Thanks I hate it.

For most of the decade I was on Reddit, vegan support was always met with vitriolic opposition unless it was on a vegan-friendly sub. But the last year or so I was on that platform I remember being really surprised to see a trend towards anti-vegan sentiment becoming the unpopular opinion. I was surprised again once I joined Lemmy to see that anti-vegan culture seems to be the popular opinion here, though I’m noticing there is also a stronger pro-vegan culture than there had been for most of my time on Reddit.

What happens when the government figures out who is in possession of the death note and arrests them/confiscates the death note? I don’t know what’s scarier, some rogue nobody with the death note or the United States Government.

The problem is that this time we’ve likely got a few decades at the most to form a movement before a huge chunk of the world becomes uninhabitable and society crumbles under the weight of war and famine.

Looking at how things are going, I have little hope that the majority of people are willing to let go of the status we quo.

I was going to suggest John and Hank Green until I realized you already included them! So how about Destin Sandlin from Smarter Every Day?

Three months and one week still seems like a clean quarter to me.

Alternatively, if we really want to stick to the three-month quarter then we could call the extra week of each quarter an off-week or save it all for the 13th month of the year since nothing really gets done during that time anyway.

Winter is Coming - Light has been my main VS Code theme for years. Alas, no senior title yet…

My dad does the opposite of mansplaining, he explains things using terminology and concepts that are way above my level of understanding and gets frustrated when I ask too many clarifying questions or when I struggle to catch on.

It fucked with me pretty bad growing up and in an effort not to put other people through that I tend to assume people know little about esoteric subjects I’m talking about and try to explain things in a way the general layperson would understand. If they let on that they seem familiar with the subject then I adjust but I do often worry I’m coming off as being condescending :⁠-⁠\

For once I feel like climate goals are the least I’d be worried about should the world’s most influential nation elect a wannabe dictator…

Somebody on RuneScape back in the early 2000s threatened to report me if I didn’t tell them my password and so I reluctantly told them and immediately got locked out of my free, low level account :⁠-⁠(

“I just want to live in a society that uses some of the value its working class generates to improve the lives of the general population in any meaningful way.”

Not to mention the fusion reaction triggered by an FTL foot connecting with said child’s backside would annihilate both parent and child immediately.

I bought a Valve Index two years ago, had fun with it for a couple weeks, then never used it again :⁠-⁠\

Not the original commenter but for me it was that they didn’t integrate well into my multi-device management platform and instead required you to use Sonos’s platform and products to play on multiple devices. The sound was decent but I only had one and it didn’t work with my other speakers so it rarely got used.

It’s cold outside, there’s no kind of atmosphere!

Just when I think we’ve exhausted every good variation of this acorn meme, another one shows up on my feed and makes me chuckle

That’s what I thought and so last weekend I bought a bunch of grow bags because I rent and so investing in raised beds didn’t make sense. Then I learned that my new grow bags are made of polypropylene and will likely be contaminating the food I grow with micro plastics.

But even if I found a good alternative (I’ve tried without much luck), I learned that the water, air, and soil available to me is already very likely contaminated with all sorts of pollutants considering I live near an airport.

Long story short, we’re fucked.

I avoid Amazon whenever possible. I’d rather pay a little more and support a small online business, or better yet find what I need locally.

When parts of The Last of Us Part II leaked, people mistook one of the main characters for being trans and completely lost their minds over it.

As it turns out, they weren’t. >!But one of the supporting characters was.!<

The crazy thing is that sometimes this just works…
