I mean, yes, it would be? If I can solve world hunger by sacrificing my left arm to the elder gods or some shit, I’m still losing my left arm. It’s still a sacrifice.

The crippling depression that’s completely stopped me from functioning in any meaningful way. That’s definitely the big one.

Forrest Valkai. He’s a biologist who makes a mixture of educational content, videos debunking creationist claims (in an educational way rather than the “look at this fucking idiot” approach that much of atheist youtube seems to take), and just some silly fun in-between.

He doesn’t have the insanely high production value of other channels named here, but he’s the most wholesome person I’ve ever seen. His love for life and science radiates off of him and watching him passionately explain how cool something is genuinely makes me happy in such a depressing and pessimistic world.

I got to step 20, where my password suddenly caught on fire and Paul died.

You make it sound like humans are the only ones affected by climate change. Sea turtles, elephants, polar bears, pandas, there’s a fuck load of animals we’re directly killing off. Everything is most certainly not fine, even if you don’t give a single shit about innocent human lives.

Huh, I had always assumed oranges got their name from the color, not the other way around…

Nah man, we don’t even need to go down the niche scenario route where they can wiggle their way out of it. Even if we give them every single point in their favor, abortion should still be legal. Even in some wild world where life starts at conception, nobody ever gets raped, and people can’t die from pregnancies, abortion should still be legal.

Nothing is more important than a person’s bodily autonomy.

What confuses me is why they chose to use white text there… surely the orange background is bright enough for black text to be far easier to read?

I’ve never understood the “piracy is morally acceptable” argument, personally. Best I can agree with is that piracy is not morally bad in some cases. Especially since me pirating something has no impact if I never would have paid for it in the first place. But it can often times be morally wrong (people who refuse to buy games from indie studios despite having the money to do so would usually fall into this category imo), and I can’t imagine any scenario outside of the preservation of media where it’s actually morally good to pirate things.

Like, I’m all for people not buying things that they don’t support. And I feel no sympathy for large companies that make more money in a day than I’ll make in a lifetime losing out on sales. But when did it become my right to play Hogwarts Legacy or watch a show without paying for it?
