All of Lemmy is an act of self harm… 😩

I should be working

If you really need a pee and can’t somewhere to go, put your hand in a bowl of warm water.

Thank you for demonstrating the issue.

You’re not contradicting their point, you know?

I agree, that’s the genuine beauty of it, their layered performance. We could hear their emotions as much as we could hear them hiding their emotions. Genius

Homeworld - Few lines. All brilliant. " Detecting no communication from anywhere in the system, not even beacons." - “We are being overwhelmed!”

Ixion - So many lines that would make no sense if they weren’t being delivered with conviction and sincerity.

Appreciate the Considered Moderation.

I did aim for that grey zone, commenting on the situation rather than the politics itself.

Did you know JC can be played as a range of skin colors?

Brutal.

I can’t imagine police violence like that ever happening in America

Would that be everything?

They’re an anomaly, and it is something to feel bad and shameful about.

Do you have any evidence, at all, that links these two points?

Speak for yourself!

I’ve been exercising 💪

Sshhhh.

We don’t want them learning there’s lands beyond their borders. They might travel!

Any plastic in that EV?

If you’ve got a black cat, they’ve got a blacker cat?

If you’ve been to Tenerife they’ve been to Elevenerife?

I call that “one-up-manship”

The big ones I called…

When facebook first took off, I said “they’re going to normalise ending privacy with this aren’t they?”

When I saw the images of the planes hitting the twin towers I said “well, ****, there goes our civil liberties”

Sometimes I sound like a conspiracy theorist, I promise I’m really not!

Well I wouldn’t sue them myself.

Ibwas talking about the general link between suits and stock prices. Which I don’t think is especially relevant in this case for the reasons you’re talking about, and others

Might not be why you do it.

Certainly suits can and do effect stock prices, based on investors perception of future gains. Both the direct cost of losing a suit (if it’s big enough) and the indirect cost of losing business as a result, can cause this.

I really don’t see either of those scenarios happening here. The investors know there’s a monopoly situation and nothing will change until that changes

Whatever kind of crazy talk it is, I bet a therapist can do even better crazy talk

Well, there’s a philosophical point that’s worthy of exploring.

Is human activity, including manipulation, a result of nature or in conflict with it?

Ever seen Orcas wearing salmon hats?

Hierarchical systems are perfectly normal in social systems. Not in the rigid way your manosphere nutters use it, but it’s still a thing!
