well if women scientists are the devil then nuclear science WAS developed by a demon. checkmate atheists ^/s

omg bestie

angelic 2 the core is one of the only albums i’ve ever listened to that is so bad i enjoyed listening through the whole thing. i feel like most people understand that feeling with movies, but this one album is the only time i’ve felt it with music.

• Crime Pays But Botany Doesn’t - field botany with a side of misanthropy, mostly in the texas / southern us but he does occasionally visit places all over the world
• Natural World Facts - incredibly high quality documentaries on the deep ocean, every time nwf uploads is worth celebrating
• History of the Universe - goated space science documentaries

i think you need to look up how supply and demand works. i’ve exhausted my “arguing with people on the internet who clearly don’t want their minds changed” time for today, so have a good one.

yeah dude vegans make up a pretty small portion of the population, so of course the meat industry hasn’t been just erased like magic. societal changes like this happen at a glacial pace and the idea is that more people become vegan over time and thus demand for those products gradually falls. even if 10% of the population went vegan, demand for those products would fall by 10% and there would be that many less animals killed for it because it would not be profitable.

to claim that it is ineffective is like claiming that eating healthy makes no difference from eating like shit after doing it for a single day and not seeing amazing results.

being vegan is literally about not supporting the meat industry, so i genuinely do not understand what you’re trying to say. that one person alone being vegan won’t make a difference? that not supporting the meat industry is the same as supporting the meat industry, which is demonstrably false? i don’t know of a more easy and effective way for a single person to make a difference than to stop supporting it altogether, and broad change starts with individuals deciding to make that change.

please explain to me how what i wrote is different from what you wrote

so you’re saying that they would just keep killing more and more animals to produce more and more meat even if nobody wanted to buy it?

they are paid because people buy the products. if nobody bought the products, there would be no money in it. are you trying to say that people would be paid to kill animals even if nobody bought animal products?

how do you think meat gets to the grocery store? someone has to kill an animal, and the person buying the meat typically pays money for it.

in case anyone is reading this looking for a solution the cable was not the culprit

that’s worth checking - i don’t have a spare DP cable on hand to test, but you may be onto something.

previously, i tried unplugging and replugging the cable on the PC end, as well as trying other ports, to no avail.

just now, i tried replugging the end plugged into the monitor a few times and was able to reproduce the resolution issue a single time. this honestly just confuses me more though, because why would it happen only one time out of several cycles doing the exact same thing?

i’m gonna get another cable just to be sure but that wont be for a few days at least.

all they need to do is stop being so scary and we can be chillin

i really like how this is just about the games. no corporations, no awkward presenters on a stage, just a bunch of cool games i would not have known about otherwise.

thanks for posting this - got a few new games on my wishlist :)

stuff them into a sack maybe

corporation yet again proving that if you want to be free to use your own things that you paid for on your own computer you can never trust anything that requires an internet connection to not trample all over your rights

love it very cool really vibing with the current state of software and the internet

it really is crazy how different it feels to use a linux pc after being conditioned to think that windows is just how using a computer is. the way i relate it to my friends is that using windows feels like i’m constantly compromising with the computer, but using linux i own my computer and it works for me - not the other way around.

fun unsolicited vim fact: just :x works as save and quit

There’s not enough of us, but I still don’t care. I refuse to pay to watch ads.

i had this conversation with my dad recently about how shitty everything is now with ads etc, and his response boiled down to “i don’t care enough”. sucks to see people being complacent in being subject to greedy corporate whims. as much as i want people with that mindset to care, i have no idea how to effectively argue against “i don’t care”.
