I just hope the lack of net neutrality won't end up destroying the fediverse, too.

Pissed at who, though?
Either way, this sentiment ignores the point in the text about war related profits.
Weird dichotomy, when there's more than enough wealth to take care of both, if it were managed sensibly.
I can't figure out if that community is supposed to be satirical or not.
That's still missing some of the nuance. The way you're phrasing it paints a picture of having known at some point and deliberately burying it. This can also happen, and is called suppression. But it's also possible for this to happen without any conscious awareness from the beginning, which is repression. In that case, there's no "starting" to believe it, because you never had anything else to believe to begin with.
Those things are not mutually exclusive. When you lie to yourself, or just avoid looking too closely at something, you can effectively mislead yourself without actually knowing it. Then you do become that oblivious. This is called repression, and it's how I ended up not recognizing my own gender identity for over thirty years.
"Gulf of the Jade Skirt" sounds kinda badass.
Spring JPA Query methods are kind of like the composite words. You just declare a method with a name that describes the database query you want, and it generates the code and SQL for you.

I suspect the responses you're getting stem from the original phrasing:
what’s the point, evolutionarily, to self destruct after reproducing
The question has an implicit claim that there IS a point, which people are rightly pointing out is not necessarily the case (as you have acknowledged). It certainly is an interesting question to wonder if there could be some benefit anyway, so it would probably have helped to frame it that way.
Not saying anyone is required to meet any kind of bar in the level of discourse in a casual online forum, just an observation of cause and effect, for what it's worth.
Evolution doesn't make deliberate, strategic choices. Random mutations result in new behaviors/properties that may or may not be beneficial, and selection removes those mutations that prevent reproduction from the gene pool. Not every mutation will be beneficial, but as long as it's not harmful enough to stop reproduction, it can persist.
If there were two groups of octopuses, one with the self-destructive behavior and one without, then there would be pressure from competition. In that situation, your point would have more of an impact. But without that pressure, there's nothing to drive the selection. And the mutation won't occur just because it would be helpful for it to do so - it's random.
At least, that's how I understand it. I'm not a biologist or anything.
At least a blåhaj is kind of like a pokémon.
This was me during the APIcalypse. Since joining Lemmy, I have:
I hope you have a good time here as well!
