what carnists actually believe

When you zoom out, the invariant story of capitalism is exactly the opposite. Capitalism contains the seeds of its own destruction.

Just ignore all those famous exceptions.

My teeth already have no enamel so I’m game.

Bruxism. Why, what’s wrong with you? Sheesh.

When I was a teenager it was announced that we would soon be able to stimulate the growth of brand new teeth, right in the mouth. I’m almost 50 and I need some new fuckin’ teeth real soon.

I feel like the belief that physical appearance is the most significant factor in attracting a mate itself betrays a vast misunderstanding and suggests a need for deep self-work.

No, they moved to Discord because there was a for-profit corporation that was extremely motivated to move people to Discord. Mumble is better in every way that an anti-consumerist cares about.

Mumble is THE SHIT.

Bullshit. Look around you. Get out of the shower and open your eyes. What, is it aliens responsible for all the violence in the world? It’s us. We do it. We are built to do it. Violence is VERY OBVIOUSLY inherent to our psychology.

Also, that’s not how trauma works.

I remember texture mapped graphics on a 6502.

Corporate Needs You to Find the Differences

If the registration email is compromised, the attacker can reset the password. So the password doesn’t offer any additional security, in actual practice, over just testing control of the registration email address. If anything, passwords are less secure.

Smearing authentication credential data out across the entire Internet makes a sloppy user safer because the inevitable breeches that come with being sloppy are contained, but it increases the demands on a safe user while also increasing their attack surface. Though such a user does typically have a single point of failure in the form of their own sloppy password management.

You can generate one-time-use email addresses by using the little-know mailbox field of the email address format:

kepix+you_can_write_anything_here_and_it_will_reach_your_inbox@gmail.com

Obviously this will not fool a human being into thinking you are a different person, but I have never encountered authentication code that treats two mailboxes at the same address to be the same person. This is useful for identifying the source of data breaches, when you start getting phishing attacks at your “[email protected]” address, and makes it trivial to train your spam/important filters.

Why make a new game when you can make money from micro transactions in your current one.

You are being facetious, but the question demands an answer: there IS no good reason for investors. It’s very likely Rockstart genuinely would not have made as much money developing new properties as they did exploiting their established ones. And if they did, it would have been a gamble vs a virtual sure thing.

The demands of capital are not compatible with art. These companies don’t serve our needs, they exploit our desires. Don’t buy art from corporations, buy it from artists.

When I came across this (not for the first time) a few years ago, I was staggered. It was like I saw a kid shooting hoops when graduated from elementary school in the 90s, came back 30 years later, and saw the same kid still shooting hoops with a beard around his knees. I really aught to see what three decades of development produced…
