People liked to hate on reddit for it devolving into that. But the opposite extreme was Tildes which was all text based. Fediverse is thriving though which is the closest to reddit. Yes, comments will be like reddit. Pick and choose when people are open for discussion.
Puns and Memes will always be top content for a reason. Most people are looking for a quick 15 minute distraction, not a book club.
I’m pretty sure I got stuck on some Samson quest in that game for like two years before I found some guide telling me what to do?
Kinda reminds me of Wild Arms 2 and a puzzle toward the end about days of the week but it was some bad Japanese translation or some shit?
Stuff like that is just killer.
Having to go through all 9999? Combinations for Star Tropics because you were too poor to buy the game with a booklet for original DRM is up there.
Yeah perpetual royalties are a nonsense slippery slope. People are pushing for it in all the wrong ways wanting a piece of the pie from the higher ups when in reality the way the money flows just needs to be altered.
Bridge and road crews don’t get to get a penny every time someone drives over stuff.
Creation does not mean benefit in perpetuity. It means you created something. You should be paid properly for it, yes, but it doesn’t mean every time someone mentions your book you get a penny from them lol.
Melancholy Elephants was a great Hugo Award short story about this very thing written in 1983. It’s a great read for those who want to go in a bit blind. http://spiderrobinson.com/melancholyelephants.html
How the hell do you spoiler tag on Kbin? lol
Great. Their CEO can make $2,000,000 / year and the rest $100,000 capping their maximum pay at 20x their lowest paid employee.
Either everyone needs to get royalties or nobody does.
Pay your voice actors right the first time instead of paying them shit per line. Or if your video game becomes an astounding success, all 1,000 people get a slice of that 100,000,000 million it made in sales via residuals. A cool $100,000 for everyone!
Don’t forget to advocate for yourself even if you have a union. Nobody ever gets paid more by saying nothing.
This shit ain’t hard and people have been working on it for ages. Besides, dairy is a VERY small percent of total greenhouse gas emissions. No, milk doesn’t leach hormones into you. No, extra steroids and shit for feed doesn’t hurt anyone except MAYBE the actual farmer. Yes, better feed options are getting much more attention which lower N20 emissions. It’s a shame I killed my reddit comments because I’ve had to have this conversation at least 40+ times over there lol.
The U.S. dairy industry is responsible for less than 2 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions in the country. U.S. dairy, per gallon, has the lowest carbon footprint of any country in the world.

The dairy industry aims to be carbon neutral by 2050. Here’s what it means for farms
Of all GHG emission processes, the most studied and best under-stood is that of enteric CH4 emission. As illustrated, this is normally the largest GHG source on dairy farms.A need still exists for better understanding of dietary effects, and particularly for the effects of feed addi-tives that reduce CH4 production. Because this is a large GHG source, feed additives and diet may provide the greatest opportunity for mitigating dairy farm emissions and reducing the carbon footprint of milk.Relatively little is known about enteric N 2O emissions;this appears to be a small and relatively unimportant source, but more data are needed over a broad range in diets to ensure that a better model of this source is not needed.

The U.S. Dietary Guidelines has a few surprises – one of which was that children ages 4 to 18 are not eating the recommended daily intake of dairy products.

Want alternatives and reasons why dairy is important? There’s a reason why being Vegan is so much more difficult than giving eggs, dairy, and fish a pass lol.

I’d argue it’s actually further in the opposite direction. I don’t really think it’s an unpopular position either when put to the test.
Humans like to qualify our soul with what essentially amounts to sapience. When do we become unique?
I’ll be having another kid soon. Those first few months after birth they may as well still be in the womb for as much human understanding they have going on. While there is some, it’s less human and more animal instinct. You really don’t see true uniqueness come through until a year or longer. Let alone going the eugenics route where people agree being born without a brain or similar bouts of very removed cognitive function.
Why we give more more rights to a bundle of cells barely different than any other animal that young, over the 1-2 fully sapient parents that are LITERALLY part of the child. The mom even greater so during pregnancy, is right out.
What people don’t like hearing, is that we are beholden to our biology. We grow attached to a fetus or baby before they become truly human and unique.
And it’s good and just to provide all three parties protection. Because the bonds we form with family don’t have to be strictly human. But providing more protection to a possible future entity with no current true will, with humanity in only the strictest genetic sense at that moment, and no sapience, over a mom, is insanity.
The way our laws and society work requires arbitrary lines in the sand though. This is why we apply liberal margins of safety to catch most everything on the bell curve. Rather than legislating using outliers and extremes as the norm like Republicans like to pretend are issues.
So many points of the topic are tried using the strictest sense of biological definitions like reflexes of a fetus, but completely ignore stuff like imprinting for the parents. Because in reality those protections for the fetus are also humanizing the parents loss if something happens. No parent wants to hear ope, try for another. So many try and try and unfortunately entropy is a bitch.
