If you can show me Roman furry artwork (for a friend who really wants to see it, of course), I’ll withdraw my whole line of comments.

I’m speaking in historical terms here. By new I mean within the past couple of decades.

You can’t just paint targets and hope their absense will make things better; you have to have ultimatums, so that they and their peers have incentive to change.

Wealth is not the problem. Individuals wielding wealth in a way that hurts the rest of us is the problem. Not all rich people are overtly evil. But some are, and acknowledging that seems like as good a place to start with a solution as any.

Unfortunately, a gun isn’t going to get you past the [REDACTED] or tell you where [REDACTED], and it is supremely unlikely that a single gun will [REDACTED HARD], and even in that unlikely scenario, the backlash from [REDACTED DUDE JUST STOP].

If Sync brings more users to Lemmy, that’s a net win for all of us here.

Let’s be honest here. Wanting to be a talking animal isn’t really any less weird than wanting to yiff one.

Trying to distance yourself from the latter by claiming the former is a futile effort.

Sure there’ve been talking animals since humans have been telling stories, but what seems to be new is the rando who’s always there in the comments to say “Yo, I’d totally tap Tigger’s ass”, “That Coyote character is a snack.”

Amen to that. Monoculture is bad, in every context.

The Vulcans have it right: Infinite diversity in infinite combinations.

I definitely notice it with a push mower, but there’s also the issue of the grass blades themselves always being cut in one direction. That’ll produce a noticable effect over time if you don’t vary mowing vector.

Voyager won me

But you have to alternate the pattern each time you mow or you’ll get wheel ruts.
