  Cyberpunk.

  I’ve been leaning lately to understanding all the weird shit going on that people are just people are driven by whatever inherited animal traits that made humans the dominant species on the planet in the first place. Expansionist hoarders of resources until we run out and then expand again. Until there is nowhere more to expand. Then it be war times.

  No “lifespan” people around?

  You also risk killing x3 more innocent bystanders.

  Don’t play with motor vehicles on public roads or whatever happens is not an accident.

  I don’t want to speculate.

  These clicky baity titles are so fucking stupid. The bleeding edge of data storage is priced at a premium? How surprising.

  Good for you!

  As far as we know, from what OP has told. But it doesn’t really matter. The only thing that matters is that OP moves on. Both OP and this girl will be better off without this toxic interaction of theirs.

  Harsh truth for you bud. She doesn’t like you and she probably hates you for trying to get her to like you. She treats you bad because you let her and keep coming back for more. Honestly, I’d hate anybody doing that with me. I’d lose all my respect for that person very fast. I think most people do. This is on you to accept it and get on with life. She’s already made it clear that she’s not interested in whatever you are hoping for.

  From my Xennial experience, some time in the 00s. Maybe because the wide spread (heh) availability of internet porn, but I don’t really know. 90s were bushy. 00s was a transitional era and 10s and onwards are bald eagles everywhere.

  (Personally I don’t enjoy shaving my parts, I don’t enjoy having shaved parts and I prefer lady parts with some trimmed carpeting rather than both desert dunes or wild djungles.)

  It could also be conditioning and culture. A lot of American culture seems to be centered on the ego, the satisfaction of the ego and then a very fast escalation to anger and violence if the ego is perceived to be threatened.

  I don’t think it is realistic to wish it go away with the generation exposed to lead paint. And I doubt it is productive to make microplastics the new excuse.

  He had completely gotten the point but is afraid you’ll do an irreversible mistake. He is clearly looking out for your best interest. Because he loves you.

  I’ve been craving something like this as an alternative to Trakt since their latest enshittification. Are there other alternatives? Do they share protocols and whatnot like lemmy, kbin, Mastodon etc?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Dangerous line of question as it is easy for sociopathic fucks to twist and manipulate it all around into justification.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't we just gather up all the ocean's trash and all the nonrecyclables, put them in a rocket, and launch it into the sun?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem with launching nuclear waste with a rocket is that you’re shooting an enormous dirty bomb and hoping it will make it out of the atmosphere. One single incident and we’ve got an environmental disaster of unprecedented scale.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One aspect of punishment is retribution for the victims when there is nothing else and another is to keep people that are harmful away in order to keep other people safe.

  Here in Sweden we have a current massive problem with organized crime that are now systematically abusing our criminal justice system that is built on humanitarian ideals for rehab and protecting suspects and criminals rights to the absurd. So yes, in those cases I think punishment will do. Cynically abusing protection measures of society deserves punishment. It may not change those individuals for the life they have chosen for themselves but it will keep them out of making even more damage to society and violent crime against individuals and I honestly see no problem in harsh consequences for their own decisions.
