Concepts like rape don’t exist in the animal kingdom
Did you forget humans are animals? If you don’t like using the word rape to describe sexually violating an animal, there’s another one we’ve come up with… bestiality.
Same for the thing about taking children away
Are you seriously trying to say humans are the only species who should have a right not to be sexually violated or have their children taken from them and killed? Since we know that cows are thinking, feeling, emotional creatures capable of forming strong family bonds… what exactly is it about humans that makes them special in that way?
Sorry, I don’t find any of the actions I described above to be sane. And if you think I’m being sensational, you haven’t watched Dominion yet, and you should. I was actually just describing the “normal” aspects of the dairy industry; the reality of the conditions these living, thinking, feeling beings live in are even worse.

Same here, and I’d rather be down-voted into oblivion than pretend my past actions weren’t “questionable”. I’d love to say I’m a proud vegan, but truthfully, I’m not proud of being vegan; I’m ashamed and regretful of how long it took me to become one.
For the vast majority of my life, I regularly paid mega corporations in a corrupt and evil industry to rape females with machines to impregnate them, then separate the children from their mothers shortly after birth so that I could drink the mammary secretions meant for those children (who were then murdered if they were male, or raised in deplorable conditions to become part of the process themselves if they were female).
Funny you mention that. I just got an email last week that my youtube music price was going up to $14.99/month. I’ve used it since the days of google play, before it joined with youtube and it was like $9.99 (mostly out of a dislike for spotify). But it isn’t the best service tbh, what with low-quality audio and a buggy app interface. So I was finally motivated to make the switch to Tidal this week. Loving it so far… hope they don’t follow suit and up their sub price like the others (knock on wood).
FWIW, the email I got from youtube said something about being able to sign up for a cheaper rate if I nuked my account and made a new one on youtube through a web browser. Not sure why that would make a difference, but I was too over it to even bother.
I was addicted to lemmings as a kid! I recently just saw a video for a new game called "Humanity" which looks like a modernized play on the same idea, with crowds of people instead of lemmings.

Yeah, their response seems to basically boil down to ‘It’s doing great if you consider it’s ps5 exclusive’, which kinda misses the point. It’d probably have sold even better than 15 if it wasn’t. It’s just strange that they’d neuter their own potential for sales. I’d have bought it too, but I’m already losing interest, and there’s no sign of it coming to other platforms anytime soon.
I remember reading Timothy Zahn as a teen and not being able to put the books down. Tbh I think his plotlines are better than the movies.
The Star-spangled Banner (where the phrase “Land of the Free” comes from) was written in 1814, 51 years before slavery was abolished. The idea that America is or ever was the land of the free is a total joke.
It’s worth mentioning, while there are a lot of parallels to GTA, there are some important differences you should expect. For instance, there’s no ability to steal cars from others in this game. Rather you buy your own vehicles and drive those only. The game is more focused on the story and missions than the vehicle aspect.
Well, (and this isn't exactly an answer to your question), one thing that's interesting to consider is... if Spock killed Evil Kirk, he also killed Good Kirk. In other words he killed two people to save one (if you want to look at each of them as individuals in a sense equal to the original). Janeway "killed" one person to save two.
Yeah that makes sense, she could totally be messing with him... which I guess would mean the timelines diverged and somewhere in the multiverse there's a Janeway that actually does remember everything! That helps my head-canon at least, thanks.
VOY S7E10 Shattered - Does she remember? (spoilers)
On my first watch-through and this episode was great, I love time anomaly episodes. Also really appreciated how, as the show comes to a close, this episode asks the question "Was the journey worth it? If they could go back and undo getting stranded in the DQ, would they?" And of course we discover through Chakotay's dialogue with Janeway that the journey has ultimately been worth it.
Anyway at the end, Janeway remarks that she knows where Chakotay hides the cider and cites the temporal prime directive. So does this imply she remembers the whole thing? If so that really kind of changes things for the whole show prior to this, for example she would have already known they were going to be stranded in the DQ from episode 1. So while I like the idea I'm having trouble reconciling it?
I can’t help but read your posts in Janeway’s voice. And now I’m imagining her with a wife.
Have you watched Mr. Robot? That’s my favorite show and in the same vein of mind-bendy, twists & turns & cliffhangers. It can be a slow start since it takes almost the whole first season to reveal what kind of show it is, but well worth it.
ahhh that took me a minute, nice catch

Just did a reading last night & curious what others would make of it. The background: I’m probably going to have to move in the next couple of months, and one option I’ve been considering is staying at my parents’ place for a while until I can save up to put a down payment on a house nearby (financially this would be great for me); my only hesitation is that sometimes there’s friction between myself and my parents after prolonged time together as our values differ a bit. I asked whether this was a good idea, or if I should explore other options.
My interpretation: this was a tough one and I’m unsure about it. Not encouraging that all three cards are reversed lol. The 8 of cups maybe speaks to my past living situations, I’ve moved around a lot and never stayed in one place long so maybe this is saying something about my tendency to walk away from things. The Q of Cups could mean that I’m not seeing my options clearly because of the emotional / social aspects? Not sure. It could also be my mom, who has been a little emotionally on edge (and admittedly a little hard to be around) lately, one reason being she’s stressed by her recent undertaking to install a pool in the yard. Which is kinda funny because it looks to me like this Queen is being dunked under water. The 4 of wands is what I’m really curious about. Normally I’d say it might mean a celebration, or the start of something new, but then again it’s reversed. I notice the tent on it looks kind of like a temporary shelter. So maybe it’s saying, whatever new start I make, ultimately it will only be temporary so I shouldn’t get too attached to it?
Any thoughts appreciated, thanks!

Spirituality
lemmy.world/c/spirituality
I have created a new community for broad, general spirituality-related discussions and sharing. I hope to see a positive and uplifting community of users from various faiths and spiritual backgrounds grow, come join us!
Introductions
Hey everyone, I started this community because I didn't find one that was related to spirituality in general. Hopefully more users will join in the next few days and we can create a positive and supportive environment to share spiritual experiences, beliefs, and questions. I figured we could start with a simple thread to introduce ourselves and talk a little about how spirituality plays a part in our life. Feel free to comment below and welcome!
New Tarot Community
lemmy.world/c/tarot
I've created a community for all things Tarot related - discussion, reading and interpretation requests, etc. I'm still getting used to the links and addresses on Lemmy so if this doesn't work for some reason let me know and I'll try to fix it.
Reading / Interpretation Requests Thread
Hello, welcome! I started this community because I noticed there wasn't one related to Tarot yet. Feel free to use this space to make requests for readings, or help with interpretations of your own readings for now. Or make a new post if you like. For now we can keep things pretty free-form and open, and as we get more activity we'll reassess.
