I don’t think I’ve ever met a vegan who talked about it in contexts outside of organizing food for multiple people or in response to others asking about it.

I think it’s mostly that non-vegetarians (of whom I am one) know deep down that at least the vegetarians[1] are right and that they don’t like being reminded of their moral failings. Thus every time they plan getting food for a group and the vegans mention their culinary restrictions, they feel attacked and try to compensate for it by blaming the vegans.

[1] I’ve encountered to many people reporting that they experienced serious health issues with going full vegan, so I’m very much not convinced that veganism is something that works for everyone long term. The same issues do however clearly not apply to vegetarianism.

“AI” optimierte Bahnen haben

Um so besser wenn Deutschland den Quatsch nicht hat. AI hat an der Stelle einfach überhaupt nichts verloren.

On Arch you can easily uninstall Linux.

The fun part is that there are even legit reasons to do so, the by far most likely one being that you want to use a different package that provides you with a kernel, such as linux-lts or linux-hardened. Definitely know what you are doing in that case though!

AI not, but I’d be less certain about LLMs.

Nein, Dünnbier hat besser geschmeckt, aber das war’s auch. Du kannst aus verseuchtem Wasser kein trinkbares Bier machen, insbesondere kein Dünnbier.

Das ist mal wieder eine von diesen unsinnigen Mittelaltermythen die nicht sterben wollen, weil sie dauernd wiedergekäut werden.

Was passiert ist, dass viele Menschen den Alkohol nur noch bei tatsächlichen Anlässen trinken, wozu ich indem Zusammenhang insbesondere Party am Freitagabend, Besuche von Freunden oder generell gemeinsames Ausgehen zähle. Meine Spekulation wäre, dass sich da auch nicht all zu viel am Konsum geändert hat. Was halt eher eingebrochen sein dürfte ist das Trinken auf der Arbeit ohne Anlass, weil fast überall verboten und eventuell ein gesteigertes Bewusstsein gegen alleine trinken.

Ich habe manchmal den Eindruck das Alkohol früher eher als Lebensmittel und heute eher als in manchen Kontexten akzeptable Droge angesehen wird, wobei letzteres definitiv die gesündere Interpretation ist.

Und Zugriff auf eine Droge die einen enthemmenten Effekt hat ist prinzipiell auch durchaus etwas, was gesellschaftlich durchaus positive Effekte mit sich bringen kann, auch weil Alkohol als mischbare Flüssigkeit halt in sehr vielen Formen kommt die sich alle konsumieren lassen ohne direkt andere zu belästigen und bei deren Konsum auch der Drogenkonsum nicht der alleinige Zweck ist. (Wer einfach nur betrunken werden will, kann sich Wodka hinter die Binde kippen, aber zumindest ich bevorzuge dann doch deutlich ein komplexes Geschmackserlebnis in einer guten Cocktailbar, bei der man dann am besten auch den Barkeeper die Auswahl treffen lässt.)

Und da weiß ich halt nicht was bessere Alternativen sind, die diese potentiellen Eigenschaften teilen, auch wenn Alkohol für sich betrachtet ja durchaus eine der härtesten und gefährlichsten Drogen ist und alleine deswegen so verbreitet ist, weil er halt seit je her extrem etabliert ist.

Okay, but if I compare my Ingo to Pfister’s Riverside the first thing I notice is this:

I very early on made a very conscious decision that I wouldn’t put much effort into keeping it in pristine condition and would instead allow it to develop some character; if some liquid leaves a stain by embedding itself into the wood, then that would be a part of the tables story. Burnmarks? The same. And not only does that attitude make you much more relaxed, it gives the table character and it has been dealing with it very well. When I wanted to have a power-strip in the middle of the room I just screwed it to the underside of the table and brought the cable with some cable-holders that I nailed into it, to one of its feet and have been extremely happy with that ever since.

Very few people, and I am very much not one of them, would be comfortable taking that kind of approach with a ≈1000€ table and I can assure you that I would be less happy for it.

And yes, I care about the table being reasonably durable (which it is), but it being cheap is a feature beyond price too, and the largely untreated pine from which it is made is something that I like: I really enjoyed the smell that it had when it was still new.

Women are you doing today and how much more likely to be clear this is the queue for the vrouwen cafe stated that the zugbindung is een van de kleine Berg en Dal van de kleine Berg en Dal van de kleine Berg…

When you are German, live in the Netherlands, communicate mostly in English and hate typing on your phone…

The backup-generator seems to be the one semi-legit use-case that keeps coming up where few people have been able to present a significantly better alternative.

For starters with the abysmal waiting times, which are frankly inexcusable and scientifically unjustifiable considering the well-established fact that informed consent works. There is precisely no reason why trans people should have to wait longer than diabetes-patients to get treatment, quite the opposite in fact, considering that HRT can easily be prescribed by GPs. Yet the waiting lists in all of those countries are longer than for pretty much any other treatment.

Then we have the incompetent selection of anti-androgens. Cypro is admittedly much better than Spiro, but properly scheduled injections of GNRH-agonists are much better and not done there. In exchange a friend of mine there who did trust her physicians at the time ended up unintentionally driving her cat insane, because nobody bothered to mention to her, that she shouldn’t touch other people or animals for 1-2 hours after application. Of course E is also only handed out as pills or sometimes as gel, because nobody can be arsed to prescribe injections, which would turn taking it into a weekly thing when talking about EEn.

I can’t really comment on the quality of surgeries, once they happen, because in practice you seem to wait for them until you are old. Probably because all the surgeons prefer to do knee-surgeries with their 30% regret-rate…

Now few of these things are specific, most of them hold in most countries that claim to offer trans healthcare, most notably the inexcusable waiting lists, but the Scandinavian countries are certainly not better. And that is before we get into all the bullshit about forcing trans kids to go through puberty because right-wing assholes keep attacking access to healthcare for minors, despite indisputable scientific evidence that this healthcare is necessary. And yes, that very much includes Sweden!

At the very least the Scandinavian countries. (Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland)

LOL! They are all dogshit!

You really demonstrate the point well that you have no fucking clue about the topic. Like: I know several Danish trans girls, and IIRC every single one felt the need to DIY at some point, because of how badly the system was failing them.
