Makeshift

Thanks. I just lost The Game.

I losst The Game before reading this because of the dang image.

Same here. Discord members posting teddit links and one person trying to grow a niche subreddit while I refuse to give Steve Huffman any more free human generated content.

Did you at least kill him yourself? Or did you have to deepthroat Daddy Tyson’s throbbing meaty cock to underpay an immigrant getting PTSD to just to harvest a baby’s organs and pack them in a pwetty wittle gift baggie for you? uwu

If you will buy it, they will sell it.

Corperations are not people. They have no moral compass. They do what their customers will pay for.

Customers are people. Customers can choose based on any criteria. Convenience, morals, pleasure, whatever they value.

You are the customer. By buying from animal agriculture, you are saying you value what they are selling.

Yes, the thousands, millions, billions of customers matter. YOU are a customer. YOU MATTER. And if you choose to value something that is pure evil for all involved except your taste buds and their bottom line, then yes. You share in the blame. Especially now that you know what it causes.

Meat and dairy are heavily subsidized by the government (at least in US). Government subsidies for animal agriculture allow them to sell for cheaper because they can sell for less than what it actually costs to make.

Also from US, and one key word in your comment has got to be the major reason I didn’t understand people liking it.

iPod.

I had a Sony Walkman MP3 player, not an iPod.

So for me, it took just one song bought and a whole lot of hassle trying to figure out how to get it on my MP3 player to decide iTunes sucks, rip the song off YouTube, run it through an MP3 converter, and have what I wanted… then wonder why other people thought bashing their monitors trying to get a song on their MP3 player from that stupid impossible convoluted “service” was easier.

I’ll call myself lucky in hindsight for having the “wrong” device!

I purchased one song on iTunes, couldn’t find a file for the song on my phone to put on my MP3 player for the life of me, and promptly decided iTunes sucks.

Never understood why people liked it back in the day.

Probably being unable to buy music when I was in my teens.

No job, no income, no way to get to the store anyway, and to top it off… half the music I liked I wouldn’t have been able to find anyways. (Fan songs/parodies)

So I learned that (free) YouTube downloaders and MP3 converters existed.

A bit later than that… NES/SNES games I wanted to play but those consoles were before my time. So I learned emulators existed.

So basically stuff I didn’t have access to otherwise.

Wait tgis is a real car? Wow I thought it was an art project or AI meme

but it doesn't matter except to you, your friends, and the particular animals you didn't eat.

Why does the animals’ interest to not be killed not outweigh you and your friends’ desire to end their life and eat their body, instead of plants that give you equal nourishment?

Why is the value of their very life less than the value of your whim?

So far as I know, they’re not shoving 20 ads in your face on every screen.

I know they’re far from perfect. Heck they have a forced arbitration clause in their ToS.

But compared to other services lately, Discord seems to mostly be trying to treat users as customers instead of products for advertisers. I’ll take it, and get some neat conveniences from Discord in turn.
