Nah it’s okay, they’re taken care of in the stasis of the ball. What does taken care of mean? Well, they’re in stasis, so technically they don’t have any needs to meet, so they’re totally fine. What is stasis? It’s like being frozen, like cryostasis, but not like that. No, of course they’re not fully aware of every agonizing second of blackness! Wait, I mean, they’re aware, but not able to actually think or feel anything, and they can’t even talk so it’s not like they’re complaining. Some of them are complaining? Fuck idk. …are we the baddies?

Jk that’s not supported by canon. Well, the bit at the end about self awareness anyways. [I realized after writing this last sentence immediately before this that it could kind of refer to either the Pokémon’s self awareness or the self awareness of the person exploiting the Pokémon. I will not be correcting it to clarify which I meant]

Yeah the only thing stopping you is the laws of physics which are seemingly different here. This could work.

I don’t know shit about factorio really but this is still really funny and I feel like I understand it more now and it makes me wish even more that I liked playing it

Adventure Time so basically the plot of the Fionna and Cake series (which I highly recommend)

Nah. There’s good people here and even the people who voted for this deserve to have their needs met, many of then are only personally responsible for a tiny fraction of the immense harm caused by the systems of power. And they may not have caused any harm if they lived in a place where people are always taken care of as well as is reasonably possible. there is immense pressure to shed empathy and embrace individualism and forego the many benefits of community such as efficient and effective collaboration, for example to prevent a disease from spreading or at least reducing the harm it causes. As many of us can see, especially obviously in the US, the goal and function of the system isn’t actually to stop causing harm in the first place, or even reduce the harm that must be caused for your society to function, the cruelty is often very much the point. Non-absolutely essential needs are less and less profitable to meet the less common it is to have the need, and the amount of wealth that can be extracted from the people with whatever need is the only thing that really determines what gets things done, and subjugation and not giving folks a chance to think critically and question their circumstances by completely overwhelming them with horrible information (including dis- or misinformation) about the world and making them think they’re threatened by whoever is opposing efforts to make line go up. Most folks don’t stand a chance without direct intervention and time spent with someone directly affected by the system in an obvious way, including possibly the person themselves.

At the very least I owe it to my family to stay and be as helpful as possible to the people who have supported me and hopefully others who don’t deserve what’s coming if a major effort of community organization doesn’t happen

What a fucking stupid, needlessly complicated and not accessible system

In addition to what’s been said, I prefer to sort by top 6 hours in everything, and I get plenty of good fresh content all the time that way.

Wow. I definitely do not love that.

Not really, because votes are only counted on a “by content” basis in any way that I’m aware of that is used
