Parachutes also haven’t been scientifically proven to work. They’ve never been double blind tested.

I learned to program in gw basic when I was 12. Also spent hours typing in listings from magazines. Fun times.

Moved on to turbo pascal after a few years and got into assembly from there. Didn’t get to c++ until college.

I want a “dumb” phone that can run signal. Just text, calls and signal. No camera, no other apps. It’s time we split the data honeypot back up in to smaller pieces.

The constitution applies to the government, not the American (or other) people. “Government shall pass no law…”

[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...

riplin ,

Except you don’t see atheists throwing a tantrum. So not like atheism at all.

riplin ,

Give me one example.

riplin ,

Can you name any atheist protests?

riplin ,

That’s your example? A sub being the default on Reddit? That’s equal to protests in the streets by vegans to you?

riplin ,

Atheists highlighting religious atrocities is very annoying, yes. Imagine just doing you thing, raping kids and murdering people for not believing in your religion and someone posting on Reddit about it. So annoying!

riplin ,

I wouldn’t call them highlighting the hypocrisy of Christians the same as protesting out in the streets. The satanic temple is reactionary.

riplin ,

So not really the same then.

riplin ,

lol. Me arguing on lemmy is the same as vegans protesting in the streets? Go touch some grass.
