Maybe Ukraine shouldn't have been dressed so provocatively.

Twitter is threatening to sue Meta over Threads | Semafor
This seems like a pretty heavy lift for Twitter and while I hardly support Meta, if Twitter somehow manages to win sole ownership of the concept of microblogs it would be bad for everyone.

Nexus Mods Fine With Bigots Leaving Over Removed Starfield ‘Pronoun’ Mod
Reply in thread
Because the mod itself is intended as a form of political grandstanding. So that bigots can download it thousands of times and then hold it up and say 'look how many people are modding the woke out of BG3' in an attempt to discourage inclusive content in other titles.

Interesting that bigots are so insecure in their bigotry that they require it to be externally validated. How pitiful.

Here's the thing. Her business isn't real. There is no "wedding website" business model and the person she alleged asked her to make a website for his gay wedding is straight and has been married to a woman for 15 years. This entire sham business exists for the sole purpose to get the court to rule against Colorado's anti-discrimination laws.

It's the shadiest anti-cheat on the market with a very troubled history. It was enough on its own to make me reconsider buying the game.

Reddit CEO slams protesters, calls them “landed gentry”
So these votes are going to be done by the people who haven't left reddit in protest and if those of us who have left in protest come back to vote in the polls, reddit will claim that outsiders are brigading the votes so the sub will be reopened. There is no situation where a community vote to remain closed will be respected by the site owners.

Pressure at those depths is terrifying, but at least there isn't any doubt of the outcome. Being lost with no evidence would be far harder on the families.

EA confirms The Sims 5 will be free-to-play and co-exist alongside The Sims 4
Reply in thread
I am cautiously hopeful for Life By You. My favorite thing in the Sims was to set up crazy soap opera dramas and see what happens, but Sims 4 sims are so docile and boring, it feels a lot more like just playing with dolls and decorating the house. I'm not judging if that's the part you like, but it's just not for me.

New files shed light on ExxonMobil’s efforts to undermine climate science
Reply in thread
It's not an exaggeration to say that millions, if not billions of people will die because of the actions of ExxonMobil. Those responsible should be prosecuted and imprisoned.

Went and invited people on 2 subreddits to kbin/lemmy/beehaw.. I got flamed BIG time..
Why in the world would anyone want to stay on a site with people like that? Good riddance to that crowd. I understand that some people may be afraid of losing what they have in reddit and lash out at a perceived threat to that, but they just don't realize that they have already lost what made reddit special. It's never going back to what it once was and over time it will diminish further as more and more people get tired of the same low-effort commentary over and over again with fewer and more overworked moderators eventually closing communities because it's just not worth it anymore. It won't happen overnight, but slowly, unless spez decides to go full Elon on the site, which wouldn't surprise me.

Eating meat creates four times more greenhouse gases than being vegan, landmark study finds
Reply in thread
I would describe myself as vegetarian but there is a wide variety of ways to be strict about it so it's almost a useless way to describe oneself. Personally, I avoid cheese because of rennet, wine because of eisenglass, I won't eat anything with gelatin, i avoid eggs unless they come from my friends who have chickens (because I know their chickens are well cared for). I end up being close to vegan but don't really feel like that label fits me because I'm sure I eat butter without realizing it, or other milk products which can end up in places you don't expect (milk is in tootsie rolls, for example).
On the other hand I know vegetarians who just avoid meat and are fine with chicken or beef stock or gelatin.
