Hey! As a vegan stoner, I resent that. I use an Arch-derivative (EndeavourOS btw).

Peanut Butter Sunday and FUUDGE are two French Canadian bands worth checking out!

unbiased source of news

I honestly don’t think this is possible.

Who’s deciding what counts as “biased” or “unbiased”, and how do we ensure there’s no corruption there?

How do we determine “the truth” about controversial subjects when general opinion is split?

Even if you did determine a magical method to broadcast exclusively factual information without any spin; the choice of which information gets broadcast inherently introduces bias. You can’t put literally everything that happened on Earth in a day on the evening news, so you have to choose and prioritize which information to broadcast, introducing the bias.

I’ve always thought a better solution would be having news sources be more explicit about their biases, rather than pretending they don’t have any, but I realize that just introduces more problems without necessarily fixing anything.

IIRC, Spotube streams its music from YouTube.

If you go about it with curiosity, especially if you focus on recipes instead of ethics, you’re probably good. Sharing food is such a big social thing that you get a bit ostracized from when you’re vegan, so it truly is nice to share recipes with earnest people like you seem to be.

Now if only I can figure out vegan meals that would do well in my smoker!

I’ve never used a smoker so I’m not quite familiar with the process, but my first instinct would be trying something with seitan. I did find some recipes with just a quick search.

If you do smoke some seitan, feel free to invite me, I’ll bring drinks! :P

I’ve never made anyone become vegan, but a lot of my friends have definitely opened up to incorporating more vegetarian or vegan meals into their diets, which I do count as a small win.

A friend who used to be very much the meat & potatoes type has recently been texting me excitedly about the new vegan recipes he’s been trying out. He still regularly eats meat, but hey, it’s something.

I’ve been vegan for nearly ten years, I dread any time the topic comes up with people who aren’t also vegan.

It usually becomes a pointless debate where I either have to heavily self-censor, or end up hurting the feelings of people who eat animal products. It’s always the same conversations I’ve already had hundreds of times, no one’s gonna change my mind and I probably won’t change theirs either.

Why people would use ChatGPT to ignore reality is beyond me, that’s why God invented drugs!

It’s important to make sure reality is compatible with your hardware.

Canadians are definitely racist as fuck towards Indians, just listen to anyone in line at a Tim Horton’s staffed mostly with TFWs or read the comments on your local “$CITY’s worst drivers” Facebook page.

Cops, even ignoring the fact that ACAB, are flawed in that they can’t enforce traffic laws everywhere all the time.

Infrastructure can make a road safe 24/7. And doesn’t discriminate nor shoot minorities.

Fucking smartphones and their malfunctioning alarms

I got got by this too many times, so I bought a digital alarm clock at the thrift store, a cheap old thing from the '80s. It reliably blares FM radio at me every morning and I haven’t missed an alarm since.

It was Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, here’s the video on the BBC’s website.

I’m tired and read Nathan Fielder, that would certainly be something.

We all know what people mean by it; they mean “black” but are scared to say it for whatever reason.

I think criticism of the term “African-American” is valid. Most black people in America today have never been to Africa.

No, my mom taught me we should respect the elderly.

I have a pretty addictive personality and I thank the stars that I’ve never enjoyed coke on the handful of occasions I’ve tried it. It just made me feel overly talkative to the point of being annoying.

“Women’s sport enjoyers” lol

As if the vast majority of people complaining about trans women in sports aren’t the same people who shit over women’s leagues for being “inferior”

You’re just describing shrooms, lol

You’re mistakenly assuming the attributes are binary, stuff like screen resolution, regions, languages all have many possible values to help narrow down and identify you. It really doesn’t take that many for you to be identifiable.
