I don’t know what rock you’ve been living under where you think base Firefox wasn’t ever improved

I’d be opening up a can of worms that I’m not sure I have the mental energy to organize, source, and talk about in length right now. I will say that if you’ve found a tolerant and science-accepting vegan group, that’s super awesome and honestly not as common as it should be.

Here’s a few veeeery summarized points:

1. Humans are not made for veganism. It can be dangerous and make you very sick, so you need a lot of education on nutrition and a lot of non-natural dietary supplements to make it work. Because of this, forcing veganism on children is also considered child abuse by law in some countries. Either way, you should always talk to your doctor.
2. Healthy veganism is a privileged diet. The logistics for growing, transporting, and preserving food for a vegan diet balanced enough to not get sick is a big deal, and everything gets expensive and out-of-reach for many. If veganism isn’t an option for everyone, non-vegan practices will always be a thing. In which case, vegans shouldn’t be snobs towards non-vegans.
3. Grazing animals are actually very important to healthy soil and crops. And that means controlling where they graze. And at that point, you’re going against what a lot of vegans stand for. And honestly, at that point just use the animals for meat, too.
4. Vegans often condone practices that are unhealthy to humans or animals, and that kill off a lot of animals in order to sustain their agriculture. Not to mention the absolute need for pesticides to sustain large populations, and pesticides can kill off a lot of things on their own. Veganism is (usually) about not harming animals, but agriculture always kills a lot of animals; so one like myself will argue why many vegans are such snobs towards non-vegans, as if veganism is more “pure” than non-veganism

There are two kinds of people who know about [American] veganism. People who joined because they were interested, and people who did objective research as an outsider. And let me tell you, the former has every reason to deny how much the vegan community lies to you about nutritional needs, sustainable agriculture, and even their very inconsistent and exception-heavy morals. If you want to be a vegan as an individual-- for whatever reason-- more power to you. But once you get American vegans together, it becomes a cult of lies, defensiveness, and proselytizing. Just like Christians, or Linux fans.

And just like the fundamentalists I grew up with, vegan cultists like to claim that everyone who doesn’t follow their cult is an amoral/immoral person, lost and confused or at the least in denial. Yeah, that kind of sociopathy really peeves me. Have you tried listening to non-vegans’ opinions on their empathy for animals? And their beliefs about how, yeah, money has made it so that animals aren’t treated well; but many of us individuals don’t condone that, we still care, and we believe in balance? I mean, we’re literally talking in a post about liking that it’s illegal somewhere to declaw cats. I think we are somewhat sane, yeah?

Also, I didn’t even bring up veganism, but you definitely did. Tell me you’re part of the vegan cult without telling me you’re part of the vegan cult.

I’ve had this in my collection for years.

My cat chews them off; but if you can get your cat to accept them, very helpful

Hell yeah, please ban declawing. It’s inhumane. And no, I’m not a nut or even a vegetarian (and nothing wrong with vegetarians), I’m just sane.

“A cat!” yoink

That’s kind of the trend for post-apocalyptic media. Nerdy adults trend towards the cynical, while hope and progress is “kids’ and family stuff”

…Bethesda is a terrible developer and producer with a few good games under its belt that make people really dedicated to it— and I don’t super blame those people. It would be like if half of Zelda games were buggy and unfun and amateur and kinda-ugly trash— and so were most of their other first-party was too— but those three or four great Zeldas and two or three good Marios made people huge fans of the company. Or it would be like, you know, CD Projekt Red making one— maybe two— games so great that people decided all their other games must be great by default even when they’re not (which, well, yeah).

Same opinion, anyone who calls anything “woke” is probably a moron; and if something is called “woke”, then it’s likely doing something good (though sometimes it’s just existing, because morons will call anything “woke” now).

Somebody, somewhere, has put “memeologist” as their career title.

Not regularly; but when I’m overwhelmed, I sit in that position and practice breathing until my breathing and heart rate regulates and my mind is cleared, and then I self-validate until I am in control enough to see the problem clearly and either work through it or continue on with my day. Mindfulness, baby! Works for anger, shame, sensory meltdowns, etc. 💙

I feel attacked.

I came here to say this. This is really the real response. “Prohibition didn’t work” isn’t the reason, it’s the results of a response.

It’s called “Sparking Zero”. Jesus Christ I wish Japan would get sick of the exact same naming conventions it uses for everything that it ever made in the last 40 years. I know I am.

As a person who is bad at reading sarcasm on the internet, this is sarcasm. It’s pretty funny too ^^

Too bad the art direction in Pixel Remasters is so inconsistent and garbage.

…They did.
