I’m quite partial to Lil Jon’s All I Really Want For Christmas, featuring the Kool-Aid Man.

Yes, the Kool-Aid Man.

I’d assume it’s the same as any other watermark; to mark content as being made/owned by the entity associated with the logo.

As I read it, their argument is that fascism can only be sustained if a sizable number of people who would suffer under fascism actively support it.

If only the tiny minority of elites that benefits from fascism actually supported it, it wouldn’t be near the level of popularity necessary to be sustainable.

My mom did this in high school when a guy who was stalking her threatened to kill himself.

He’s still alive, over thirty years later.

Even if we discovered that plants feel pain to the same extent as animals, a vegan diet would still be the moral option seeing as an omnivorous diet requires more plants (via animal feed) than a vegan one.

Efficiency of energy transfer is lost very quickly at higher trophic levels.

The update from CS:GO to CS2 made the game unplayable on my aging hardware which is the only thing that got me to stop playing.

I’m in a single-player game phase now, and I have to say it’s nice having gaming sessions where I don’t get called every slur imaginable. That being said, Counter-Strike scratches a very specific gaming itch for me, I’ll definitely come crawling back one day.

Explain how AI haters or doubters cross over with Veganism at all as a comparison?

They’re both taking a moral stance regarding their consumption despite large swathes of society considering these choices to be morally neutral or even good. I’ve been vegan for almost a decade and dislike AI, and while I don’t think being anti-AI is quite as ostracizing as being vegan, the comparison definitely seems reasonable to me. The behaviour of rabid meat eaters and fervent AI supporters are also quite similar.

It’s admittedly been a while since I’ve played Skyrim (probably over a decade), but can’t you just make a save right after the character creation? Or does it not let you save during the escape sequence at the beginning?

The testing elements in Portal 2’s maps are technically Turing-complete, and people have made very simple “computers” with them. Here’s a video from 2012 of someone building logic gates.

There’s also VScript which PortalRunner on YouTube used to port an NES emulator and make a web server. Their channel is really good if you like this type of silly hacky fun.

two guys and their enby buddy

Thank you, I will exclusively refer to the Holy Spirit as “enby buddy” now.

Oh and this is how I imagine they look like:

Seriously! I get that we’re in a severe housing crisis, many people can barely afford rent and the homeless population is ever expanding, but won’t anyone think of the cars?

Anyways, if you can’t afford an apartment, you can always sleep in your car! You can’t drive an apartment, checkmate liberals 😎

If this is your reaction to someone describing cute things they’ve done with their partner, I honestly feel kinda sorry for you.

No one pronounces “JPEG” with a ph sound, though.

Fun fact! The word milk has been used for plant-based liquids and saps since at least the 14th century.

Die away upon your hill, but historical and popular usage disagree with you :P

For junk mail, it might be worth checking if there’s any way to opt-out with the postal service in your jurisdiction.

I know where I live (Canada), you just have to place a notice on your mailbox that reads “No unaddressed advertising”.

French is my first language, Parisians were still assholes who switched to English because they didn’t like the way I spoke French.

Everyone outside Paris was cool, but I totally get the stereotypes about Parisians. I don’t entirely blame them, living in a city that gets that much tourism must suck, but I am still salty at the guy working in a pizza place who served our party entirely in broken English despite us only speaking French to him.

Tomatoes, cabbage, and onions, that’s a lot of vegetables in one meal! Are you one of them woke f*gs?

The amount of people worried about my nutrition as a vegan but who wouldn’t bat an eye at someone eating McDonald’s every day…

Democrats stopped using “gay” as a pejorative like 25 years ago. We all agreed not to anymore.

The amount of homophobic rhetoric I’ve seen used to describe Trump and Putin is really contradicting this statement.

Democrats love homophobia if they can justify it as “we’re saying homophobic things but only to homophobes therefore it’s okay! It’s tactical homophobia, not actual homophobia!”

(To be clear, fuck both Trump and Putin, they’re monsters, but saying shit like “Trump just wants to suck daddy Putin’s removed” is homophobic.)

Unless I absolutely have to for logistical reasons, I refuse to talk about me being a vegan to others.

It typically results in a debate in which I have no desire to participate. I’ve had the same conversations with people over and over again in my 9 years being vegan. I always either have to censor my opinions, or I end up upsetting someone when I say I think this thing they’re doing is morally wrong.

People rarely engage the topic with genuine curiosity, they usually just want me to assuage their cognitive dissonance and tell them “oh the way you eat animals is totally acceptable!”
