  Many things aren’t funny. Making jokes about them can nevertheless be funny. Heck, humans joke about death all the time.

  so you know how to eat olives out of that spoon :) in general, you want to use suction for tiny round foods from a spoon, because they’ll roll right off ^^

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is gud⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Tip the spoon? Have you never applied suction to ingest food?

  I just started a rewatch tonight after having mentioned it here :) I loved the show and I think it’s time to give it another go. I am surprised how much of the permanent cast is introduced in episode one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨According to the New York Times, Game of Thrones is the 6th best TV show of the 21st century⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Luckily it seems they were punished for it in terms of ratings. I honestly felt abused after being exposed to that scene, without a warning to close my eyes or skip ahead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨According to the New York Times, Game of Thrones is the 6th best TV show of the 21st century⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The torture porn for Season 7 first episode. The show went from splatter / hack & slash to a breach of the psychological contract between film makers and the audience. Instead of cutting away for the ultra violence, they stayed fully on it, turning this franchise from a zombie splatter movie into sadistic torture porn, with the sadism directed at the unsuspecting viewers.

  I was able to skip past one of those sections because it was telegraphed in the previous season’s ending, but the next one was intentionally designed to catch the audience unaware and was ultra explicit. I did not want to see this and I never consented to this kind of sadistic fucked up shit to be broadcast onto my screen.

  Fuck the makers of that franchise, fuck AMC and fuck everyone involved in that decision for all eternity.

  Yeah that thought occurred to me - but since the list is as dumb as it is to begin with, I didn’t bother looking for rules of eligibility.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨According to the New York Times, Game of Thrones is the 6th best TV show of the 21st century⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  List compiled by an utter moron. Entirely missing (among others) and vastly superior to most on the list:

  • The Expanse
  • After Life
  • Sex Education
  • Firefly
  • IT Crowd

  Also, despite being controversial, probably worth mentioning:

  • South Park
  • The Walking Dead
  • Z-Nation (imo much better than TWD)

  You misspelled male genital mutilation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Should I...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The important thing is that you make a conscious effort to improve. I am the same. I eat cheese and occasionally eggs - rarely even meat, but I try to overall consume very little animal products.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Should I...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Poor roosters. I believe the best solution for that would be the “in ovo” gender detection. One article here: www.sciencedirect.com/…/S003257912300425X - in an ethical egg production scenario, the quoted machine learning could actually be viable: the false positive roosters are simply lucky, and get raised to adulthood / live a happy life ;) If the reason for false positives is not self-enforcing through genetics, they could even be the normal “fathers of the next generation”.

  Assuming, of course, the false positive rate can be lowered enough.

  Re: milk - I have to say, for drinking, if you find a good brand, oat milk can be very tasty - I personally even think it tastes better in coffee / cappuccino than regular milk. And cheese - I just happen to have bought this hour for the first time a delicious vegan “Brie” variant: vanozza.de/en/produkte.html#brie-pfeffer I am positively surprised, after the last couple of tries I no longer thought I would see the day - but this one is actually yummy!

  For oat milk: tastewise best is Oatly Barista, but Oatly is in bed with investors from fascistan, so I go for the second best option which is also delicious: Lidl house brand vemondo, barista drink. Important: it must be the one produced by Grønvang (gronvang.dk/?lang=en) - the one by Green & White from Vlissingen/NL tastes bland / watery in comparison.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Should I...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But if you would keep the cows well, milk products could be made quite ethically…

  Could be - but that would also mean taking milk away from the calves for a while. Not sure how much milk a cow would be able to continue to give and what the quality would be after the calf has had enough to outgrow infancy.

  Now eggs however, those could be absolutely produced without animal suffering. Just be willing to pay more for the eggs so that hens can live free range in natural environments, and still get to continue living when they produce less or even no more eggs until they die from natural causes.

  I don’t see a big ethical problem with snatching an unfertilised egg, considering that hens are able to lay like one egg a day. They won’t miss it if you take away a bunch of them and let them breed out the odd one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Should I...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Spoiler: milk cows get murdered as well. A milk cow is productive for about 5 years, after which they usually get slaughtered for pet food. In that time, they need to have about 3 calves, to continue producing “good returns” amount of milk daily. Two of those calves are not needed to replace the cow, so they get - guess what? - slaughtered and processed to pet food.

  Stupid me grew up next to a milk farm and didn’t realize that until way later than I care to admit.

  Also, I still eat cheese (reduced amounts) and that’s a moral dilemma for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does China have so many multi billionaires if they are aiming to be a communist country?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  as long as the capitalist class is subject to the peoples wishes.

  Yeah I think that’s the part where you missed the news flash about the Chinese state.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does China have so many multi billionaires if they are aiming to be a communist country?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  definitionally

  That’s not English. Maybe don’t go lecturing others about capitalism when you have to invent words for your (flawed) reasoning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does China have so many multi billionaires if they are aiming to be a communist country?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  But. they are at communist as possible.

  Educate yourself. China is de-facto the biggest and most successful capitalist economy on this planet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does China have so many multi billionaires if they are aiming to be a communist country?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The capitalist class in China is subject to the wishes of the working class represented by the party with its over 100 million members.

  LMAO. Do you actually believe that garbage yourself?

  The simple truth is that China is the most efficient capitalist country in the world right now - they combine a totalitarian regime with a huge economy and an actual self-serving but smart understanding of capitalism. They are simply better at playing that game that the rest of the world.

  What we don’t see from the outside is to what degree becoming rich enables you to take influence on the political system. What we do see is that the Chinese “communist” (muhaha) party has an iron grip on the country, but also that they are strongly intertwined with what you call “the capitalist class” (i.e. rich parasites).

  To be fair, the time separators don’t behave well on all implementations of filesystem access by filename. Need to use underscores or omit them at times.
