Trebuchets, which btw are far superior to catapults.

Of course you can discuss patriotism even with people who are not patriotic, or who are patriotic for different things. That’s what this whole post is for.

Because they make people want to mate with you

This is the Photoshop tutorial

One of the funniest memories from when I was travelling (around 2017) was many tourists holding up their giant tablet devices, fumbling with them to try take photos of things.

I hope you at least gave them a nice smug smile when you walked back in.

This happens in a lot of countries. For me I noticed it particularly with young people in Germany, and pretty much anyone in Norway.

Can make it slightly frustrating when actively trying to learn the language by speaking with people 😅

As a counter example, I managed to make friends with a Swiss person while elsewhere in Europe, and then later in my travels got to visit them in Switzerland for a few days. My time there was truly one of the most breathtaking and memorable experiences of my trip.

Maybe it’s expensive, maybe Europeans are “cold” personality wise, but God damn they have got some incredible scenery.

I mean it does look cool.

Next time I have a bunch of extra cash to throw at a decorative art piece I’ll consider it

To be fair, the first despicable me was decent imo. But the abominations which followed…

Fake nails. I have nothing against people who wear them, but for some reason it just instantly makes me think we are not compatible at all.

If it’s the SpongeBob squarepants theme then it’s ok. In fact that’s a bonus.

Isn’t doing things to avoid boredom exactly what a hobby is? :D would you consider hiking to be a hobby?

I read it more as an answer to people who might “wish justice” to people making false accusations. LTT seem to me to be saying that the law is probably on their side, but that they are willingly choosing not to follow through.

Had they not mentioned this, it might leave many people wondering?

Just my take on it.

A pro Po, bin ich, auch Arsch.

You make it sound so easy, but mountain lions are notoriously good liars.

It’s much more like politics than it is religion. People take a stance because of their values, ethics, mortality, etc (as opposed to religion which is generally a more irrational basis for belief). And the reasons for being loud about it follow from that.

So if you can understand why someone might proselytize about the situation in Gaza, then you should also understand why someone might proselytize for veganism, even if your views might align differently for different issues.

In seriousness, the reason people try spread vegan ideas is the exact same reason people try spread their political ideas: because they believe there is injustice in the world which they are trying to help fix.

While I agree, I am also not sure why vegans are being singled out for this, since I see memes and post shoving leftist politics down people’s throats constantly, and not just in political channels.

It seems that for most people, the throat shoving is only a problem when they disagree with the content, and there are a lot less vegans on Lemmy than leftists.

But again it wasn’t the team, and it wasn’t " throwing shade" it was one guy, who listed it as one reason against AI. Power consumption is also a valid reason against using gentoo. People are able, and indeed should be aware of potential problems and downside of things, even if they are involved in other things which also has those issues. I am sure most of the gentoo team would readily acknowledge that energy consumption is a downside of gentoo compared to other distros.
