Npc, or "non player character"
For when you want to pretend people who disagree with you don't have complex inner lives, and are just autonomous husks. Dehumanizing imo
Can comments just be funny? Why does everyone have to try and make some deep point?
Really though why should a broad medium like comics need to be limited in tone and theme? Just because you like unserious comics? Serious comics don't stop those from existing.
I really think we need to get there closer to 2030, maybe 2035, but seriously it is nice to see any plan that doesn't think 2050 is fine
You trying to lead them by the nose to a sane position/definition for genocide, and them just being intentionally obtuse, basically saying "nu-uh" over and over...
Painful to read. Kinda frustrating to see a moderator behave that way. I appreciate your effort though.
Probably some combination of our definition of literacy being adjusted, and the availability of more accurate data about populations and how educated they are.
Sorry I had to just deadpan describe what you were doing. Normally it would be a mood killer, and I would avoid doing that, but the mood in here is already rancid.
You are arguing with someone who is roleplaying.
They are, as far as I can tell, pretending to be some small dinosaur which is in turn pretending to be a human on the internet. It is a bit character.
Honestly its just when asking questions about the political beliefs people hold close to their identity, especially on forums where they are already defensive, you have to do the work to phrase your questions in particular ways that don't make anyone feel as though they are being disagreed with. If they feel like they are talking to a political opponent, they don't feel motivated to answer well, or answer.
I mean, you can do whatever you want, but I've found you can't get decent answers in places like this unless you do the emotional labor to make the people you are speaking to feel comfortable.
I can tell, 70 comments in the 3 hours your account has existed lol
I remember so many nuclear stans on lemmy a bit ago refusing to acknowledge that renewables are getting so good and cheap that they are more important to solving climate change than nuclear. I wonder how they feel seeing investors pull out in favor of renewables?
