Thank you for being polite about it. For the most part I do actually put carts away. I was mostly just commenting to say its incredibly ridiculous to get from “Person does a pretty minor in the long run but selfish thing” to “This person relies on society having rules in order to be able control themselves or be considerate to others”.

Look man, you can occasionally be selfish or lazy without immediately being an absolute drain on society. Is not putting the cart back ultimately a dick move? Yeah, but its also an incredibly minor dick move, and maybe I’ve already used up all of my fucks for the day.

Edit: Ok, yall have convinced me. I’m going to start wheeling shopping carts into the most inconvenient places in the parking lot on purpose now. It’s really funny how much it ruins all of your days, thank you for giving me a mew source of joy. I wouldnt be surprised if I tipped and treated service staff a hell of a lot better than most of you considering how much you’re all itching to feel superior to others over extremely minor things

Yeah, DF is like Rimworld in that it looks like a low powered game, but it’ll eat up as many resources as you give it, so a tower is a better host for it. And in fort mode I tend to get around the production chains that intimidate me too much by using trade. I’ll focus HEAVILY on a production chain I understand and enjoy and build up a LOT of excess in that category, and then sell it off for the resources I need but dont want to make when the seasonal traders arrive, because unlike rimworld, they show up consistently unless you have pissed their empire off. I also wouldnt sleep on adventure mode either, DF builds a whole world for you to explore, and the Shenanigans you can get up to in it are pretty great. Becoming a legendary wrestler and running around breaking peoples arms, stealing their weapons, and then throwing said weapons into the faces of their allies is a rush

xD yeah, I’ve been playing DF for about a decade now and I dont think I’ve ever fully set up even a clothing chain, I’ve DEFINITELY never gotten into soap making or cheese making. The game is VERY unintuitive at times, so I agree it could be better at being more understandable!

If you still want to get into DF, I’d heavily recommend googling up quickstart guides, either the text ones on the wiki, or some on youtube, ans following them pretty exactly for a while until you get the hang of the basics enough to start experimenting. It’s how I got myself into DF, and I’ve used that method successfully with other games that are so complex that they are intimidating like Stellaris.

Edit: Aaaaand I didn’t realize I was necroing a 3 month old post xD

Is that not what mugging usually is?

Reddit was down. I also occasionally come back when I’ve burned through all the articles on Reddit to see if anything different pops up here, and then I see shit like Vegans nutritionally starving their pets and people getting their comments removed for not capitalizing someone pronouns correctly when I come back. Sometimes theres extra shit to read here, so I’ll probably keep coming back when I’ve drained reddit of content, but this shit reminds me why I’ve decided to deal with Reddits BS first before Lemmy’s

Yep, this shit is part of why I gave up and went back to reddit. The extreme stances here are too fucking normal

Damn, I own this game, its worth boosting so it sucks I had to downvote xD

Fruit does not belong on a non dessert Pizza, and unless you are a horticulturalist or other form of plant scientist, a tomato is not a fruit (Do you put tomatoes in fruit salad?)

Hence why I said low tide and zoom out. Right now shit seems like its regressing, BUY WE ARE STILL AHEAD of where we used to be, so the TREND is still hopeful, even if the right now sucks.

tldr; in the immediate present/future things are looking worse, but the overall timeline/trend things are looking and have been getting better

For me its because if you zoom out, the world is a better place to live in now, than it was 1000 years ago. Progress moves in waves, and right now it definitely feels like a significant low tide, but over time the coastline keeps creeping forward.

• Humanity is the only meat eating animal that has significant percentage of its population willingly avoiding eating meat and instead finding ways to obtain essential nutrients without it (need to add that I am NOT one of those animals, I’m personally waiting for lab grown meat before I obstain from death based meat, if I ever do)

• Humanity by and large no longer needs to leave its sick and wounded to die because we invented technology and infrastructure to both heal, and take care of those we cant heal

• We’ve progressed to the point as a species where in order to bring more prosperity to our community, we no longer have to take from other communities, and that wasnt always the case (unfortunately this is only a recent achievement, and as such, not all of our population has adapted to this, hence our current problems)

Unless brewing them in a special way is required to bring out the flavour, it tastes just like regular coffee to me when I had it

I unironically like this version the best out of the entire chain

Here’s a summation from another dutch poster @ClamDrinker@lemmy.world a while back:

I’m sorry, but this is just really kind of disingenuous to start something like this next to a topic such as this. Your experience with one company or something is purely anecdotal and the controversy around Zwarte Piet is also very nuanced to this very day. The kind of nuance someone not from here will not get from a casual google search. For anyone that cares about actually understanding, here’s a rundown:

Many people attributed Zwarte Piet as a fun and good role model for kids, not some kind of caricature clown to laugh at. Literally almost everyone grew up knowing and having a fond enjoyment of Zwarte Piet, like a childhood imaginary friend that always showed up when you needed a smile the most. And that creates a strong desire to set that positivity forth by continuing the tradition. It takes really good reasons to destroy something most people attribute to be part of the greater good of their lives.

We try to understand racism, and strive to effectively reduce it rather than just mindlessly treat symptoms. Many people saw the existence of Zwarte Piet as a way to instill positive experiences to kids who might be isolated from having positive experiences with actual people of color. We know that in part racism comes about from not having enough (or too many bad) real world experiences with people of different skin colors. It is a type of fear of the unknown. As such, this still seems like solid reasoning. (Fun note, rats will also not help other stranger rats with a different fur color to escape even with no direct harm to themselves except when they have already lived alongside aside a rat with that fur color)

Even people of color were not completely on one side, but for the ones that it hurt, it hurt loudly. Black people in the Caribbean (Also part of the Netherlands) still use Zwarte Piet to this day, because they do not care - They do not see the racism in it. Unfortunately there seems to be a correlation between being affected by racism and seeing the racism in Zwarte Piet, as many of us learned as the conversation marched on. And racists definitely did wield Zwarte Piet to make their racism be known. In a world without racism, Zwarte Piet would not be controversial. And many people were not acutely aware of the racism some people of color faced.

The majority has wanted to get rid of it (since about 2018, actually), and most places have more accepted solutions in place now. But this does not mean that many people agree because we think Zwarte Piet is actually inherently racist. It’s because we’ve heard the concerns of people of color and weighed their burden to be more important to relieve than the perceived benefit of tradition and instilling a positive message on people that look different from yourself. It also didn’t help that the vast majority of people that still wanted to overrule those concerns were pretty obviously racist, which pushed even more people over the edge, because we don’t want to hold traditions in place that shield racists and bigots. Some countries could really learn from that.

I more mean I hate it because this level of incompatible thinking is unfortunately super common (As in I probably do it in different topics myself

LMAO That’s hilarious, it wasnt even mine I was mentioning xD

(Tbh though it’s probably more that the Tankies are butthurt that they cant share their brainrot with me anymore)

LMAO, they’re seriously saying someone with a vagina can be a man and not putting 2 and 2 together!?

… Fuck man, wait, that’s totally believable…

I hate this world…
