Screen protectors need to be changed way more often than a good case and they are usually similar is prices so this makes sense to me.

I know you're kidding but I hope people aren't excited about "showing those savages who are boss" at the nees that were bombing people.

I am recently (last few weeks recent) out of the Navy. Not eoas but I doubt people are interested in the reasons and it would be easy to dox me if I got into details.

Its bad. Most of the people in the navy are more than willing to do whatever they are told. I was a role that had a higher than average level of people leaning left and even then most of them were explicitly republican even if they thought trump was stupid.

The military will just do whatever they are told unless someone higher up is willing to break ranks first.

Does it actually play better native than under proton/wine? Should be a dumb question but a lot of the games I've tried that are "native" work far better when I force them to use proton than let them be native.

I'm someone that is from tornado alley. I celebrate when they get hit now because it means that they have to experience the consequences of their actions.

My family is still there and I hope they can get out but, most of the people I met their would shake your hand while stabbing people like me in the back.

It depends entirely on what you are trying to do. There are a few people on YT that have made chips at home. they only have a 100 ish transistors though.

This looks amazing thank you for this. Never would have thought about switching before I saw this.

I'm a huge fan of the lack of downvotes on blahaj because it seems to make me focus on the negative less when I can't interact with it without commenting and taking a ton of time to do so.

But upvotes are still useful because I get some amount of filtering of the absolutely crazy stuff most of the time.

The people that want to be in charge of large groups of people are often the people you least want to be under.

I think a big part of it is because they defeded basically no one. Made it a great instance for modding from but also great for being an alt for people in undesirable instances.

We could do space mining today if their was any incentive to do it. There just isn't any reason to currently but if we start using fusion power (which China has made strides in recently) it would make a ton of sense to get He-3 on the moon.

Hell I give it 20 years before a private company at the very least tries to move one of the really rare earth element rich asteoids into an orbit around earth. From the calculations I've seen we could technically do it with current rocket tech assuming proper planet alignment.

Does anyone read bottom to top? I don't think I've ever heard of a language like that.

Im not trying to come across as snarky I'm genuinely asking because that seems to be the main problem with this one.

EDIT: From what I can find there are in fact a few languages written bottom up but they are not common at all and it looks like there are less than 100000 current speakers even if you added them all together.

Move to a place where they call lunch dinner and dinner supper. It's simple.

I didn't called vegans religious I said they argued like religious people. Thank you for making that point for me actually.

Its easy to focus on more than one thing but it is impossible to care about everything at once, last time I tried to do that I simply stopped caring about anything for 4 years.

Where's the stat for 15-20% for animal emissions? I'm seeing ≈10% for all agricultural and about ≈60% of that from animals.

I don't really get the waste of calories as a point against eating meat? I don't think that we have to be perfectly efficient with all of the things that we use and on top of that the problems with hunger that we experience are unrelated to the total amount of calories we have available and rather the distribution of them.

Yes vegans only use it descriptively and it is never used in a way to imply in short hand that they are bad people. Never. I watched the vegan sub on reddit for over a year so you might want to try that on someone who hasn't seen the way that some vegans talk about people who eat/use animal products. Some people use veganism as a weapon against other people to feel superior I'm not saying it's you but its a thing that you should be aware actually does exist in your camp like I'm aware that there are people that seem to think eating meat makes them a big strong manly man.

Its more because they argue like religious people than someone genuinely trying to convince me. I genuinely do kinda agree that if you want to be as moral as possible you should be vegan. But to be entirely honest I just don't care about animal suffering that much when there are so many issues that affect people and my morality is basically completely human centric.

And inventing what is effectively used as a slur against omnivores really does diminish the idea that they are simply "doing the right thing". I am not saying that the term carnist is a slur for clarification just that in some vegan communities it is used in the same way that one would be used.

Can we bring back ash too then. I know it's not really as distinct but Jesus something about the way that it looks just makes my brain happy.

Carbon really is the closest thing to magic sci fi materials. It's just so cool how strong it is and how versatile it could be. And to top it off it's fucking everywhere so if we can figure out how to make things like this more effectively it wouldn't even be that expensive.
