    We’re living in 2025, civilization is globalized, most of the world has easy access to electricity and can work even during night. We don’t need two separate 12-hour cycles to separate daytime and nighttime for <insert your local area>. Let’s move on and use a proper time format.

    And a personal pet peeve, please never call it “military time” - that illogical and ugly bastardization of ISO8601.


  • I guess I should thank you for demonstrating how I’m twisting your words by doing the same?

    “Is a woman’s unfertilized egg a baby?” <- That’s a trap? Of course a woman’s unfertilized is not a baby, nor is a fertilized one until born, since that would usually be defined as “embryo” or “fetus” (if being all pedantic). Though, a woman’s unfertilized egg is an “animal product”, as is a slice of meat.

    Now, I’ve chosen to use “meat” as a synonym, or over-category, for “animal products”. I realize that this generalization might be important for some, so let me apologize for this apparently vital oversight, I’ll try to cut it out in cardboard from now on.

    Regarding your statement about morals, as I’ve stated before, the hyperbole would be meaningless if the creator (of the hyperbole) wouldn’t find any truth or parallel in it.

    I’ve read your statement as “No vegan would ever say: You’re eating meat animal products, but that’s all OK!”, just a whole lot more demeaning and in perfect spirit of the original post.

    And once again, to really cut it out and prevent these misunderstandings of mine, I read your statement as “Vegans will not morally lower themselves to omni standards (edit: /Ethics)”.

    If this was not the intention behind your words, then I will gladly stand corrected.



  • “Are eggs meat?” - Yes, that’s what I’m saying, I’m not sure how it can be understood any other way.

    Though, how can calling somebody a murderous cultist not be considered the least bit demeaning, whereas saying their family should starve is? As per “You wouldn’t say „… I do respect your religious tradition of human sacrifice“” having similar aggressive or demeaning meaning as “I don’t care if your family starves”.

    Can’t those both be true at the same time?

    The “system” is working as intended by the rich elite/<insert antagonist>, which means that it’s fundamentally broken for the general populace, and therefore must be fixed, which is easiest done by first destroying and then rebuilding it?

    Seems like an oxymoron to me, but I’m not entirely sure of the context.

    Partly. A feed is typically a set of rules showing you only your interests and filtering out everything else, and within this subset you then go about choosing.

    Ideally we would not only have “women\men\bi” categories, but also “orthodox (cis only)\regular(mixed)\frisky(trans only)” categories. Otherwise, we might run into the problems which Saltesc describes, now that being trans is becoming more commonplace.

    There needs to be space for everybody (or “everybody whom I don’t mind” depending on who you ask, sad lol), but while choices always have some consequences, we need to be careful that our freedom of choice doesn’t become another’s choice of freedom. I think trans people are (sadly) very well acquainted with this.

    I’ve heard of people who have complained about trans people showing up in their dating feed, mixed in with the cis population, being labelled as “transphobes” and harassed, but good to know that we’ve overcome that.

    That’s interesting. Mine don’t darken at all, if very little. Instead they appear to shift the light, making a white-blue turn green, and turning yellow into orange - almost red. Doesn’t help much with glare or light intensity, but the colour change means that those LEDs don’t burn into my eyes causing me to see a black spot for a few minutes.

    I’ve heard to keep away from normal " yellow tinted night driving sunglasses" or fishing/daytime polarized glasses, but I don’t know the exact science.


  • Haven’t tried it, but it does look interesting and worth checking out.

    I have been playing around with dietpi lately, and while it feels weird to relinquish control, it does make a lot of things much more easier and faster to setup and maintain. Or at least until you need more specific setups. :P


  • To reiterate and hopefully expand a little:

    The postal company has already ordered its workers to deliver all packages, but the workers are defying part of this order.

    The postal company can threaten the postal workers in various ways, but this would be the same as threatening the union itself, which would result in the union doing a full strike against the postal company, resulting in much bigger losses for said company.
