Catra would never try to use the power of friendship to pay off gambling debt. She'd either cheat at gambling so as to win big, or she'd run up a bunch of debt and then leave Scorpia holding the bag, with the possible long-term consequence of having to burn down the casino.

- hold a grudge against anyone you perceive to have wronged you for the rest of your life - teach your offspring and all your friends to do the same

Republicans wouldn't deport Jesus, they'd crucify him a second time.

Many block .ml comms as well as it being under a boycott. It's also why I crossposted it The below will explain why: ::: spoiler Why am I cross-posting .ml? I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms. Megathread on the issue Some highlights from the link: "Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167 "See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342 .ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 - CW: Original transphobic Comment from Nutomic "NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035 General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510 "If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415 And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long. I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team. :::

Nah, the correct answer is "You don't LOOK autistic."

People like this be out there drawing or ai generating bullshit like this full steam ahead, meanwhile I have very many potentially worthwhile ideas I seem categorically unable to even attempt

Would you mark NSFW please?

You raise a lot of good points. But for me, it was better in that there was still a lot of hope to go around. Things generally seems on the up and up. Technology was getting better. This new Internet thing was getting better and faster. The economy was getting better. The government still enforced anti-trust laws. We (the US) weren't at war. Climate change still seemed very fixable. We were dealing with the hole in the ozone and acid rain, we'll deal with everything else! The scientists will figure it out. Now it just feels like the world is going to shit and there's nothing we can do. Even when "good" things happen, it feels more like we've only "slowed down" a bit as we continue careening toward the cliff. We're past, like, all the points of no return for the climate. Corporate power feels unstoppable. Open corruption is rampant and normalized throughout the world's governments. The major powers are arming themselves and not cooperating. World War 3 is scheduled for 2027 if it doesn't happen before then. And the response to COVID showed that our systems and infrastructure are balanced like a house of cards. So maybe the y-value was lower in the 90s, but the curve definitely felt like it was sloping upward. Now we're past the peak.
