Know what tipped me off that Lemmy really doesn’t get nuance?
There was an article about a ride-share / taxi company that cateted to women and provided drivers who were also women, to make them feel safer getting a ride.
The comments were absolutely venomous, calling it out as “sexism” and how “what’s to stop me from identifying as a woman and calling? They can’t refuse me!” which… fuckin’ oof.
But I figured out why they’re upset: because they want people to be treated equally instead of acknowledging that some people have different needs that may require extra services to level the playing field.
The number of examples I have seen of people being told to shut up about their lived experiences with sexual abuse in the past 24 hours on this platform is deeply disturbing....
My girlfriend has never really gamed. But she’s now forced to move less than she would like to (health problem) and she’s getting bored. I was thinking of introducing her to a game or two that we could play together. She’s not the real action game type, and seeing as she has no experience with controller/mouse and keyboard...
Pączki — Americanized pronunciation like “poonch-key” (Polish folk, don’t come for me: his name was originally correct ((Pączek)) but no one could remember it or pronounce it correctly).
He has a platform with a heatlamp in my living room where he gets treats and watches the cars go by.
The first game to make me truly sad that I had finished it. Wow, what an experience!
I loved exploring and piecing together the story. I loved discovering new creatures and ecosystems. I loved finding strange things and figuring out what to do with them.
I’ve never played a game quite like it before or since. My god, it was really amazing. I beat it without needing a guide or walkthrough. It’s great enough to the point where, if you are curious enough, you won’t need one!
It’s certainly a slower-paced game, as it’s not all non-stop action, so it’s not for everyone. But if you’re a patient and curious person, this may be for you.
It really is something special! Once I started to think of them more as wild animals with their territory needing to be respected, it was just a matter of adapting to their habits and working around it.
The Crabsquids & Warpers, though, fuuuuuck them. Crabsquids spooked me no matter how many times I came across them! And the Warpers are just assholes. Lol
It is also important to note that when he gave his explanation of why he did it, a large amount of people sympathized with him. And they’re not wrong for doing so.
The creator of these comics is a Christian, with the message of them being a Christian message/allegory.
The message here is that if you disconnect yourself from God and try to live independent from God, you lose your purpose and/or are helpless to fulfill your “true purpose” (which, to a Christian, “true purpose” = serving/following God).
That said: I’d strongly suggest that people stop posting these comics and giving this guy attention. They’re meant for Christians and are not really relevant to people outside of that.
EDIT: I made a (regrettable) visit to the website to satisfy my curiosity and found the title & description:
Absolute Freedom – God (in control of all things) gives us freedom to choose what to do, but we don’t get to choose the outcome.
