There are exceptions in liberal cities, but data shows that Americans consume a LOT more meat on average than most other countries.

Realistically, pushing veganism is simply a bad choice in America. Instead, we should be pushing a simple reduction in meat consumption. Just educate people and encourage them to REDUCE meat in their diet.

• Take away the government subsidies that make our meat artificially cheap, doing that alone will naturally raise meat prices and lower the average person's meat intake.
• Consider throwing a carbon tax on the types of meat with the greatest environmental impact, why not?
• If we want to be more equitable we could only tax the "luxury" meats (like goose, veal, lamb, oysters, or expensive beef cuts that are usually only purchased by upper class people anyway).

There are a lot of ways to skin this cat (lol), and I think we've sufficiently demonstrated that most Americans are WAY too resistant to cutting all meat out of their diet.

Yeah, I don't think a smear of creamy sauce like that looks as appealing as a darker sauce would. Maybe a little ramekin or container would be best for sauces like this. Or some other creative way of doing it.

More importantly, if you find something free, expect it to be from a very sketchy company. You should be paying for something like this, and you should go through a company that you TRUST.

Yes and no, IIRC the last time I installed a cracked game (disclaimer: it has been a decade) I was required to install the game first with internet OFF, then replace the .exe with a cracked version. But it's entirely possible that there are a lot of newbies doing this without blocking traffic, and launching the game with their internet on and without the crack. So Unity might not see EVERY pirate, but they will definitely see SOME. How many, I'm not sure.

Depends on how much money they take over the long term I assume.

Personally I don't care and I don't really think it's THAT unethical, but it is definitely theft. So be aware if you pull little tricks like that in the future. If you get caught, you'll DEFINITELY get fired and your employer MIGHT press charges (and they would win).

Uhhhhh honey what you're describing is called "theft". Also known as "fraud" if you want a different name.

But to answer your question, I usually shit during working hours, so I get paid to shit. It's a great feeling.

Fair, I think what I'm trying to say is that I wouldn't expect Joe Rogan's show to be as immediately offensive to those outside of America, who are missing the context of all the internal conflicts we have here.

It only uses Sync if you set up a Mozilla account. If you prefer not to do that, you can still set a Primary Password and the passwords will remain local on your machine, encrypted: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-firefox-securely-saves-passwords

Yeah the distinction is pretty small, and usually people are just talking about FOSS software....but I'd rather avoid the semantics so just calling the community "open source" makes sense to me.

I don't have a definitive answer to your first question, but why would we want to limit a sub to FOSS-only discussion? It's a more restrictive designation. By calling the sub "open source" we're keeping it open to software that isn't technically FOSS.

I don't think he's QAnon. I don't think he believes MOST of the nutjobs that he lets on his show, or even cares what they believe. But he lets a bunch of QAnon people on his show, so a bunch of QAnon people listen to him. And he keeps letting weirdos on his show because that's what his listeners want.

I would agree that the context is entirely different in Asia, his show is mostly harmful to Americans and wouldn't affect other countries much.

Ah yes, they fired a bigot. How dare they!

I'll see if I can find a password manager created by other small-minded bigots and let you know.

That doesn't mean the website isn't garbage. It's good to call out trash sites like this so that people will stop going there.

LOL I have Ublock Origin so I don't see the pop-ups but the website just freezes after 3 seconds of scrolling, and I have to leave. They've really ruined their site. 😆

Very standard with any VPN, I'd say 150Mbps is quite good compared to the competition. You're sending your network traffic through a tunnel to another location, then they're relaying it to other places. There are several bottlenecks along the way.

It's fine, if hit-and-run leeching was a huge problem then more trackers would enforce seed ratios. But most don't, because it's not. The fact that you mostly leech just means that you can't most private trackers. Oh well, just use the public trackers instead and seed what you can.

Okay, how bout they do the math, I check their work, and if I disagree I let them know? And what if that process didn't involve a bunch of complicated bullshit rules, and what if I didn't have to put money into garbage tax companies' pockets?

I have one source of income and I am not rich. I don't have a trust, or investments, or multiple jobs. My taxes should be simple as hell, easy to file, and free.
