Not ideologically pure.
I’m not telling you to shut up. But I am telling you that you’re probably not convincing as many people as you’d wish by telling them that their culture and way of life is “gross”.
Also, some of the best plant based food is totally gross. Fermentation is life.
If everyone made an effort we’d live in a completely different world almost over night. At least as someone who cares about sustainability side of it, that’s what matters. But I appreciate that veganism consists of a bunch of different forms of arguments and motivations.
If you consider this to be the main reason not to eat cheese, you would particularly benefit from keeping it to yourself.
Thanks for not fucking up the planet any faster than you have to, and for being a better person than I am.
I’ve almost given up meat. I don’t see myself ever giving up cheese. But I appreciate you guys and what you’re (not) doing.
Seems to me most people in that thread seems relatively open minded? The people dismissing Lemmy completely appears to be downvoted, and people seem to have a nuanced understanding that it’s a better platform in theory but sadly less active.
I’m sure they’re right. I’m a slow person who thinks there’s plenty of activity over here, but if you’re used to the adrenaline of Reddit it must feel a little small town-y.
Until now !superbowl@lemmy.world has been my source of uplifting content of last resort. Sadly I have woken up to the realization that owl pictures might not be enough going forwards. Appreciate the thread.
I dislike Apple more than most people, and they are indeed terrible with standards in general, but with web standards they’re doing the world a bit of a favour by pushing WebKit (based on KHTML) on all its users. WebKit is open source and used in for example GNOME Web.
Had it not been for Apple nobody would give a shit about creating websites that work outside of Chrome.
A Threads account seems somewhat more likely as there’s already @potus@threads.net and @barackobama@threads.net, but it would be fantastic if the Harris campaign would set up a proper ActivityPub channel.
Stuff like this will probably become more likely once Threads start federating both ways, so that the user base of Threads is available for organizations promoting themselves on Mastodon. But I feel like $30 000 should at least make them consider copy/pasting content to Mastodon.
Direct link. Currently at 27k.
The idea is that if one is donating to the Harris campaign anyway, doing it under a shared Mastodon banner might push the Harris campaign towards posting on open platforms. So it serves a double purpose of fighting Trump and Musk at the same time.
There are of course women on both sides, but generally speaking the prospect of being forced to carry a child they do not want is off-putting for most women.
Vote. Try to get others to do the same.
Maybe Democrats don’t stand a chance this round, but put up a fight. And if Trump loses you might get a chance to vote again in four years - a higher turnout to Democrats in this round might make it seem less hopeless at the next crossroads. :)
Ah, I wasn’t aware! If it’s there I guess people will randomly comment on it for sure.
I wonder if it displays it for users of other platforms (like Mastodon) as well. Could cause some fun interactions.
If I remember correctly Reddit did something with a cake next to the user name or something. Kind of designed to derail the conversation. I’m not sure I want Lemmy interfaces to follow suit.
I agree with this!
I don’t think it should be too much of a point of conversation in it’s own right - there are too many users for that to make any sense - but it’s a wonderful occasion to reflect on the platform, how we shape it, how it shapes us, and how it has developed since we got here.
And I love reading people’s experiences with that.
The term fediversary is somewhat established already! And one of the OGs recently celebrated his 16th - the Fediverse is old enough to drink in some countries!
Personally I’ve been on Mastodon since March 2020 - still a toddler. My first post to Lemmy was in December 2022 from that account, but I’m yet to use Lemmy itself. :)
Nice natural satellite. Here it is spinning around. Cross your eyes to see it in glorious 3D.
Genuine compliments on personality are always cool. Like, “you’re good at making people feel comfortable around you” or whatever. People often wonder what role they play in social situations, being told they’re doing good is nice. At least I appreciate it whenever it happens.
This might not be on account of your mother’s cooking, Jamie Oliver, or your evolving taste buds. Rather, Dutch scientists managed to breed tasty brussels sprouts back in the 90s, and the tasty version has since become the standard.
That’s why everybody hated brussels sprouts in the 80s, and everybody loves them today. They’re just not the same vegetable.
Also keep in mind that what is perfect for one person is not perfect for another, and we change from day to day. Some days we have energy to do a bunch of stuff, other days we just want to take it easy.
I think the most important part of successful travelling with a partner is to be considerate of each others: Pay attention to what the other person wants, perhaps especially if they need a little break. This does not align well with planning everything in detail. You have to be able to improvise, and to take into account each others needs throughout the travels. :)
I mean, I totally believe people who would find the act of milking a cow to be disgusting have no business drinking milk from the supermarket. We need to reflect on where food comes from, and if that changes people’s habits that’s probably a good thing.
In part, I think legislation should play a role here. When buying milk you should be able to know what kind of conditions the cows lived under and what they were fed. I don’t think there’s anything disgusting about cow milk as such. Induatrial farming, on the other hand…
