  • Climate change is ‘enshittifying’ our lives | It’s a word that was made up to describe how the internet is getting worse. Now it also applies to the way we experience the environment.

    Jump

  • This seems like either a deliberate attempt to coopt the term "enshitification" or someone talking out of their ass.

  • Poll - To vegans (only): Do you believe that humans matter more than other animals?

    Jump

  • I personally think that humans do "matter more" than most other animals, but I'm not a human exceptionalist. I think there's a spectrum of neurological complexity (for lack of a better term) that determines a lifeforms ability to experience complex emotional life. The more sophisticated that machinery is, the more moral consideration a being deserves.

    One of the benefits of this is line of reasoning is that it also rejects speciesism for a more fundamental categorisation, but still fairly trivially answers questions like: Why can't animals vote? Or, should killing a sentient animal (an ant, or bee, perhaps) deserve the same punishment as killing a human?

    I also think that there is some threshold where there's essentially no complex emotion processing capability. This, to me, provides a clear and consistent answer to why it is OK to kill some life (plants, microbes) for our own survival, but not others.

    Of course there are some problems. The "emotional capacity" or "neurological complexity" measure kinda hand waves away a lot of tough questions about the nature of consciousness that's at or beyond the limits of our current sciences.

    If you asked me to elaborate, in the "name the trait" scenario, and kept digging, I'd quickly run out of my depth, because it's not my area of expertise.

  • Air Canada suspends restart plans after union defies return to work order

    Jump

  • Hancock said the "whole process has been unfair" and said the union will challenge what it called an unconstitutional order. Air Canada flight attendants picket at Pearson International Airport in Toronto on Saturday.

    "Air Canada has really refused to bargain with us and they refused to bargain with us because they knew this government would come in on their white horse and try and save the day," he said.

  • Factorio did it right, IMO. V2.0 as a free update to the base game, launch a paid expansion at the same time.

    Wube is pretty much the only developer I have faith in to consistently do things right.

  • Meet the AI vegans. They are refusing to use artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons

    Jump

  • It's honestly not even the worst way I've even seen it used.

    I used to watch some League of Legends (I know, I know) streams from time to time, and there's a meta where your mid laner, who is supposed to be a strong carry, gives up all their farm to the roaming jungler roll so they become the super-carry.

    In any case this somehow got termed to be the "vegan mid" strategy. Ugh. Veganism is when you starve, apparently.

  • Yep. They also spend a huge amount of advertising $$ to perpetuate the myth of "happy farm animals". AnAg is one of the least ethical industries out there.

    Better luck next pull!

    Ecchi anime recommendations?

    Jump

  • You might want to check out Mother's Basement on YouTube if you haven't. He's got a great series called Hottest Trash Anime which goes through all of the current seasons more baseless series. He goes over their strong points, and potential audience, and it's all done in a pretty creative and entertaining format.

    I will admit, I didn't end up watching anything off of it last season, so maybe we are going through a bit of a drought.

    Ecchi anime recommendations?

    Jump

  • Y'know I was genuinely surprised by it. Like the concept is certainly rather suspect, but then it turned out to actually be quite lewdly wholesome.

    I haven't read the manga yet, but I suppose I should. I might save it until I go up another grade level or two in my Japanese studies, though.

    Ecchi anime recommendations?

    Jump

  • I find some of the stuff listed here is borderline not ecchi. I might risk some criticism here, but for me ecchi needs to have some aspect of sexuality as a core theme, not just coincidentally have thrown in a bit too much fan service.

    If you want to try something a bit more adventurous, then Interspecies Reviewers is definitely one of the better ones. Also, Gushing Over Magical Girls was quite decent as well.

  • What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks?

    Jump

  • Nobody's mentioned this one yet, perhaps because it's a bit obscure, but Vib-Ribbon (PS1) has such a unique and endearing OST. I never played the game, but I heard one of the songs and got totally hooked.
