As long as you remember that without tahini, garlic, olive oil, salt and some lemon juice all you’re getting is pureed chickpeas.

Just ignore that crap and put some real shit into your headphones. Like The Cramps - Songs The Lord Taught Us.

Play it loaded.

reads scroll of genocide for mosquitos

it was cursed

The downvotes just prove your point.

No shame in that. You could start accustoming your ears by searching YT for “bass and drums isolated” and listen to those versions and then the originals and see if you separate the bass better.

This is wholesome in a strange way.

Scientological masturbation

They’re about 10 years too early. The random aching starts at 40 something.

Ancient?! It clearly says “2 hours ago” ffs…

I know I couldn’t.

If you have to ask, maybe not. But if you’re mostly “keyboard driven”, code and edit files a lot, it’s (vim or neovim) very much worth trying out.

Learn a memory technique. Start with Major system and go on from there. If you keep going, on the next long flight you’ll be happily creating new memory palaces or revisiting the old ones. All in your mind, no electronic devices needed.

They’re not only fun but useful as well.

Good stuff. Reminds me of the best PBF but with much less sinister undertones.

Most (non-techy) people haven’t heard from it and don’t bother searching for alternatives since WA is ubiquitous.

As a Signal user and an Esperantist I agree. They both require a somewhat curious mind for you to bump into them in the first place. Unless you have that friend/relative who always recommends weird stuff for you (to ignore).

Personally, I might shift the same picture through Darktable, GIMP, Inkscape, and even Scribus, depending on what I was trying to do with it. (Text on a path -> probably Inkscape, then export as PNG and import into GIMP as a layer.)

Gotta love this adaptation of the “do one thing and do it well” principle.

No (although you can easily create such a key mapping if so inclined). To type b character one must first enter the so called Insert mode. Depending on where exactly you wish to type the character, you can enter the Insert mode by typing for example i, a, I, A, o or O.

In a sane editor just press b.

I certainly think factory farming is unethical (I wish to put a stop to it, even) and that killing animals is bad.

Hey, we’re exactly the same in this respect! The only difference being other talking the talk instead of walking the walk.

The fact that something had to die in order for me to get my daily sustenance …

Ah, the good ole “circle of death” a.k.a appeal to nature fallacy.

Factory farming is horrible for the environment … but the way we produce protein plants is bad for the environment as well, especially if farmed at the level needed to sustain a civilization.

We have to feed the animal mass, hence the double impact on environment. Your argument is actually in favor of veganism, not against it.

Logically, if we wanna live as ethically as possible, we should just kill ourselves so that we don’t have to eat anything

To live and be dead at the same time? That sure sounds logical. Veganism is about reducing harm done to animals as much as is practically possible.

I’m simply willing to compromise at a closer point than you are in how evil I’m willing to be. Eliminating evil from the world is impossible, so you must be able to be content with a harsh and cruel world or you will not be very mentally healthy.

Some people choose even closer point than you in how evil they’re willing to be. Without going into gory examples, I guess you’d just be content with it? I mean even if it’s not illegal doesn’t mean it’s right, right?

Humans were also built to eat meat … The reason we have sharp teeth and front-facing eyes …

Yes, exactly like lions.

“When humans eat flesh, we don’t actually tear it with our cuspids. Instead, we soften meat with cooking and then pre-tear it with utensils before grinding it down with our flattened molars, which are particularly well-suited for chewing vegetation.” Source

Human beings are still apart of nature even as far as we’ve come today, and throughout history, attempts to completely shut out our nature have usually come back to bite us in the ass.

You buying your meat at the store, nicely vacuumed has nothing to do with nature. Despite any lion fantasies.

There’s also the fact that there are so many things I’d rate higher on the totem pole of evil (I can list some of them if you want) in modern society, and things I simply need to deal with with much more urgency, that I and many others ain’t got time to worry about farm animals.

This is an example of the laziness I was talking about in the earlier comment.

From Nazis’ perspective, they’re simply making the world a better place by getting rid of their, you guessed it, oppressors.

Now this is not lazy. It’s 4D chess or something. Anyway I’ve lost the plot already.

Making fun of Jews would be punching up if you go by their logic.

You could try that at a comedy club. (A place not run by Nazis ofc.)

Meanwhile, making fun of pedophiles also implicates those who are simply unfortunate enough to be stuck with the illness and don’t actually cause any harm.

Yes, that’s unfortunate. Hope they get the treatment they deserve.

I wouldn’t put factory farming on the same level as the Holocaust. Despite using similar technologies and methods, factory farming has an actual goal, that being to ensure that people get fed and that civilization doesn’t, y’know, collapse due to famine.

Factory farming has a goal alright. It’s to destroy the global ecosystem and bring profit to multi national corporations while doing it. In fact, if most of the population went plant based, the soil would be used to grow stuff that could be utilized straight by humans, thus removing the animal from the equation. Also, there would be enough of food to easily feed the whole world population.
