Yeah, I guess that feels like the obvious reason. It just feels like there’s gotta be something more immediate and tangible. Maybe there isn’t though 🤷🏻‍♂️

Does anyone know the strategic reason for right wing authoritarians prioritizing people having kids? Like project 2025 talks about it a bunch, but nothing totally clear cut comes to mind as to why. At least not that feels like it fully justifies how clearly important it is, and that isn’t just me dismissing it as meaningless control or whatever. It feels strategically important

In this case it’s clearly important militarily, but that’s also not likely to help in the present conflict in Ukraine. It’ll take a long time for those kids to grow up, but at least they’d help mitigate population loss

If you’re using a custom de-googled rom you don’t have the play store, so this would just gut that functionality :/ same for any other app that decides they need this, which if the past is anything to go on is going to be a ton of apps that really don’t need it

Well that fucking sucks

See, if I block greentext I’m gonna really miss bewildering nonsense fever-dream posts like this:

I saw it and thought back to this discussion lol

Anyway, hope you’re having a good one

😮‍💨

You put cured meat in your bits, didn’t you?

I didn’t realize there was a wholesome greentext community here on Lemmy, thanks! :)

I probably will at some point, it’s a shame though cause every once in a while something really fun or charming comes out of the greentext communities or reddit or lemmy. I don’t meant to condemn folks for their choice or preferences, just express that I can’t relate to them

Hope you have a good one :)

It’s on the front page pretty often, as it seems like one of the larger communities

I’ll probably end up blocking it as the other reply mentioned, but I don’t usually like doing that. It’s also a bummer cause occasionally something really lovely gets produced by 4chan, you just have to wade through a lot of bleakness before you find it, it would seem

I don’t mean to disparage others their choice or preferences, just expressing I don’t really understand them

Hope you have a good one :)

Its not a strawman, that would imply no one was actually advocating for feeding cats a vegan diet, and this post was made up to pretend they did in order to disparage vegans. This post is a reference to someone on Lemmy arguing in favor of vegan diets for cats, and the thread you linked is literally people advocating for and discussing vegan diets for cats.

That being said, if you read the comments you’ll see vegan folks arguing that this is a difficult thing to safely do in practice, and needs oversight and direction from a vet.

Making decisions to feed your pets, who can’t advocate for themselves, things other than what they biologically evolved process as a healthy diet, even if you believe you’ve balanced everything just right, is morally questionable.

Making such a decision about your own diet on moral grounds is an admirable sacrifice and difficult lifestyle change one can be proud of. Choosing to make that sacrifice on behalf of a creature you’re responsible for the health and happiness of is needlessly jeopardizing the wellbeing of that creature. They can’t communicate their needs, and you’re the one responsible for them. Don’t go making questionable choices on their behalf that they’d be powerless to do anything about.

Yeah, I understand that it’s a subversion of what’s expected, it’s just also depressing

“The joke is that you thought it was just a weird interaction with strangers, but he’s actually being shitty father and abusive husband!” doesn’t really work for me 🤷🏻 I get why it’s funny to other people, I just can’t really relate, and so much of 4chan humor has that same shared thread of being an asshole, life being a bleak existence, or making up a strawman to attack a particular population. It’s just kinda depressing to me :/

A fictional story about a husband/father being cruel to his family until they leave doesn’t exactly seem like fun entertainment to me 😅

4chan’s idea of a joke tends to involve some kind of suffering or cruelty, I don’t really get the appeal. It shows up on my feed and I can’t help but think “someone wants to read this sort of thing…?”

At least the one about the lady pissing herself and jumping in a canal or whatever was kinda silly and just a story about doing something dumb

Cant say I understand. Doesn’t really seem healthy to soak in that kinda cesspool, but everyone’s gotta live their own life and make their own decisions I suppose

4chan is depressing

Gotcha, I can see why you’d be more into anarchy then. Congrats on S+6 ☺️

I was literally just about so say same for splatoon, I just hit my highest elo ever and I’m really proud of myself 🥺

Do you play much x rank? I’m surprised to see someone refrencing their anarchy rank as opposed to x power

Mildew

Lol, well played

I mean… its definitely ethical, its just also freak behaviour 😅
