Jackthelad,

“Breeding animals for consumption is fine, except this one.”

It is slightly odd how people are like, “cows? Gimme that burger. Sheep? Mmm, mint sauce. Chicken? Batter that baby up”. But then suddenly everyone turns into a vegan when it’s a dog or a horse.

I’ve got no interest in eating dog meat, but where’s the consistency?

Jackthelad,

Get in, Wolverhampton Wanderers!

They can beat anyone!

Jackthelad,

We have universal healthcare in the UK and can’t access it either, so don’t romanticise it too much.

Jackthelad,

The World Without Us by Alan Weisman is a good book to read if you’re interested in this topic.

Jackthelad,

Why would you want it defeated?

The most successful and happiest countries in the world are the Nordic countries, which are capitalist economies.

Jackthelad,

This is from the Daily Express, which is a paper that’s full of these sort of ragebait, horseshit headlines.

Jackthelad,

Pros: It’s nice in theory.

Cons: It will never work in practice because human nature is a thing.

Jackthelad,

I’m still waiting to see the evidence of JK Rowling’s transphobia.

It seems a lot of the hardcore trans rights activists are overly sensitive to anyone who doesn’t say the exact things they do.

Jackthelad,

A regular watch.

I’ve never seen the point of a smart watch, unless you’re using it for fitness.

Jackthelad,

I’ve been having random chest pain from anxiety for about 15 years.

Welcome to the club that no one wants to be in!

Jackthelad, (edited )

I just finished the Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee, and that would work great as a gangster/martial arts show.

What is the deal with Palestine and Hamas?

For mental health reasons, I had taken myself out of most political topics. But lately there seems to be a surge of talk about Palestine and Hamas (forgive me if I spelled this wrong). I do know it’s something to do with land rights, but it also seems to be so much more at the same time. I’m not trying to start any fights. I...

Jackthelad,

Largest open air prison.

Where people could leave any time they wanted, and many Palestinians worked in Israel. Not a very good prison.

Their response is disproportionate, and it seems their goal is genocide and complete control of the land.

Israel doesn’t want Gaza. They literally left it in 2005 precisely because they didn’t want anything to do with it. But while Hamas exists, there will never be peace. Tbh, there will never be peace there anyway. It’s the Middle East. War is the only thing they know.

Jackthelad,

When did this become a thing anyway? When out and about, I see everyone talking on the phone like this.

I don’t want to hear your conversation.

Jackthelad,

I mean I don’t love Google, because loving a tech company would be a bit weird.

But I like their phones and the Android experience. I don’t really care if some nerds on the internet who like to tell everyone how they’ve “degoogled” their phones and get a stiffy about Linux don’t like that.

Jackthelad,

I can’t see any profile pics on the Lemmy app I use. 🤷

Jackthelad,

You mean to tell me the media preys on fear?!

No way!

Jackthelad,

Mr. Robot. Even though I didn’t love the ending as much as most people did, that show as a whole was just so well-made.

Jackthelad,

It’s also very good at depicting social anxiety. I’ve never seen it depicted in anything before, but it’s very accurate.

Jackthelad,

I have a friend who feels the same, but season 2 is the weakest season. If you can manage to get past it, seasons 3 and 4 are excellent.

Jackthelad,

The BBC literally had to apologise a week ago for parroting Hamas propaganda about the missile hitting the hospital.

They then had the audacity to lecture people on how to avoid “misinformation”.

Gamers who have gamed for a long time

do you find it difficult to get into games? I’ve got Epic Games and Steam Games libraries chock-full of classic top-tier games along with many other newer games like Stray or 2077, and a bunch of indie titles. I just can’t be bothered to download and install them, much less try to get into the characters and storylines. Used...

Jackthelad,

I don’t enjoy gaming anywhere near as much as I used to, and a lot of AAA games just don’t appeal to me anymore.

Indie games are where I get most of my enjoyment from gaming now and looking forward to Jusant, and the DLC for Lake in November. But apart from that, I’m not really fussed.
