Is that a real pick? Someone did this to their cat? See the necklace - it was not an accident :(

Apart from directly catholic gays, there are also gays in very catholic countries, where their lives are influenced heavily by catholic stances no matter whether they believe or not.

Stereotypes are hard to avoid.

There are many more dumb assholes than rapists. I believe people who do this just for fun, not for rape, do exist. It’s quite terrible anyway.

Well, it doesn’t to me. Without them telling us we won’t know.

I agree fully. If you were not allowed to eat other life, you would be left with licking salt. But that’s not what I meant. What I meant was people use the “thing” label to make it easier to drop empathy - to do shitty things to both humans and other animals.

I’m talking about psychology, not history. Sociopathy is not considered an illness.

You explain it very well. However, I don’t think it’s necessarilly their opinion that Gaza deserves deleting.

How can they have time to consume media that talk about Gaza?

That’s not what she does. Being a bad person or even being a psychopath is not considered a mental illness.

I think recognizing what is alive and what is not is a question of basic science education. I agree animals shouldn’t be treated as smartphones.

By treating animals like people, do you mean respecting them and not killing them or letting them work as senators?

IMO treating animals like things is definitely wrong, in the same way treating people like things is. Neither of them is a thing, all us animals are alive.

Only some people are something - like Jews during WW2. We call living creatures including people “things”, because then it feels more ok to kill them. It lowers the empathy.

The post was about AI generated taco memes. Using AI slop is the only way to contribute.

Yep, in many cases that could be a major improvement.

That’s fair. I still suffer every time I see an online misunderstanding though.

Or perhaps a cynical /s?

That’s the usual reality of voting though. It doesn’t mean every American wanted it, but it still means America voted for this.

Oh, wow, are nipples of sculptures and paintings being censored in Scotland? I didn’t know that. I’d expect it in other countries, mostly not European ones.

Well, yes, the sad reality is that very many people are rather stupid. This won’t change and we should treat it as a fact - people are always going to fall for schemes. I think the fact that they’re stupid doesn’t mean they deserve to be exploited, though. This is a failure of laws and regulations.
