Thank you for actually giving me an explanation instead of just calling her comics unfunny lol

Hey, vegan here! Idk, I guess I do? I eat a lot of tofu which is soy, so if you count that then YEAH. But tofu is so easy to make into what you want it to be that it rarely feels like the same thing, you know? I eat a lot MORE beans then before, but I never stopped to think about it…

The only way I’d be able to tell is if someone watched my diet and went “eating enough beans, my guy?” Lol

The only commercial social media I use anymore (or at least post on) is Bluesky, and I’m getting weary of that, too. I’ve switched completely to open source operating systems and workflows in the past year or so. During that time I’ve also become vegan and am trying not to go to any sort of shop at night. That last one has nothing to do with the state of things at this very moment, but I don’t want to give companies more reason to force people onto late shifts when working in retail/customer service already sucks and even full time won’t get you close to a living. The last thing anyone needs is their sleep thrown off, as I know from struggling with it myself. I may not be able to stop buying things, but fuck working when you should be sleeping. Unless you’re literally an essential worker, in which case those shit shifts should be cycled between people, not consistent.

…I didn’t mean for that to become a rant lmao

Plus with entertainment stuff they’re usually finished once released (or at least they SHOULD be cough cough game industry). It would be better if every game was open source, especially since there are tons of old games that could do with revamps but are too niche to invest in. If we had the source though, die hard fans would be all over that shit and wouldn’t have to spend years decompiling and romhacking! But that said, creative tools need to he constantly updated and should be open source always in case something goes bad. My ROM of Spyro for the PS1 isn’t changing anytime soon, so while it would be better for the source to be out there, I’m not worried about it suddenly becoming unusable.

Not trying to reopen a can of worms but care to fill me in on what happened?

Then ball-ify the mixture and shoot it directly into your opponents’ mouths. Might break a few teeth but they’ll taste alright going down!

I love how this goes along with another reply saying vegans are too weak to play. Shit, man, I’d like to try paintball but if I’m forced to use marbles then yeah I guess I am too weak lmao

I second this, I wanna know

That my strategy when I have to buy one of those dumb TVs. Just leave it ignorant of the internet

Weird considering I need my desktop to just be a tool as well, and Mint really does that for me. Just my experience tho.

That’s literally their first sentence. How are they saying billionaires are good people?

Looks like I’ll have to stop calling myself a “sound guy”

Damn that’s… Really sad lol

This Movim thing is giving me really good vibes! No AI in sight, nor crypto shit. Thanks so much for the suggestion! Why don’t I hear anyone talking about it? If you have any other smaller open source projects to suggest, please let me know lol

looks at our existent (but remarkably shitty) healthcare system, the insane costs of living even when forgoing any sibilance of happiness, and the fact that we were gonna slide into fascism too if it weren’t for the USA doing it first Yeah, better look somewhere else, I’m afraid…

Therapy is supposed to be, if nothing else, a relief. Yes, its important to have hard conversations and take away the right lessons to work on yourself, but how in any way is therapy a chore? Man, I wish therapy was so unnecessary in my case that being forced to take it felt like a slog to get through.

Thank you for the info. I looked at people discussing Matrix for ages here and nobody brought this up? What the hell?

Do any of these options offer screen sharing with audio? That’s literally the only thing I care about in terms of one on one chats that only Discord can do.

Hey I know this is an old comment but could you elaborate on this? I’m trying to choose between Matrix and Stoat and no matter which is better, Matrix is out of the question if it’s into crypto bullshit.

As a Canadian, yeah, our wait times are rancid and they often get glossed over because of how bad America’s healthcare is in comparison. Don’t get me started on how Canadians will excuse any issue with the country because “at least we’re not as bad as America” and shit like that.

But damn it, I’d still take our busted healthcare system over virtually NO healthcare system. Fuck paying to live. Oh wait, that’s just capitalism.

This is the most rational take I’ve seen on the possibility of a general strike. I’ve seen the argument that people need to suck it up and just do it together, right next to the counterpoint that some people simply can’t. They, or perhaps their children or loved ones, could die, and that’s something you can’t just ASK of people (unless you’re a government, apparently). And if not enough people managed to participate in the strike then they would have died in vain. Two things can be true at the same time, though, and I think a general strike is still a good idea, there just needs to be a decently large group of people (who know what they’re doing) to give it a kickstart. I’m sure more people would join as such a movement gained publicity.
