lol like it never ceases to amaze me how differently we are all wired up inside from each other. His perspective feels depressing and counter intuitive to my own yet I don’t doubt that inside of his head for him it feels so clearly right an

There is a slowly growing awareness in the public that eating meat is unnecessary for good health, perhaps even a negative. The strain on the environment for meat farming and transportation is massive so I am all for having plant-based opti

I’m not a fan of Sundar but I’d be way more pleased as an investor with 200bn growth vs 65bn.

Oh I’m not claiming that about MJ. He had written songs, even some of his hits, it is just that you can’t just always look at song credits to see what’s what. MJ had written some of his songs, collaborated, and also had songs written for hi

When artists buy songs they are given a credit for legal purposes (and I suppose vanity, too)

Shakespeare is taught in high school, my dude. You are a little deluded if you believe Shakespeare to be little read. I’m quite aware that you can’t eat Hamlet.

If you were to ask 1000 English speakers what their favourite food was, the average would be some kind of fast food slop. Shakespeare is going to be sitting very pretty near or at the absolute tippity top of importance in literature for a v

Thank you for that. I got my full dose of pedantry in early today. Do yourself a solid and check the book out anyways.

This is a great book for sure.

2666 by Roberto Bolano Yeah, believe the hype. Definitely the most important novel of this century. The story revolves around the deaths of over 500 women and children in a small border town in Mexico. Absolutely devastating read, It feels

Audiobook listeners ;) get really defensive about it but think about it this way: when you teach a child how to read, what kind of image pops in your head? Are they listening to mp3s??

Have you looked at KDE Plasma? I personally don’t like it because it looks and acts too much like Windows but it’s probably what you’re looking for. I use Gnome myself because I like the hot corners, and I like it well enough but I’m curre

I agree with Instagram being better.. but we are either forgetting, or weren’t present for, the internet just before facebook. It used to be Geocities for sharing amateur art. Instagram exists because of photo sharing on facebook. My main p

I used to be a DJ for a few years and Facebook was useful for organizing and promoting my parties. I’m not interested in getting into a semantic debate if such a need is necessary or good for society, but it was useful for me and many peopl

Sure, but there is a desire or even need to have robust and interactive options in our communication devices for keeping in touch with all the people we know in a more inclusive and less active way than just directly messaging or calling a

Yeah I find myself agreeing with him when it comes down to studio meddling or missed opportunities but his commentary on anything related to feminism or gender related issues/casting is a mixed bag. Like his whole thing about “the mess

His zone is mainstream hollywood action movies, for every brilliant action movie that gets it you’ll have like 100 BS ones. I think what really annoys me about the critical drinker, and others like him on youtube, is that his essays focus o

He likes to do alt right click bait and I mainly ignore him these days.. like I would tag him as a leftie and I mainly agree with him in terms of how obnoxious and cynical corpo-hollywood is in its execution of inclusion and diversity (to b

Meat eaters are lacking in nutrients as well. B12 and Omega 3, just like many vegans apparently, as well as fibre. Veganism is a great way of life. I’m currently stronger than 99% of the general public. You guys can only say that it’s a pe

Most likely you have no idea what you’re doing swinging from one fad diet to another.

I’m already on a high protein diet. I just happen to be vegan as well. My breakfast smoothie alone was about 50 grams of protein. I had a generous peanut butter sandwich (about 20 grams protein with my fancy bread) about an hour later. The

For me, the carnivore diet is obnoxious at best. It’s ethically in the red by a lot let alone being unnecessary to be a manly man or whatever the hell it is these guys think they’re achieving on a red meat only diet. WHO advises less meat i

Counter point: I have 17 inch biceps with a 145 kg bench press. About 16% fat BUT currently not trying to lose weight. Vegan, too. I just want to stress that being carnivore is unnecessary to strength and fitness (let alone just living wel

For anyone curious about Ulysses: It’s great. Read Dubliners and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man before Ulysses. If you gave up on it before: try again. I used to think it was BS for years but I tried again and ended up loving it. I

oh for sure these vegan documentaries are going to cherry pick footage (because the goal is to shock and expose) but it’s not as though they were invited to film in multiple locations around the world and chose the most messed up place of t

I’d suggest looking at some plant based diet athletes like Kylie Irving and see what he’s doing. I’m not going to lie or pretend that egg whites have a 1:1 equivalent in vegan nutrition but I would suggest taking a cold hard look at your pe

The future is vegan. While most people are still refusing it I can see the cultural attitudes changing. Your coworker is a dink for sure but most other people are just going with the flow or are misinformed. For every smirking edgelord ther
