I mean, there’s a lot of ways bodies are dirty, but that just means you have to recognize the reasonable limits to cleanliness and learn to deal with what remains. (“shit happens”, after all)

As someone who struggled a lot with black-and-white thinking when I was younger, I can definitely see how someone could develop some warped views in the absence of decent education / role models.

That was a wild read, I’m sorry you’re dealing with that

I use it as a step counter and a sleep tracker every night (with plugin), don’t use any of the built-in activities though

routinely get nearly two weeks out of my Venu 3

I feel like I’ve found my people. Thank you. This is incredible.

Are we gonna gloss over the fact that the EEOC was storing plaintext passwords? Fucking incompetent

“I am”

yes (it’s literally the first fucking sentence of the article.)

Reasonable and nuanced take, you love to see it!

Kind of wild that it’s crowd sourced data and still such a severe ratio, thanks for the link!

Is there an add on that re-enables the dislike counter?

A somewhat more hopeful take is that this strategy could be weaponized against misinformation too.

No longer do you have A: as a floppy drive, now it’s C: as a sloppy drive

1. If you are a citizen because your parent/spouse was, and that parent/spouse has their citizenship revoked under subsection (a) because of fraud, you lose your citizenship.
2. If you are a citizen because your parent/spouse was, and that parent/spouse has their citizenship revoked under subsection © because of any reason other than fraud, you lose your citizenship if you are not residing in the United States at the time their citizenship is revoked.

Wouldn’t you want to use “vegan” to describe the diet and “veganist” to describe the ideology, then?

“Carnism” makes veganism a lot easier to discuss, because simply “vegan or non-vegan” places carnism in a position of inherent normalcy. Imagine another movement (especially a minority one) that could only describe anyone in terms of “us or non-us”. Positioning carnism as an ideology (which it objectively is) challenges its otherwise unchallenged position.

Having a word for “non-us” doesn’t really prevent the word from being used rhetorically in an “us vs. them” way, though… and there are plenty of other minority movements that were defined by that same kind of binary language (most of them are not remembered fondly.)

I guess the point I am trying to make is, if your hypothesis is true, that terminology isn’t widely understood outside of vegan circles. If you write a paragraph at someone and they would have to look up a half dozen words to even understand your point, they are much more likely to dismiss you as some kind of radical and/or loon rather than spend the time. It’s kind of like when you stroll into a philosophy or politics discussion and your brain balks at all the lingo.

They walk away thinking a vegan said some stupid shit to them, the vegan walks away thinking some stupid shit was said to them, and the interaction is a failure for all parties.

I think it is probably because it gets used in a way where it takes on a slur-like connotation. It feels a bit complicated to this onlooker; vegan and non-vegan would seem like adequate terms at first glance, but because “vegan” is overloaded (it’s both used to describe a diet of non-animal by/products and the broader social movement of advocating against the same) it feels a bit lacking.

Oh jeez. In my experience Accenture is barely competent; this does not bode well.

And don’t forget that you still have to pay US income taxes on income earned overseas! 🙄

Or like, a CR2032.
