I think it’s because bozo is an insult to intelligence while twat and shithead are insults to behavior.

It’s not impossible at all. You just have to blur the faces and any identifying marks unless you’ve obtained explicit consent. Kind people already do this regularly.

I get what you mean, but I do think this brand of humor can help crack certain people’s indoctrination shells. Edgy standup comedy and memes turned me gay.

It’s not necessarily everyone’s primary goal in life to appeal to you sexually.

The hair doesn’t harm or otherwise negatively impact the organism’s survival rate. The organism’s immune system didn’t evolve to prevent and kill hair cells as they arise.

I am not going to share the comic that immediately came up when I chose to look into this. The artist is unquestionably a transphobe.

Her knees are close together, but the bottom leg parts angle out so that her boots are wider apart.

I love that the name “mezzaluna” is so descriptive that I immediately knew what tool you meant despite having never encountered the word in my life. Nicely done, Italy.

Most of my art doesn’t mean anything. I essentially run a procedural generation script like I’m a Minecraft server or a screensaver or something. The pieces that contain some meaning are usually limited to being visually pleasing or practically useful rather than having artistic meaning. The meaninglessness has made me very depressed for most of my life, but I’ve been making some progress recently on not giving a shit. (Shout-out to Erasmus from the Dune prequels. I feel your pain, buddy.)

I’m not familiar enough with Hinduism to comment too strongly, but it’s my understanding that while Brahma is the god of creation, he didn’t create Vishnu and Shiva, who are separate beings and forces entirely and not aspects of each other the way the Catholic trinity is.

There very often isn’t a single creator god in polytheism. There might be someone who created humans, but that figure(s) isn’t necessarily the creator of all reality. You can look at Norse and Greek mythology for examples.

That’s fair enough. I just wanted to make sure I understand what you meant. I don’t think I agree, but I’m not certain I disagree either.

Because people learn to understand language much faster than being able to produce it, both in terms of formulation and pronunciation. For babies in particular, they struggle with the fine motor skills required to produce sounds reliably. Babies can learn to produce nonverbal communication faster than vocal language because it’s easier in terms of bodily control.

It’s a pretty standard concept in my experience. It helps cover funding for the shelter and in some cases includes the cost of mandatory surgical sterilization of the animal.

The parents are also suffering from the negative medical effects of algorithms designed to manipulate and addict. You’re asking why a victim of drug abuse isn’t a more responsible parent.

I’m not trying to do a gotcha, but doesn’t your post also mean that Lemmy is bad and no one should use it?

“Quick to anger” is part of emotional dysregulation. People usually prefer things to be fair, but an intense emotional response to unfairness is a common ADHD trait.

You’re not falling—you’re redefining what it means to drive.

I don’t know. Earlier today I found a bug in my house and took it outside, away from the cats and presumably towards whatever it eats or wants to bang. Am I really any different from Toriel? Nothing gives me the right to tell it where to be; I’m only doing what I think is best for a creature less intelligent than myself.

The thing I like about Undertale vs something like Steven Universe is that the kind of pacifism being advocated isn’t one of passive forgiveness, but a stubborn unwillingness to accept what one disagrees with. And also the fact that the villains have very reasonable concerns regarding the need to defend themselves from humans rather than just actually being Nazis or abusive parents. It’s not a 1:1 analogy for real life and can’t be applied to every situation, but I think the idea of simply saying no and refusing to comply is a practical strategy in parts of life.

BEANS

I’m kind of shocked to realize just how closely their caffeine content lines up with how well I perceived them as headache cures before I learned about migraines and caffeine. I guess that’s how the ancients figured out which plants do what.
