By the time Biden dropped out, yes, she was really the only choice, logistically. I think at that point, 3 months ago, there was basically nothing the dems could have done to have won this. They could have made it closer, but any real shot at a candidate people liked, would have needed to have gotten spooled up a year ago, at minimum, two years ago ideally.

The DNC shares so much blame for overall strategy of the last decade+, but the decision for Biden to insist on aiming for a 2nd term the whole time, despite pressure, and only cave when the saw just how grim those final projections really were, is mostly his, personally.

In addition to what was already said, you probably will go to the restroom more often, as Vegan food tends to be less calorie dense and more fiber rich, so you tend to eat more, in terms of 'actual volume of food' (even if, often, its still lower caloric intake). A bigger concern isn't really 'more often' so much as 'irregularly', or 'painfully'.

A lot of languages also don't consider 'meat' to include 'fish meat', having entirely separate words for the two.

but yeah, I think in the US, its mostly catholicism brainworms

Can't relate; I do think its pretty boring. Its up there with like; clubbing or bar culture. I don't hate it, but I'm left wishing it was just like, a house party or something, somewhere less loud and crowded.

I don't shit on sportsfans or anything, I just can't understand why its enjoyable to watch. But like, there's lots of hobbies I don't 'get', so I'm not judging people for liking things I don't. And I do like playing sports, generally speaking.

I can't directly relate. I strongly prefer 'person with schizophrenia' to 'schizophrenic' (or similar, worse terms). I feel that, first and foremost, I am a person, as are all people, neurodivergent or not.

But also, I support you in being referred to as you want. I don't need to relate to your experience to just, refer to you as an autist (when I would need to refer to it at all), after you tell me you prefer that.

Its an offshoot of the subreddit 'credible defense' for ghouls to talk seriously about military stuff. So the 'non-credible defense' is just because they wanted a 'shitpost' sub to shitpost while being neoliberal ghouls.

Pretty sure Putin doesn't care who wins, both are terrible for the US. But you're right that this is absolutely the right thing for him to say to do some pot stirring

I think its about intent. While the DF devs could spend more effort on keeping players from being maniacs, it still doesn't seem like the want the players to be terrible to children. In fact, some of the worst stuff (danger rooms as child abuse training zones, and mermaid bone farms), were specifically targeted in patches to no longer be 'good' strategies.

As opposed to a lot of other games, who's inclusion of 'punching children' seems like they're doing it to be 'edgy and subversive'. And the 'child snatching' thing is just classic fairy tale, and also would be a real danger if you're living in the wilderness around predator animals.

He should have the wolves sicced on him then.

The normal, 'people eating' wolves.

C'mon, the correct response to finding a friends weird porn is to bully them, not to snitch

Unless is to of course.

they built a railroad out to key west, and then just let the tracks rot. You can still see much of the rails and supports still out there.

I grew up helping my family 'process' cow and deer (and occasionally other game animals). It doesn't especially gross me out, and I'd do it again if my choice was to butcher animal corpses or have me and my family die.

Luckily, I developed a functioning moral and ethical framework, and don't need to eat animals or animal byproducts to live... so I don't. I think its wrong, even if it doesn't literally turn my stomach to think about doing.

And, I'm not the furthest off from being forced to eat animal products or die; I have a lot of food allergies, and my body seems like it likes getting more over time. Biggest struggle for me is being deathly allergic to all nuts and several seeds, but I'm okay with beans and wheat. Hope my body doesn't take me 🫘 from me. But I really can't eat from any restaurant, due to cross contamination.
