With the state of Javascript being what it is, you probably can chain syllables randomly and have a fair chance of the resulting word being the name of a temporarily-existing framework

but instead of all of reality melting digitally disintegrating dripping all around you it’s much more like the classic description of a near death experience/OBE.

That description doesn’t match my DMT experiences at all; at threshold doses I’m always somewhere else completely, the world doesn’t disintegrate around me, I go somewhere else entirely with no relation to my previous environment and I go there in seconds at most, it’s almost instantaneous. And what’s on the other side is indeed sometimes close to the classic description of NDEs.

The internet of shit has no limits

Literally. Add “smart” or “connected” to any manufactured object you can think of, someone tried to pitch it. I just tried it with “smart toilet paper” and then “connected mug”. Both exist.

it would be easy to get back to meat eating

If it would “be easy” for you to get back to consuming animal products, it’s hard to imagine you’re vegan at all.

No, their metaphor was not ignorant at all.

Animal products have good taste for most people. The issue with them is not their taste, or the actual act of consumption of them, it’s the fact that their production necessarily involves the torture and killing of sapient beings.

If you can have “meat” without such effects (so, those fake vegan “meats”), then there is nothing wrong with it at all (I still prefer most of the time my rice, beans, tofu and TSP if only due to the cost but again, nothing wrong with it, quite the contrary).

9% of the population apparently, the highest in the world tied with Mexico.

Nooch does not contain B12. It is sometimes added to it, perhaps even often in the US ? but in the EU for example I’ve never ever seen B12-fortified nooch.

I meant sapient and yes, SF writers are to blame

who are not afraid to make actual change in the world they want to see, whatever it takes

And do it at sometimes great risk to themselves, regularly

utterly ineffective at actually meaningfully changing the mass cruelty of the meat industry.

There should be no “meat industry” at all you despicable fucking ghoul

“fundamentally not so bad” ? you morally bankrupt imbecile, go watch Dominion

Stop murdering and eating sentient beings

PETA “shelters” have a higher kill (euthanasia) rate than any other organization.

Close to a million cows are murdered daily (not to mention pigs, ducks, etc.) - almost universally after a life of torture or soon after birth - but yeah, sure, shelters kill more, makes total sense

Since you obviously feel guilty (consciously or not) but do not seem to have the basic morality to stop profiting from the mass torture and killing of sentient beings for your personal pleasure, at least have the decency to keep quiet about it instead of trying to jump through logical hoops justifying yourself

The stuff you posted includes what is basically NATO propaganda, which is why it got so much reactions (and admittedly not all of them constructive - again, no downvotes here). Don’t take my word for it, take the CIA’s word for it for example (or any number of a hundred - far better argued and sourced than mine - answers in the very thread you linked). The “Tiananmen Square massacre” as usually described in Western sources is not something that actually occurred.

Eh, maybe you’re right, but I was getting dogpiled

We don’t have downvotes on our instance. When we disagree or think a comment adds nothing, we tend to respond.

That’s why you got so many answers, which you describe as “dogpiling”. If you want to defend your position, responding to only one of those is perfectly fine.

Also for fuck’s sake:

I don’t think I even encountered this much toxicity on reddit, this is ridiculous

Nobody was toxic with you in this thread, nothing beyond being a bit harsh-toned. Reddit is far much worse. Again, probably you felt like that because of the sheer amount of answers you got.

The other day, I hate a post that said something about China/Tiananmen Square, and had so many comments complaining

Got a link ? because I suspect the comments in answer to you were not just “complaining” but were also argued and provided information.

Downloading mp3s and tagging them, the way grandpa intended

If you answer at least try to address the point

Spotify is a DRM-infested despicable hellhole

And one that platforms fash or fash-adjacent imbeciles

You don’t need to be rich to go to your local theater. Theater can be great

As our home screens got bigger and the price got higher and the experience worse I stopped going to the movies entirely; but theater I do still go a few times a year

On that topic, it’s been 20 days and you still haven’t managed to produce an answer; what are the “bizzare arguments” from hexbears, and how have they been “debunked so many times” ?

He was incredibly entertaining in the Spartacus TV show

Same. Up to and including putting himself prominently between the keyboard and the screen if I ignore him, and lying down on the keyboard
