The internet has ruined me. I fully expected a punchline about uninstalling Life.

Great game though, agreed. Stupid thing had me waking up at 6am as a child to attend morning aerobics.

And Kiki stole something from me before I could save with it. I forget if it was an igloo item or a painting. I liked her but not at that moment! Looking back though, little frustrations like that made the game more charmingly alive.

I have to ask because I live under a rock and can’t tell; Is this type of joke legitimately considered transphobic?

No kids. They’re a huge, life long commitment that you need to be willing to sacrifice everything for. Your happiness, your sanity, your time, your money… everything.

And I’m not the type of person who wants kids nearly enough to do that.

Especially when people tell me that I should for reasons like having a caretaker when I’m older. I’m not attached to my parents enough to do that. Why would I expect that of anything I pop out? And what a horrible selfish reason to make a new human that is!

If the only reason I’d be having a kid is selfish reasons in the distant future that aren’t even a guarantee, then that’s not worth sacrificing myself for right now.

Nothing against other people who want to be parents, so long as they’re prepared and not doing it as some sort of life insurance or to make a clone of themselves.

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.

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!

On a mental estimate… 15% of the time.

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.

On the other site I had to leave the asexual spaces because they became oddly sexual. And that made me really uncomfortable in a space I was specifically in for the company of other not sexual people.

They even got super defensive and called you things like acephobic for pointing out that asexuality and graysexuality are not the same thing and deserve their own spaces so everyone can be comfortable.

There’s the trauma thing, too. If someone claimed that a person “became” heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual due to trauma, they’d be rightly called out that it doesn’t work that way. And yet the asexual communities started saying that trauma can cause asexuality. No, it doesn’t, it causes trauma. Saying sexual trauma can cause an orientation is not only silly, it’s downright harmful to all because people will be told that trauma is okay and that asexuality can be “cured”. Both are horrible to imply.

I hope that Lemmy will have a more sane, comfortable asexual community. I’m here cautiously now, watching and hoping it doesn’t become a sexual community using the asexual label as a badge instead of a useful term describing a completely natural orientation alongside Hetero/Homo/Bisexual.

None of this is at you, OP. Just a bit of a vent and a hope for a better tomorrow.

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.
