Its funny because I have no issue killing or robbing NPCs no matter how good or friendly they are. But the second any multiple choice response pops up, pictured below is me any time I hover over the rude answer.
Yup, this was me. I picked up Stellaris probably not even a year ago at this point. While not entirely friendly, I at least made peace with my neighbors during my first play through. And then for my second play through I pirated all the DLC because holy fucking shit that’s expensive. I ended up becoming the crisis, blew up some stars, and eventually the whole universe. Good times.
And calling people that get another animal heartless isn’t?
Anyway, it was meant as a commentary on how people can grieve but still get new pets. I wasn’t commanding them to grieve this way. Maybe “you gotta” was a poor choice of words.
I never said anywhere that anybody needed to take on another pet. All I said was, essentially, it’s okay to do and people aren’t heartless for doing it.
You gotta move on through the grief, accept that they’re no longer with you, but that you gave them the best life you could. And maybe realize that giving another pet a good life doesn’t mean you’re replacing or forgetting your last one. Some people are just better at it than others, they aren’t being heartless.
That said, people who get a new dog a week or two after their previous one died are insane to me. That just feels disrespectful.

I’m very new to this particular instance, but my original .world account turns 2 in just 10 days, so I see we found Lemmy around the same time.
Happy birthday, .zip!
Paid for out of your own wallet? That’s super cool of you.
It’s not similar to “god of the gaps” at all, as I’m not inserting anything inside of that gap. I have no fucking clue what’s causing it to emerge, and I probably never will. Rather than saying “I don’t know what’s causing lightning so it must be Zeus,” I’m saying “I don’t know what’s causing lightning, but I can see it’s coming from the sky.” Or in this case, I have no idea what’s causing us to experience consciousness, but it seems to be a result of our brain.
And I see no evidence for the idea that consciousness can even exist outside of the brain, nor that an afterlife exists.
I find it odd that we doubt the afterlife.
Most people don’t, unfortunately.
How do you define consciousness? How do you define “you”?
I believe that consciousness is simply an emergent property of our brain. Without the brain, there is no consciousness. A brain can be destroyed, just like a hard drive can be destroyed. Sure, the atoms are still there, but the “you” inside of them is as good as gone.

An actual coin flip each day whether or not anything would load at all. I got so tired of it I just went back to Youtube, as I’ve only ever seen one single ad in my entire time using uBlock Origin on Librewolf.
I’m glad to be here tbh. I considered moving to either here or blahaj a few times just to get away from the biggest instances, but I had no issues with lemm.ee so I never did in the end. But here’s my push I guess!

Because I missed like half a week. It’s so toxic and honestly isn’t even that useful for learning. So I uninstalled that shit immediately.
I’ve never understood this pov. Sure you can say no vote was the same thing as a vote for trump, but surely the people that actually voted for him are worse, no? I can understand ‘fuck you just as much’, but even more?
