  • That's not gatekeeping, that's being judgemental about how others spend their time.

  • That's not what gatekeeping is

  • First responders of lemmy, do you ever find yourself hating the people you're saving when you're constantly dealing with easily-avoidable catastrophes?

  • Yep, imagine how many people wouldn't have their life ruined by addiction if they could work their job and buy their drugs. The system we have now just turns functional addicts into homeless addicts.

  • Why is Lemmy so US-centric? The largest instances are in Europe, aren't they? So why does it have to be US news trolling as if it were Reddit?

  • and unfortunately a lot of people don't want to leave the reddit behind

  • So, there’s no bioligical basis for vegetable in the first place

    idk if I would go that far, I think "edible parts of plants" is a solid foundation. Sure, "edible" is kind of a social construct, but the plant part is indisputable. "Vegetarian" and "plant based diet" are near synonymous

  • Tomatoes and fruits are a great litmus test (no pun intended) to see if a person can recognize the domain of their knowledge. Some people glomp onto a fact that is correct in some scenarios and use it as an "umm actually" where it isn't appropriate or even correct (like the definition of racism)

  • Actually, "mushrooms are technically meat" is a new hill I'd like to die on. Mushrooms have animal cells, ergo, definitely not a vegetable.

  • We all know grammar Nazis. What incorrect grammar are you completely in defence of?

  • Close gate? No it's all the way over there.

  • Maximizing pleasure and minimizing pain in the world is a much better thing to live for than accruing capital or assuring that people within a certain geographical area have it better than others if you ask me 🤷

    Sure but that doesn't make it badass.

  • The down vote button is not the "disagree" button, what do you use it for?

  • They're called cliches btw

  • If you want to see my pusswatcha, dress like men in hair metal bands from the 1980s.

  • A better way to say it might be like “some assholes prey on women’s insecurities”. Keep the focus on the person who is the problem, not the victims.

    idk I think that's needlessly condescending to women, not all of them dating assholes are victims, some just like assholes because they like asshole behavior because they're also an asshole.

  • Could Venusian greenhouse gas effects keep a TNO like Pluto warm?

    Jump

  • If we are starting the the chemicals being cases, through external means or the TNO not starting as a TNO, would it be able to sustain enough heat to keep it that way?

  • Could Venusian greenhouse gas effects keep a TNO like Pluto warm?

    Jump

  • So what if there is a temporary heat source (nuke or something) or it originated from closer to the sun?

  • Could Venusian greenhouse gas effects keep a TNO like Pluto warm?

    Jump

  • Shouldn't the greenhouse effect be trapping whatever does make it though? I thought greenhouse effects could lead to a positive feedback loop scenario

  • Could Venusian greenhouse gas effects keep a TNO like Pluto warm?

    Jump

  • Not Pluto specifically, in fact "TNO like Pluto" was kind of a misspeak because mass and density are flexible. I basically just want a slightly-more-habitable place than the average terrestrial world and work backwards from there. Things like moons of gas giants are explored, but I was thinking how to make things even more remote.

  • What's a really popular game franchise you just can't get into?

  • Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 are real time with pause if that helps!

  • 2001: A Space Odyssey touched me in that special place between science, religion, and spirituality.

    It was always hungry, and now it was starving. When the first faint glow of dawn crept into the cave, Moon-Watcher saw that his father had died in the night. He did not know that the Old One was his father, for such a relationship was utterly beyond his understanding, but as he looked at the emaciated body he felt dim disquiet that was the ancestor of sadness

     

    In their explorations, they encountered life in many forms, and watched the workings of evolution on a thousand worlds. They saw how often the first faint sparks of intelligence flickered and died in the cosmic night. And because, in all the galaxy, they had found nothing more precious than Mind, they encouraged its dawning everywhere. They became farmers in the fields of stars; they sowed, and sometimes they reaped. And sometimes, dispassionately, they had to weed.
