why did you feel that someone, using a foreign word, to look cool, was similar to you using a second language, to communicate with its native speakers? Honest question here. That seems like a big leap in logic to me.

Yeah, people act like a site with half a billion users somehow is only representative of a very niche population contained within reddit. I also love the “well I saw x posted here yesterday and people loved it! Here it is today, and people hate it! reddit can’t make up its mind!”, as if reddit is a monolith, they took the hive-mind shit-talk literally. Then that same person will complain when that reddit is a hive mind…
My guy, this is just how people are. You are in a place where the group is large enough that you, in the population statistics sense, are getting a snapshot of humanity.
Are you sure they aren’t making fun of sovcits?
Yeah something that could easily be taken as inciting a murder, is actually not legal under our free speech laws, so… Yeah, he has no choice in the matter.
Everyone knows that if someone threatened one of the stooges behind this tweet they would absolutely be crying to the website, and police, about it.
She made a skit cutting a fake head off as part of a skit, so it wasn’t even actually this serious.
We had those in place in the US too.
As am I.
Unless you didn’t actually know the height of a bigmac and just made up a number
It would be fine to have released a phone that is spec’ed for a basic user case. My problem is the expert user level price point for it. Disregarding all other gripes about Apple, that is.
Oh yeah, for every vegan that just beats everyone around them, over the head, with their veganism, there are 100, or more, people who go out of their way to insult, and offend, vegans. I have seen far more people do things like try to slip animal products in food, secretly, to make vegans eat it, go out of their way to over indulge in meat because there is a vegan there, and just talk shit, than any vegan proselytizing.
Ultimately I just think that, as it currently stands, allowing animals to have meat, if they are natural carnivores, is better than alternatives. When they get good enough, sure, move on with it.
I do think veganism has had their representation taken over by the loudest, and most obnoxious, elements, but that can be said about nearly every lifestyle, or belief system. This, to a lesser extent, and other things, to a greater extent, is why I hope being able to synthetically produce animal products, will come to fruition. I honestly do not believe most of society can be convinced to be vegan. If the end of humanity isn’t a convincing argument… well I don’t know what is.
But, this is just my opinion.
You would have to pay me, and even then…
There is a burgeoning industry of vegan pet food for cats and dogs. Though the science behind it is far from clear
Vegan cat food being safe isn’t exactly an uncontested thing in the scientific/medical community.

Everything from it being very hard to balance the nutrients in these foods, in a production sense, to veterinary science not being complete on what is needed for proper diet. The foods available aren’t great, and making it yourself is generally worse. Most of the reports of the animals being perfectly fine, when allowed to be closely monitored by experts, show that, while they appear fine, they likely to suffer long term consequences to their health, and often die of them. however it takes a long time, so regardless of the average lifespan decrease, which is abstract, and hard for a general pet owner to quantify, since the cats lived for years, people assumed it was fine. There is also a lot of mis/disinformation from the pro side on the actual QOL of the animals, both because they aren’t experts to know, and, to a lesser extent, data gets fudged to support their goals. This is not to say that the same can’t be said of the con side.
Don’t know about Ikea, but when I see this distinction it is usually because the item is made of specific vegetables, where as the plant-based is usually textured vegetable protein.
Oh, Oh, are you also a “welfare queen”? You would be like a sleep paralysis demon.
The US is an imperialist hypocrite of a country. Like that is just a damn fact. As you point out though, the issues leftists, not in these spaces, have with places like hexbear, and ml, is the fact that they back authoritarian regimes like China. China who is in the process of the US playbook of economic imperialism with their BRI. They are committing a genocide, they are exploiting much poorer countries, to hold them in economic dependency, and they are discussing annexing land they do not own any longer, and haven’t for a long time now. No I am not talking about Taiwan.
They are making so many similar moves to the US post WWII, and have an economy that is dependent on allowing capitalism, to the point that they have a billionaire class second only to the US. While the US is growing its police/surveillance state, China is leagues ahead on that one. The big thing China doesn’t have, is something similar to the massive global infrastructure the US developed to be able to deploy, and supply, its military in a time frame measured in hours. China is trying to develop something along these lines, but it has the US/NATO super structure all ready in place, it will have to, at least partially, displace. This will not be easy.
This person is saying Putin wants the territory back, not the government system. They even say the statement was hyperbolic.
Ashamed, of being born, in my ass
Different, but still hiring fuckery
Friend applied for a job, database admin, HR called to set-up and interview. Two days later he got an email from the IT department, of that company, telling him that they weren’t actually supposed to be responding to applicants for the position. He emailed asking if the posted position had been filled, and then received weirdly worded response saying yes, but implying that it never opened for that particular job post. Then they stopped communicating with him. They were just posting jobs they weren’t hiring for.
He passed it all off to a link for, employment law, at the city chamber of commerce. Not that anything would be done.
