Beeman’s mint, Clove, and Teaberry for me.

*sort of, not really.

They may ban books from being stocked in school or public libraries, that’s it, but they can do fuck all about the books being sold or disseminated freely by anyone else, anywhere else.

I think hitting on him, she knew what she was doing, it would at least be worth a “hey, so uh, did you mean to show me these? Yes? Well nice pics, wanna go grab a drink while I fix your phone?”

She could read!

Or it was the one that smelled like pet supplies and she smart.

In this context, OP wants a community that is both vegan and sufficiently accepting of non-vegans, which might be tough to find.

Because being a preachy holier than thou dickhead is like, “the point” for a lot of vegans. Oh they’ll tell you it’s not that, while they tell you how much better they are than you because they reject anyone with a different opinion than they have, while you’re a rapist and a murderer because you let others be and make their own choices without evangelizing like a christian.

I’m fine with normal vegans, like the OP. In fact, most vegans I meet IRL are like OP, I even have a vegan friend who doesn’t give me shit about it and we take her veganism into concern when we eat and will go to a place that has good vegan and meat options (or she’ll cook her own vegan dish to share if potluck), fun times all around. But the Culinary Jehovah’s Witnesses are just as annoying as the actual Jehovah’s Witnesses. “Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior Daiya?” But the vegans don’t even have the balls to go door to door, they only recruit for their cult online, so honestly I respect it even less as much as I’d hate both.

Mine’s cool.

Yours otoh will ban you for political disagreements (read: supporting the authoritarian states they don’t like OR not supporting the authoritarian states they do like) and censors the word “bitch,” which is why I left the second new instances popped up. As an anti-any-authoritarian who considers that a bitchin’ opinion it’s not the place for me.

I’m tryna get that Christmussy.

I’m with you, christmas songs are already on my shitlist from being force fed them on repeat while working (which I’m pretty sure is against the Geneva Convention), and that one has always been one of the worst.

I hate the cutesy little voice that sings it and it’s a weird song, is she going to fuck the mythical creature, or is she going to fuck her parents (the real “Santa”)? She clearly wants to fuck one of em I’m just not clear which.

And how damn old is she? You think Leo and his 25yos are bad, what about Nick over here being 1,730ish years older than her?!

I feel this so very much lol. Working in retail (or food) and your boss plays the radio? All year, always the same ~50 songs a day… except Nov 1 - Jan 1, when it becomes the same 20 Jesus themed songs on repeat 6x times a day, and not even different versions.

The only one that gets a pass is the Charlie Brown one, it helps that it’s instrumental.

Tbf the differences aren’t that far in either case.

Infantryman - Kills when paid, ordered by the gov

Hitman - Kills when paid, ordered by civilians

Whore (prostitute) - Fucks when paid, no camera

Actress (porn) - Fucks when paid, has camera

Honestly if I were the type of dude to go whorin’, I’d record it so it’s legal for both parties and then if I “decide not to release it” it is what it is, decent loophole (pun so very intended). Can’t bring myself to pay for it though, feels icky, half the fun is the woman actually liking/loving you (one you like/love ykwim), I may as well just crank the hog otherwise.

True, sometimes juries fail, personally I wouldn’t bet on it and would err on the side of caution but that’s your own choice to make I suppose.

(It also helps if you’re the “right” color shooting the “right” color in the “right” state/county… but… otherwise it helps to have your ducks in a row.)

carry permit if your state needs it, and learning the laws regarding use of force in your area. Also buy/carry OC spray if it’s legal (for instance it isn’t legal in NYC) in case he ends up being a threat, but not a deadly threat.

Those are all laws.

I’d believe it, some people on here advocate for killing people all the time, so long as they’re a “CEO, accused-nazi, liberal, landlord, government employee they don’t like, etc.”

Unfortunately not, it would be interpreted as retribution (at least by the courts). Immediacy means something like “guy with knife threatening to stab you right now,” BUT if you pull your gun to do so and he starts walking away that’s it, it’s over, if you shoot him at that point you’ll be argued to be the aggressor and will lose your case. As such, having a claim denied and then traveling to wherever this guy is and likely planning for months is called “premeditation,” not “self defense.”

You may disagree, but that’s the court’s opinion.

Yeah ya can’t do that lol, that’s murder.

Tbf, “self defense,” while technically being “violence,” is the only time violence is actually acceptable. She should buy a gun if she’s being stalked by anyone, but of course just buying one isn’t enough. Also needed is practice to learn how to shoot (preferably with an instructor if you can afford it, but you can learn most of that stuff from the right sources online actually like Jerry Miculek’s videos on it, if that’s your only option), carry permit if your state needs it, and learning the laws regarding use of force in your area. Also buy/carry OC spray if it’s legal (for instance it isn’t legal in NYC) in case he ends up being a threat, but not a deadly threat.

Practicing nonviolence is a worthy pursuit and I’m also a proponent of it, but to go so far as to forego self defense in the name of pacifism is just foolish in my personal opinion. The advice isn’t just “shoot him next time you see him,” (that’s called murder lol), it’s “just in case he tries to kill you, be prepared with an Uno reverse card.”

I assume they hire them to advertise men’s clothing mostly but I’m not sure how that relates to this.

If you must know, it’s because I listed “Linux” rather than listing every distro by name, and your comment “oh I’ll just download linux” as if you can’t download a linux distro which is foss and based on the foss linux kernel, seemed just as pedantic to me as the copypasta, and so my immediate reaction, which I’d argue was natural and hilarious, was “haha copypasta time.”

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

Well !foss@beehaw.org and !linux@programming.dev for more, but off the top of my head:

Linux, VLC, FFMPEG, HandBrake, KDE (everything KDE), qBittorrent, Momentum (Flipper0 firmware), CHIRP, Vim, and more!
