, että oikeastaan ainesten lisäksi tärkeää on tietty rappion estetiikka. Esim. neljän pastapussin jämät ja pakastimen pohjalta löytyneet kanasuikaleet kuulostavat itselleni enemmän nistipadalta, kuin varta vasten kauppasta ostettu kallis luomujauheliha ja täysjyvämakaronit (en kyllä tiedä, kuka tekisi niin tarkoituksella vain nistipataan, mutta meitä on moneen junaan). Tai vaikken kelpuuttaisi tonnikala-riisiä nistipadaksi minäkään, voisin kuitenkin hyväksyä jauheliha-riisin tai jauheliha-pakastevihannekset, jos kaikki pasta tai hiilarit ylipäätään on loppu kaapista. Siitä en kuitenkaan keksinyt yhtä hauskaa meemiä.







  • Euthanasia should only be used as a last resort

    That is… that is what it is now, basically? People in animal shelters generally don’t want to kill the animals, but what are they going to do, if they have places for fifty, and five hundred in need? They are killing them, because it is the last resort. There just are not enough resources for all the dogs - or other animals - needing help.



  • Probably schadenfreude, annoyance and frustration combined, I would guess. The US politics are blastered constantly on your face on the web, news, everywhere, and dominate the discussions on Fediverse as well. Being here, you basically cannot escape, reading people from the US fighting each other about things, that sound asinine, in the context of many other cultures. I have observed this annoys many people (myself included, though I try to just avoid engaging), and with how the Trump idiocies fuck with the rest of the world as well right now, these combined seem to cause all sort of unhelpful lashing outs.




  • Mine evolved into major depression around twenty years ago, and I have had major health issues practically the whole time as well. I have never been physically or mentally healthy as an adult, and I was not doing well before that, either. So… I mean, I could always be doing even worse.

    My biggest achievement in life, has been staying alive this long.
