Scorpions are arachnids, so still works.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 week ago:
I’m sure PETA shelters would have more capacity if they didn’t prefer to see an animal dead than a pet. They have significantly higher kill rates than any other shelters, and have made their stance pretty clear that they’re against animals being pets. No wonder they just keep killing them.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 week ago:
I’m no fan of Fox News in general myself, but just because we don’t like them doesn’t make everything they publish false. And yeah, the PETA kills site clearly has an agenda, but their agenda is to try and save animals from PETA’s “love.” There’s sensationalism on that site, but there are also numbers, many of which come from PETA themselves.
I linked the Snopes article knowing that it supported points from both sides. The point in linking that article is that it’s despicable that any of those reports of PETA’s disgusting behavior are true at all.
You know what no-kill shelters try to do when they don’t have space? Coordinate with local foster programs, coordinate with other shelters to see if they have space. There are other alternatives besides taking in a perfectly healthy animal and dropping it in the euthanasia queue.
I’m quite sure there are quite a few things PETA has been accused but not convicted of. When you’re a group of assholes as big as that, you get pretty good at skirting the fine lines of what’s legal and what’s not. They’re hardly the first example of groups like that.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 week ago:
PETA has a lot more fucked up behavior under its belt than the one time they “accidentally” euthanized a dog they stole from someone, and much of their bad behavior has been very much maliciously intentional. Here just a small sample.

And then there’s those damnable IKEA pictographs…

I wanted to go into forensic psychology. But then I took a class on Tuesday nights taught by someone whose day-job was forensic psychology and found out how often you’re likely to get sued just by doing your job (assisting the courts means the losing side will often be pissed at and litigious with you).
I graduated with my BS in Psychology and promptly accepted an IT job - I have a natural talent with tech and had work experience from my student job as a helpdesk tech for the college. Now I work nights from home doing core network maintenance for an ISP.
Still trying to figure out if the student loan debt I’m currently buried under was really worth taking on just to get my foot in the door of barely-lucrative employment.

Not all the way through, but I know what you’re talking about and that does seem like a good representation.

You do realize they aren’t really sending a giant ball of shitty chocolate into space, yeah?

Huh, that has not occurred to me. Will definitely try this.

Seems useful if you’re trained to read these, but it seems like a kinda shitty system to be slapping on stuff for sale to the general public.
- Comment on I bought frozen BBQ eel and the best before date says LJ349. What does this mean? 4 weeks ago:
I mean, you could have just said that instead of the unhelpful bullshit GPT apparently put out. Or just not commented at all if you didn’t actually have anything helpful to add.

Is milk an exception? Because the moo juice always smells a little off to me. I usually have to resort to the take a small swig and pray technique to tell.

For who, though?! I keep seeing articles about this latest round of student loan debt forgiveness, but so far I’ve seen nothing about who this round applies to. Who qualifies and how?

In the address bar of the Firefox app there’s a little icon that looks like a page with some lines on it. Tap that on any page to go to reader mode. Gets rid of most of this junk with a single tap.

- Comment on Nepal tells Everest tourists to take their shit with them 1 month ago:
I’d wager that the love of nature is not something a fair amount of Everest climbers give two shits about, or at the very least it’s nowhere near the “photo op” that’s at the top of their list of priorities.
- Comment on Nepal tells Everest tourists to take their shit with them 1 month ago:
As much as permits and stuff cost to summit Everest, we’re talking about people who have the kind of fuck-you-money that they’d probably just pay the fine rather than risk being seen doing any sort of domestic labor like trash picking.

This is why I run a browser plugin that hides the comment section on YouTube. There are rarely signs of intelligent life there, so I doubt I’m missing much.

Kansas City comes up a number of times in my post history, so I’m not too worried about it. And I’ve got one of those names that don’t really help you in Google unless you’ve already got some fairly specific info on me. But thanks for looking out!
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Yes, you are right. And I have already expressed my mea culpas and understanding it was a shitty thing to say. I’m not really sure what else to say.
It sends up a lot of red flags that you are an unstable and dangerous person incapable of controlling their emotions.
All the more reason I would like my meds to not be interrupted by some company’s profit margins.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
You’re absolutely right. Having moved past the feelings of frustration, I see that was stupid.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Certainly understandable, and I’ve edited the main post to acknowledge the shitty nature of that part of my comments. I think I was just less receptive to @dhork@lemmy.world because of their condescending way of putting it.

Yes, that comment was over the line. No I do not endorse terrorism.

Well as long as we’re taking obviously figurative language and interpreting it literally, I didn’t say I was going to send one, I said someone should. So report away.
