I meant Blender, they seem to be majority funded by regular people.

I may be wrong but I thought they were majority user funded.

edit: looking at their funding reports it seems that way, but I may be misinterpreting it.

I didn't realise I was talking to such a silly billy.

I have a vegan friend who eats pretty normally and does olympic weightlifting for fun, he's pretty jacked. I couldn't find anything to back up your ED claim, any sources?

Also sure, not everyone can eat like everyone else. But you're telling everyone to make all their own food from scratch and if you're doing that then a vegan diet is one of the most affordable ways to do it. I love cooking all my own meals from scratch and I just use vegies and mostly whole foods. and no you don't need to spend every waking hour eating lentils, I usually don't even eat lunch and I maintain my weight and muscle just fine. You can't just make up stuff about vegan diets and pretend you're right. It's silly.

Did you know that before we bred sheep for wool they didn't need to be shorn? Now if they escape they are likely to die because their wool gets too heavy for them to do anything. They also get castrated and have their tails docked and have mulesing done, almost always without anaesthetic. And Once the wool isn't any good they get shipped off to be slaughtered for meat. Usually in bad conditions that cause many to die en route. Imagine any of those things being done to you and say you wouldn't be a victim of something. I honestly don't know how some people can be so confidently incorrect about something.

You like to consume animal products and you're indifferent to their suffering for whatever reason, it's ok, just stop pretending like anything else is the case.

why is it that you're a big dumb poopy head?

Not everyone has a car.

probs better than the $2 DAC that came with the PC. I'm still not convinced DACs have any noticeable difference to sound quality, though.

I'm not sure if this qualifies exactly but the FOSS 3D package Blender has been surviving for quite some time. They're in Amsterdam, not silicon valley, but they seem to do really well off primarily donations and funding from some big companies.

I have no doubt he's controlling things still but he's not the ceo anymore.

I really wish crimes like these were punished proportionately. Forcing poverty on people is violence and it shouldn't be possible to duck responsibility. So often they just go somewhere else and run another scam.

I'm not sure on stats or anything, I know Google has paid a lot of money to get Chrome as a default browser, but I remember a time when it became ubiquitous because the family nerd would tell their parents to use it and so on. It could possibly happen again and have a lot of people switch to firefox because their favourite site stopped working on Chrome. It's the kind of plan that could backfire pretty bad. There's a lot of legal reasons for their hesitance I'm sure, but I think that sort of thing would also play into it. A bunch of parents calling up their children because something stopped working and being told to download firefox isn't outside the scope of reality I don't think.

Is getting people to forego their rights for some free chips bribery?

I don't think there's any requirement that posts have jokes.

10% of profit goes to a charity trying to stop global warming. Haven't looked into the charity but that's something.

This might sound like a crazy answer from a crazy person but hear me out. If they are good people and you're somewhat familiar with them, just call them kooks, say that shit's all made up and dismiss it. just don't be aggressive about it, people can still be on good terms without agreeing on everything. Just be like "nah man, no way that happened these shows are just people who want attention, if it was real there'd be better evidence and it'd be all over the news."

I honestly think this is the best way to go, you're engaging them honestly, attacking the show, not them. And so long as you don't get hung up on their response or 'winning the argument' I think you can all remain on good terms. How you go about this obviously depends on how friendly you are with them but if they're good people they'll still be your friend even if you're too dumb to see the truth about aliens.

it's also a carcinogen, terrible for the environment, awful for the animals and heavily subsidised by the government for some reason.

Great point, haha.

Maybe if we spread the rumour that microplastics cause autism and being gay we can get some proper support from the government to stop using plastic and do some proper research on solutions.

I would never eat an omelette, but a fair analogy.
