It just feels so petty. Not a single person reading "less cops" was confused by its meaning. I get fighting against misuse of your/you're, its/it's, etc. because they can make things harder to read. Fewer and less, though, have the exact same underlying meaning (a reduction).

That is literally the funniest ASCII drawing I've seen.

Severance is a fantastic show.

Billionaires literally cannot exist without doing a ton of evil shit. But he's an enemy of my enemy, so I take this as a win.

There's a direct correlation. Where do you think the money comes from?

Not eating eggs is cheapest.

Wouldn't it be easy to lie though? Instance B could report 1000 upvotes to Instance C and Instance C would have no way of verifying that. An instance could boost its own numbers pretty easily, pushing agendas to the front page.

The transparency allows for accountability. It would be pretty easy to detect an instance making up user upvotes versus a "just trust this number" system.

Stop using paedophiles in memes.

You can stop eating meat at any point. No need to wait for lab grown.

Let me get this straight. You want everyone's working conditions to be worse so some people wil choose to retire? Why stop there then? Dock everyone's pay, reduce vacation time, force people to work over weekends - that will REALLY drive up the people retiring!

The dairy industry and the meat industry are two sides of the same coin.

He's too busy working on Tildes, unfortunately.

It's not that they're the enemy - it's just that the platform is controlled by its users. If an admin goes bad, users have the ability to change instances or stand up instances of their own. We are not tied to a single entity's will.

If you liked Life is Strange, I strongly recommend Lost Records: Bloom & Rage. Made by the same team.

Uh YEAH RIGHT there is no way that cow is happy. It probably had to eat vegetables its whole life and everyone knows you can't be happy eating VEGAN food.

Omg gross, just go to the store and buy some chicken periods to bake with instead!

I agree. The threshold for becoming the "dominant species" of a planet is so low that the species still has its primal wiring for tribalism, competitiveness, etc. by the time it can build rockets. We humans should've had more time in the evolutionary oven to become more empathetic and cooperative for longer-term survival. Instead we have people willing (and able) to literally burn the world down to become richer or more powerful. And we have most of society cheering them on.

We've been on the verge of destroying ourselves for decades now, and humans have just barely started doing space stuff (a blink compared to the life of the universe). How in the world can anyone expect us to get to Dyson sphere levels of progress with how fragile our existence is?

I have the same issue. Makes the front page unusable with the flood of posts pushing everything down. Firefox / Win 11

I think this is where the disconnect is. It's not just milking an animal. It's getting her pregnant, taking her child away from her shortly after birth and killing it. It's keeping her trapped in a tiny pen for her whole life, barely able to move. Then, when she can no longer produce milk, kill her, 6 years into her 20-year lifespan.

Dairy is cruel. Arguably more cruel than meat.
