wouldn't you need to do 'hail sized pea, hail sized baseball' etc? otherwise you are comparing the size of hail to other objects, rather than other objects to hail

I do want change. Unfortunate for you, I am not in the US. I am from the rest of the world that was affected by your selfish decisions and 'moral high ground' decisions. Thanks for voting for some 3rd party that wouldn't have any realistic chance in today's US of winning. Instead of, you know, helping the rest of the US push for Harris. Under Harris you had all the time in the world to get people in the millions if you wanted to vote for Jill or whoever else. You must have slept so well that night knowing you didn't help everyone pushing to stop Trump with a lesser evil.

But sure, preach to me how you want change by doing no realistic action contributing to it. You were on a sinking ship and you put a plaster over a breached hull. Congrats.

Next time, if you want to take down any system, you must first partake in the system. Everyone has hopes & dreams of a 3rd party winning in the U.S. but it was very. Very fucking vital to give that idea up with Trump on the ballot.

I can jump off a building using a parachute in hopes it will open and generate enough drag to save me in time. A miracle, but it can happen.

Or I can board the skydiving plane everyone is boarding and reduce the risk of above happening.

how the tables have turned. We went from using Malaria to 'cure' STDs (syphilis), and now we're using STDs to get rid of Malaria

No one is excusing an affair. People are merely trying to help OOP navigate an emotionally complex situation: wanting to keep contact with their father despite the circumstances, and wondering if their mother's actions are justifiable or not.

You can do whatever you want, but that does not absolve you of consequences.

I only gave you genuine advice, taking breaks/disengaging is helpful. I cannot force you, ofcourse, there's only so much I can do.

So please consider above, and have a nice day

If you are this allergic to nuance, I recommend staying away from threads that require logical/rational breakdowns of heavily-emotional topics.

You can't just jump the gun (having fun blowing up families) about someone just because they answered OOPs question in an impartial manner.

So if you seriously cannot engage with this topic without resuming to attacks, I implore you to take a step back, reasess, and move on to something else.

I mean, when it comes to killing for food we see it as justified due to it being 'needed' for our survival, so we consider it a necessary evil.

I don't necessarily think having sex with a sheep is amongst any of our survival needs though

I suppose it's meant to represent the colour of gold

"better detailed" doesn't necessarily mean "better art" ...

Art being fidel to reality is it's own subset of art movement, called realism. Many people appreciate it as "wow this is so close to real life/so much effort", but then if you ask people what they think the greatest artworks are they might bring any artist. Van Gogh, Da Vinci, Dalí, Picasso, Pollock, etc.

So no, just because something is closer to real life does not make it "objectively the best art" in the broader sense of art. Maybe you can measure that when pit against other realism pieces, which sre not as faithful to real life.

cherry picking

 

title self-explanatory. Sync is great and all, but i often make comments and then a few days later i remember i made them and i see i got replies

 

this one is based on liminal spaces, and an idea of a story i had that never came to life.

the alternative title for this is "A Happy Place" which i thought adding to the title of this post would make it a word salad :)

 

hello! i decided i finally wanted to make lemmy a more active place, so i am going to post my digital art on here.

i don't really have the best art but i hope my contribution will help :) I will post more eventually.

This drawing is one i made in 2020, and it's of a famous place called World's End.

 

For context i did not know you can use an account from a single instance to post on another. With this in mind I have a few questions:

  1. If I can use one instance account everywhere, why can I make multiple accounts?
  2. Why isn't there a centralised account system?
  3. What's the use of having per instance accounts?

I'm currently considering keeping this main account and deleting the ones on other instances, because if i can interact with those instances I don't see the need for an account.
