Tolerance is not an absolute rule, but a social contract. Members of a tolerant society agree to tolerate others so long as others do the same. When someone violates the contract by being intolerant they cannot then proceed to hide behind that same contract for protection.

At some point a judgement has to be made about what is tolerant and what is not, and that is a judgement we make collectively as upholders of the social contract.

Brown is just desaturated orange. You can even make the same color appear either orange or brown by changing the color surrounding it. Brown exists only in our brains.

Every one of these recipes that involve gelatin would be better without the gelatin.

This is the most lemmy-coded auto complete I’ve ever seen.

Definitely not. The 3 arrows are a really common tattoo (in north America at least), and can symbolize anything from the forward direction of time to family and friendship.

It’s a tattoo that’s so common that pretty much everyone who gets one ascribes their own meaning to it.

“Users have no idea what they want” was an actual, frequent quote from them.

It’s because they’re not designing for the users’ wants, they’re designing for the users’ engagement (or whatever flawed metric they use to determine that). The designers mindlessly equate what keeps the user engaged with what the user wants.

I like how the New York, Florida, and Texas tristate border still makes my homeland of western Kentucky instantly recognizable by the weird little nubbin that is the Jackson Purchase.

I think it’s the same issue as conservatives suddenly realizing their favorite band or movie/tv franchise is gasp woke!

They passively consume media without analyzing it beyond the surface level, then are personally offended that they were “baited” into consuming what they see as woke propaganda.

Then they also notice a trend of more overt progressive elements in media because of an increase in surface-level corporate pandering, and they blame “wokeness” for bad storytelling without realizing people who are actually woke hate the shallow pandering too.

Chickens are domesticated to the point that they cannot survive in the wild / have no ecological niche. Without some small scale animal agriculture like backyard chickens they would go extinct, though you could argue it’s for the best.

Personally I think small-scale egg farming is not exploitative when the chickens are treated well.

You do have a >!teleporter detector!<, sort of. You can use the >!scout launcher to see when the teleporter activates by shooting the scout on the platform and hanging back. A black hole will appear when it activates and you can jump in.!<

I think it might depend on what client you’re using. They’re working on Sync.

I mean, the entire game can sort of be described as an easter egg hunt. If you’re talking about >!warping inside the Ash Twin project!< then I get it, I got stuck on that for a while too but I love puzzle games and am used to that feeling of being stuck. I’ve noticed watching playthroughs that most people miss >!clues for how to tell the warp towers apart or how to apply the knowledge that warp towers activate when oriented towards the gravitational center of a destination!<, so there could’ve been more clues for that.

Edit: I think something that could’ve improved it is if they made a mini-game of the ship log to get more people to interact with it. A lot of the issues people seem to have with the game stem from them not meaningfully engaging with the clues they’ve been given. As it is the game relies heavily on people actively trying to piece together the puzzle themselves without any mechanism to ensure they do it.

You know it’s been a while since I’ve read that book, but I’m pretty positive that isn’t true.

It is also a cleaner delivery mechanism for THC than combustion.

The US has bombed its own citizens twice. First in 1950 it bombed the Puerto Rican towns of Jayuya and Utuado, then in 1985, the Philadelphia police dropped a bomb on a residential neighborhood while targeting MOVE.

If we were to go down the road of military and police violence against US citizens it would be a much longer list.

Where do you draw the line? Human sacrifices used to be a common religious practice, but surely you wouldn’t argue that we shouldn’t force others to conform to the belief that murder is wrong.

Personally I think religious practices that cause actual harm to others deserve no protection. Beliefs are just beliefs, religious or otherwise. If I believe I should be allowed to mutilate others without consequence, no one would defend my right to “practice” my belief; but if it’s part of a longstanding religious tradition it just gets a pass?

Traditions are only as good as the underlying reasons for them. If those have been forgotten or are otherwise no longer relevant, the tradition needs new justification just as any other new idea does.

Sad to see what is presumably still a child or adolescent casually talk about assaulting a younger child while using homophobic slurs and incel rhetoric.
