Wait till you learn about alfalfa.
Sorry. It’s not okay to oppress women (or anyone else). Don’t give a fuck what any religion says.
Watch your back. You might hurt it contorting that much to make every world problem the US’s fault.
As if this religion (and many others, yes) didn’t always have this problem.
I was forbidden from having a MySpace account. It didn’t stop me.
Infinitely incorrect. Not reproducing is the greatest lack of a negative impact a single person can have on the environment
Don't stop there. You can end all your emissions now by killing yourself.
NOTE: I would not like anyone to kill themselves. I am pointing out the logical end to this particularly stupid argument.
Unfortunately, I don't think that's true. Here's some US data I found with one quick search.
To add to that, as underdeveloped areas become more modern and income levels increase, it tends to follow that meat consumption increases along with it.
I would be very happy to be proven wrong on this.
I’d say the person repeating the fossil fuel talking points.
I'd say it's the one discouraging people from changing their habits, thereby continuing to give money to fossil fuel companies and big ag.
Yes, also vote. But discouraging people from changing is so obviously in favor of the groups you purport to be against.
I provided my source showing BP hired a marketing firm to get the public to focus on their individual carbon footprint.
I find that comments like these seem to give the person making it license to continue doing things counter to their stated goals of reducing the affects of climate change. I'm sure it makes you feel better about doing it but I'm here to say, you can certainly make a change on your own, every single day and do not have to wait to act twice a year (in the US example) to vote to improve things.
That is a good example and heavily informs my voting habits.
What’s more realistic to change? A few dozen companies or billions of people?
My comment was meant to encourage the readers of the thread to make a change. So I think I'll switch around your question.
What's more realistic to change? YOUR own consumption habits or corporations?
What's ironic is your argument is perfect for discouraging individuals from making changes in their own lives which would improve climate change. Who is the shill?
Obviously women DO have it worse
In what ways? That's important.
For example, we're WAY better at killing ourselves.
“But the defect that prevents independent presidential candidates West and De la Cruz from appearing on Georgia’s ballot does not pertain to the number of signatures acquired; it is that West’s electors and De la Cruz’s electors filed no nomination petitions at all,” Warren wrote
This is who you want representing you? They couldn’t even properly get started, seemly because of a misunderstanding of the law.
I also find this quite telling:
A spokesperson for West’s campaign urged voters to still choose him even though such ballots wouldn’t be counted.
You had no chance before though third party voters don’t like to admit it. Now you literally have no chance in hell and yet you still want to siphon votes. Hmm.

Hello fellow former southern Baptist.
I hate to admit it took me way too long to realize the blatant hypocrisy.
Glad you made it out.
Ahh yeah. That’s tough.
If you’re in a position to sell snacks I wonder if that would do well for those walk ins.
Notice this response isn’t “that’s wrong and here’s why” it’s “someone else also said this”.
Even if it were true that I was repeating BP taking points, that’s not a good reason to discount it.

To help drive the point home, how many widgets will a company make if no one is buying them anymore?
Corps make and sell what we buy.
Arguments like yours seem to condense down to “I won’t change until a corp forces me to” which makes no sense to me.
The MAGA Scramble to Defend Mark Robinson
Those still on the North Carolina gubernatorial nominee’s side are pulling from a grab bag of weak tactics.
Original Atlantic article (paywall)
Could use some recommendations for a (usually) quick typist.
At home I have a Das Keyboard with Cherry MX browns and they feel great. I think this is the quickest I've been able to type on any keyboard.
I type a lot for my new job and no one cares if I bring in my own keyboard but for my coworkers sake, I don't think I want to bring in browns. I'm a heavy typer and frankly I'm loud on browns.
I searched for quieter keys and found Cherry MX Red Silents (Durgod keyboard) but after typing on it a few days at work, I'm making way more mistakes, I'm typing slower, and my hands are more fatigued. That's when I learned about linear vs tactile... I think tactile is what I need.
So with that, I'm looking for:
Need:
- Tactile
- Light switches (should not take much force to activate? idk. Browns are good for me, for reference)
- Quiet
- 100% layout
Want:
- Switches I can put the Draula keycaps on that my friend bought me. I just know they fit fine on Cherry MX Browns and Red Silent.
- USB-C port. I have a coiled cable I want to use already.
Nice to have:
- Hot swappable PCB
Open to other info I'm not thinking about.
Edit: After looking around some more this evening, I'm leaning toward grabbing a Keychron K10 Pro, grabbing some Zilents V2's and sticking those in there, then popping on the caps I have. This would be the most building I've done for a keyboard. See any issues with that?
Update
Based on the recommendations here and some other threads I read, I went with a Keychron Q6 Max and the Zilent V2's.
I confirmed that my poor speed and accuracy on the (previous) new board I had gotten was definitely due to my not being used to linears. After a day of using the new Keychron with Zilents I did a typing test and got a new PB.
Thanks for all the suggestions! Now I'm in trouble because I want to replace my home keyboard with the same...
A newbie helping newbies - Launch Firefox profile from shortcut.
I recently switched from Windows 10 to ZorrinOS (after a quick detour to NixOS... OOF) and in the course of setting things up how I like, I ran across some interesting stuff relating to flatpaks and shortcuts. I wanted to get this written to provide a resource for other people who might be switching.
This is a guide to making a shortcut to launch a particular Firefox profile, on a Ubuntu based distro, while running Firefox as a flatpak. This is just how I did it, put the files where you want.
- Make a directory to hold the launch script and a shortcut icon. My script:
#!/bin/sh flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox -p youtube
Obviously, make it executable.
Because Firefox is running as a flatpak we can't just launch it using firefox
. They're actually stored in /var/lib/flatpak/app
and can be launched like this.
https://opensource.com/article/21/5/launch-flatpaks-linux-terminal
- Create a text file in the Desktop directory with a
.desktop
extension like this:
[Desktop Entry] Name=YouTube Comment= Launches Firefox Youtube profile Exec=/home/user/Documents/firefox-youtube/firefox-youtube.sh Icon=/home/user/Documents/firefox-youtube/youtube-app-icon.png Terminal=false Type=Application
https://www.baeldung.com/linux/desktop-entry-files
- Once saved, make it executable. Right click > "Allow Launching". Done.
Just for fun, this is the image I like for it.

I honestly thought this happened a while ago...
Reno 911! episode where they stop chasing a (naked?) man as soon as he crosses out of their jurisdiction.
I seem to remember this was a Reno 911! episode but my YouTube searching hasn't been able to find the episode/clip.
I think they were chasing a naked man but none of the cops wanted to touch him for obvious reasons. They made a half-hearted attempt to cuff/capture him but as soon as he crossed out of their jurisdiction (county line or something) they throw their hands up because that's not their job anymore.
