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...
All the vegans and vegetarians I’ve met in real life were chill dudes and dudettes. One was an engineer and semi-pro skateboarder that was always making people feel good and happy. Another one was a solid rock climber always smiling.
I know more annoying people complaining about vegans, always grumpy and being proud of always eating meat. I also know this cool swing dance instructor girl who only eats meat, so it’s also good.

“doing your chores” is a sedentary live problem where people stay at the same place long enough that their traces are not erased naturally.
ADHD is the perfect mindset for a nomadic society. Stay to long at the same place (and risk ravaging its ressources)? No problem, you’ll get bored before that happens and seek a new place!
Sedantarity and land owning is a problem to nomadic people everywhere 😁 Of course this is no longer valid in an overcrowded world like ours.
What happens to elements with powers of x above 3? Say we multiply the example vector above with itself. We would end up with a component d^2^x^6^, witch is not part of the P3R vector space, right?
Do we need a special multiplication rule to handle powers of x above 3? I’ve worked with quaternions before, which has " special" multiplication rules by defining i j and k.
There’s a chapter in uncle Bob’s book Clean Code about how everybody dreams of a grand redesign in the sky, but that it never really works out in the end.
Mines are designated war crimes by the Geneva convention Ottawa treaty because of the indiscriminate killing. Many years ago, good human right lawyers could have extended that to drones… (Source: i had close friends in international law)
But i feel like now the tides have changed and tech companies have influenced the general population to think that ai is good enough to prevent “indiscriminate” killing.
“brain drain” is always used by right wing and liberalists as an excuse to reduce tax. The only people that really “drains” are the greedy crooks. Calling it “brain drain” just shows what they think of themselves…
University professors, engineers, and doctors (those who are not crooks) will not leave, they have roots at home and will not leave.
If you purchase used musical instruments, you can usually sell them years later with very little devaluation! Same thing applies for lots of watersports gear and Legos!
Try to get into these types of hobbies, they’re financially responsible 😁
Isn’t there an option for “write-in candidates” in the US? How does it work? Could everyone vote for somebody else to clearly say they wanted to choose, but didn’t like the choices being offered?
