Righto, I have changed my comment to reflect your input.

Informal, modern society understands it the way you do, the term is just different here on Lemmy lol.
This is my favorite visualization of how obscenely wealthy the mega rich are.
So you’re saying I can get there…
I guess my clothes look like shit, or I dress like a toddler.
The great thing about being an adult is I don’t have to give a fuck what others think about me.
Thanks! That’s a different way of looking at the problem that I hadn’t considered.
This is quickly becoming beyond my knowledge pool, but does this assume that all life is intrinsically linked to oxygen?
Earth has been quite obviously life-bearing for at least 2 billion years. We should have been wiped out long ago.
I believe the theory is that as civilizations broadcast a signal indicating life exists strong enough such that it is picked up by other civilizations, the dark forest theory applies. Essentially we haven’t broadcasted a signal loud enough to be picked up
Just passing through, no strong opinions on the matter nor is it something I wish to do deep dive research on.
Just wanted to point out that your original comment was indeed just a threat that did nothing to address OPs argument.
Nothing about your comment addressed why it should be treated differently if it’s ai-generated but visually indistinguishable.
The thumbnail makes this look like a weird taxidermy floor jack
It definitely was the last chance I saw a lot of folks.
Yeah, I know, that means I wasn’t intentional enough yadda yadda yadda, but high school really was the last time a lot of folks are in an environment where social interactions are so passively encouraged. After high school, you’re no longer pressured to keep in touch with folks that you’ve known for 4, 6, or even 12 years, and a lot of people do naturally fall out of touch.
Is that really what convinced people though?
Don’t imagine the folks with megaphones actually convert many folks.
Let’s be honest, Lemmy is not a good sample of the general population. We’re all atypical in one way or another, it makes sense that niche extremism concentrates here.
Yeah, I’m not religious anymore, but in college I led a homeless outreach team for Christian students where we’d go downtown every week to provide food and friendship to the unhoused. The single most regularly attending person was sikh. The fact that she joined even though it was a different religion (we’d pray before and after the night) spoke volumes to me, and it made me respect the religion a lot. In fact, the thought that someone like her would technically not go to heaven simply due to believing in a different religion was one of the reasons why I stopped practicing.
I’ve always been taught that “good” Christians convert others by being so kind and generous that others ask “what drives them to be like that?” And that’s the proper way to proselytize. None of this preaching, damnation and hellfire stuff. Be a good and inspirational enough person that others will naturally be drawn to what drives you. It’s a shame that the loudest voices get the most attention.
That being said, when our military supplies are being used to bomb Palestinian kids
Ukraine is on the same coin, so it’s a matter of how you choose to look at it.
When conservative media pushes the same news script to over 200 local news stations across the nation, it is dangerous to our democracy.
I don’t know much about this topic, but I’m seeing a lot of uncontested claims of “us spends more on healthcare per capita” in this thread, leading me to believe that more money won’t fix the underlying problem.
Multiple people are calling out that the mine planet wasn’t at 80% liberation while the child planet was at 45% - are you sure you didn’t check another planet by accident, or otherwise mix up your numbers?
If you just take a look at the memes the community made you’ll see that they’re all focused on Helldivers saving the kids, which is further evidence that you might’ve gotten the numbers wrong.
EDIT: I haven’t used this website before, but this dashboard shows that marfark was at 0% liberation until yesterday. I’m pretty sure you’ve gotten your numbers wrong initially. I think when you checked and the planet had 74k players, the liberation had RISEN to 39%, which is supported by the dashboard plot of marfarks liberationb& the timestamp of 2024-06-15T02:45:04Z shows 76k active players and around 40% liberation, steadily rising up from 0 before.
It’s not controversial, it’s misleading. Clarify that we’re saying “shoot with a BB gun” and it’ll be a lot clearer.
