  I think they’ve made very clear that they use the Nixon rule. If the president does it, it’s not illegal

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm right and the other vegans are wrong⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Hard agree. I’m no vegan as a fully understand that a) humans are omnivorous mammals who thrive on a mixed diet and b) eons of selective breeding has created creatures that are designed for food and goods and wouldn’t survive in the wild in their current state without either much suffering or outright death of the species. The monocultures created for large industrialized farms are a blight for the environment as well.

  I champion local small scale farms with permaculture and local plants as much as possible while reducing meat consumption in general (at least here, meat is usually at every meal so reducing it to one a day if not every few days would be a huge shift). I also recognize not everyone wants nor cares about going vegetarian or vegan but would accept the reductions in meat use and focusing on buying local if it was made more readily available

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm right and the other vegans are wrong⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Industrial honey is just another facet of my distain and complaint of industrial agriculture as a whole. Almost every vegan argument I’ve ever encountered has been in reaction to the horrors of the industrial process

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would SpaceX continue to be immoral without Musk?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  While yes they’re no longer on the actively shooting babies in the face level bad, I’m not sure they’re a good example of a moral company is my point

  More moral than the thin skinned Nazi nepo baby sure but that’s a low bar

  Pushing EV today is just following the market trends and not strictly a moral choice

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would SpaceX continue to be immoral without Musk?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure you want to use VW for current morality. What with the whole “constantly getting caught trying to skirt emission standards and other legal minimums that cost them money to hold to”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨this is so dark, Black Mirror couldn’t have imagined it⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Calm down DeBeers

  Seriously though, I don’t touch llms and just hoard a folder full of various bat and ps files for different things I’ve needed to do repeatedly. And a few txt files of snippets and one liners for less routine items.

  I do user facing support more than server wrangling. It works better for my workflow since I don’t know what machine I’ll be on any given minute

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨this is so dark, Black Mirror couldn’t have imagined it⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but you’re forgetting one thing that years in IT have taught me. Most people aren’t smart. Most people are dumber than shit, are barely literate, and refuse to learn. They only know “I press this specific button located at this one place for things to happen”. If the button is changed in any way such as a slightly different color or moved by an inch, they are completely lost and helpless

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I need to restart my morning jog⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That was my first thought. Dudes dehydrated as fuck

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A third so far!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The taboo on the word is still pretty strong in several areas of the country so, many people would like you to feel upset by it. Progress and education are two of the only nonviolent ways to change this

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Billionaires used to build libraries and hospital wings, now they just buy politicians.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You know, I don’t think inflation will make much of a difference in this case

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me this morning⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish I lived in a developed nation where I could just “go get blood work done” for a nominal fee or be able to afford to care about long term effects instead of surviving day to day. Not sarcastic, I legit wish that

  Drink faster then

  I can only see one man one jar and that is definitely not age appropriate for that kid

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not on the same level considering the difference in how the Eastern and Western languages are formed.

  I’m generalizing a bit here into Western being Germanic or Latin based languages and Eastern being primarily Chinese.

  Western languages typically use symbols that represent the component sounds of a language (phonemes) where Eastern languages use symbols for whole words or concepts (morphemes). So you would have a single symbol for house or tree instead of a series of symbols for the words.

  This means that the word spelling would change in Western languages as the spoken language changes more rapidly and show a large difference between two closely related languages in their spelling for the same word.

  Conversely, in Eastern languages, the spoken language is not as closely tied to the words used. (To translate into English as best I can: The character for house could be pronounced like house, home, building, cave, lean-to, castle, shed, etc depending on where it’s being said). So, you’d have, after a few generations, the same character pronounced two very different ways with two different meanings

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As an English speaker who’s dabbled in other Germanic and Latin languages, absolutely. I dislike Dutch specifically because it will either start to read like English or German then fall off the deep end real quick.

  Portuguese (at least Brazilian) looks and sounds like a mashup between Spanish and French.

  This is kind of to be expected when you look at the history of how these languages evolved. The reason Japanese and Mandarin would be so easily confused is that the writing system was imported from China and there are a lot of words that either still look like the parent words or very similar. The same for the Latin and Germanic languages as well as their related offshoots. The history of invasion, language mixing, adaptations, and standardization has produced languages that are in various levels of mutual understanding.

  It’s still how most things are made. Stateside, the prison system is the only slavery left but worldwide, there are many examples still going strong. It’s nowhere near as prevalent as it was though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[politics] ya but, at least Juneteenth still lives! herp-a-derp!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, it’s 1-3 days before it and now that’s how I’ll remember when summer starts

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My wife doesnt like when with I tell story's that took place before my wife died. She says, "its very disrespectful."⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But they’re speaking of their wife in the future tense as it’ll be a future event. That’s the point and why she’s find it disrespectful

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My wife doesnt like when with I tell story's that took place before my wife died. She says, "its very disrespectful."⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You misunderstand. Their wife is still alive so Everything is still “before she died”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mr Fraser, if you're nasty⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Could also be congratulations depending on how they feel about the death

  Perhaps we should put our critical thinking caps on for this discussion

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'd like to change my last name and want suggestions⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Truly the most English option

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Graham Hancock? Ounze Legussy.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m almost positive Dave explains has done at least one on him. Milos series was great though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Graham Hancock? Ounze Legussy.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As he should because he gives bad science arguments and outdated theories that, usually, are racist and require you to ignore facts

  I bet a clue by four would be cathartic

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How many Americans think they could beat Donald Trump in a fight?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish I could say the same but my dogs are dumb as hell and the big one waits for me to go down the stairs while standing in front of me blocking the stairs. He also does this going up the stairs, going through a hallway, doorway, literally anywhere. He is too large to step over and stands at an angle to take up as much room as possible

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How many Americans think they could beat Donald Trump in a fight?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What if we give the 8 year old a knife and no rules against using it if needed
