There’s a snuff/gore fiction subreddit. XD

In other words:
“We don’t want to put resources towards optimising our product. We don’t care if the methods we built our product with make it more difficult to use, while regressing in several key visual aspects. The burdon of our shortcomings will be placed on the end user, who will have to spend their resources to out-power them.”

Murder. Kill. Execute. Compel or coerce to take one’s own life. Use the actual words and terms for it, and not the weird censorship circumvention language.

You want to do something ethical with Spotify? Find a way to rip music from the platform. :)
Though preferably find a way to pay the artists in a more direct way. Especially if they’re smaller artists.

It doesn’t, which is refreshing. A lot of personal ego and insecurity is tied to those that care about how many upvotes they have.
My concern is that something like OP posted just brings that crap over here, albeit not in an integrated fashion.

I don’t get it. Is this the Lemmy version of Reddit’s karma?

False advertising. There are way more than 15 beans in that bag!

If you look into the history of Chris Roberts you’ll know it’s not a scam. Roberts is one of the few creatives I’d say actually needs an executive board to hold him back, because he’ll never stop and actually finish something.
I don’t think there’s a single project Roberts has finished on his own accord. He has always been made to finish.

To put in the words of someone I truly hate, someone I deeply despise, someone who used to be part of my friends discord group but is thankfully gone now:
“You can’t have winners without there being losers”.
This. This is how such people see the world, and in their eyes, perfectly justify inequality.
- Comment on Scientific unprogress... 1 week ago:
Do not mix theory with hypothesis. A theory in science is a very big deal and needs a lot to be true in order to even reach theory status (which is why “string theory” isn’t a theory. More like “string idea”).

They’re both the same thing for a different area.
- Comment on Scientific unprogress... 1 week ago:
The standard model of physics is not implying it has the answer to everything, or that there is nothing new to discover. The standard model of physics is the periodic table for fundamental particles. The bits that make up all the other parts.

Right, yeah. That too.

I’m not sure I mentioned anything about landing on other planets… However, engineering and science are closely related.
- Comment on Scientific unprogress... 1 week ago:
Well, while I agree that things are pretty shit and regressive, let’s not downplay the achievements we’ve had in the past 10 years:
- Completion of The Standard Model of Physics with the detection of the Higgs Boson.
- mRNA technology, which is now a serious candidate for curing HIV, and is potentially capable of being used against most viral diseases.
- Imaging a black hole. Doing it again. Providing more proof of general relativity.
- Measuring gravity waves. Doing it as a normal measurement now.
- Salt batteries are finally reaching the market, which will eventually end the destructive mining and refinement of lithium.
- The James Webb Space Telescope, which was already making breakthroughs and creating new questions within the first 3 months of activation.
- Solar power becoming incredibly cost effective.
- Cybernetic limbs for the physically disabled. Yes, cybernetic limbs.
- Though overused; medication that effectively combats eating disorders.
These are just the ones I know from the top of my head.

But Adam Sandler movies just generally aren’t funny either. Like, the jokes aren’t good.

Except Ben Stiller doesnt look weird and goofy like Adam Sandler. And his comedy isn’t horrible cringe either.
- Comment on 4th dimension doesn't exist because even 1D or 2D themselves are not real. 1 week ago:
The text on your screen doesn’t exist as molecules. The text exists as the light travelling between your screen and your eyeballs.
The length light has to travel to reach your eyes is three dimensionak, but the actual shape of the text is still two dimensional.
Then there is the light itself, which has wave-particle duality; a light particle has no discernable border, and can be described as a one dimensional point in space, with a two-dimensional wave function.

We poses the traits to become athletic. Does that mean that someone getting a part of a human makes them instantly athletic?
Yes, extensive training is required for either. Exactly. Thank you. You’ve just made my point.

Since it’s such an intimate affair, I wonder why they didn’t call it Pon Closs.
- Comment on "Wait, was that shampoo? Yeah.. Welp, I guess we're washing our body with shampoo today." 2 weeks ago:
What’s the difference?
Actually look at the ingredients of shampoo vs body wash; they contain the same chemicals, with shampoo containing a few dedicated to hair.
So body wash is shampoo minus the hair chemicals.
I just buy these very large squirt bottles of shampoo and wash my whole body with it. No problem, and much cheaper than buying several “specific” smaller bottles of mostly the same stuff.

- Comment on Vulcans are an incredibly emotional and passionate species. 2 weeks ago:
On the contrary; none of the episodes in all of Trek, up until your Voyager episode, states that a Vulcan’s logic and emotional suppression comes from biology. They do the opposite; Vulcans are biologically incredibly emotional and passionate. The Voyager episode doesn’t even go into detail what that biology is either.
It’s just a brain centre, like any other brain centre, that regulates emotion (humans have one too), and through training the Vulcans use to it suppress their emotions. Unless you explicitly choose to ignore all canon that comes before it.
Even within Voyager it is clear that a Vulcan achieves logic and emotional control through years of training, and that before logic and emotional control became part of Vulcan culture, Vulcans were passionate and violent. Do you deny this well established canon?
- Comment on Vulcans are an incredibly emotional and passionate species. 2 weeks ago:
I provided direct references in OP. You decided to ignore them in favour of one selective moment in Voyager.
- Comment on Vulcans are an incredibly emotional and passionate species. 2 weeks ago:
… you can’t be selective.
Speak for yourself.
