Are we really going to start a discussion over it? It’s just a matter of opinion, and I think dedicating your life completely to a cause and at a certain point removing yourself entirely from the cause is kinda throwing your time away, he might’ve affected the meat industry, but it’s kinda like pause//unpause for a game, he also really gave the feeling of throwing it away, he didn’t stopped because he gave up on the cause, he didn’t cared about it for quite some time, so he just changed a part of his lifestyle.
Fuck, I meant Vegetarian, not Vegan, bro, english sucks.
I am not shaming him, as I said I am neutral about his decision, I’m supporting every (sensible) decision he makes, he is my brother and I just found it to be “weird” and “surprising” that he just dropped it out of nowhere and I wanted to share that feeling here.
Even tho he was vegetarian that was still about 10% of all he thought about, 90% of his mind is Discord.
Funny enough he didn’t woke up yesterday to school and my mom called me and asked me to call him “through that discord thing” hoping that would wake him up… it didn’t
I agree, it might not even be about the environmental effect. One of my close relatives stopped eating meat when they were 4, after seeing a sheep being beheaded for family kebab. They’ve been keeping on to it for the last 32 years. There were many scenarios where not eating meat raised blame and disagreements and it was a hard task to fight with the old culture family.
As a personal opinion, although I respect those banning meat for environmental reasons, I doubt it’ll succeed in full. Best that could happen is the meat industry optimizing their methods, not abolishing.
Arizona finally can move on from Doug Ducey’s grandstanding now that Katie Hobbs has been sworn in. She narrowly beat Dalia Margolis…I mean Kari Lake… in the last election.
I just found out that Lotus are making a new car and it is a fucking all-electric crossover SUV because of course it is. It looks like a Geely fucked an Urus for the love of God. It has three hundred miles of range, producing up to 600bph at the base model and all of that is powered by Colin Chapman spinning in his fucking grave!
Don’t they also have some crazy hyper sports car that is also all electric coming? IIRC it’s the typical electric shaver design that all the hyper cars have morphed into each other at.
We used to have Ferrari, Lamborghini, Pagani, McLaren, Bugatti, even Audi and some others made super cars and they all looked different. Now even the Corvette looks like the rest of them. Every super car is made by Braun or Gillette.
Yes they do, the Evija I believe they call it. Also what is wrong with the way it looks? I think it looks pretty cool especially the rear with its highlights around those rear scoops and they at least had the courteously to design it to Lotus’ actual standards. Besides my biggest problem with the Eletre is that it is a crossover SUV in and of itself and how it is antithetical to the Lotus brand.
I think that is a bit of a stretch and a bit unfair. You can still tell the difference between a Ferrari and a Lamborghini hypercar and all the rest.
Oh I fucking hate how the C8 looks, not even a speck of the old Sharks in there at all. All the other companies you mentioned at least retain older design elements even the company whose car is the most radically different (the Bugatti Bolide, in my opinion)
If there’s anyone who’s a fan of Nintendo/Tsunku’s Rhythm Heaven series and wants another one, there’s an indie spiritual successor being made called Bits and Bops, using the same gameplay format.
There’s a demo and kickstarter up now, but ending very very soon. I’m really glad I caught this so soon because I’m definitely putting my money in to fund (and get) it.
This has to be the most interesting gun design I have seen in a long time. I kinda wish it had a cocking lever like the Chiappa Rino as I have no desire for a double action only pistol. I do love all steel sidearms though and it’s fun to see the bullpup design being used on a handgun.
Didn’t know where else to put this but Sam Wallman did a piece on the Pinkertons, yes I know funny Red Dead bad guys but historically there are evil people.
My grandfather passed away. Which is strangely bittersweet. He passed old, and we knew it was coming for a long time. In a way it was the best way it can happen : he saw the large majority of the family at Christmas, the day after felt ill, and passed a day later. There is some solace, there is some sadness.
On a different note, I might change my job. It’s still the same kind of job (support of academics/research), but would be more international. I don’t know, I’m just looking into the proposition.
