  • Rastafari is also not very cool when it comes to women. It's basically old testament Christianity. Great dietary practices tho.

  • Snoop is worth ~160M he could definitely have turned down this gig

  • Crime in Oakland, California went down 34% in 2024. Homicide down 32%. Alameda County (where Oakland, Berkeley, and other east bay cities reside) recalled the DA in the November election. The cognitive dissonance is through the roof.

  • It is wind chill not actual temperature. Still cold cold cold but not as bad as it sounds in terms of your internal organs freezing or whatever.

  • Trømp

  • Two Norwegians are actually like 14 different languages. I had a girlfriend from Trondheim, i had learned "nynorsk" while living in Sognogfjordane and had a much easier time understanding people in Aarhus where we lived vs her dialect.

  • Good to hear thanks. And proton has worked well for 6? (Steamdeck i assume is using proton not native linux?). We still play V, when they broke mac/windows crossplay I had to install bootcamp to continue playing with my friends. But the family iMac I did that on definitely won't run 7, so was looking into building a linux tower I could use instead and would strongly prefer not to deal with windows.

  • Only game I've played this year. Hundreds of hours though (I have a few friends who I play with usually weekly)

  • It seems to me like a thread about pizza would likely be a good thread to ignore as a vegan rather than going out of your way to poo poo others culinary choices.

    In any case, Cheese Board also makes a super decent vegan pie daily.

  • Cheese Board with the green sauce is pretty life changing IME.

  • Ahh sorry I get our misunderstanding now. I meant as an analogy, for an individual your total income is like revenue is for a company (i.e., money in, not accounting for expenses out). AFAIK the payment to Trump came from Meta not from Zuck.

  • I think personal income is more akin to revenue than profit. If you bring in 100K then you pay out rent, food, expenses, etc and only profit 30K or whatever you manage to save.

  • It's 0.0007% of their 2023 revenue. 0.002% of their 2023 profit. To put into realistic terms, if you made $100K it would be like giving 70 cents.

  • Potato bugs are Jerusalem crickets no?

  • Same here. Sonic fiber and I've had 0 issues. Pay less now than I did for much much slower cable internet before and I think we've had 1 maintenance and 1 outage in the last 4 years. Just checked speed test on my modem and it 941 down 942 up.

  • I don't think they are coming back for those of us who wore them originally but my 16 year old and lots of his friends freaking love them.

  • How old are you, if you don't mind me asking? I'm 40, started paying attention to politics in the Clinton years and then really paying attention with Bush v Gore in 2000. America was full on neolib vs neocon bullshit back then, a quarter of a century ago. The 2nd Iraq War was a big moment for me of realizing that the only thing America stands for is corporate hegemony. Project 25 is no different than the Project for a New American Century, and the "opposition" from the "left" isn't fundamentally against any of it, they just pay a bit more lip service to culture issues (which are of course important if you aren't a cis white christian male, but they are clearly not enough).

    Tl;dr

  • I'm not a Jain so take this with a grain of salt. Their philosophy of nonviolence believes in two sets of rules - one for ascetics and one for "householders". The former renounce everything in service of nonviolence (they often wear masks to prevent breathing in any organisms, carry canes that they use to tap the ground when they walk, etc). The latter have more "reasonable" restrictions (but are still pure vegetarians, etc). So maybe for the former group?
