Xcode is an IDE, this version being released in March.

The Ides of March is the day Julius Caesar was assassinated.

I think that’s all there is to the joke, unless I’m also missing something.

If you go about it with curiosity, especially if you focus on recipes instead of ethics, you’re probably good. Sharing food is such a big social thing that you get a bit ostracized from when you’re vegan, so it truly is nice to share recipes with earnest people like you seem to be.

Now if only I can figure out vegan meals that would do well in my smoker!

I’ve never used a smoker so I’m not quite familiar with the process, but my first instinct would be trying something with seitan. I did find some recipes with just a quick search.

If you do smoke some seitan, feel free to invite me, I’ll bring drinks! :P

I’ve never made anyone become vegan, but a lot of my friends have definitely opened up to incorporating more vegetarian or vegan meals into their diets, which I do count as a small win.

A friend who used to be very much the meat & potatoes type has recently been texting me excitedly about the new vegan recipes he’s been trying out. He still regularly eats meat, but hey, it’s something.

I’ve been vegan for nearly ten years, I dread any time the topic comes up with people who aren’t also vegan.

It usually becomes a pointless debate where I either have to heavily self-censor, or end up hurting the feelings of people who eat animal products. It’s always the same conversations I’ve already had hundreds of times, no one’s gonna change my mind and I probably won’t change theirs either.

It’s important to make sure reality is compatible with your hardware.

Fucking smartphones and their malfunctioning alarms

I got got by this too many times, so I bought a digital alarm clock at the thrift store, a cheap old thing from the '80s. It reliably blares FM radio at me every morning and I haven’t missed an alarm since.

We all know what people mean by it; they mean “black” but are scared to say it for whatever reason.

I think criticism of the term “African-American” is valid. Most black people in America today have never been to Africa.

No, my mom taught me we should respect the elderly.

I have a pretty addictive personality and I thank the stars that I’ve never enjoyed coke on the handful of occasions I’ve tried it. It just made me feel overly talkative to the point of being annoying.

“Women’s sport enjoyers” lol

As if the vast majority of people complaining about trans women in sports aren’t the same people who shit over women’s leagues for being “inferior”

I was around 20 when I first started browsing trans subreddits “as an ally”, and I also made a few jokes to some friends about how “I’m probably non-binary lol”.

I was 23 when I finally actually came to terms with my gender and sexual orientation. Those three years were rough :P

I’m quite partial to Lil Jon’s All I Really Want For Christmas, featuring the Kool-Aid Man.

Yes, the Kool-Aid Man.

I’d assume it’s the same as any other watermark; to mark content as being made/owned by the entity associated with the logo.

Even if we discovered that plants feel pain to the same extent as animals, a vegan diet would still be the moral option seeing as an omnivorous diet requires more plants (via animal feed) than a vegan one.

Efficiency of energy transfer is lost very quickly at higher trophic levels.

Explain how AI haters or doubters cross over with Veganism at all as a comparison?

They’re both taking a moral stance regarding their consumption despite large swathes of society considering these choices to be morally neutral or even good. I’ve been vegan for almost a decade and dislike AI, and while I don’t think being anti-AI is quite as ostracizing as being vegan, the comparison definitely seems reasonable to me. The behaviour of rabid meat eaters and fervent AI supporters are also quite similar.

It’s admittedly been a while since I’ve played Skyrim (probably over a decade), but can’t you just make a save right after the character creation? Or does it not let you save during the escape sequence at the beginning?

two guys and their enby buddy

Thank you, I will exclusively refer to the Holy Spirit as “enby buddy” now.

Oh and this is how I imagine they look like:

If this is your reaction to someone describing cute things they’ve done with their partner, I honestly feel kinda sorry for you.

No one pronounces “JPEG” with a ph sound, though.

Fun fact! The word milk has been used for plant-based liquids and saps since at least the 14th century.

Die away upon your hill, but historical and popular usage disagree with you :P
