Veloxization

I got past it because it happened to throw a place from my country. And there was also a flagpole with a flag on it to really drive it home. XD

The scene with the guy without eyes and a tongue is imprinted into my mind because I happened to look at the TV just as that happened. I don’t even remember how old I was, but definitely way under 10.

Spark of Blue in my ass

Good to know! Thanks for the warning. c: My default course of action will likely be just disabling the old alias and making a new one.

Lol! I need to start doing something like this when one of those email addresses eventually ends up in a breach. :D

Thanks for confirming! I haven’t used the actual YT app in such a long time, so I haven’t been able to confirm whether my DNS solution works.

NewPipe app is a good one, or Tubular if you want sponsor block too (though you can’t comment or like videos etc. on either). But if you want to use the actual YT app, the solutions in the other comments are good. I assume that setting up a Pihole or some other ad-blocking DNS could also work. I assumed wrong. See reply.

Owncast is rather interesting to me. Self-hosted streaming platform that can use the ActivityPub to publish streaming notifications, if desired.

The puppy was being trained for hunting. Meaning she killed her for doing exactly what she was being trained to do. Of course she wouldn’t know there are some animals she shouldn’t chase.

Oh, and this is not a one-off thing from Noem either. She also mentions shooting and killing a male goat for “chasing her kids”.

In any case, I worry when someone’s solution to completely fixable issues with other living beings is to just kill them.

Do note that this whole thing is based on the hypothetical of plants being capable of experiencing pain. In reality, they do not possess a nervous system to enable that.

Of course I’d choose to kill an animal if the alternative was getting injured or killed (or starving in some extreme survival situation), but in day-to-day life, I do not see the need to do that.

We, as omnivores, have a choice. The carnivores do not. I’d rather not cause more suffering than I have to (since I have that choice) even if there was the potential that it could possibly decrease overall suffering.

I will not go into other problems with fish specifically since it’s not on-topic.

I’d say eating plants would still be the lesser of two evils in that case. Animals we kill for food also eat plants, so from a pure quantity of suffering, it’s better to not have the middleman there.

WHAT?

Now that I think about it, I’ve never seen anyone quote specific parts of challenged and banned books. They just say the content is this and that and leave it there.

Tried even searching for specific quotes just now but can’t find anything. So I guess it either has never happened, or happens so rarely that instances of it are difficult to find.

It’s a bulum out of the bum.

Trans athletes have definitely won some competitions. The news were sometimes difficult to miss.

But that’s really the thing. Sometimes it feels like there’s no problem before a trans athlete wins. Like how many competitions have transgender athletes taken part in throughout modern history? Thousands? And how many have they won? A handful?

I mean, almost nobody talked about this before the inevitable happened: A trans person happened to win a competition and it gained media attention. And when we consider that the Olympics has allowed transgender athletes to compete within their gender since 2003…

I don’t use any Meta products and I’ve deleted any accounts I had on them. This includes the ones mentioned, Oculus (I have the CV1 headset but wouldn’t be able to use it that easily anyway due to switching to Linux) and WhatsApp.

To think humans cause such pain to other sentient beings due to hubris…

So am I understanding you correctly? When I develop open-source software and put it on GitHub, the license, which GitHub offers you to set, is actually irrelevant because since the code is on a public website, it’s somehow automatically public domain?
