I believe it’s actually because Tennessee became a state in 1796, but rulers weren’t invented until 1797.

Surveyor Steven did his best, but his penchant for TN moonshine was well-documented.

Just casually writing him like Marty McFly.

It feels relatively new to me still! Although I’m sure it feels like an eternity to kids. All the consoles that came out through the 90s and early 2000s felt like distinct eras to me.

Oh man, I can’t imagine what you must think of cartridges.

I would listen to this person’s extremely specific rant.

[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by...

People like to characterize those they already want to disagree with by the worst, most extreme examples of the group. So before even considering the benefits/drawbacks of veganism, people have already chosen their position after thinking “vegans are just so preachy and annoying”.

It’s putting outrage before reason, and it’s really common in social media and news:

  • Think about how Fox News viewers picture liberals as the least coherent, unreasonable individuals that they see get interviewed, when in reality most are just normal people.
  • Or the reverse: how people in liberal circles might see conservatives depicted as Maga-hat wearing weirdos who think 5G is killing them.
  • Same with how many religious people evaluate atheism or atheists think of religion by their worst representatives.

In short, I think the answer is that it’s a symptom of tribalism and identity-politics.

No way! She’s the perfect millennial age to have played them from the first of the series!

So right.

I think of this a lot:

Wtf, I swear that wasn’t there before.

I wonder how many times someone playing online has been convinced that their opponent was hacking.

How embarrassing!

As in, it the South would literally have to rise?

Hey, my imagination was pretty good in 1990!
