No, I'm making fun of people who are obsessed with ultralight (almost like a disease or virus), while also pointing out why people want something like this (ultralight backpacking).
Also poking a bit of fun at you (not maliciously) because if lots of people use these or similar designs in order to reuse the water bottle for drinking and they don't get sick from it, then it's probably not that big of a deal. No harm meant tho, if it's not something you're comfortable with that's fine 👍
The reason ethical vegans don't like reductionism is because it's still fundamentally speciesist. It's like if someone goes to see a dog fight every week, people get mad at them for supporting animal abuse, so they only go once a month instead. Is it technically better? Yes. Is it still fucked up? Also yes.
Eh, it's hard for me to respect someones beliefs when they use those beliefs to justify causing harm. And if someone believes that experiencing a good taste in their mouth justifies killing, I don't respect that at all
Re: vegan cats, they actually can do well on a properly planned/supplemented vegan diet, although more research is needed. If you're against nutritionally complete vegan kibble, you should be against all kibble
"However, there is little evidence of adverse effects arising in dogs and cats on vegan diets. In addition, some of the evidence on adverse health impacts is contradicted in other studies. Additionally, there is some evidence of benefits, particularly arising from guardians’ perceptions of the diets. Given the lack of large population-based studies, a cautious approach is recommended. If guardians wish to implement a vegan diet, it is recommended that commercial foods are used."
Eh, sometimes it makes sense to just call things as they are instead of trying to tiptoe around peoples feelings.
If you don't think artificial insemination is a form of rape/sexual violation, then idk what kind of meaningful discussion we can have. If you don't think unnecessary killing is murder, then again idk what kind of meaningful discussion we can have. (Note that there's not really any good reason for the term "murder" to only apply to humans. If someone kills your dog would you be opposed to the use of the word "murder" then?)
Yep, I switched because I was moving away from the proton ecosystem lol. Their poor google-free android support for mail, and awful linux vpn support (they have a hard dependency on networkmanager, but I don't use NM, I use iwd) plus no ipv6 pushed me away
tons of people use this kind of bidet for camping, it's not like you're putting it in your ass. The water can spray like 10 feet, so you can hold it far enough away that hygiene isn't an issue.
I am curios about using an old cap, my guess is it would be tough to get the stream to angle up (with the water bottle upside down), but I'll have to try it next time I get a plastic bottle
At a conference recently, one person accidentally sent the organizer a pdf of their presentation with their notes underneath each slide, instead of the presentation itself, but it was super confusing because the file was "presentation.pptx.pdf" which of course got displayed by windows as "presentation.pptx". The person who decided to hide extensions by default must be so proud of pulling off such a wide reaching prank
Won't somebody think of the plants?!?!
