  • If I understand it correctly, it’s just that any infringement onto the liberties of other sentient beings is not tolerable to people who take it to that degree. To harvest wool, you do have to contain the sheep and potentially put them through experiences they would not choose for themselves. I’m not a vegan so it wouldn’t really be right for me to mangle their philosophy any more than I already have, but I believe that’s the gist.






  • These other responses are annoying. This looks really cool, and I hope that it works well for you and your friends! We definitely need good discord alternatives ASAP, and more options are better imo.

    One cool feature would be some sort of official support for interop/bridging to other services. That might help to boost adoption and would make the “why not just contribute to Y” people be quiet.




  • According to Wikipedia, it’s known in modern times as mycobacterial cervical lymphadenitis.

    The disease mycobacterial cervical lymphadenitis, also known historically as scrofula and the king’s evil, involves a lymphadenitis of the cervical (neck) lymph nodes associated with tuberculosis as well as nontuberculous (atypical) mycobacteria such as Mycobacterium marinum.

    As for what lymphadenitis is?

    Lymphadenopathy or adenopathy is a disease of the lymph nodes, in which they are abnormal in size or consistency. Lymphadenopathy of an inflammatory type (the most common type) is lymphadenitis.

    The Wikipedia article for king’s disease has a picture if you’re curious, although it’s a bit gross.







  • Hopefully it helps! Killing them is not an option for me or my partner, so we did a fair bit of research. We found a lovely little wooded stream to drop the mice off at, and we made sure to sprinkle some good mouse food around the area before we let them out (since their survival rate will be quite low without some kind of help).






  • As someone else linked, it’s called that because the Colt Single Action Army revolver was nicknamed as such. Colt’s slogan was some variation of this:

    God created men equal, Col. Colt made them equal…

    If equality is peace, then anything to enforce that would be a “peace maker.” I uh, don’t necessarily agree with that sentiment, but it was popular in the American West for a long ass time.
