That’s a lot of words to avoid saying you’re talking out your ass.
“Yeah, I could totally tell you. Honest. Promise. No I can’t because… uh… I’d have to kill you.”

Are you joking?
Veganism and vegetarianism is massively on the rise and firmly in the mainstream. McDonald’s does a plant based burger ffs.
PETA have even managed to position themselves as a certification agency for “cruelty free”. If getting companies to self-regulate and accept you as the rule maker for that regulation isn’t above your standard of “working” then I don’t know what is.
Sexuality
When people talk about “LGBT Pride”, they’re not talking about the “a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one’s own achievements” definition, they’re talking about the “confidence and self-respect as expressed by members of a group, typically one that has been socially marginalized” definition.
It’s almost like words can have more than one meaning.
The process of loving an institution or a country or an idea is fundamentally different from the process of loving a person.
To love a person is to accept them on every level of their being.
To love an institution is to be its harshest critic, in the hopes that we can better direct the strokes from our hammer and our chisel to reveal the sculpture within. Nobody has ever created anything beautiful by loudly claiming their block of marble is better than the rest.
I don’t buy this at all. The door-in-the-face strategy doesn’t really work if it leaves the customer feeling like they’d rather get rid of the door and start over with a new door technology.
You can squeeze your customers in a way that doesn’t make you look insane and Unity chose to not do that.
In fairness to them, they’ve massively outgrown the subreddit format and are only there because of legacy reasons and inertia.
It’s so uniquely and heavily moderated, it’s one of the few communities where it would make more sense to spin off into it’s own site where everything is custom made for them as opposed to continuing to jam reddit’s square mod tools into their circular requirements.
I like Lemmy for the few weeks I’ve been here, but the nascent moderation tools are even less appropriate for that particular sub than even reddit post-July 1st nerf.
Do you deny climate change on the same basis?
