Ok but doesn’t this imply no one would click their links anyways

i understand the point of paying creators, but the fundamental nature of advertisements is psychological manipulation. there isn’t really properly ethical ads because the very practice is based on mental warfare

quilt primarily split because the other modloaders are made by bigots. this is why doctor4t decided to only use Quilt, because Fabric has weird transphobes on it as far as I remember and the forge team is just full of weirdos. Doctor4t says this explicitly on the Effective mod page. plus quilt is literally compatible with 99% of fabric mods so it’s kind of pointless to get up in arms about it. i’ve used primarily quilt for modding as of recent and have found exactly 1 incompatible mod, which isn’t even really incompatible, seems to just be a side effect of quilt waiting for 1.21 to start updating and patching it

also the forge/fabric split was somewhat justified too. fabric is comically less bloated and boots way faster than any forge setup. lexmanos is generally an asshole (and bigot afaik) hence NeoForge, and that isn’t really shaping up to be much of a split because pretty much everyone seems to just accept NeoForge as the new forge now.

also the reason people say not to ask for forge ports is because they’re doing this stuff in their free time and it takes fucking ages to port something to an entirely new platform

yeah, but still.

these ads are sponsorships by hosting companies etc, not mod developers or players. i mean i suppose some members of the companies could be minecraft players but it’s not necessary to be hired, I’d imagine

well i guess that would answer that

I find it actually unbelievable that the fallout show was not only good but actually based. I wonder if it was an attempt to cynically siphon off of growing class discontent or if the writers just snuck it all in somehow

LMAO in what way was BMF correct that all of us didn’t already know

Weird sectarianism, and being weirdly against people who point out that bugs are inefficient to farm due to trophic levels, are like BMF’s only defining traits outside of normal communism. And BMF didn’t have any particularly good insights to justify those weird beliefs

can we like not unironically glorify BMF please

simply don’t stop masking

how am i still getting surprised by this shit. it’s like they come up with a new way to commit war crimes every other day

being afraid to compliment someone in public because you’re scared you’ll look weird for doing it is a mood

people apparently talk about progesterone making them horny so it’s a toss up

I think a lot of these things might be like riding a bike, where trying to explain every step is basically impossible but if you experience it once you know exactly what’s happening and how it works

well, it’s not the only horny hormone, as evidenced by the fact that those with primarily estrogen in their bodies and not testosterone still end up horny a lot. “Women no want sex, men want sex too much” is common oppositional sexist rhetoric.

Thankfully I can’t think of a single historical example of an revolt of the oppressed ending in some sort of “reverse racism”. Even the supposedly overly radical black supremacist movement seemed to just want their own place to live based on what I know.

The rich ones will get operation paperclipped*

The poor ones will probably get thrown into the same trashbin as the rest of us

I would say that allowing the people who genocided your people for decades to live is actually morally correct to the point of being saintly, and also difficult to the point of being unrealistic due to the common threat of violence from said genocidal people, so the reason we tend to criticize people who suggest such things is because it’s unrealistic to expect those who are being genocided and having their land occupied by settlers to do such absurdly costly and saintlike things that even among privileged people are often very difficult.

That’s a really important difference tho, though ofc as someone born in Settler Hell I mean Amerikkka I mean the US I am going to probably have some sort of crakkker bias. It’s just that someone who misses their complicity in evil specifically designed to be harder to notice is blatantly less evil than someone who is seeing it very obviously and is endorsing it. I’m still profiting off the stolen spoils of genocide, yeah, and I think that’s morally fucked up, but no one I know (that isn’t otherwise a piece of shit) would endorse anything like the genocide of Palestinian people.

I still agree with the general point that “unlimited genocide” on the Israeli populace when taken entirely is a weird position, but I always read statements like that as a bit anyway, especially because there are presumably Israeli people who have draft dodged etc just by the law of large numbers

I don’t think having a strong reaction is the same thing as staring. Idk if that helps but I don’t think most people would be uncomfortable with someone having a “w-whoa!” reaction, especially when you consider most have an reaction

Edit: Being visibly struck with awe is different from leering at someone’s boobs or something. Ones basically just surprise while another is a directed and objectifying gaze
