Anon fought well. May need to rest a few hours from this social interaction, but will live to fight another day.

The true question is why didn't Anon come and join his dad next to the fire.

A picture of a skinny female orc ...

If I'd seen the pic without text, I'd have assumed it's a femboy orc. Which I'd also find funnier since the morphology of female orcs already varies a lot depending on the artist's tastes and intentions whereas male orcs are more consistently depicted with a strong build.

That evening, someone didn't get the pizza they ordered. They must've been pretty bummed about it. But Anon was certainly happier to eat it than they were upset to not get it, so total happiness increases!

I know we now know they went extinct 66 million years ago, and 64 millions is another date I've seen around, but how long how we known it was definitely way more than 40 millions ? I'm asking because it's the date given in the the song "walk the dinosaurs" by Was (Not Was), and I wondered why such a number. Would it have seed credible at the time, or was it just arbitrary?

As a French tho, do watch the debate between Gabriel Attal, Merdella and Manuel Bombard. See how Bompard (the left wing candidate) politely wipes the floor with both shitbags.

It was so bad Ever on and on, I continue circling With nothing but my hate in a carousel of agony 'Til slowly I forget and my heart starts vanishing And suddenly I see that I can't break free I'm slipping through the cracks of a dark eternity With nothing but my pain and the paralyzing agony To tell me who I am, who I was, uncertainty Enveloping my mind 'til I can't break free and

Maybe it's a dream, maybe nothing else is real But it wouldn't mean a thing if I told you how I feel So I'm tired of all the pain, of the misery inside And I wish that I could live feeling nothing but the night You can tell me what to say, you can tell me where to go But I doubt that I would care, and my heart would never know If I make another move, there'll be no more turning back Because everything will change and it all will fade to black

I ascended for the second time ever, this time with freerunner. I had the seal shards and was aiming to get the "You made it too" achievement. I was surprised when I finished the game and didn't get it...

Then I remembered I let a thief get away on my way back up without paying attention to what he'd stolen...

Dude robbed me of my achievement.

I beat the last boss thrice, once with the warden and once with the battlemage. The first time I died on the way back up, the second, I was out of potions didn't feel confident, so I quit while I was ahead .

But with the monk and the assassin's blade, I made it! This combo is great, especially since the last upgrade, which gave us the [ teleports behind you, unsheathes blade,"Nothing personal, kiddo" ] attack. This really felt fun to play!

Killing someone doesn't change whether or not they die, only when.

The only thing that determines whether or not someone will die is whether or not they were born. Therefore, the only cause of death is birth.

The only case in which murder changes the amount of people who will die is if a person who would've otherwise had children is killed. By preventing birth it prevents death. In other words, murder can only decrease the amount of people who will die or keep it the same, but never increase it.

If her research had applications, it would've turned her pure math into applied math, which sounds less cool. But an application in string theory isn't always considered a "serious" application. String theory was popular in the 80s, as a model to unify quantum physics and relativity, but experiments since then haven't really confirmed supersymmetry, which is one of it's key hypothesis. Some still think string theory can be saved and make new versions of it to account for modern discoveries, but they're very marginal.

En réponse aux récentes émeutes, le réseau social Taktouk sera interdit dans les territoires Français de Kepler 452-b, afin d'arrêter l'endoctrinement séparatiste des jeunes franco-keplerois par des agents perturbateurs de Luyten b. Merci de ne pas chercher d'autres médias en ligne donnant des points de vue keplerois sur les évènements car ils sont tous infectés par la propagande luytenite. À la place, contentez-vous d'écouter les médias qui donnent uniquement la parole aux terriens et exstellarisés.

I love olives. Olives are great.

I will die on this hill.

Neoliberals be like "Lets remove power and fundings from the state, for a more decentralized and democratic system!"

But when you look at where this power and these fundings go, it's to big corpo, where democracy has even less reach...

If I understood right, you are under the impression that the original post is from an incel calling out someone for being enthusiastic about determinist philosophy; and wrongfully likening it to a fetish. A few bits of context seem to have eluded you:

  • The poster in the image has the lesbian flag on their profile pic. It may not be impossible for a lesbian to be an incel, but at the very least it takes Tumblr OP a bit further from suspicion.
  • The screenshot is from Tumblr. You wouldn't be blamed for not knowing this, but some Tumblr users have a way of posting that consists of simply describing a new and humorous character concept that they came up with. This could be related to the fanfiction community. It is not a description or a critique of an actual person, just Tumblr OP thinking "wouldn't it be funny if...".
  • Another thing with this very same Tumblr community is how common it is for them to talk and meme about kinks. Something Lemmy OP has picked on, judging by the title, is that the reason the fictional character is horny is that the absence of free will is similar to bondage or a similar form of erotic domination. This is the original joke.

A social network that was formed as a fork of lemmy, before lemmy had really entered the fediverse (tho they were planning to). Both Lemmy and Hexbear had communists among their founders, but the Hexbear devs found it more... Central to their objectives. When Lemmy federated, Hexbear didn't. It planned to initially, but ended up being pretty satisfied of being a small, yet centralized social network, basically a communist Reddit. But the idea of joining the Fediverse appeared tempting once again with the boom that happened on Mastodon when the muskrat ate the bird, and to a greater extent when Reddit changed their API policy and lost a lot of the user's trust, causing many redditors to move to Lemmy.

Hexbear devs then worked to essentially make it a Lemmy instance, but there were always disagreements about who to federate with. They first federated with Lemmygrad and Lemmy .ml. Lemmy .world quickly blocked them. They temporarily federated with sh .itjust .works, but this wasn't well received on either side, so this was soon undone.

Ideology wise, pretty much everyone on Hexbear is some kind of communist. However, altho the "tankie", pro-russia type is often seen, it's not that homogeneous (there are even anarchist channels over there), arguably less than lemmygrad.
