As a caffeine source, I would argue the bigger problem is a missed opportunity to get the phytonutrients in coffee or tea. For most people, their daily coffee might very well be the only source of polyphenols they get that day.

To be honest meat, even the smell of it, has become very unpleasant to me these days. It all smells putrefied to me.

Heh, sorry about the soapboxing. I kind of lost the plot there. Yea, so it’s like others have said, that’s the joke. It’s making fun of the people who bitch about plant-based foods trying to mimic animal-based ones.

Sure we can judge things by the sum of their parts. Like how no matter how well prepared any meal is, no matter how divine it’s mouthfeel, I am unable to take pleasure in the consumption of a food that I know is the result of immense animal suffering. That is what animal products are made of too. They are also made of human suffering from the workers who are all but forced into working in slaughterhouses, an occupation well known for causing ptsd in its workers. I also derive no pleasure in knowing that animal overconsumption is one of the primary drivers of heart disease - the number one killer in most western countries, something which is completely preventable in 99% of people.

Animal products are also made of wanton environmental destruction, as well as being a massive zoonotic disease vector.

So why stop there? Please take your analysis even further.

As a pharmacy worker who is under a lot of pressure to push vaccines hard (and happy to oblige), I’m always so tempted to hand out a printout of this study showing that republicans died more from covid than democratics after the covid vaccines started coming out.

I’m sure y’all must feel a lot of self-satisfaction behind that smug smile every time you get the chance to reject the offers, but seriously… you’re just hurting yourselves. It’s like dealing with children.

I have one old laptop with Windows 10 sitting around, and only because it’s the only way to update the Xbox Series controller I have that randomly bootloops and thus is essentially useless anyway.

So this begs the question: how much of Windows can I delete and replace with foss stuff, while still having it technically be a Windows OS?

Soon:

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