No one pronounces “JPEG” with a ph sound, though.

Fun fact! The word milk has been used for plant-based liquids and saps since at least the 14th century.

Die away upon your hill, but historical and popular usage disagree with you :P

Tomatoes, cabbage, and onions, that’s a lot of vegetables in one meal! Are you one of them woke f*gs?

The amount of people worried about my nutrition as a vegan but who wouldn’t bat an eye at someone eating McDonald’s every day…

Unless I absolutely have to for logistical reasons, I refuse to talk about me being a vegan to others.

It typically results in a debate in which I have no desire to participate. I’ve had the same conversations with people over and over again in my 9 years being vegan. I always either have to censor my opinions, or I end up upsetting someone when I say I think this thing they’re doing is morally wrong.

People rarely engage the topic with genuine curiosity, they usually just want me to assuage their cognitive dissonance and tell them “oh the way you eat animals is totally acceptable!”

I do wonder what the Corsican’s name is in French given that boneywasawarroirwayayix is very English (language and culture) specific.

His original French name is Ocatarinetabellatchitchix, which is a reference to a song by Tino Rossi (who has Corse ancestry).

As someone who loves both pickles and cucumbers, I couldn’t disagree more.

If I’m craving one and someone hands me the other, I’ll be upset.

It’s not Nazi unless it’s from the Rhine basin area, otherwise it’s just sparkling genocide.

This is what you’re arguing about. The intent in calling them Nazis isn’t to insinuate they’re members of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei and no one would assume that’s the intent.

“Nazi” is common parlance as a shorthand for genocidal fascists because the Nazis are by far the most well-known genocidal fascists.

The meaningless semantic argument you’re putting forth is either a useless distraction, or you’re simply purposefully arguing in bad faith to derail the conversation.

The campfires in Celeste are great. They’re such a peaceful respite after the intensity of the gameplay.

If you think bacon on ice cream is weird enough to cancel an order, I can only imagine you’ve never worked a customer service job.

bike lanes piss me off

Agreed! Most bike lanes end up being nothing more than a painted bicycle gutter.

What we truly need is dedicated cycle paths adjacent to busy roads, and low-traffic, low-speed streets in commercial or residential areas where cyclists and pedestrians are prioritized over car traffic (see the Dutch city-planning concept of autoluw)

The Canadian flag is not a “bog standard three stripes” design. It even introduced a new vexillological term; the Canadian pale.

I don’t understand why you think the maple leaf, a symbol which has been associated with Canada ever since there was a “Canada” to speak of, is “cringe”.

The Canadian flag is a vexillological masterpiece and I will die on this hill. I wouldn’t bother dying for my country, but I would for its flag. It’s instantly recognizable, simple yet symbolic, and honestly such a massive glow-up from the previous Red Ensign flag.

You want to see a cringe flag? Look at this atrocity:

That I have a tendency towards addiction with drugs. I’ve been high (marijuana) more often than not for the past decade, with spurts of alcoholism peppered in throughout my adult life. I also had a phase for about a year where I did shrooms once or twice a week.

I still struggle with my consumption, but at least now I’m aware that it can easily get to the point where it affects my life too much and can cut back when I’m starting to feel like I’m getting sucked in. I think I’ll always be an addict of some form or another, though.

Sriracha on pizza, you’re my kind of people.

I actually had somewhat of a dependency on sriracha at one point in my life. I was working at a summer camp, and the food being kinda bland I brought in a bottle of sriracha one day. Then a few others did the same. At the end of the summer, we were basically daring each other to douse our meals in unholy amounts of that rooster’s sauce.

It took me three weeks after the job ended to be able to taste anything that didn’t have sriracha on it.

I’m curious, what attracted you to the Conservatives prior to the Maple-MAGA movement?

King of the Hill. I love the characters so much, especially the dynamic between Hank and Bobby.

I’m so fucking tired of Americans saying shit like “omg Canada as the 51st state would totally skew our elections Democrat, get owned Trump!”

The reality is, in any scenario where Canada gets annexed by the US, American democracy will not exist anymore by then. Even if there are fake elections, we’d most likely not be allowed to vote (à la Puerto Rico, as you point out).

I do appreciate someone pointing out how utterly enraged us Francophones would be if subjected to US rule.

I just took an edible and it’s starting to kick in, but I still want to figure this out.

Getting stoned and getting the magic rocks in my homelab to do my bidding is one of my favourite ways to use up my time on this Earth.
