If you disregard a belief because it is detrimental to yourself or others, then you are not in a religion, you are not in a cult, you just believe in what makes you comfortable and that is okay. Religion is fine, until it causes detriment to other people, which is what it has done in all of history.

Believe in what you like, just don’t impose that on others. Live and let live.

A cult is devotion no matter what. Religions are cults.

Donate to science or cremate.

Whether or not it was the direct cause in this case, fireworks cause a lot of animals a lot of stress and deaths do come from it.

I don’t see why anyone needs to be able to buy explosives to use at home, firework shows should be organised in set locations and should use low noise fireworks as much as possible.

It’s not the price that is the problem, it’s how iCloud is integrated into the device, in a way Apple don’t allow other cloud services to do. iCloud has access other apps simply do not, so they cannot compete fairly.

Yeah… but I think it’s too late for Mastodon to be popular. Bluesky is already at the tipping point.

Mastodon just needed to sign you up to their own default server, power users could sign up to different ones and they would have still got the regulars in the door. Mastodon also needed twitter feature parity, something Bluesky also managed much faster.

Once people are in and settled, then they would start asking questions about that URL after their username, people would slowly become comfortable with the federation and understand it.

You are also underestimating how sites like SO really helped a new generation of programmers learn. Anyone could search and learn things, whether to take a serious approach or just for a bit of fun.

I thought the idea of the US version was just to avoid republicans.

Why is there so much nationalism at a club match…

The problem is, its very hard to hide the fact you are a smoker. This is why the ban will be effective, its not worth it for kids to take it up.

Trump by all metrics is a much much worse candidate. The democrats should have been able to run a literal turd and still win. It’s not about the policies, Trump ran a cult and it worked. Its absolutely mental.

I dont know… looking at the map, the large cities are generally democrat majorities… you know, where the people with better jobs, hence an education, live.

Voting Trump just shows a very clear lack of critical thinking.

I am just as shocked, I didnt believe all the polls that it was a close race. There was just no way people are that fucking stupid…

Well… I stand corrected. People are that fucking stupid.

I’m so sorry.

As with most games now, the players are the playtesters.

Gearbox is just going to keep milking RoR, it’s a real shame Hopoo sold it.

Because it’s a gradual ban, rather than a blanket ban for everyone immediately, they are hoping the demand won’t be there by the time the last generation of legal smokers die off (sooner than you think given cigarettes are designed to kill).

Mentions lack of mods on consoles in both posts, maybe a console player a bit angry their platform is locked down? Either way, yep, they clearly don’t participate in the mod space much, so should probably spare their opinion on the matter.

Yikes.

Creation Club goes against modding values, which is why people hate it. It’s Bethesda’s attempt at profiting from ‘mods’, they don’t actually give a shit about modders being paid. But honestly, CC shouldn’t even be compared to mods, it’s content Bethesda contracted people for and then they sell it on CC and keep the money.

Nobody is asking for free content from modders, most create mods out of passion and the players enjoy that, they can always open donation links that people can use (I have donated to many mod creators in the past, have you?). The best mods are created this way and without the player freedom, the quality of content would be a lot worse overall or simply not exist.

Yeah, in the far future I can see some uses when it’s really matured, but I still think more specialised robots will be designed instead.
