This is also my problem. Hi there fellow Minnesotan, just gonna scooch right past ya there.

You can feel how you want, but the water burden thing is just factually incorrect. A pound of beef uses a LOT more water to raise than a pound of lentils. Or are you forgetting that you also have to use water to grow the stuff that the cow eats?

I removed myself from the food chain a decade and a half ago by forgoing meat entirely. Now I don’t have to have weird moral arguments with myself.

When you said that football guy kneeling wasn’t political, I started to seriously question what your motives are. He literally knelt, during the national anthem, in a political protest against police brutality. Politics isn’t capitol hill bullshit. I’m fairly certain that you don’t have a deep enough understanding about politics to come in here and be the arbiter of what is and isn’t political.

While I understand the sentiment of your statement, and I think it was well intentioned, I think you’re wrong

Star Wars is a movie about the policy of an authoritarian government, and the actions of those that fall on both sides of that policy. It’s explicitly political. It was written to be so.

Yeah, most Americans are generally not into the “USA USA USA” cult-like behavior of it all. Most of us are just regular people working shitty jobs to pay for shitty places to live. And all the grandstanding and “Do something!” from your rant is extremely disingenuous to the people are fucking doing something. Just because you don’t hear about it doesn’t mean it’s not happening. And you’re kind of an asshole for generalizing a whole people like that.

Oh but I heard he lives in a humble little house in Omaha!

“Humble Little House in Omaha”----->

The law is NOT the “only thing holding us back from killing each other”. There isn’t some crowd of killers ready to go, but oh shucks they just respect the law way too much. What a ridiculous notion. If the law prevented us from killing each other then nobody would ever kill anyone.

You can spin up your own mumble server. It’s not that hard, and then once you have that running, you just tell your friends to download the mobile client and boom. You’re done

Is this a world class joke? N’Ever

Still too cheap. It should be “The complete dissolution of the United States as a singular entity”.

Serious question: Do you think anybody would listen? There have been multiple former members of the White House staff and Cabinet you have come out with scathing tell-alls. Then there are the multiple communications leaks. Then outright just stating that they are going to do the thing.

I’m pretty sure we are well past the point of revealing his true end goals and ending him right there

Nonono, I meant to comment on the comment above you. My bad.

I can honestly take or leave Hemingway. I was never particularly a fan of his writing style.

That’s rad! I want to go there some day exclusively for the cats

Great! That’s what it’s all about personal choice and finding what works for you!

The United States is (not very) slowly sliding into full blown fascism. Things are getting less progressive here, not more. If you think that the current elimantionist rhetoric centered around trans people won’t make its way to you and your husband, then you haven’t read a single word of history. Shit’s about to get a whole lot worse for folks.

Mine has Switch games and a few Wii games, but that’s it.

I’m as much as a Linux guy as anybody else, but this really just seems like an interfacing issue. I’ve never done anything professionally with computers, but I run all of my self hosted stuff right on my windows machine (no virtualization) with no issues. The only times things MIGHT go down is when I’m updating. I’ve never used Windows 11, so if it’s as bad as Windows Vista then that makes sense, but then why not just use Windows 10? It exists and you can use it and it works

Fun fact: Ernest Hemingway used to collect polydactyl cats and now, because of him, there is a abnormally sizable population of polydactyl cats on Key West, FL.

You’re allowed to have your opinion, but you are not protected from the consequences of your speech. That’s literally how free speech works. It’s just a dick move to come in for no reason whatsoever and rain on somebody’s parade. Like you read that comment and decided that you HAD to insult them. It’s free to not be an asshole. If people are saying absolutely brutal shit to you over your comment, then they are also being assholes.
