Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by...
Not sure why you’re downvoted for that. I’m a meat eater, and I’ll admit veganism seems more ethical. But it’s too inconvenient to give up meat, so I don’t. And having vegans around reminds me that I could be doing more to make the world a better place. So guilt.

Reminder that on an iPhone, if you hold the Volume Up and Power buttons simultaneously for several seconds, the phone will vibrate and will require the PIN or password next time you unlock it, not Face/TouchID. This happens whether the screen is on or off, so you can discretely do it in your pocket.
Hah. But I meant that this one has already happened. They didn’t buy the whole BBC, but they are funding the new Doctor Who and releasing it on Disney Plus.
Is everybody still a strong supporter for anyone getting their first covid vaccine that they should should still get their first vaccine shot if never had a vaccine?
You think Starfleet should be zipping around the galaxy, bringing their culture and beliefs to the primitive natives who haven’t even discovered warp drive yet?
I’m not sure getting involved with someone directly in your chain of command is a great idea (is it even legal?), any more then creating a hologram of a real person who is still alive.
So yeah, justice for Geordie, because as written, he’s a bit of a creep.
