Not just "don't care", people actively mock and deride those who try to spread awareness.

I think we all know how fucked up the meat industrial complex is, we just don't want to face it and feel guilty about the ease of access to something so nice.

Also not to mention the huuuge amounts of propganda by Big Meat

I'm genuinely asking - is this a joke comment? This is the literally the same thing Musk and Spez made for Twitter and Reddit.

People invested time into their communities here, many joining here after seeing the loads of discussions and admin posts stating their intention to defederate as little as possible. Supporting the use of defederation for creating echo chambers is silly af, I don't wanna deal with toxic fellas but I also don't want defederation without any legitimate basis.

People are allowed to give their opinions on discussions here, the server admins aren't supposed to be overlords like the big social media and their CEOs - that's the reason we all moved here.

Disappointing as fuck. You're defedarating based on ideological differences and a guess that they won't engage in good faith? And you're reaching that paltry conclusion after cherry picking posts?

Not to mention the posts you've shared aren't bad at all? They're literally asking their users to engage properly in a civil manner.

Big yikes man.

Perfectly ethical:

• Content that is Inaccessible legally such as old games, abandonware, delisted media, banned stuff etc.

• Digital copies of physical content you own

• Digital Content that you already own such as ebooks or movies, but are restricted access due to DRM or single-copy rules or other dumb stuff. If I paid for something I should have the right to access it however I want (as long as I don't distribute it)

Gray Area:

• Pirating work that benefits a publisher but not the creator. Movies, Shows, and Songs released by studios that exploited the creators of that material and not giving them a cent. This includes scientific work and research.

Oooh same. I just opened RiF the other day, and the front page is ..... yikes. Mostly the drama subs are trending and making it to front page - and almost all of them are ragebait fiction a la AITA, and most of the crowd seems to be teens? The teens are the majority.

It also seems the alternate subs are trending more - r/ask for r/askreddit, something called TwoHotTakes is trending more than UnpopularOpinion?

r/all is slightly better but still a crapfest lol

Thanks friendo. Your sacrifice is much appreciated

I suppose it depends on the nature of followers; plain friends and employee is fine, but simple fanatics are cringe - I actually don't mind fanatics who are well-developed. Unfortuantely simple fanatics are what seem to be the most common

Honestly I don't mind Harems themselves- some of them were a functionaly poly relationship (like Jobless Reincarnation). I just HATED how they are implemented because of the indecisiveness and pointlessness of the characters, lack of development and crappiness that favored extension of drama over resolution.

All the best with the novels for AoB and Jobless - there are legal channels and also the option to sail the high seas, whichever is easier for you.

Lol I get what you mean. Not to mention how every character is either a master plotter or an idiot who wears their hearts on their sleeves, becuase every interaction between these fellows must be an easy-to-digest nicelty wrapped up plot point.

Jobless' world is really one of my favs - it's a basic setting, but everything fits well together and the lore makes sense. and yes the characters! All of them are three-dimensional, and work together while not knowing every single feeling that the others are feeling.

A good translator is such a blessing - I only read some chinese webnovels till completion (all 1500-1800 chapters of them), because the translators were so passionate about it and it showed in their work. I started reading Death Mage btw, I'm not 100% into the story yet, but the translations are pretty nice.

I have mixed feelings about MTL. On one hand they are grating to read through, on another hand they're so rough you can fill in the gaps however you want. I kinda feel like the guy

Huh your description of Rhubarb reminds me of Gooseberries for some reason - though I imagine Gooseberries are much sourer - but the way you use them is kinda similar. We use honey or syrup to sweeten gooseberries for drinks and making candies, but have never them for pies.

Thanks for the recipe, It does look delicious. Summer's almost done on our side of the globe, so this'll probably be a recipe for a bit later - or when one of those irregular humid days come by. God you're so right about watermelons though - biting into one when you're dehydrated is exhilarating. Watermelon + Pineapple combo is uber.

Hahaha taking a jolly festival and converting it into a cultist horror seems like a trope at this point

I have this one memory in my mind - sitting on a bench by a lake, a mini glass bottle of a mango drink, a packet of potato chips in one hand and a book in the other, enjoying the breeze as a listen to the waters of the lake splash gently while I savour the snacks and indulge in the book. That remains one of my most peaceful reminiscence to date, and I have not been able to recreate it for so looong ugh. Hammock + book is a close second though.

Have you tried Kindle or E-Ink tablet for reading? Beats the sun ezpz

Oh no need to worry, the cost is far far away from my place. The people who would be affected have long been evacuated and are in shelters. Cyclone is receding now and people are returning back to their homes. The most we feel here in my town is the cold weather and unusual rains. It even hailed here the other day - which was cool, I've only seen hail once or twice in my life.

Please God, I beg you all to do this. I mean no disrespect to y'all at all.

I have been using a bidet/health faucet/Jet spray all my life. I was so shocked and disgusted when I found out people in the west used toilet paper 🤢🤢

I've used toilet paper a few times in emergencies and I've regretted it everytime. The difference between water and paper in cleaning your butt is so vast.

Awesome dude. I'm coming to know that I've missed a lot of good webtoons and manhwa, just because they aren't popular on reddit. So let me know if you find any good ones

I first read Manhwa in the era that it was almost Manga - black-and-white art, japanese af tropes, etc. At that time Manhwas and Korean webnovels were even worse than the Chinese ones imo (atleast the ones I've encountered), which put me off manhwa for a long time - something I now regret, as I would've loved some of the better works when I was younger.

It is always about having money and women in the most edgy way possible an sooo much revenge

OH MY GOD I HATED THIS SO MUCH. There is no depth of character. Every romance was a woman falling for a guy because he was strong or bc he killed someone. I remember reading a line that deadass went "People feel elated when they are safe and others are suffering in front of them. It is human nature to enjoy the superiority". UGH

The Gamer was the first Manhwa that I liked! I dropped it around season 3-4 when it went stale, but I loved reading it. Gamer-theme has because way too common these days imo. They're Korean isekai basically.

I agree with you - Almost every manhwa that has a woman protag has better writing in general.

I don't mind the backgrounds and 3D stuff as much, but you're so right about the horses. Every horse I've seen in a manhwa has a nightmare face haha

Comedy: Greatest Estate Developer, Eleceed

Action/Adventure: Reformation of the Deadbeat Noble, Epic of Gilgamesh

Coming-of-age: Spirit Fingers, Cursed Princess Club

I never thought I'd do it - but I have gotten into Manhwa and Webtoons. Woof.

I generally had a negative opinion on korean and chinese webnovels and comics, since they are usually edgy as hell and every character in these works is a hypocritical piece of shit who betrays others for the slightest gain.

I was right in a way, this was only because the main audience at the time for webcomics and novels were teens and edgy/shallow one-dimensional stuff brought in more views and money. However, these audiences have grown up and thankfully matured, so now the works that are getting translated are much more nicer and tasteful.

I've found some masterpieces, but there's still a lot of edgy-but-kinda-ok stuff in there - which I'm also consuming because I'm emotionally exhausted lately and junk like this helps wade it all

I just discovered Cassiopeia the other day.

To be honest they're not my completely my jam, but they do have a unique sound
