Someone once wanted to play a music CD on my computer. You seriously think I bothered to buy a CD reader for this thing?

Which is why I suspect all the talk about moral issues and bull, and they just want the tech just in case it comes to a "real" war.

What are your butcher's political beliefs about food safety laws?

Compared to veganism, not lacto-ovo vegetarianism. It's of course a difficult issue due to conflating factors, i.e. to speculate wildly the mental heath effects of being vegan in a world that hates them.

Your article puts pescatarians at the top in longevity but has vegans above lacto-ovo vegetarians. Maybe dairy is an issue and just ovo vegetarian is the answer.

Meat is not necessary. Plenty of lifelong vegans healthy enough to disagree on that. However it's pretty well documented that a diet with an amount of meat is healthier than straight veganism, though in much lower amounts than we generally consume. Animal husbandry is also likely an important part of sustainable large scale agriculture, but again not in a way that remotely resembles modern mass scale cattle production.

Some cultures eschew dairy almost entirely. Most of the world is lactose "intolerant" actually. Not sure why it would be considered an important part of ones diet.

That 9% is just what is emitted by the soil and animals itself if does not account for the transportation and electricity costs of agriculture.

I really breathed more often than every 4 when 500m was my best event, is breathing that often really the common consensus?

It wasn't they became rare, it was ubiquitous refrigeration that made them popular. It was prison food because it was basically spoiled.

Food preparation and collection could be very labor intensive, i.e. digging out roots with improvised tools.

Great now I can quote somebody about why I think technology is evil who isn't the Unabomber thanks.

I have absolutely loved every impossible burger in patty form I've been served, it's certainly not fooling me as real meat but its good enough it doesn't have to, but every time I've had it crumbled its been dry and fairly unpleasant. You can definitely ruin it in preparation.

Oh their are plenty of racists in software development don't be fooled by the lip service companies dole out.

OH! I hit that one too, quit the game over it. Very obnoxious finding endless forum posts of people having the same bug as you, and not a solution to be had, and your not even being paid for it.

The legal = moral line of thought is one of my most hated things to come across. It correlating with the highly religious makes sense, but it's by no means limited to them. It's incredibly wide spread in American culture to have at least a small degree of that, people always feel naughty when they break the law. I too find it ridiculous.

I suspect it's just marketing. Consumers like seeing the big numbers because they assume bigger number more effective.

There is a strong preference for new houses, add in their superstition where if someone dies in a house it might as well be considered unmarketable and you get a market where you have to always keep building.

You can't call out the meat eaters so directly, it makes them upset and there are a lot of them.

It's something you can't understand without experiencing yourself. Always sounds pathetic from the perspective of people who have lived their lives having okay mental health.

It does, Factorio is an impressive software project anyway you look at it.

It's disgusting how bad its gotten. It's assuredly partially nostalgia, but I think also partially truth, but the internet of my younger years I remember as being filled with labors of love, pasionately created content most places you look. Now it's difficult to find much that isn't lowest common denominator pandering or essentially white noise.

Something happened over the years that caused, at least in my experience living in America, people to incredibly deeply associate legality with morality. I suspect this is universal to some degree in societies around the world and in history. But how prevalent it is in my lived experience feels deeply Orwellian. As long as Big Brother approves your in the right, right?

You might want to take a step back and understand that these are different markets.

People who are not wealthy often do not have the nutritional knowledge or easy access to grocery stores with good produce. The issue is deeper than time.

Don't apologize the notion is deservedly laughable. BTC only has value in a technologically advanced society that you expect to continue. If you are concerned with societal collapse it is the absolute worst thing to expect to have value.

It really is ALL about getting stuck together with people. Friendship is more about familiarity and mutual understanding than similar tastes or whatever initial compatibility people over value. Anecdotally some of my most meaningful friendships are people I legitimately hated but were forced to learn how to get along with.

A closely watched ballot box filled with pen and paper votes is more secure than any online system will ever be.

It just steadily became more common. Turns out replacing real in person socializing with digital distraction is just not a good idea/

Founding father fetishizing (or whatever you want to call it) is very taboo in lefty circles because of how much conservatives do it. But that doesn't stop me personally from thinking that that group of people had the best ideas and developed the best framework for government the world has ever seen. It's just a shame it didn't work out to their intentions in practice.

They only ban subreddits as a reaction to them pulling negative publicity. Has to be offensive AND making noise for them to do anything.
