I think moreso an opportunity for developers of specific genres to get attention in an increasingly crowded marketplace.

Your entitlement is incredible.

Of course it isn't immoral to have private discussion groups. That's an absurd idea. Subreddits are private conversation spaces, not a public service, you aren't owed access to any of them. Do you have the same emotional reaction to invite only subreddits?

Have you stopped to consider for a moment why that filter might have been established?

If you had responded to the ban like an adult and simply pointed that out in a polite way, I'd wager they would happily drop the ban. It's an automated process, and they included a helpful link for how to flag a false positive.

But instead you just threw a tantrum and acted like an ass. I would have muted you too.

Because higher temperatures aren't the problem, the rate of change is. I assume the worst because we've seen it before in the fossil record. The best comparison is the Triassic-Permian extinction. Rapid change in temperatures led to global ecological collapse and the death of 85% of all life on earth. Now, during the Triassic-Permian extinction CO2 levels rose from 400 ppm to ~2500 ppm over the course of ~50,000 years, with an estimated rate of change of around .05 ppm per year. We're starting out lower at 280 ppm before the industrial revolution, but we've already hit 420, and we're now adding about 2.5 ppm every year, with that number increasing every year. So we're currently experiencing warming that's 50 times faster than the most devastating extinction event in Earth's history.

The fact that our entire food industry is based around genetically engineered monocultures is just another point of failure. It's a constant game of cat and mouse to continually keep each generation of plants protected against changing diseases and pests, and because the vast majority of the seed is coming from one company, if something does adapt to overcome the engineered defenses, it's devastating to the entire global population of that crop.

I think if someone looks good in photos but not on video, they probably just have a skilled photographer.

You're a consumer in a capitalist society, you should absolutely have you guard up every single time you pull out your wallet. Why is this specific game any different?

It's 3700 pieces. Frankly considering the license I was expecting it to be much worse.

Do you have any examples of that? I'm certainly no expert in this subject, so I'd love to know more.

[-] Blueberrydreamer@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 8 months ago

I absolutely agree. But it's up to Congress to actually do that. That's the branch of government that has failed here.

I've had the same issue when using Sync, but they seem to be working fine on Boost.

150 years ago Lobster was considered disgusting trash food only eaten by the poorest Americans. This isn't about taste, it's about perception and the availability of meat. The main difference between a Pillbug and a shrimp (in terms of edibility) is the size. Most small bugs don't have enough meat to be worth preparing in a way where it's not obvious you're eating a bug. It's pretty much just aquatic arthropods that can escape the limitations of air breathing to get large enough to be a more appetizing food source.

That definition would also apply to teaching a baby to walk.
