Funny how Russia’s own lies and myths of being the biggest and strongest around feeds other myths when their lies get exposed.

Looks to me like the branches are making a sort of cup right there. Technically the rearmost branch would be the main trunk, but it’s only slightly thicker than the other three branches, which are strangely all extending at the same height on the trunk— either a mutation or a response to damage when it was younger, I think.

I don’t think that’s a good framing of it, because it makes them “other” and not a mistake you could possibly make.

They were hurt. They were ashamed. And a scapegoat made that pain less. That’s a very human reaction, I think we can all succumb to that balm sometimes. You lose your job, it’s not your fault, these other guys are to blame. It’s a defense mechanism, it can save your sanity in a time of extreme emotional turmoil.

And it can also lead to horrible, horrible things. And people need to know that, and be careful of it. Because if you don’t actively fight it, it’s an easy default thing to do.

And that’s terrifying.

Yeah, that’s definitely an older generation problem.

The use case of Reddit/lemmy is entirely different from Twitter/x/mastodon. In Reddit/lemmy, there’s a topic of interest, and people chime in. In Twitter/etc, there’s people of interest, and they discuss topics.

I don’t care who is talking, I just want to talk about stuff. So the twitter style has zero interest for me.

Mind your tenses. Will die, not have died.

I’m amazed people do this. I… don’t? I don’t have enough time in my life to watch the shows I like and genuinely want to watch, why would I sit and suffer through something I hate?

But the comments are filled with people saying they do exactly that. So obviously it happens. I just don’t get it.

A boy and his blob. They made a modern sequel which lost a main gameplay component— puzzling out the puns for the various abilities, or at least making a hand written lookup chart. Just telling you that a punch jellybean makes a hole isn’t quite the same.

I’ve never had a honeydew that wasn’t delicious. Granted that I’ve been out of the states a few years now… is this like the red delicious apple where it used to be good, but farmers have bred the deliciousness out of them to look better aesthetically?

No, dogs know what a dog is, and also what a not-dog is. They clearly make distinctions, behave differently towards different things, and so on. They are neither as dumb as some people think, nor as smart as other people think.

Cats too, by the way, despite some claims to the contrary out there. Neither dogs nor cats act with the same behaviors they use with others of their species as they do with others of other species.

Man, I was a Potter fan for years. But the reviews and analysis that I’ve seen of this game mark it as casually and unrepentantly antisemitic… not as a side thing, but core to the main plot and central to what you do in the game. I don’t think I can handle that.

My friends and I played this a lot when I was little. Spent hours on it. The extremely extremely limited ammo system hasn’t been used much since— probably for good reason. The controls weren’t the greatest either, iirc.
