Congrats, you’ve learned how owning copies of original art works!

OP must be 12

Please don’t do that.

Human hair: According to Gordon, human hair is a triple threat for birds: It’s long, thin, and strong. These characteristics can be a deadly combination, allowing the hair to easily ensnare a bird’s leg or wing and sever it. “You can wrap [hair] around your finger and cut your circulation off,” she says.

Y’all have a strangely strong emotional reaction to me just informing you that paying for the product works well as well.

Sometimes you pay for a product and it’s not what you expected or it sucks.

Also having zero problems here paying for it.

Fun fact: very few bees actually have barbed stingers that pull out and kill them when they sting something.

Honeybees do, and as the most familiar bee to most people, it has created this idea it’s normal for all bees.

Bumblebees and carpenter bees can sting you multiple times without dying because they have pin-straight stingers that pull clean, but thankfully they are quite docile little guys!

Or more likely, the people who hate something the most are more likely to post about it than people who love it or are ambivalent. No worries though, I blocked the forum so we won’t have to trouble each other anymore.

Username checks out and proves my point, lmao what are you even doing here?

Y’know it’s funny because one of the proposed benefits of lemmy was the decentralized nature of the forums meant you could pick from the ones you liked, yet I’ve subbed to 5 tech instances here and they are all exactly the same. Nothing but F.U.D. This will be the last remaining one I unsubscribe from, and even end up blocking because of the nonsense.

So, yeah, apparently that thing being a benefit was a lie when in reality it will just populate with the same people saying the same things.

Ah well…enjoy your echo chambers I guess!

This is a tech sub on lemmy.ml, prepare to be flooded by luddites afraid of all things tech. Eventually you learn subs only exist for the stuff people hates here, not the stuff people love.

Yelp does not do that, those are scammers.

Well thank god this sort of short sighted thinking isn’t prevalent in science or medicine or we’d all be fucked.

*lol a scientist scooped a baby rat’s brain’s out just to satisfy his curiosity about dreams and sleep. You guys think I’m worried about some monkeys dying to help paralyzed people live again, I’m not. Science be like that sometimes, progress of all kinds is built on suffering of some sort, those in charge of the universe do their best to make sure it’s not them. You can hate me and my ideals if you want, but at least I’m not ignorant to the cause and what’s at stake just because I’m emotionally invested in the man behind the curtain.

Sorry when I said “the planet” I meant more like the delicate ecosystems and life cycles will be fucked. We’re already starting to see signs of it with all the various population collapses.

Wonderful news!

Too little too late. We’ve been warning you motherfuckers for easy over a hundred years, but nobody ever listens to scientists, 🤷

Lucky for you science will swoop in and save you again anyways. Though the planet is still pretty fucked.

Fucking “world leaders”.

Decentralization is necessary to prevent an all eggs in one basket type of situation. An all in one would just be targeted so fast it would be worthless.

🤡

So all it takes for you to stop supporting a cause is for someone to make it political, no matter how good or helpful it is?

So say you find out your boss is stealing from you and you want to stop that from happening but then somebody makes up a stylized “bosses are thieves” logo, and now suddenly workers all over the country can’t do anything to fight against wage theft at work?

If someone says “the bosses are thieves”, they’re making a political statement and should be silenced? Please, help me understand how this works for you, because honestly it sounds like we’re gonna be losing a whole shit ton of rights in your world.

All lives literally can’t matter if you’re already excluding some in that, that’s the whole point of Black Lives Matter you doofus.

Remember, Black people count as people too, and as long as their lives don’t matter as much then the saying, “All lives matter” is false. Because if you cared about all lives, then you’d be caring about the black lives that are disproportionately harmed and murdered.

And one only needs to take a look at society here in America to see the black lives are treated way worse than white lives. Nearly all facets of our society have some built-in racism whether you’re just going to the hospital with chest pains or trying to buy or sell your house. You’re gonna get worse quality of everything just because of your skin color and that’s verifiable fact.

And yet all they want you to do is recognize that they’re being killed at a much higher rate than other people, and want you to care about that. And for some reason that triggers you so.

Saying all lives matter, and believing that is like having a life raft on a boat, and seeing some people drowning, but you decided to throw the life raft to the people at a table, eating shrimp. You know, because all lives matter. Black Lives Matter is just recognizing the drowning people and trying to help them.

It’s both because one side wants it to be to diminish its power. But at its core it’s a human rights issue. It’s the words Black Lives Matter, strange if you get upset hearing that and think it’s purely political and should be snuffed out where you don’t like facing it. 🤔
