Thanks. I just lost The Game.

I losst The Game before reading this because of the dang image.

Wait tgis is a real car? Wow I thought it was an art project or AI meme

Vegans simply existing make people feel uncomfortable, so defense mechanisms in the brain trigger.

Since it’s an ethical stance, and people at least deep down know that killing innocent animals for 5 minutes of taste pleasure is wrong, but they don’t want to change themselves.

So the brain tries to rationalize how it’s definitely not wrong and really the vegan is wrong, and/or demonize the position to shield itself from the discomfort of knowing.

Basically psychological defenses kick in to defend unethical behavior that someone highlights by simply existing.

On Voyager with my sh.itjust.works account with nsfw toggled off and I don’t see any furry or porn.

I am pleased with this.

Individual instances and frontends might have something to do with it. People saying they see a ton of NSFW and have to block so many communities, but at sh.itjust.works on Voyager I haven’t seen any of that.

It’s simultaneously open yet curated at the same time and that’s pretty neat!

“What I do won’t matter” said by every individual is exactly how nothing changes.

Sure the ocean won’t suffer for the loss of a few individual drops of water. But if there are no drops of water at all, there is no ocean.

We are all drops.

If the world is gonna burn, I’m at least gonna enjoy some nice warm days in Winter. Silver lining!

Not yet but that’s a good idea to add!

This is why I don’t cook anything fancy.

If I can’t throw together in 2 minutes and toss it in a a cooker unattended until a timer goes off or eat it uncooked, I don’t care enough to make it.

Boring? Sure. I still enjoy my ramen with broccoli and my canned peaches oatmeal.

Wow just calling me out here smh.

That reminds me of a generational difference I heard about where when someone says “Thank you”, the older generation will say “you’re welcome”, seeing that they did something worth thanking. But the younger generation feels uncomfortable saying “you’re welcome” and says “no problem” instead, implying it was simply an expected thing for them to do.

I’m in the “no problem” generation. And yeah, saying “you’re welcome” really does just feel weird to me.

I run AdGuard on my iPhone and don’t see ads at all. No idea how it’s so effective, but it is.

Also have an old model/iOS version though. Idk if it’s no longer possible.

If they can figure out how to enable the camera on my cameraless pc, that’s just impressive.

I don’t even use a proper monitor I use a 6 year old budget tv screen. I see no camera lens on that thing.
