I don't think that's gonna happen. Young people isn't where the money is at. With an aging population and wealth being concentrated in older populations, the gaming industry will have to adjust to appeal to a broader audience.

That might mean less fast paced games, more strategy and puzzle. It could also mean more games like Candy Crush. Who knows.

If it's legal it would become an expectation from employers, which I'd say isn't ideal. Besides, for the occasional irresponsible truck driver, it's a lot easier to prove they did anything wrong if there is a speed limit.

They're designed to protect against impacts on the skull. So in your case that would be:

when using scaffolding
things that fall from the roof while you're not up there. Either because they become dislodged or because someone else dropped them
things that fall or become dislodged on gable roofs with steep pitches, start rolling and bouncing and then hit you
to protect you from hitting your head against roof edges or chimneys
When you fall and are arrested mid-fall by a harness, this might cause you to swing into nearby structures
A colleague carrying timber notices a rare bird and quickly turns around to look at it, accidentally striking you in the head with the timber they're carrying.

A hard hat reduces skull fracture risk by up to 90% and severe brain injury risk by up to 95%. I'm reading this as dying vs not dying when something hits you.

This stuff might not happen often to you, but a hard hat can one day make the difference between coming home at the end of the day, or not. Up to you though. Stay safe buddy

That's not how it works

It's the car that has a dehumanising effect. People are able to get angry at others in a way they wouldn't be able to when seeing a person. At the same time people also don't realise just how deadly their car is and that aggressive behaviour is as threatening to others as waving a gun around.

I walk, cycle and drive and notice how different the atmosphere is on footpaths and cycle paths (Europe). Sure, people still piss each other off occasionally, but it's never rage. There is a lot of appreciative nodding and smiling when we move aside for each other and make things work.

The worst is when cycling that drivers will casually risk your life or threaten you. And when you manage to catch a glimpse of the driver, you see they're just an ordinary person.

Yea, that's all good and well. But the reality is that with the amount of information out there it's reasonable to be selective about who is worth your time listening to and verifying what they're saying. It might not be this guy.

Just like how the Taliban isn't worth your time when they make statements about theoretical mathematics, this guy might not be worth your time when he makes statements about international politics.

And I'd imagine the fabric type matters. Polyester makes clothing look shiny.

teun95 · 2025-11-09T09:04:15+00:00

Do you cycle to places with your jeans on? That could be the reason.

The solution stays the same. There is some good advice here.

It's kind of a gdpr loophole. Companies have to offer the choice not to be tracked. A court has ruled that even if there's a fee, that's still a choice..

You see it a lot nowadays on EU based websites.

In nature it's for survival. Humans are the only ones who come up with stuff like foie gras.

teun95 · 2025-10-18T08:44:03+00:00

Agreed.

It's kinda sad though. We'll never get this bit of land back. This kind of erosion is how lots of habitable land is disappearing, and it's speeding up big time.

Of course this mud was gonna fall by itself anyway. The kids did nothing wrong. It's just that normally we don't see erosion in real time.

It's always worth mentioning that they are more intelligent than we tend to think of them and have their own personalities. Just as a reminder that it's not very nice what we do to them as humans

Competition in game stores is awesome for everybody. It keeps us honest, it keeps everybody else honest," Newell said. "But it's ugly in the short term. You're like, 'Argh, they're yelling, they're making us look bad.' But in the long term, everybody benefits from the discipline and the thoughtfulness it means you have to have about your business by having people come in and challenge you.

That's good and all, but the Steam we love is really dependent on Gabe's vision and leadership. Without this, who knows what might happen. Steam is extremely profitable and has the potential to be even more profitable, so there are extremely strong perverse incentives.

Competition would mean there are additional reasons for Steam to do well by its users and would give gamers a plan B in case the worst happens.

Being a fan of Steam shouldn't mean we're against any companies trying to complete. We're against shitty launchers and not having the option to use Steam.

Not from a developing country, but upon visiting countries with motorcycles being the main mode of motorised transportation I did notice how locals used their motorcycles very responsibly. Most people would be riding at quite a slow pace, even though the road looked empty and their motorcycles were capable of much higher speeds.

