I mean, 1) don't do that again and 2) antifungal creams. I feel like I shouldn't have to tell you to use antifungal to fix fungal infections

It's not stupid, it's just difficult (especially for the reasons you mentioned)

For a multi billion dollar corporation it takes some major effort to start cutting into their pockets, but it can be done. It happens to games and animation all the time: too little engagement means no payoff. If they can't turn things around the show gets cancelled or the game shuts down services and stops printing physical copies.

If 2 billion people suddenly stopped buying fries from McDonald's you can be damn sure they would notice. Even if they still bought everything else, that's at least $2bil dip in a single day (I don't know how much it costs anymore, haven't eaten McDees in about 5 years)

A single drop of water isn't much, but the deepest seas are made of individual droplets.

Reply to [PM] Give me prompts to help me think of some character and plot ideas. I'm looking to write a Cyberpunk story without being too derivative of the series I'm watching right now (Cyberpunk Edgerunners). Bonus points if the prompt includes something to help make the world unique and different. by SorryUncleAl

A counter culture to the cybernetics and corporate overlords has gained traction: worship of a cosmic horror someone made up. The widespread devotion attracted a real one, and it hates capitalism.

Animals definitely torture and rape (which falls in the torture category)

Ducks, cats, chimpanzees, dolphins, orcas. Play with their food, harass other animals for fun, spite, and I believe some species of ape have been observed having wars between families. I wanna say the word is "troop" for a group of apes.

And many animals definitely are somewhat aware of themselves. We've taught apes sign language, taught dogs and cats to communicate with sound boards. Just a matter of helping them make the connections.

Vegans would have a much easier time converting people if they weren't assholes about it, because they do have some solid points. I'm cool with plant based and other cruelty free options. If we can find a way to mimic burgers and steaks consistently at a similar or lower price point I'd happily give them up for good.
