I mean, games are like interactive movies now. RDR2? Cyberpunk 2077? They’re great fiction and you get to be the main character. I was never a gamer, I would play here and there but could never play more than like an hour a day. Now? Especially the two games I mentioned, it blew my mind how much I could play those games. They’re excellent pieces of media.

Am I the only one that thought that walking animation looked…terrible? And for a cinematic trailer. So jittery and stiff. Or am I just trippin?

I actually don’t know what that is! I got all this knowledge working in the pet food industry. Vegetarian diets are such a bummer. Like, if you get an animal, it’s on you to adapt to their needs, not them adapting to your principles! I get that it’s hard for some vegans/vegetarians to handle meat—but in that case…don’t get an animal that needs it lol

There’s unfortunately so much misinformation, and a lot of it is pushed by the kibble companies. Did you know that most veterinarian schools are at least partially funded by purina, Iams, etc? The fact that most vets offices sell science diet for insane markups should be a huge tip off. So unfortunately the lies run deep. It’s not surprising so many people fall for it—like the myth that kibble cleans your pet’s teeth!? What poppycock! Do crackers and croutons clean our teeth? Hell no. And there is an enzyme in the saliva of dogs that actually turns the necessary starches to bind kibble into sugar. Hence the pandemic of tooth decay in so many.

Cats will actually eat until they get the necessary nutrients from their food, unlike us where we stop when we’re full, regardless of how good the food actually is. So a cat free feeding terrible food can become obese fairly easily.

Kibble is the absolute worst thing you can feed cats. It’s usually at least half fillers and binders. They’re obligate carnivores so raw meat or high quality canned food where it’s mostly meat with some hydrating broth or something is as good as it gets for them.

Guys, it’s possible for two things to be true at the same time. Hamas can be a brutal fundamentalist group that abuses and murders Palestinians while Israel commits genocide. Nuance needs to come back in fashion—or come back from the dead.

For silly reasons this would get a huge amount of play on /c/196@lemmy.blahaj.zone

Not to mention hell for your blender. Bones…aren’t exactly “puréeable.” Any blade would get dull pretty fast when going through human body parts.

Some people.

Just saying. That specific framing at this specific time? I know it’s a fairly common way of referencing the admin—for an NYT story. But it was just very, very telling for some random internet comment to call it that in reference to this situation at this time. It just seemed very much like showing the commenter’s hand. Subtle, but painfully apparent.

You think the cost of eggs has something to do with defense spending?

Also, when one country just straight up invades another, it can be pretty easy to choose which side is the aggressor and thus less worthy of support. But that’s just me.

I just want to point out how interesting it is that this comment called it the “Biden-Harris administration.” Interesting.

When you don’t wanna wake up? Everything is fucked up and everybody sucks?

I don’t think those are the ones you need to worry about—or, should I say, that are the more professional ones. The real ones are the ones who act like people, not businesses. You get random messages that say “hey! I lost my work phone and transferred the numbers, but I don’t remember whose number this is.” Or find a way to send a picture of a pretty girl and say, “remember me? We exchanged numbers a while ago!” Or some shit like that. I think those are the more effective and dangerous ones. I get a lot of those.

Thought the same thing

People were less educated back then. They didn’t realize that you were supposed to dig your heels in and the more opposition you get—from experts, humanists, caring volunteers who dedicate their lives to helping the disenfranchised people you hate—means you should only think what you think harder, louder, and more in everyone’s face. Crazy to see how far we’ve come.

It’s not that they are victims. They are just useful idiots whose idiotic idiot views aligned with the political goals of Russia.

That’s not what your mom said. She let me off with a warning.

A firm warning.

Nope. Gary, Indiana.

Ohmigod look at that chonky boi. Crazy to think we used to keep those in our pockets with wires running up to earbuds in our ears. How the times have changed.

Lucy was adorable and seems like she was a good dog—no, a great dog

~go for speed~

Is that like a class A misdemeanor
