I think that the multiverse exist and we're the 1% of timelines that the cold war didnt go hot.

Some of the most powerful people of the world work hard to get us closer.

It's just a joke about how weird human culture is. I wonder how you infer anything about me as a person because of one silly joke? Only super weird persons can notice weird cultural things and make jokes about it? Genuinely curious about your reasoning here.

To me its much weirder that it's completely normalized to drink baby milk from another species, to the point that it seems completely normal, but each to their own.

It's crazy how many people have never been weaned

But could the average hunter still hunt without the help of modern technology? Those who are entirely unable to do so are obviously not apex predators.

A lion can hunt any day without relying on a rifle, the vast majority of hunters could not.

So if you are smart enough to develop ranged weapons

Hunters that can build their own bows or spears and are able to hunt with them are genuine apex predators, that's fair.

Those who are completely reliant on industrially produced high tech firearms bought in a store, and would be outcompeted by any house cat without them, are not.

So apex that even hunters need firearms because they're not fit enough to hunt without them nowadays, and unable to improvise and use self made weapons like the og hunters did.

I guess people that drive a forklift are "apex powerlifters" too.

They just know people will buy the meat no matter how much the animals were abused so why would they bother? Even those who see themselves as animal lovers happily look the other way with every purchase. The industry has all the incentives to be exceptionally cruel so of course it is.

Most of the stories posted on large subreddits were imaginary anyway. Now they are just being hallucinated by an AI. Is there much of a difference?

It is absurd, and complicit at this point. I think most people who are informed about what's happening in Gaza would agree on this. But it's not much of a topic in public discourse here and quite a few people still believe that the IDF is fighting against terrorists, so there's not enough pressure against this. Especially amongst the conservatives.

That's my impression from DIS, but isn't SNW supposed to be decent?

If trump knew he was going to die he'd probably claim that he was poisoned by the democrats to at least see some more violence committed for him.

Das Wichtigste ist es nicht zu fliegen, das spart sogar Geld.

Beim Strom könnte man auch als Mieter zu einem Ökostromanbieter wechseln, die sind auch nicht mehr unbedingt teurer.

Statt Fleisch kann man entweder auf Lebensmittel zurückgreifen die günstiger sind (z.B. Haferflocken, Bohnen, Linsen, gefrorenes Gemüse, Falafelmischung) oder es mit pflanzenbasierten Fleischalternativen ersetzen. Die von den Lidl und Kaufland Eigenmarken sind inzwischen mindestens so günstig wie Billigfleisch und die anderen Supermärkte sind auch auf dem Weg.

Also nachhaltiger zu Leben geht auch als Mieter und ohne reich zu sein.

Unsustainable consumerism is a big part of this problem and if we continue to give them even more money to lobby against us, we have already lost.

The belief that consumer habits don't need to change and that everything can be solved by just voting for the right party every 4 years is not based in reality. I wish it was this easy.

If people buy and drive gas cars when they don't have to, they are perpetuating the fossil fuel industry. If people choose to buy factory farmed products, they are funding factory farming with their money.

The sustainable options like electric cars and plant based alternatives also need demand to compete with the much more destructive counterparts. We have to push for the solutions, not finance the problems.

Can you think of a more profit-friendly message than "Just keep on consuming more, it's fine, don't question the consequences, keep up the status quo"? I can't.

I don't think the official one is gonna be bad by any means. They will probably fix the biggest flaws with hindsight and modernize the graphics, and it will be a big improvement over the original if everything goes right.

But ultimately they had deadlines to meet and many more games in the pipeline, whilst the Skyblivion team can work on everything for as long as it takes, experiment much more and put as much detail and soul into everything as they want. I think that will make a difference, but both will be good games.

Offering at least one option that don't include factory farmed food, that caused a lot of animal suffering in it's production, should be the bare minimum.

"When I specifically go to a restaurant run by animal lovers and I can't even get any dead animals from them, you shouldn't be able to get food that didn't harm animals in any restaurant!"

Wow. I guess there really are people who want to make it even harder to avoid causing cruelty, for no reason... Just why?

Skyblivion (the fan remake) will probably have much more attention to detail and will also release this year, after over 10 years of development. The dev log videos look amazing. I'd be very surprised if the official remake is as good.

If you're browsing on mobile, I can recommend the app Voyager for Lemmy or Thunder for Lemmy. I liked their layout the best from the few I tried.

I wonder if they were just too blinded by greed to act rationally or were under the impression that they can control Trump enough to keep the economy afloat.

We also got Russia and the US weaponizing social media to support far-right parties. The EU needs to get their shit together.

The climate impact of the poorest is nothing compared to the pollution of rich countries anyways and the same is true for factory farming. The money will likely be used for much more environmentally destructive things now instead. There's nothing positive in this from any progressive perspective.

I can imagine which kind of gun enthusiasts will form militias then, and what kind of values they will enforce... Certainly not equality and the rule of law. Many would probably hunt or terrorize immigrants and LGBT+ folks for leisure, for example.

Sure, police culture and accountability are broken in many places (especially in the US), but just getting rid of them while leaving a power vacuum for any nut jobs with power fantasies to fill, with literally 0 accountability, would be even more of an absolute nightmare for minorities.
