It sold well, but Activision saw more value in VV working as a CoD support studio. They pitched a 3+4 remake and Activision passed on it.

This is the other shitty thing about the prevalence of fake images online. Even though this is easily verifiable, there are people who won’t even bother to look into it before dismissing it as fake. Acting like racism doesn’t exist only empowers the racists.

They’re all corporate cash grabs now. Watch what you enjoy and don’t let anyone tell you you’re missing out on them.

Awesome. I can’t wait to hear you explain why Bernie syphoning away Dem votes and handing Trump a second term would have been great for our country.

I won’t speak for other vegans, but my research into beekeeping and honey production turned me against the industry for the following reasons:

• Beekeepers will commonly clip the wings of queens to keep them from swarming or leaving.
• Semen is commonly extracted from bees by crushing them.
• Honey taken from hives is commonly replaced with a nutrient-devoid sugar solution, affecting the health of the bees.
• Selective breeding of honeybees has made them more susceptible to diseases which can also affect native insects.
• Honeybees have been shown to cause serious disruptions to plant-pollinator networks, putting local pollinators at great risk.

They don’t give a shit about your stolen items, and 9/10 times it’s a complete waste to even contact them over “petty theft”, regardless of how valuable the item/s are to you.

When I was in college, my apartment got broken into. The cop that came when I called was less than helpful. Some highlights:

• He immediately argued with me that the crowbar marks on the door frame must have been there before.
• I told him about the TV that was stolen and he bragged that he had two TVs that were larger than that.
• He tried to bust me for weed when he saw my hookah. I had to explain to him that it was in fact not a bong and was only used for tobacco.
• He mentioned that if it were him robbing me, he would have stolen the microwave instead.
• As he was leaving, he told me that they wouldn’t be able to catch whoever did it, so they weren’t going to look.

Here’s a table of markdown formatting that Lemmy supports. Unfortunately, not every Lemmy client supports all of the formatting, meaning some people may still see the spoiler regardless.

I run but never leave your sight.
You can follow me if you think you’re right.
Hold me closed to alter your voice.
You may pick me, but I’m yours without choice.

Oh, you’re talking about Targ the Ruthless! That dude is a beast!

I’m so burned out on Star Wars and Marvel that Disney would have to pay me to watch that schlock. My only regret is that I cancelled D+ a year ago and I can’t stick it to them again over this bs.

You’ve clearly never met a 2 year old. About a month ago I accidentally let a “fuck” slip out of frustration, and just the other day he was walking up the stairs gleefully spouting “fuck, fuck, fuck” at every step.

Wow that actually looks really cool. Now, how much do I owe you?

Skeet? Really? Lil Jon’s “Get Low” came out 22 years ago.

Now if they had said “Skibidi” that would be a different story.

You don’t think I’m advocating that we make pesticides and deforestation illegal overnight? That would be like saying anyone opposed to automobile emissions wants people to die from supply chain shutdown.

I’m saying that to have the biggest effect on these we eat much fewer animal products, and those of us who can go vegan to do so. This would also result in us breeding fewer animals, not culling the ones that are alive right now…

Even in the most idyllic ranches/farms, which account for only 1% of US production, animals are still selectively bred in ways that can cause seriously health problems, and they’re killed at a small fraction of their potential lifespan: https://www.farmtransparency.org/kb/food/abattoirs/age-animals-slaughtered.

The issue with open pasture farms is they take up enormous amounts of land that could otherwise be rewilded, resulting in habitat loss and species extinction.

Yeah it’s not the end goal but the results are the same.

Plant compost works just as well, I use it in my garden.

Agribusiness levels far more land for meat, dairy and eggs, about 80% of total agricultural use.

It’s also the leading cause of deforestation in the Amazon. https://greentumble.com/amazon-rainforest-deforestation-facts

Go ahead and rant on pesticides if you want, but I’d recommend looking into the types of crops they’re used on: https://faunalytics.org/pesticides-in-farmed-animal-feed/#:~:text=Many pesticides used to grow,enormous amount of animal feed.

Why exactly do people need to die? We grow enough crops to feed 13 billion people, we just feed a vast amount to livestock.
