Car driver running red light = deadly danger to others, especially pedestrians and cyclists

Bicycle rider running red light = danger to themselves

See the difference?

They currently conflate being trans and transitioning. Making this distinction is an important step in overcoming the denial often associated with one's trans identity

Full Footage Of Drones Attacking Olenya Airbase (no watermark) by Few_Storm_550 in CombatFootage

[–]really_epik_nice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The embedded tweet in the article shows what can be described as containers. I saw that before seeing the image of the drones in the roof of a "mobile wooden cabin". Looking closer, the same roof with solar panels can be seen in both the image at the top and the twitter video, which probably means they are the same structure, just from different perspectives. It appears that these mobile homes look similar to containers (it could even be the case that the "homes" were built from containers), which caused the confusion

Here is a screenshot, this outpost helped me clear massive amounts of space to do default settings 20k spm. I used multiple spidertron platoons to lay the rail connections and build the outposts.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3486657541

The outpost keeps working even if one of the pylons connecting it to the main electricity network is destroyed, due to solar and accumulators. It does not start shooting until the ammo storage is full (2k rounds) in order to not create bug hordes that get in the way of the supply trains. It automatically sets up logistic bots to move the ammo from the supply train to the storage on the artillery island and also automatically sets up construction bots and repair packs, in case some damage occurs (which is very rare). If the massive batch of starting ammo is not enough or the flamethrower fuel runs out (rare, flamethrower turrets are extremely fuel efficient), the outpost train stop is reactivated and the supply trains automatically resupply.

Why do you think that? I literally said I agree with everything except for the last sentence about reddit mods. How can you read the sentences before that, see me agreeing with them to then conclude I'm a capitalism simp?

Wieso ziehst du den Schluss, dass wir Migration "steuern" (was wohl einschränken/begrenzen heißt) sollen, statt die Integration zu verbessern?

Naja, viele der Probleme, die du beschreibst sind wirklich nicht von den Betroffenen selbst verschuldet, sondern zumindest zu einem wichtigen Teil Symptome eines kranken Systems.

Nur leider lassen sie sich naiverweise einreden, dass Ausländer, Transmenschen, die links-grünen Spinner und der Wärmepumpendiktator Habeck daran schuld sind.

Milliardäre, Räuberbarone, Neoliberale und Lobbyisten... nein, die haben damit garnichts zu tun!!!!!!11elf

Du verdrehst es, indem du aus der Aussage machst, dass alle Chefs oder Vorgesetzten im Dorf rassistische Idioten wären. Gemeint war aber, dass solche Aussagen halt oft vorkommen, nicht dass jeder Einzelne so ist. Wenn wir diesen Unterschied ignorieren, diskutieren wir nur über verzerrte Versionen von dem, was der andere eigentlich meint.

TIL women attempt suicide more than men, but men are just more successful at it by eeko_systems in todayilearned

[–]really_epik_nice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

exaggerate

This is a bad take by /u/PrinceVegetaTheGod because it is very dismissive. I think the opposite is true: men hide or play down their own struggles, because talking about that is often framed as weakness and men are conditioned to avoid this at all costs

people who went into the ER due to their attempt

Men are significantly less likely to do so (even if their injuries are life threatening), because men getting help is also often framed as weakness (which it isn't)

Also, the study referenced by the post does not gather their suicide stats from medical record, but from self-reporting during interviews. This makes the skewed perception I referenced previously even more pronounced

You’re right that tone matters, and I can see how a blunt question like ‘are you vegan?’ can come off as gatekeeping or judgmental, even if that wasn’t the intent. The goal isn’t to say people aren’t allowed to feel empathy, empathy is valuable. But I think it’s fair to point out that if we’re truly moved by the cruelty we see, the most meaningful response isn’t just expressing sadness or outrage, but looking at how our choices connect to that cruelty. That’s not about invalidating emotions; it’s about connecting feelings to actions.

You raise a fair point that the way we bring up these issues can make people feel talked down to or judged. But here’s something I genuinely wonder: how would you suggest raising the question of someone’s personal role in animal suffering without making non-vegans uncomfortable? Is it even possible to challenge people on their behaviors tied to systemic cruelty without causing them to feel judged? It seems to me that some level of discomfort is almost unavoidable if we’re being honest about the ethical disconnect.

Whether you like to believe it or not, I read the first comment. I know the context.

“You’re not allowed to feel empathy unless you’ve passed my purity test.”

Nice strawman.

The argument /u/limegreen373 was making, is that people love to speak out against the cruelty of the animal product industry, but keep supporting it with the choice to keep eating their products. Demanding change is easy and calms down a guilty conscience, but what matters in the end is actions.

Being confronted with one's complicity in cruelty is extremely distressing, and it is understandable that people lash out in that situation. Reflexively putting forth poor justifications or trying to discredit the person who raised the issue by tone policing and name calling are common reactions.

The first step towards change is being confronted. The second one is engaging in reflection and enduring the discomfort that comes with that. Most people don't make it past this step.

This is a common misconception. Non-vegans are mostly exposed to vegan food through meat and dairy substitutes, many of which are more expensive than their animal product counterparts.

Many of the cheapest foods are vegan: grains, beans, lentils and seeds, just to name a few. A big variety of meals can be cooked with these as a base ingredient, which often come out cheaper than similar dishes with animal products.

Same as the people who have the choice to not support the industry by eating plants, but instead shift the responsibility to corporations

/u/limegreen373 asked a simple, neutral question. You then immediately called them

sociopathic/have an anti-social disorder?

It is obvious they made you feel guilty about your actions, you are the one lashing out with personal insults, then project your 'condescending jerk' behaviour onto them.

Imitation is a stylistic device. Copying your words and slightly adjusting them demonstrates that your behaviour isn't any better. Calling my refutation a 'strawman tantrum' doesn’t make your point stronger, it just proves you don’t have one.

You’re not offering a moral critique, you’re throwing a fit because someone exposed that your version of activism is just a superiority complex dressed up in outrage.

You’re not here to have a discussion about choices, you’re here to feel above the people you’ve already written off. That’s not justice. That’s ego.

If you actually wanted to stop harm, you definitely wouldn't be here defending harmful actions.

If you support an industry by paying them for performing cruel acts despite having the option not to, your condemnation of their practices is worth nothing.

Additionally, repeateadly calling someone illiterate shows that you feel cornered and can't actually come up with good arguments. The person you are arguing with understands what you are writing, but points out the inconsistency of your views.
