Ours will attempt to get his butt to eye level, and start wagging the tail to smack you in the face. It makes me crack up every time.

I love being imprisoned, force fed, tortured, and slaughtered at a quarter of my natural lifespan! Yay, so fun! :D

I’m always sad when tomatoes season ends. IMO tomatoes are the singular item with the biggest difference between grocery store and local heirloom ones. It’s like night and day.

It’s a valid and moderately common construction. This is called the generic (or indefinite) form of you. It’s primarily used as a colloquial or less formal substitute for one.

But yes, you do have to infer whom you is referencing from the context, so I could see why some might find it more confusing.

The “you” in the 3rd panel refers to the hypothetical shop owner referenced in the 2nd panel, not the dude she’s talking with.

Well, there’s this one:

Because it’s a clickbaity ad to their website that blames it on Lemmy’s technical limitations, when they could have put additional images it in the description field.

Ceçi n’est pas un café.

Shitting on Ayn Rand is so easy it’s almost not even funny. Almost.

One of my favourite dunks on her is physics YouTuber Angela Collier relating the time she read Atlas Shrugged thinking it was meant to be satire. It’s a great video essay overall too.

Veganism seeks to exclude animal exploitation and cruelty as far as is possible and practicable.

For a Western audience, where one would have access to a well stocked supermarket, that would generally mean a complete boycott, but it does ultimately come down to the individual to decide what is and isn’t practicable. If you have nessary medication that contains animal products, or is tested on animals, for example, I don’t think you’d find anyone expecting you to give that up.

As for insects, they’re within the kingdom of Animalia, so yes, veganism applies to them too. That said, you can’t go through life without ever stepping on an ant, and I don’t know anyone who’d place the exact same value on an fly and a cow. One has a vastly more sophisticated brain and nervous system. That said, I generally don’t try to play “utilitarian calculus”.

Ultimately it’s a “do your best” situation.

If you think cows are killed in anything but abject horror, I’d recommend you at the very least watch Dominion, which was linked above.

This kinda hits different when you replace cats with cows.

I know it’s a joke, but this really rubs me the wrong way, as it plays off the idea that homeless people are homeless because they’re deviants somehow, not just unlucky individuals who fell through the cracks.

Fact is that giving homeless people a sizeable cash injection and a place to live often has very good outcomes in them being able to turn their lives around.

Good work by the author on punching down.

Kids these days don’t know about rocky pokey. Sheeeeesh.

That’s wild! I think it’s too late for me, though. It’d be like trying to get into One Piece now. I’ll keep it in mind, if I’m feeling nostalgic.

Quick, back to the time machine! Next stop: megatokyo, or sluggy freelance.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

Few things piss me off more than software removing options because it’ll confuse users. Just hide them away in an advanced options submenu. Hell, even put up a warning that messing with em isn’t supported, or let me modify a config file, but leave them in there somehow.
