The Satanic Temple is close enough.

THERE ARE SEVEN FUNDAMENTAL TENETS

I One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

II The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

III One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

IV The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one’s own.

V Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs.

VI People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one’s best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

VII Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word

They want to blanket ban porn after all. That’s why the announcement only mentions being debanked for being a conservative and specifically calls out legal transactions.

That’s just outright fraudulent activity, is it not?

Or “Why isn’t there a straight community? Are the gays winning?”

Microtransactions are for pussies, macrotransactions are where it’s at

You’re trying so hard to DARVO this that it’s almost cute

The fact that this post continues to stay up is an indictment of Lemmy moderation

The existence of modding communities is predicated in being communities first and foremost, not jobs or money making schemes. This behavior poisons the well, creating a toxic community that makes the mods inaccessible to those not willing to be nickel and dimed after already purchasing the game.

They do need permission from the building owner to bring people inside to look at it though. And that usually involves paying them.

Or: they don’t know anything about her and only have her appearance to go off.

It is an approximation of intelligence. Literally a universal approximator trained on “intelligent” data. I can think of many applications where such a tool would be a brilliant fit but I swear tech companies are hell bent on cramming it into every single niche that it doesn’t belong.

Seconding this. It’s not incredibly common but it’s not incredibly uncommon. Research shows that most people who have it don’t notice it until it’s pointed out. Drugs and stress tend to exacerbate the effect as well.

At least the starbursts make street lights pretty at night 🫠

He wanted to prove he didn’t hate homosexuals. Somehow. Not just to “own the libs”.

Something basic like the Mass Effect series helps sell the idea that you really did form a fully fledged relationship over the course of the game. As for Cyberpunk, the setting is literally designed to be dripping with sexuality. It’s not necessary for the story itself, but if you removed all the sex ads the setting simply wouldn’t reach the same level of “megacorporations maximizing psychological exploitation techniques”.

They succeeded in getting GTA5 pulled from the shelves of two of the largest physical distributors in Australia.

My favorite old cookbook is a wine cook book. The author is an obvious and unrepentant alcoholic that perfectly demonstrates the time period it was written in. One of the recipes was literally “melt a bunch of cheese and stir in wine while it cools, then pour the wine cheese into a loaf pan to solidify”, encouraging you to have a glass while you do so.

No but there’s no law against expelling a state from the union. Kind of a reverse secession if you can piss trump off enough for him to actually do it (no law saying that only Congress can expel them, so it would go to the courts).

People were distributing edited versions of the dress image just to fuck with people. I’m convinced that trolling was the root of the entire “debate”.

Anyone who makes peaceful revolution impossible makes violent revolution inevitable.
