I love Linux, but I don’t think that Linux users should promote it like it’s a free Windows, because it isn’t. You should learn Linux because you want to learn Linux, not because you hate Windows.

Frankly, I didn’t go 100% Linux right away. I dual-booted for several years first.

They’re all back online now because of articles like this.

Victims of abuse? Possibly. Innocent? No.

Just because you’re the victim of abuse, that doesn’t give you the right to abuse others, and you aren’t “innocent” if you do so.

Consensus doesn’t require everyone in the world to agree it just requires the majority to agree

An overwhelming majority, yes. Do you a have a survey or study that demonstrates this?

clearly the majority do otherwise the comment that it’s confusing would not have been made.

This makes no sense. Anybody can make any comment. Just because I say a thing doesn’t mean that the majority agrees with me.

It isn’t a consensus, though. If it were, nobody would be debating it.

In that case, it’s sad that he doesn’t think the Russian people would revolt over sending hundreds of thousands of them to die in a pointless war.

Well, not with that attitude.

It seems reasonable to me that you could admire somebody without thinking that they’re a friend or family. That’s what being a fan is. Some of the more extreme fans are going to want to know intimate details about the object of their admiration. I don’t see how it’s different from any other obsessive hobbyist.

In a rare apology from the Russian president, Putin said during his end-of-year press conference that insufficient imports and demand are to blame for the hiked prices.

“I’m sorry about this problem. This is a setback in the government’s work,” Putin said on December 14. “I promise that the situation will be corrected in the near future.”

Holy shit. Russians are serious about their eggs!

Look, it isn’t hard to substitute eggs in recipes. You can use applesauce, banana, chia seeds, flax seeds, or tofu. (To be fair, though, I don’t know what those cost in Russia as compared to eggs.)

30s?

They set him on fire when he died, too.

Vaaaa-der roasting on an open fire…

My brain immediately started singing “Where are the plows? There ought to be plows”.

Except that “draw 25” isn’t a metaphor, it’s just using a different meaning of the word “draw”.

I don’t understand your comment, especially the last sentence. Who thinks that celebrities are their friends?

I should have tried to avoid her more effectively.

Don’t victim-blame yourself. It’s her fault for not doing the reasonable and considerate thing: staying home so that you don’t infect your coworkers.

A lot of people with mental health issues self-medicate with illegal drugs. This guy was probably suffering from depression, and the police pushed him too far. So ridiculous and tragic.

Yeah, don’t try to make anything better. It’s a waste of time unless you’re trying to overhaul the entire economic system.

What a smooth-brained take.

Couldn’t read the article, because it’s behind a paywall.

Unfortunately, the answer is “It depends”. Although plant-based foods are usually suitable for vegans, it isn’t a regulated term, so you can’t be sure. Also, I think the term “vegan” has negative connotations that “plant-based” doesn’t, so marketers prefer to use that term instead.

Same, but I’m also a vegan, and the organic and/or non-GMO product is often the only one without animal ingredients.
