The average human eats like 3 pounds of food a day iirc. If even a pound of that was cheese you’d probably die within two weeks. I don’t get the joke in this post.
- Comment on Sacre blu 14 hours ago:
People don’t like cheddar? There’s like five cheeses I would say anything bad about. Cheddar is nowhere near that list.

Ah, I didn’t know that brand existed. Maybe I’ll get one when I get fed up with these roombas
- Comment on 😎 yeah 1 day ago:
My Roombas seem to randomly oscillate between “systematically cleaning every inch of the floor” and “randomly bumbling around the room, often dying nowhere near the base”. Yesterday I saw a new issue. The newer Roomba failed to run as scheduled. Checked the app and it says the robot is cleaning. Went and checked and it was sitting perfectly still on the base, just with the light on that it uses to light up dim rooms. In general if either of mine run three times in a row without multiple points of needing help, it’s a “win”. As far as cleaning all the details, I gave up on that long ago. I could notice a piece of debris on the floor which stays through multiple cycles. On carpet and hardwood. I got suckered into buying a second one somehow but I won’t make the mistake a third time.
- Comment on 😎 yeah 1 day ago:
…both are Roombas. The brand you mentioned. One is ten years old, the other ~2.5 years old. The older one works better than the newer one which I’ve already had to have replaced once. Besides the unreliability I see daily, they are pretty well known for their unreliability…
- Comment on 😎 yeah 1 day ago:
…so you just leave facial hair and fingernails on the floor, assuming the Roomba will clean them up? I have two Roombas. In every aspect, they work about 30% as well as expected, on a good day.
- Comment on US will allow truckers to drive 16 hours per day instead of the previous limit of 14 hours 3 days ago:
Yeah. Nothing scares me more than trucks on the road. I’ve had close calls, heard about many close calls, seen them drive like shit thousands of times. I haven’t seen body parts myself but some of the accidents I’ve seen make me think they were not survivable. I’ve also known people who work on crashed trucks and the stories are pretty disturbing (amount of blood left in the truck, etc).
Trucks generally clog up the highway and it’s clear to me from the many times I’ve seen them ride side by side for miles, preventing anyone from passing them, that they communicate and see non commercial/smaller vehicles as being a problem to unite against. I’ve seen truly unhinged driving from truck drivers. I can sometimes feel for them because it’s gotta be a tough job, on the other hand they can easily kill me and I find myself wondering how much they think about that. We surely don’t need rules relaxed which help abate those kinds of driving problems. We need less trucks on the roads and a better rail system. It’s hard to imagine any of these needs being addressed in the US though. We cannot all even agree that law enforcement shouldn’t be murdering and disappearing US citizens right now… :(

I see. I thought it was sarcasm but I wasn’t totally sure how.
- Comment on US will allow truckers to drive 16 hours per day instead of the previous limit of 14 hours 4 days ago:
I don’t follow what you’re saying
- Comment on US will allow truckers to drive 16 hours per day instead of the previous limit of 14 hours 4 days ago:
Then we’ll be expected to ignore the immediate uptick in related accidents and fatalities
- Comment on Speaker connected 5 days ago:
Lol. I wasn’t aware I could’ve done that. I just saw a notification on my phone for a nearby connected speaker. I could pause and play from the notification. Not sure if that particular setup had any more options.
- Comment on Speaker connected 5 days ago:
I had a jerk neighbor who did this and I decided to pause her music multiple times just to fuck with her. This was once after she went full on jerk with us. Would not have done it otherwise.
- Comment on Why do people refer to characters in movies by their actor's names? 5 days ago:
Makes perfect sense to me that if you forgot the characters names, which I often do, you would use a name that another person would understand without having to look up a name that they wouldn’t know anyway.

