Goah this saddens me. I barely got to enjoy this summer at all x_x Mostly due to fucked up weather, it was fucking bipolar where I live (cold rain -> huge heat -> cold rain etc.). Thanks global warming.

It's not that I like summer per se. I like summer activities which are unaccesible out of summer xD Swimming in the sea/lake, SUP board, summer night walkies in the forest, wearing short clothing without being cold and, mostly, low amounts of rain not holding me hostage inside home. Not this year tho ._.

Spring and autumn can bite my ass.

Winter opens it's own fun activities, altho I am not as much a fan.

All I know are black companies where staff dies from exhaustion lol.

On the other hand company cannot fire you easily and they do have special rooms for workers they wanna let go, with menial and useless jobs assigned to basically force you into quitting.

Also quitting is so socially frowned upon that people hire other people to handle that for them.

My girl studies architecture, meanwhile I am IT dropout. Guess with whom does the cashier at every single shop with building materials try to talk to the point of ignorong her?

I tolerate it but one time almost blew when female cashier ignored when my partner asked a question, instead looking at me for questions. Ffs.

Soooo...yeah, morality is simple. Do least harm. Easy as that.

I got so tired with trying the "rules for thee but not for me" approach of every single group to morality that something snapped and I began to follow idea law=moral code. It took years for me to go back to trying to figure out morality.

In the end I gave up lol. We all have to judge ourselves, because the moment we offload figuring it out to anyone else they are gonna bend it so it works for themselves. ^^

Even if not and each click generates warning or pushes shit down in feed the end effect will be the same because posters will use it like that.

...shoes off the couch, lady! >_<

At best it’s encouraging sexual attraction to something that doesn’t exist

Which is literally xenophilia. People want to bonk with weird shit all the time - look at all the cases of people needing to be cut out of exhaust pipes or objects stuck in ass or vagina. Deviancy is normal, even if we all have different levels of it. That was the main part that made the xenophilia explanation work for me. Is xenophilia bad? Honestly not for me to judge, as it hurts no one and is pretty much unexplored when it comes to morality as we, kinda, never met any aliens in the first place. At least not en masse, if we try to keep open mind to conspiracy theories ;p

People want to bonk Transformers and we just give them weird look and carry on. People want to frick Cthulu and again, get weird look and carry on. I am of opinion furries also qualify there - they want to bonk something that doesn't exist. Give a weird look and carry on.

and at worst those things that don’t exist look like a cross between humans who do exist and animals who do exist and that could cause people to fall on the wrong size of that actual animals part.

Yeah, I get ya there. But also there is a well documented thing of furries staying vigilant and hunting down actual zoophiliacs in the fandom. If someone gets too close to actual animal sex art, even if said animal is suggested to be sentient, fandom tends to implode on them and report them, which supports the idea they draw a very clean line between themselves and zoophilia. Which again supports the xenophilia claim.

About the guy you mentioned, I'm actually willing to bet he had nothing to do with furries. If furries were connected to zoophiliacs it would be mentioned more - people love attacking associated stuff and furries already have a huge target on their back. But almost every single time I saw an article about caught zoophiliac, it was a case of peanut butter and deviant curiosity with no moral brakes.

Heck, I have a furry friend, and while teasing him for shit and giggles once I wrangled the topic into more serious rails and it pretty much resulted in him saying he is still fully attracted to humans (and as dude is hetero, specifically women), it's just that he likes the aesthetic. Similiar to catgirls, basically, just taken into full alien mode. I believe it's safe to assume this applies to most furries - they are still attracted to humans rather than animals, they just like said humans having weird traits, basically not being vanilla. Which makes these furrsonas actual xenos rather than animals. Which supports xenophilia claim.

Which is still weird but not morally wrong, so there's nothing wrong with letting them be. Althought they could actually try to minimalize the porn overflow T-T

Eh.

Kinda with you on that one. Never understood furries and with their porn/erotica overflow on the internet them saying "it's not a sex thing!" seems pathetic. Especially that this is popular enough to breed a joke about struggling artist giving into the dark side of furry porn.

That being said, the best (and only sensible) way it was explained to me is that they perceive it more like xenophilia rather than anything close to actual animals. They perceive these chars more like aliens rather than animals crunched into human form.

Still feels iffy but I grasp them better with that explanation. Helps that they actively hunt down zoophiliacs in their fandom so there must be some meat on that explanation.

Same opinion honestly, free speech with free consequences of it community-wise. If you're an asshole, be an asshole but if people start avoiding you or straight up telling you to shut up it's a you-problem.

And while on internet many folk became quite intolerant of different opinions, on lemmy especially it's visible as the whole fedi is built around smaller, tighter knit communities. Which is cool, and I love it but it does tend to create echo chambers and skew perception of norm.

For sure. That coupled with lemmings being very pro foss and anti-company and some genuinely being simply old and cranky. But the comments try to paint the whole series as something only bad and...reality just doesn't agree xD

Sheeesh ya all are downers league. I mean, I agree with OP's meme it would be hella funny but over all, ya all sound like cranky old people xD

GTA is what it is. Either you like it or not. I loved how GTA V openly jested at the, back then recent, climate and the game itself was also enjoyable, if a bit grindey money-wise. But all in all, formula works and if they keep it up, the game will be at the very least good.

In short: Nerds got out-populated lol.

Everyone has a learning treshold. Nerds have it higher, normies lower. So the ratio of what's popular shifts with the ratio of nerds. xD

Horse will mock your sorry ass. Throw that at camel and see where it gets ya xD

Being too innocent for this world is the first for me lol. I assumed that due to first comment, why else call her slut?

Damn. Feels weird to be the naive/innocent one for once. xD

I wanted to point out cheating is straight up evil. Then got back to image and checked...nowhere there is info about her being married. Or any other context.

And no, didn't want to support dehumanisation, just point out calling a cheater slut isn't that shocking, regardless of sex. But we don't even have context for that lol.

Meh, just archaic. In ye olde times it wasn't gay to fuck, it was gay to be fucked. Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, modern times Turkey, etc.

I've read about it and iirc, it's wasn't even official mission. It was just pilots goofing off and dropping a training bomb, without command approval.

...I mean, cars ended up better too. Hella lot more clarity after.

Lol. I am liking your posts 'cause you provide much needed whiplash among dominantly politic content, so thanks xD
