Lol

I will say I think this outfit has a better chance of working if you’re a black dude, an indian dude, or I guess generally have a very dark complexion. Would not look good on my pasty ass basically no matter what.

I think that demands a more saturated pink tie. Putting that one on white would probably look extra washed out.

I don’t think so. The patterns are clashy, and neither color really is playing as an accent… But I think the worst part is the white collar against the pink tie TBH. To me this is loud but doesn’t say anything.

Edit: then again, basically no matter what vest, shirt and tie you bring to me I’m going to say no, esp if you’re going to accessorize like a train conductor… But you know, I might not be the target audience.

If you voted for trump and AOC you need to make sure you never leave home without your fucking helmet on. Fuck.

How invest in either mentors or dementors.

I know it’s hard to read a very serious name like a vegiddler, but try to remember: the real victims are the animals.

Wow so cool thanks for the update 90 days late and a dollar short. I’ll file it away, ya vegiddler ;).

How many people to knock down a fox News building by force?

None of it should factor. At all.

The distinction between the candidates was clear enough:

1. I will lower your taxes (for billionaires), I don’t like immigrants, and I will say all the stuff you think and the lefties made it bad to say. Also if I don’t win I’m going to jail because, for enough money I will do whatever you want (for Russia, Elon, or anyone else).

2. I am an actual qualified candidate.

There was no choice. It was taxes and fear and tribalism with a special sprinkle of election interference attempts around the horn.

She was appointed? So what? Elect her because she’s a better choice, then fix that problem.

No offence taken in any way. Nicely written.

You are right that to be able to have specific, nuanced discussion and move minority positions to equal footing there is often a need for a new lexicon “Carnist” in particular makes it sound to me like there are vegans, and there are people whose entire life is meat. To me, it’s a laughable turn of phrase.

With respect to communities and subs, I don’t think that it’s so cut and dry as “most people aren’t vegans, so they necessarily don’t like where vegans congregate”. That is a little bit reductionist. I suppose you weren’t here to see it happen, but this vegan sub basically crapped it’s pants because of one power tripping exmod until the technician came and took it over (which may have started with this post actually). As that was happening, the most active users were suggesting jumping to .ml instances and to go to vegantheoryclub which self advertises as anarchy-forward (fine). MAYBE because people like me browse “all” instead of my subs most of the time, being in the main stream leads to too many downvotes to combative–but in group–content for comfort. Even still, maybe we don’t have to go hang out with tankies?

As to vegan theory club, I visited several posts to have sane and rational discourse only to have my comments immediately deleted. As I recall, these were not short or offhand dismissive comments but actual attempts to engage. Comments deleted, users banned, and Hamid specifically doing it as the instance admin and leaving “fuck america” footprints. Suffice it to say that it really chapped my ass, and as an American looking down the barrel of another Trump term, I don’t like Americans that much either. Between him, beaver, and some other high activity accounts, it is mostly not worth the effort to try to break into these communities.

Considering deer hunting, yes the comments were flippant and I deleted all that yesterday. Still though, where I live hunting is the only population control for deer besides overcrowding and disease. It saves me buying beef, and I assume is a much better way to go than a wasting disease or a high speed encounter with a car.

Nicky jam is apparently a fucking moron. Which we never could have figured out from face tattoos and a side hat I guess, because they are so trendy and awesome.

Giant fuckin dirt hat.

Welcome to lemmy! I saw your opening post and wondered how long until we interacted.

I see and understand your perspective on veganism vis a vis religion, and I will say most of my commentary is not based on the topics of your argument.

Rather, when I say veganism as a religion, I’m referring to unyielding evangelism or knee-jerk denunciation of “carnism” which I put in quotes because I honestly think it’s a pretty ridiculous attempt at a stake in the ground for veganism. But that’s, like, just my opinion, man.

All of that said, your argument DOES make sense with respect to couching veganism as the atheism/agnosticism of the discussion if it weren’t for the merciless/alternating evangelism and then going to touch “home base” in a vegan community. I would even be OK with that situation, but the host instances of vegan subs are awful. It says something really profound to me that most people don’t want to associate with the instances veganism call home.

Foolproof**

F

I had the same feeling. I honestly just feel like English is a junk drawer of depth borrowing various languages, but maybe average speakers don’t try to dig deep into it?

I leave it sit for 23 seconds, then hit it with 1 Tbsp of baking soda and plug the hole.

You’d think that, but believe it or not: blood or potatoes.

…

So the three little astronauts go into the Martian house of blood, and the big bad says “L̶̛̲̗͕̞̍e̸̢̛̼̦͔͋̚͝͝t̸̩͎̺̙̗̙̃ ̶̝̖̣̃̌̚ḿ̵̡̻͆͘ę̸̛́̀̌ ̶̡̙̩͆͂ͅi̷̢͙̓̈́͛͂ń̴̬̩͔̳̱”

BOOM! Alcohol!

Or maybe people who don’t live under the American 2 party system DONT UNDERSTAND HALF A FUCK of what’s going on in our elections and should shut the FUCK up and eat a whole potato instead.

Respectfully.

Edit: But it couldn’t be that, otherwise why in the everloving butthole would you still be talking out of your poop shooter?

You shut your whore mouth.