- Comment on Tracked GPU prices daily for 3 months. Watching the ~32% jump happen in real time didn't make it any less annoying 1 week ago:
Many unpleasant things are worse when we see them in real time. It is enraging though. I’m wanting to build or buy a PC soon and it’s outrageous. Memory prices for what I bought five years ago ought to be half or less now. Instead, last I checked it had increased by like 30%. I’m considering using ram with known stability issues because it’s so expensive buy new

- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 weeks ago:
No I understand. I don’t think anyone is implying that because mushrooms aren’t plants that it makes veganism bullshit. My response came from a place of me wishing things like that could be discussed without the black and white thinking. I haven’t heard anyone discuss that. And I have a feeling the knee jerk reaction would normally be defensive.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 weeks ago:
No one said any of that here.

I guess you’re going for hoardes of people vomiting like in that one family guy episode. Might work.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 weeks ago:
Yeah. I think it comes down to the absolutism. They almost certainly ate some amount of meat/animal products themselves, but once they arrived at their current principles, they have no more understanding for it. Rather than remember that they too had to learn/work to get to their understanding, they see you as an enemy for not sharing it. Of course I mean if you offer even the slightest pushback.
I’ve reduced my meat intake by a lot and I agree with what you wrote here. If vegan food was widely available everywhere I’d probably eat WAY less animal products. But dozens of vegans online have given no shits about that, whereas a reasonable person would, and would have some level of empathy toward not being 100% with them on everything they say in terms of applying the knowledge. I totally get wondering how a person could acknowledge animal suffering and still participate in it. I’ve examined myself over that one hundreds of times now. But it’s the reality, it’s where I’m at. And I should be able to talk about it without an automatic assumption that I’m a thoughtless monster who is trying to tear down their worldview. I’m not. Is this about me personally? I’m talking about so obviously yes it’s sorta personal that I have these unpleasant and unproductive conversations on the Internet sometimes, but I truly would rather them not happen for anyone else either. For the toxic assholes who really do want to tear down veganism, they’re worse people, but I already knew that. For the vegans spewing hatred at all the “carnists” I expect better and I think I’m right to. They changed their lives for a good reason. Now why the fuck can’t they talk about it the majority of the time? It’s frustrating.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 weeks ago:
That’s fine. You’re not able to understand that I am not against you. I’ll block you now to avoid this in the future.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 weeks ago:
I have known vegans IRL who are genuinely reasonable and can discuss this stuff. On the Internet, 95% of the time you just cannot even discuss it with someone who identifies as vegan, I would imagine even if you’re a vegan yourself, unless you 100% agree with them on how to apply the philosophy. In this very thread I asked a question and it was all but ignored and I was assumed to be shitting on veganism rather than questioning a specific argument/interpretation of it. I think it sucks because I literally agree with like 90% of everything any vegan says, it’s when they veer away from the facts and more toward personal feelings they have that I cannot talk to them about it anymore. It makes sense on the one hand because if that viewpoint resonates with you it’s gonna make you upset to think about and to be shit on for, but on the other, if it cannot even be discussed without false assumptions, insults, and avoidance of inconvenient facts on their part, they’re just going to lend credence to the anti-vegan prick arguments. Because of this extreme inability to even discuss the topic I have to block a lot of vegans because I’d rather do that than always remain silent for fear of upsetting them. They always seem 100% convinced I’m an evil carnist who hates them and is pretending not to be just to erode veganism, but it’s just not so.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 weeks ago:
I don’t know what edit you’re talking about genuinely and I don’t know why you think I accused you of anything multiple times because I didn’t.
So the answer to my question is “because they didn’t consent”. Okay. This could’ve been reached much more simply and without all the assumptions which you refuse any responsibility for and blame it on me for not being clear. I get that vegans deal with a lot of bad faith arguments but if you assume every argument or question is in bad faith, that’s not helping anyone.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 weeks ago:
Are you asking what the point of veganism is since you’ve randomly decided it isn’t a coherent philosophy based on your own strawman?
Did you even read anything I wrote? Because that’s not what I said or believe.
