If you could regulate something relatively inconsequential, what would it be?
  • Dishwashers and dish sets have complimenting standards. E.g.

    Dishwasher rack is set A.

    Dishes (plates, bowls, tupperware, etc.) Would advertise as "fitting rack sizes A,B, & D!"

    What keyboard layout do you use?
  • I tried dvorak in 2008 and was using it for about 6 months. The thing that really tripped me was the keyboard shortcuts. I was just too used to the QWERTY setup. Did you have to overcome this, and if so, how?

    Teaching Jordan Peterson That Climate Change Is Real: Part One – SOME MORE NEWS
  • Cody basically says it's just a video on climate change (which people are reluctant to watch) but to grab their attention, it's ACTUALLY a video TO Jordan - an idiot's idea of a smart person - about climate change.

    I really like how he explains stuff. Looking forward to part 2.

    Will 2025 be better or worse than 2024?
  • If you don't already know a close crew of friends, I would suggest starting an Empty Nesters In Training group.

    Get together once or twice a month or so, makes the transition easier for when your kid graduates HS for college.

    And also good luck with the job!

    Food aid is piling up inside Gaza. Here's why it's not reaching those in need
  • I feel two ways about click bait and am open to having my mind changed.

    1. Frustrating the info isn't readily available because news should be free for the people, easy to access, and factual.
    2. Good journalism should be supported and takes effort, time, and money.

    The climate case for mock meats is clear. But who can afford them?
  • Yep, and cooking is easier and safer (I don't need to worry about cross contamination)

    Being vegan is way cheaper and that's not even accounting for the massive subsidies the meat and dairy industries get, from our taxes.

    Too powerful for their Euro arteries
  • I was vegetarian when I worked there, very grateful as I probably would be dead of solid arteries after 3 weeks. I like that Ikea has vegan dogs, wish Costco had something similar.

  • I'm not like one of those weirdos that just kills for no reason. I shot that dolphin right in its wet brain and I loved it. In fact, my pleasure from doing so was higher than my vegetarian friend's when they ate a whole block of cheese.

    Right now, there's $20k being offered for information about me, but I think that's dumb. I tried to go to the FBI with information about a trophy hunter and the local butcher, but the special agent said he wouldn't give me any money for that and they already knew about it. He did offer me a bacon-topped doughnut on the way out though!

    Edit, dang this is very different than Reddit's vcj.

    Time to Statham Punch
  • I'm having a difficult time reconciling that there's no SP in The Meg. But I'm also not willing to watch the movie, so I'll live with believing this information provided

    What's something that feels illegal to know?
  • Unfortunately, I am allergic to morphine, wake me up when they can turn sugar into Dilaudid.

    Or better yet, morphine into fully baked sugar cookies.

    Analysis | Millennials aren’t having kids. Here are the reasons why.
  • Another millennial adding on:

    1. Bringing a sentient life into a world of suffering and climate change that will only worsen seems malicious to that life, at this point.
    2. My partner really doesn't want to go through the body changes that come with pregnancy.

    Additional emphasis on #3, even if it didn't compromise safety, a healthy pregnancy is expensive! Healthcare from any complications is financially devastating.

    Small aside that adoption is not off the table for us, but we're not financially comfortable to get a dog yet, which we've been saving for for a few years. One of us would need to get a huge raise to be able to afford the costs of adoption and raising of a human child.
