what the heck... you're really super into amazon, huh?

i thought you were serious. and then i thought you weren't. honestly, now i'm not sure, but i'm impressed either way.

sorry, but the notion that fear of men pushes them to be predators is absolute bullshit. that's an argument that's an insult to anyone who has been victimized by a man and an insult to men as well.

[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don't come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don't really get upset by it...

i mean, a great many people don't appreciate being told they are murderers. it provokes defensiveness rather than an openness to pro-vegan arguments.

just because somebody typed this stuff and took a photo doesn't mean that's what they submitted.

What's a band that has one album that is just about perfect in your opinion, but rest of their discography misses the mark with you?

One of mine is Commit This to Memory by Motion City Soundtrack. I basically took the title verbatim and know the album word for word. And while I would love if it did, the rest of MCS's stuff just doesn't hit the same way....

challenge. and yeah, i could have gone for something more recent, but i figured if you like endtroducing and haven't heard this, you will probably appreciate it.

YSK : Dark patterns among large companies are becoming more mainstream ( youtu.be )

While it is no secret that exploitative practices are interlaced with capitalistic tendencies, the practices are becoming intolerable. Signing up to pay usually takes only two clicks that are prominently visible whereas cancelation options are hidden away in deep settings requiring multiple clicks. Pricing often feel arbitrary...

the bad news is that, despite growing up with pc's and having had some level of troubleshooting skill as a result, i have forgotten most of it in the last 10 years as computing/tech has become pushy and handholdy. i suspect this is not uncommon.

edit - but i still miss xp. 😔