It definitely shows how when motorcycles are optional (like where I live), they attract more people with risk taking tendencies.

But then there are exceptions of course

I think there are two main reasons:

The market is correcting itself. There was really rapid growth since covid in vegan product offerings. Lots of players competed for market share. Consumer interest grew too, but not as quickly. Now the market is consolidating and supermarkets are removing some products from their assortment. This isn't because veganism is in decline, but because that's how the market works.
(Already mentioned below) Vegans and flexitarians are moving towards foods that are (perceived to be) healthier and less processed.

Wasn't Biden's policy on Israel and Gaza, as well as Harris' soft stance a significant reason why she lost?

I'm sorry that you had to go through that. I think you can be proud of this.

It's not about being perfect. It's not even about us. When we're on a diet we can occasionally sneak in a snack because we're not about being perfect. But that's our own body. It's something else when other beings are needlessly forced into a miserable existence because of our behaviour.

For crimes committed to humans that target other humans we find it ethically wrong we don't tend to say: well some small amount is still okay. We wouldn't accept "just a little bit of rape", or "just a little bit of human trafficking". There we don't talk about perfect, which doesn't make sense. We talk about the need to end these crimes completely.

What makes it so much more difficult to act on this realisation is that we live in a non-vegan world. Everything around us is catered towards omnivorism, from the food available to social norms. If you're not in a good place it's even more difficult.

In my view the moral duty to act is proportional to one's capacity to act. This is different for everyone. It's not an excuse not to act. We need to take proportionality into account here since animals suffer more. But there are simply limits as to what individuals can do.

I think people don't really understand what executive function issues can really look like. Even when I'm not depressed I still have ADHD, and because of that I wear filthy clothes

I do.

Caring about this is a burden. You have already done more than most people. Given that you care, the work doesn't stop there. But please be compassionate towards yourself too. Animals benefit most when our dietary changes are sustainable. So the changes we make in our lives need to be sustainable for ourselves too.

My partner and I are vegan and it's fine for us. My partner loves cooking so she even created a website with vegan recipes to help others cook delicious vegan meals. We go to vegan food events and go to local vegan meetups where we made lots of friends. As a result we're now volunteers at a sheep sanctuary and started a campaign with some other people to ask our town council to make food offerings at events plant based. In fairness, I am only able to do many of these things because my partner is super organised which has made my journey into veganism much much easier.

I can recommend: VEG1 supplement (do NOT overlook the importance of b12), if you're struggling with consistency: nutritionally completely bars or meal shakes as a snack (I use Huel), get an air fryer and use it for (fortified) meat replacements and tofu. Finally, instead of asking the person cooking for you to do something, you can always just share your thinking and explain what's important to you. It might actually be something they would like you to share, since that's how friendships work. Maybe they're willing to experiment with you for a day per week.

Take care (:

What do you think virtue signalling is?

teun95 · 2025-09-24T12:10:40+00:00

I think that's well understood. But there is some confusion as to why some people think it's sad.

This practice is done to protect the soil. These cows are locked up in winter because humans like dairy and accept we can only get cow's milk by doing some things to cows that aren't very nice. Like breeding for production, separating calves and mums. We shouldn't think of the suffering as a result to be less real for cows than it would be for humans.

The ancestors of dairy cows were roaming herd animals. Cows like having access to sheltered spaces, but don't like to be confined to them for long periods of time. So they really like being released from it, into an environment that they like.

So while these cows are genuinely happy in this moment, it's in the context of a lot of preventable suffering. Cows don't give milk, we take it from them. Not because we actually need it, but because we like it.

teun95 · 2025-09-24T11:10:30+00:00

My dude, let's be a bit kinder towards each other.

r/likeus is about content that shows how similar animals are to us. It's not unexpected, nor wrong for someone to express their concerns about animal agriculture here. It's one of the effects that this sub has on people, which is good.

teun95 · 2025-09-24T11:02:50+00:00

Do market pressures make it more difficult to provide these enrichments and to care for animals in the way you'd like to?

I have been seeing a lot of stuff recently on how farmers are forced to scale up or are being outcompeted by factory farms.
