It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop.

Two things:

  1. I have taken over [email protected] from the squatter who had created it because I anticipate some action once the DLC comes out and the only other ER community is on .ML.

  2. When I made and deleted a post after just a few seconds to add my primary account as a moderator (since you can only do that with users who have posted in the community) it got down voted twice in less than a minute, which makes it feel like someone is following me just to downvote me. Just wanted to say hi to my stalker.

Hello.

Remember that veganism is an ethical way of living affordable and available to everyone*. Eating and using animal products is a choice, therefore killing and abusing animals is a choice. Stop abusing immigrants to butcher animals for your taste buds, thanks. Stop falling for obvious propaganda and cheap lies by the agricultural industrial complex, thanks. This is still a message of love despite the fact that this makes you feel dissonance in yourself, you're human, we get it. Do your best, actually try, the world needs us to be kind to animals and nature.

*as far as is possible and practicable.

Stop with the echo chamber. Dissenting views aren't trolls by default.

You guys and gals a pretty cool! Ok, a lot react way too hard at stuff (I've done it a bit too, check my comment history). But overall, a reasonable online space.

If you've ever said "cowabunga dude" unironically, it's high time to schedule that prostate check.

From "cowabunga, dude" to "ow, my bung-hole, dude!"

Gutenberg was a grifter. He stole money from people, sometime his own family, and ran up debts that he couldn't pay.

The only reason that he started printing bibles and became religious was because he was going to be thrown in prison for swindling people out of money, and it's a bad look to throw someone in prison who prints the word of God. In fact, most of what we know about Gutenberg comes from his court documents.

Also movable type and the printing press were already known in Europe and had already been invented in East Asia several hundred years earlier than Gutenberg. (the first printed texts date back to 700 CE and movable type prints around 1000 CE, both in modern China). It was nothing new.
