Yeah, the sailing in Valheim's kind of a slog.

I've been enjoying starmourn recently, it's pretty good.

They use carbon dioxide, unfortunately. It's not a nice way to go. Source: https://viva.org.uk/animals/slaughter-how-animals-are-killed/pig-gassing-in-the-uk/

Also it's not uncommon to gas livestock to death, I'm not sure where you got that from

Eh, not really. As long as there are still people here to talk to I'm good 👍

Ah how come? I've had to build simple stuff in unity for university, I've not run into issues.

Yeah hiking poles are game changers.

Yeah again I wouldn't recommend it, it seems a bit unnecessary. There are a huge number of environmentally friendly vegan clothing options.

I get omnivores telling me I can replace my vegan food with literal corpses. Dead animals are definitely less environmentally friendly than what I'm eating.

Actually we'd rather you didn't use either, neither of these things are good for the environment.

Yeah, actually I agree with you. PETA isn't a good source, they're like the fox news of veganism.

I'm not a fan of PETA either but that source doesn't say anything about animal rights groups claiming sheep are killed for their wool. Why lie dude?

Do you have any sources for that? I've googled and couldn't find any.

Yeah Rust can do all of those things as well, JavaScript is obviously much more common.

Lenovo ThinkPads are really well built. I'd steer clear of their ideapads though, they're the usual consumer marketed rubbish.

Yeah check out https://cronometer.com/ . It's fantastic for this.

The cost is reasonable, you can get 1tb of storage for around £10 a month. Most Seedboxes will let you install VPN servers on them as well, I'm not sure what you pay for specific VPN software nowadays. So you could theoretically replace Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu etc and have a VPN.

They're basically required for building ratio on private trackers nowadays.

I wouldn't bother tbh. As soon as you start using it in your torrent client other users can see your IP address anyway.

Seedboxes are a pretty good solution.

No, if they bring it up in conversation respectful questions are fair game.

Just double checked the definition of causal here and I'm pretty sure it is. As the demand for a product falls, less is produced.

I don't think I agree with this, as less people buy meat the demand for it falls. As the demand falls less is produced. Kind of a simple take I guess but I don't think your comment makes sense.

Is there an angle to this that I've missed?

Can you provide another example please? I'm not sure I follow the bucket analogy.

If I choose not to eat meat it lessens the demand for it (however minutely). On a larger scale with many vegans refusing to eat meat less animals are bred into existence to be slaughtered.

What am I missing?
