That Mark Zuckerberg holds several records for most fists shoved inside a human body at once

It’s pretty obvious that .ml runs a custom version of the code because they are engaged in all parts of sketchy shit

Yeah this shit is wild I don’t remember ever wanting to join a millennial community and I’ve never really heard anyone talk about it.

Yes the American government tried to ban a book I can get for $6 on Amazon Prime. Why do people believe these things?

Bend over and I’ll show you

Oh God I would never admit this to anyone IRL

Smoke weed erry day

A skightly different view, but when I started a lot of companies did give back. I have worked with, hired, managed and led at least a half dozen teams with the explicit mission to make an already existing open source project do what we want by contributing functionality upstream, or by forking the project. I actually wrote a “open source engineering management” curriculum back when I was still teaching.

Unfortunately these efforts often sttuggle in a similar way - some developer who is not affiliated with us starts creating friction, and blowing up internal schedules, sometimes seemingly on purpose. Management starts to ask why so many of our features are dependent on SkankTopia6969 approving PRs and awkward conversations ensue. And then the project slowly becomes the process of educating an increasingly detached internal hierarchy on the realities of open source development, and people inevitability start asking why this is even in-house tooling in the first place.

Despite that, I’ve fielded a bunch of products like this, though always at fairly small scale (like $10M/yr revenue). The only time I’ve really done it big league the project got canned during a technical reorg.

Like I said, I am just sharing a lens which attempts to analyze why these communities are like this. I am personally about 2/3 vegan, but find most vegan communities insufferable and felt like I had relevant perspective to share.

The idea of not eating meat isn’t “wrong,” and i never said sny such thing. Again, as a moral skeptic, that’s like saying “not eating meat is blue.” It’s a meaninglass statement.

You can’t think of any valid reason to kill?

Pretty sure my other comment was a well thought out discussion of moral absolutism versus harm reduction. My ethics are relativist, even leaning towards moral skepticism. If you are not acquainted with these concepts then that’s fine but it’s a real position that many hold which creates a valid lens for why veganism (or really, all universalist ethics) tends to attract militants. Not “just arguing” which is you being dismissive. And kind of rude.

This is the thing. You will find that close to 100% of the people defending militant veganism here are militant about other things as well. Some of these names are pretty familiar.

This attitude is the entire problem. You know exactly what OP means, but you pretend like the reputation the vegan community has nothing to do with the community itself.

Is vegan cat food allowed?

The entire “problem” with veganism is that almost anything which starts with such an inflexible moral imperative ends up becoming militant, specifically because that rigidity quickly becomes at odds with more practical and functional versions of the idea.

Like so many similar ethics, veganism doesn’t really concern itself with creating a practical or actionable roadmap for how food supply chains can be iteratively modified towards the goal of reducing animal suffering. Militant moralists, in fact, tend to avoid such things specifically because they demand a framework of accountable progress. Demanding radical and unrealistic measures be taken, and then condemning those who express skepticism or hostility of this idea is much easier. Like a religion.

I have been banned twice from .ml just for mentioning that Russia shot down a civilian airplane in Ukraine (the first time)

My guess is this is the makeup period, and OP managed to get an extension which means some poor TA is staying behind to proctor their lazy ass.

In 20 years of academia, I have never once heard of a scheduled exam on Dec 24.

I have gotten banned from .ml twice for merely stating that Russia shot down a civilian airliner in Ukraine.
