Why are you here? What is this for?

Now I feel weird because the discussions here are great, in depth, and nuanced, but the way I feel about this is kinda boring and uncomplicated? Am I missing something?

If I'm playing a customized character that I made, I prefer characters to be playersexual, allowing custom relationships to match my custom character.

If I'm playing as a written character and experiencing a set story, it is better for all characters to be written well, and have realistic sexualities, as part of the story presented.

As far as representation goes, I think both can have problems, but neither are inextricably problematic.

If I had a nickle for everytime there was a chess scandal and some media site reported that someone (allegedly) cheated with bluetooth anal beads, I could buy some bluetooth anal beads and win a chess tournament

I hope they post about this post about their post about hexbear's post about their post. Then a real discussion can start.

In minecraft, if you wanna mine some iron, you punch a tree, use the wood to slap out a wooden pickaxe, grab some stone with it, then make a stone pickaxe, and you can mine it.

In vintage story you can't mine rock until you have a pickaxe, the lowest level of which is copper. You have to knap stone tools from rocks you find on the ground, and you can't make wood into planks until you have a saw (also needs metal). To get started with metalworking you have to explore and find copper bits sitting on the ground untill you have a lot, make crucibles and molds out of clay and fire them in a pit kiln, burn wood into charcoal in a pit (because wood doesn't burn hot enough to melt copper), and then you can melt and pour your copper into a mold. Do that with a pickaxe head mold, put it on a stick, and now you can mine stone. Then go find some more metals and do that some more because to mine iron you actually need a bronze pickaxe.

Hexbear comes here to be the debate bros they try so hard to dunk on. They are dying looking for just one little morsel of dunk. Not a good showing, not a leftist unity moment lmao

I really disagree. For learning lemmy for average people, big instance is best.

There is a point where people who stick around are likely to make a new "real" account on a different smaller server, after they know what they want to browse.

Basically big instances should be like training wheels.

Not from the bacteria's perspective

Also each of them resists different type of foods better. Wax paper will hold up to wet food, and parchment paper holds up better to oily food.

This is not anything I can prove just personal experience so take it with a grain of salt

And they have the audacity to claim it is an issue of "making labels too confusing for consumers".

They could always fold fees into the overall price, but that would be counterproductive to their real goal: lying about the price in advertising.

the lemmy.world admins specifically fell for it, since they did block this community.
