You’re combining the two Kellogg brothers. One thought that pleasure was sin, and that a good diet should be as bland as possible to maintain piety. The other thought his brother’s cereal tasted like shit and was really hard to market and sell, until he added sugar and salt, then subsequently became filthy rich.

No, it’s because teenage boys eat a lot

Assassin’s Creed 14

What the fuck there’s 14 Assassin’s Creed games? Surely they’re gonna run out of historical periods soon. It’s only a matter of time before the announce Assassin’s Creed: Unga Bunga where you just sneak around the forest as a cave man

It’s a bunch of technobabble loosely related to his harebrained scheme to launch a fuckload of solar powered AI servers into LEO.

Nah, you can pretty easily define a Blockchain as a special case of a Merkel tree with a distributed consensus method.

Money and capitalism are toxic to the planet. You cannot have an economic system based on infinite growth when you live on a planet with finite resources and ecological limits. Blockchain enabling* a “better” way to spend money doesn’t change the fact that money is still a disease.

They turn a profit by contracting their services out to governments and businesses

lower rates because it’s a bigger pool of purchasing power

You’re so close to getting it

Thanks. That’s a pretty dumb comparison to make, but thank you for translating.

Uh I’m sorry, what the fuck are you talking about now? Did you respond to the right person?

And the fact that you assume people “aren’t thinking critically” when they use a word in a way you don’t like says a lot about you. Makes you seem like the entitled one, actually.

If you can’t accept that saying “I eat vegan” or “I follow a vegan diet” is just as valid as someone saying “I’m vegan” in the context of taking about food/diets, you’re gonna have a tough time, because that’s just how our language is used.

I play tons of multiplayer games with anti cheat. The ones that don’t run are the ones I wouldn’t even play on a Windows machine though

There isn’t really a verbal distinction though. “Vegan” is an overloaded word that has multiple definitions, and you can very validly use it to describe your diet. “Correcting” people by telling them they should say “plant based” instead is just pedantry.

Whitney Houston =/= Mariah Carey

This sort of pedantry also annoys and turns people away from the cause though. Typically when people say they’re vegan, they’re talking about their diet, and it’s easy to infer that based on context. I really hope you don’t go around browbeating self-professed vegans by going “nuh uh, you’re a liar, that’s a leather strap I see on your watch”

This used to be what Alberta was.

After your ancestors came and genocided the dark-skinned natives. But they always leave out that part huh

Cool, so between their childish whinging and yours, your combined efforts covered about 30% of the text in the post, congrats. Do you want a cookie?

So did you just ignore the whole majority of the text that was complaining about things other than AI, or are you just illiterate and got lucky posting this comment?

What alternate strategy?

To be clear, I think I mostly agree with you, that certain people are entrenched and merely pointing out hypocrisy does nothing to change their ways of thinking. What other options are there?
