- Comment on Why Should I... 11 hours ago:
Absolutely. For me it’s all about harm reduction so as long as I am trying to improve, I can still fall short sometimes without having a crisis of conscience.
- Comment on Why Should I... 12 hours ago:
I am aware and I do make every effort to reduce and remove dairy (and eggs) from my diet, but I recognize that I fall short of what I would consider vegan. Like if I’m at a party and am offered cake I’m probably going to eat it even though there’s probably egg in it, but I’m not going to order an egg-based dish, same with dairy if we’re having pizza or something. As I get older I’m increasingly lactose intolerant anyway, so I have additional incentive to avoid it.

Rennet makes this a much more complicated decision for vegetarians. Like, if I know that the cheese was made with bacteria-derived enzymes, then that’s cool, but it’s really hard to know and trusting random cheese is just like still eating beef sometimes, so even though I’m vegetarian and I end up being so picky about cheese that I hardly eat it anyway.

I never made this connection but now I imagine this as Holden being self-aware / self-critical.

IIRC, Japan_Nobunga is a slop account.

Lots of people take their unruly kids through Walmart, I don’t understand the problem. Was it the jug?
- Comment on What is your experience like for Jury Duty in the US? 5 weeks ago:
Occupation does not automatically disqualify you unless your work connects you to the case in question, but some occupations are not going to make it through voir dire. Keep in mind that you might be sitting on a jury in a civil case. Rather famously, Barack Obama was summoned (after his presidency) and he went, but was dismissed by random draw.
- Comment on Can anyone confirm? 1 month ago:
The people who live in Houston seem to think it’s as good as Chicago, I’d disagree with them but at least there are good restaurants. Also from a population standpoint, Houston is basically the same size as Chicago so it invites comparison in one regard.
- Comment on The forever war for your FACE 1 month ago:
I do like the idea of using a less expensive solution with less plastic. Maybe I’ll look into it again.

I manage to slice my face occasionally with cartridge razors, I fear what I’d do to myself with a safety razor.
- Comment on Before Wolverine got his adamantium body, could he grow back his bone claws do to his healing factor? Or is it just for skin muscile and organs? 1 month ago:
Evil Deadpool was mostly the same as regular Deadpool though. He just called his Doppelganger “Evil Deadpool”. Though I think Evil Deadpool did end up doing something that might hurt a child at one point and since that is the one thing Wade won’t do it might be the single distinguishing characteristic between Deadpool and Evil Deadpool.

Seriously Pierre is only marginally better than the faceless mega corp trying to put him out of business.
- Comment on This guy managed the movie theater I worked at in high school. 2 months ago:
I think ties have fallen out of fashion. At least in business dress. Button up shirt, nice slacks and a sport coat, all tailored. You have to specify black tie if you want people in fancy dress.
- Comment on Geese, why are you like this? 2 months ago:
The resident Canada geese in my neighborhood are pretty chill. The only time I got lip was when I went out the back door and there was a goose, a gander and a gosling right there within a few feet. I received an angry honk as they shooed their gosling away from the stupid ape.
- Comment on Do you think that sitcoms on TV today are horribly unfunny? Compared to older ones? 2 months ago:
You can even watch some of the ones you fondly remember to understand why they aren’t classics.

Fruit loops.
I’ll see myself out.
- Comment on Reckless Ben and the Blatant Corruption - Protest the courts. The Police. The Corporate HQ 2 months ago:
Ben’s heart is in the right place. But he is an idiot.
I know he doesn’t bill himself as a journalist, but I was taught to not make someone else’s story about yourself. Once he inserted himself into the mix and started doing antics he crossed a line, imo, and his legal troubles got magnified and he arguably made the legal issues for the Mansell’s worse.
The video where AFPD is fucking with him and he gets arrested and then talks to the detective instead of lawyering up immediately had me shouting at the screen. Don’t talk to the cops, people. Never talk to the cops, jfc.
I know lawyers are unpopular and expensive, but this is actually a case that needed them.
- Comment on Gog Promotional E-Mail Containing Nazi Symbols Goes Out to Subscribers 2 months ago:
So they knew it was there and decided not to send it to the market where it would be possibly illegal. This is pretty brazen and I cannot imagine what they are thinking would come from this that would make the reputational impact worthwhile.
- Comment on Factorio 2.1 will be the last major update as Wube Software are moving on 3 months ago:
They are borderline exploits that you don’t really need to know unless you want to break the game in kind of unfun ways. You probably wouldn’t find them on your own. But for completions sake the LDS shuffle is Space Age specific and it involves stacking a ton of low density structure productiviy bonuses to create a lossless recycling loop that breaks the quality system severely. Fluid voiding is a way to automatically delete unwanted fluids (you can do it in vanilla or space age). You can always manually delete fluids but by design you can’t automate that process - except you can actually do it by exploiting a combination of behaviors.
- Comment on Factorio 2.1 will be the last major update as Wube Software are moving on 3 months ago:
I imagine the LDS shuffle and maybe fluid voiding will be targeted as well.

I took German in school, then moved to Germany and gained (rudimentary) fluency, then moved back to the US and lost it after a couple decades of disuse.

Back in the late 80s they were pretty legit.

Maybe they will ask their fans if they have phones.
- Comment on Dude read the rules of woman only community and decided to post anyway 9 months ago:
I haven’t noticed anything like this online. I only one time saw a woman post in a MSM community and it was to ask a question, which was fine.
