Too bad most Canadians are fucking idiots and didn’t realize or understand that 80% of households benefitted from the Carbon Tax, receiving more than what they paid in the first place.

We just decided to kick the environment in the groin and take money away from the poorest Canadians. And somehow the oil companies and media oligarchies framed this as a win for the “working and middle classes”.

As I read it, their argument is that fascism can only be sustained if a sizable number of people who would suffer under fascism actively support it.

If only the tiny minority of elites that benefits from fascism actually supported it, it wouldn’t be near the level of popularity necessary to be sustainable.

My mom did this in high school when a guy who was stalking her threatened to kill himself.

He’s still alive, over thirty years later.

Even if we discovered that plants feel pain to the same extent as animals, a vegan diet would still be the moral option seeing as an omnivorous diet requires more plants (via animal feed) than a vegan one.

Efficiency of energy transfer is lost very quickly at higher trophic levels.

At home I typically alternate between a V60, a French press, and an Aeropress. Since getting more into pourovers, the Aeropress has mostly been used for iced coffees in the summer.

That being said, I’m currently working as a barista full-time so I don’t drink any coffee at home. My espresso consumption at work is already entirely unreasonable.

The update from CS:GO to CS2 made the game unplayable on my aging hardware which is the only thing that got me to stop playing.

I’m in a single-player game phase now, and I have to say it’s nice having gaming sessions where I don’t get called every slur imaginable. That being said, Counter-Strike scratches a very specific gaming itch for me, I’ll definitely come crawling back one day.

Explain how AI haters or doubters cross over with Veganism at all as a comparison?

They’re both taking a moral stance regarding their consumption despite large swathes of society considering these choices to be morally neutral or even good. I’ve been vegan for almost a decade and dislike AI, and while I don’t think being anti-AI is quite as ostracizing as being vegan, the comparison definitely seems reasonable to me. The behaviour of rabid meat eaters and fervent AI supporters are also quite similar.

I remember seeing this while playing the silly Mario Kart map in TF2.

It’s admittedly been a while since I’ve played Skyrim (probably over a decade), but can’t you just make a save right after the character creation? Or does it not let you save during the escape sequence at the beginning?

My highschool geography/criminology teacher. He’d routinely make us discuss current events in class, and really make us analyse the points we brought up. It really helped guide me into making my own opinions rather than just accepting things at face value.

Shout-out to great teachers. Thanks Mr. Robin!

The testing elements in Portal 2’s maps are technically Turing-complete, and people have made very simple “computers” with them. Here’s a video from 2012 of someone building logic gates.

There’s also VScript which PortalRunner on YouTube used to port an NES emulator and make a web server. Their channel is really good if you like this type of silly hacky fun.

two guys and their enby buddy

Thank you, I will exclusively refer to the Holy Spirit as “enby buddy” now.

Oh and this is how I imagine they look like:

Seriously! I get that we’re in a severe housing crisis, many people can barely afford rent and the homeless population is ever expanding, but won’t anyone think of the cars?

Anyways, if you can’t afford an apartment, you can always sleep in your car! You can’t drive an apartment, checkmate liberals 😎

If this is your reaction to someone describing cute things they’ve done with their partner, I honestly feel kinda sorry for you.

Wasn’t Hitler partly inspired by the Jim Crow laws present in the US at the time? Pretty sure Nazis have always espoused “American values”.

No one pronounces “JPEG” with a ph sound, though.

Fun fact! The word milk has been used for plant-based liquids and saps since at least the 14th century.

Die away upon your hill, but historical and popular usage disagree with you :P

For junk mail, it might be worth checking if there’s any way to opt-out with the postal service in your jurisdiction.

I know where I live (Canada), you just have to place a notice on your mailbox that reads “No unaddressed advertising”.
