I'm one of those people who was made vegan by another leftie! It took literally years of patient, open, honest and non-judgemental conversations and a lot of self-criticism. I actually owe that person a lot, and I'm incredibly grateful to have had them in my life. So it can happen, and people can appreciate it.
I want to preface the rest of this by saying it isn't supposed to be apologetics, just my honest take. Food is kinda my thing, I spend a lot of time thinking about how and why people make the food decisions they do. Carnism is a brainworm like any other. It's heavily pushed by industry, widely adopted by society, and strongly enabled by governments. If anything it's probably one of the more resilient ones, just because of how deeply food ties in to identity through culture, family, history and memory. Everyone has a favourite comfort food, or a meal that brings back fond memories. That shit works on a biological level and the industry absolutely knows how to hijack it. Abandoning it all actually takes a hell of a lot of effort for most people, who can't even seem to manage cutting down on soda. It takes practical lifestyle change, psychological, and to an extent, physiological, rewiring. Logically, I agree with you; if you're a leftist, you should be vegan. People don't generally make decisions like that logically though.
It's also the hill I'm furthest from dying on with regards to my social circle. I've met enough vegans who see it as a shortcut to "being a good person" without actually doing any of the self-crit necessary to arrive at the decision organically. I've also been around enough otherwise switched-on, generally cool lefties who eat meat but get squicked out by even seeing it uncooked. And yeah, the secondhand cognitive dissonance hurts. But I know which one I'd rather hang out with.
I remember seeing this on shelf in video stores back in the day. No recollection of actually watching it, but that cover definitely pings a memory.
This is really good. Enough of the old levels to keep it vaguely familiar so you're not completely lost, enough to twists to be interesting. Not an overwhelming amount of new engine stuff, but enough to pull off some very clever tricks. A couple of moments that actually made me laugh out loud, and some genuinely creepy sections that play heavily on your understanding of the old levels. Highly recommended.
My first thought is breakage. Some drunk person ending up with a mouth full of glass shards sounds like a bad time.
Yeah I'm having issues last day or two. I feel like it's been intermittent up until today. Now nothing loads, here or federated.
EDIT: Okay, weird. Image posts don't load but embeds in comments do. At least, embeds in comments on federated comms.
EDIT 2: Embed uploads aren't working either.
Stuff like this isn't usually packed strictly by weight. It's packed by "volume that probably weighs about the right amount based on average density". In most places there is a legally allowed +/- % to enable manufacturers to churn out slop as quickly and efficiently as possible. They're supposed to have a QA department that makes sure it averages out over a large number of packages, but in practice who knows. Regulators are usually too busy / understaffed / underfunded to police that kind of shit proactively anyway, and even if they do get caught, the fine is probably less than the savings they'd get from shorting customers en masse. The manufacturer will absolutely have done the math on that.
So fuckit, more power to him.
I haven't read up on Discord's TOS lately, but I absolutely would not trust them to not spy on my shit.
The site asks for contributions ranging from $10, which will earn donors a vote on the location of where the statue will be permanently installed, to $25,000 to receive a limited quarter-life-size bronze replica.
Oh, it's a grift.
It's better than iron dome because it's gold.
Fun thought exercise but functionally irrelevant. It still feels like I'm making decisions, so that's close enough.
Perfect. No notes.
Bazzite only really does gaming mode on AMD GPUs (RX4xx+). As a general rule of thumb AMD cards are usually better supported under Linux. Bazzite's desktop mode should work fine on a 1660 though.
ACAB includes Orion Pax.

Tried this but all I ended up with is random chunks. How do you pull in the remaining matter from the other cans where parts of your tomatoes ended up?
McD's changes their menu and business practices to suit the local market. In India they don't do beef at all.
This is covered in another thread on this post if you actually want to know. I suspect you don't, and just want to post gotcha arguments in bad faith.
Just lurk there for a while. IMO, biggest misconception is that they're omnicidal lunatics. They have a lot of in-jokes and bits that seem incomprehensible and border on unhinged to an outsider, and sometimes they kinda lean in to the perception. But if you spend enough time there you realise they're very intelligent and deeply empathetic people. The "unlimited genocide on the first world" rhetoric is an expression of frustration rather than actual intent.

Jhezes fuck, this is it, isn't it? They already paid for the subscription so if it doesn't get used it's a waste of money and won't be in the budget next year.
