That’s a really old xkcd! Thanks for digging it out!

You’re still underestimating human stupidity? In 2023??

What’s a “year-post”?

Ok, not a single bullet was fired before Ukraine decided to defend itself? From what?

I just think it’s neat.

That’s fine. People who don’t care about cookies will accept them anyway and those who do care about cookies will know not to visit that site anymore.

Is Rock okay? If so: And So I Watch You From Afar

Judging from the speed with which he locked up Clinton, a central promise of his 2016 rallies, no-one needs to worry about this.

Nothing, and a few probably will. But a few small groups are much more easily handled. I wouldn’t be surprised if smashing the group was the main motivation behind the plane crash.

No, this is in single player. Both when I load the main menu and the game. On a brand new pc, too.

Progress bars going to 100%. Many games are guilty of this, Baldur’s Gate 3 most recently. If 100% are loaded, why am I seeing the loading screen still? The game should be starting. You’re clearly not at 100% if I’m still watching the loading screen. It should be impossible to see a fully filled progress bar.

Artificially make progress bars stop at 99% if you must, it’s still better than watching 100% being a clear lie.

Don’t read the comments. Ever.

And if you catch yourself reading them, stop.

And if you catch yourself repl- well, shit.

I’m sure everyone can take their clothes off. This is in no way discriminatory. Also, the majority of “natural highlights” is meant for clothed people to enjoy, I’m sure we can concede a few places to the nudists (who are very welcoming to all people, provided they’re able to take their clothes off in the dedicated nude places).

And if you can’t take your clothes off, your troubles are elsewhere and you should work on them before you take away the nudists’ beaches. I believe the prudes and scared-of-nakedness evangelicals have a whole country they took away from indigenous people to sunbathe fully clothed in.

How do you not hit stuff when reversing? I agree that it’s tough to judge with mirrors only but it’s definitely possible if you’ve been driving for more than two weeks.

Drivers simply don’t give a shit, everything else is just excuses.

Shouldn’t the driver be able to know where their car ends without a concrete barrier?

Valheim too, even better than NMS, in my opinion.

Can we just say porn, please? This isn’t US cable TV, bad words won’t scar your children here.

It sounds like you already have counterarguments to those two points. Why not make them in a discussion instead of refusing it outright based on what you perceive as weak arguments? I’m not vegan and won’t argue about the merits of these arguments, my only point is that it’s unwise to refuse a discussion unless your opponent adheres to arbitrary rules you postulate.

As to your second paragraph, I think you’re referring to a different commenter. I don’t believe I made a point about believing something to be possible. Please do correct me if I’m missing something, though. I do agree with you here. Lab meat won’t save the climate. But, to be fair, that wasn’t your original point which talked about forgoing meat consumption altogether. Which I don’t believe will happen since we can’t even reduce car sales but it could definitely be part of a solution for climate change.

“I’m fine with discussing veganism as long as the vegans stop making objectively true but uncomfortable points.”

The first point is obviously subjective (and your interpretation) but the other two are facts. Animals need to die for you to be able to eat them and somebody intentionally killed them in order to sell them to you for consumption. Calling this murder is a bit polemic but not factually wrong as it’s an intentional and pre-mediated killing - the thing we call “murder”. And yeah, if everyone stopped eating meat, climate change would slow down because fewer resources would be spent on breeding and raising cattle. It’s a scientifically proven fact and also kind of a no-brainer. You don’t think people will stop eating meat but that doesn’t make the point any less factual.

I do eat meat, by the way. I just don’t deny uncomfortable facts and don’t get angry at people stating them. This is exactly what I meant when I said your guilt is your own. You know these facts are true but you don’t want to confront that. This makes you uncomfortable to the point that you lash out at vegans who you perceive as guilt-tripping while they’re just stating facts.
