An extremely subjective and esoteric set of criteria. Sometimes it’s because the representation of Jesus is hot, sometimes the crucifix is rather ornate, sometimes it’s just different from what I’ve seen before.

I ended up with three crucifixes by various happenstance, and then I kinda just started buying cool ones whenever I’d see any in thrift stores.

Seriously, our flag is like the best thing Canada has going for it.

Although as much as I loathe little corner Union Jacks on flags, I have to admit I’d probably get a kick from the reaction of the entire province of Québec if it were to happen.

Whenever I drive (which is rare) and I go through an intersection on a yellow light, I punch the ceiling of the car. I’ll even punch the air above my head if I run a yellow on my bicycle.

Someone told me back in high school that it’s bad luck not to do so, and for some reason it stuck with me.

I honestly feel that’s less of a diss on the Neo and more of a statement on how overpowered phones are now, especially considering the limitations placed on mobile OSes.

Hey! As a vegan stoner, I resent that. I use an Arch-derivative (EndeavourOS btw).

Peanut Butter Sunday and FUUDGE are two French Canadian bands worth checking out!

IIRC, Spotube streams its music from YouTube.

Xcode is an IDE, this version being released in March.

The Ides of March is the day Julius Caesar was assassinated.

I think that’s all there is to the joke, unless I’m also missing something.

If you go about it with curiosity, especially if you focus on recipes instead of ethics, you’re probably good. Sharing food is such a big social thing that you get a bit ostracized from when you’re vegan, so it truly is nice to share recipes with earnest people like you seem to be.

Now if only I can figure out vegan meals that would do well in my smoker!

I’ve never used a smoker so I’m not quite familiar with the process, but my first instinct would be trying something with seitan. I did find some recipes with just a quick search.

If you do smoke some seitan, feel free to invite me, I’ll bring drinks! :P

I’ve never made anyone become vegan, but a lot of my friends have definitely opened up to incorporating more vegetarian or vegan meals into their diets, which I do count as a small win.

A friend who used to be very much the meat & potatoes type has recently been texting me excitedly about the new vegan recipes he’s been trying out. He still regularly eats meat, but hey, it’s something.

I’ve been vegan for nearly ten years, I dread any time the topic comes up with people who aren’t also vegan.

It usually becomes a pointless debate where I either have to heavily self-censor, or end up hurting the feelings of people who eat animal products. It’s always the same conversations I’ve already had hundreds of times, no one’s gonna change my mind and I probably won’t change theirs either.

It’s important to make sure reality is compatible with your hardware.

No, my mom taught me we should respect the elderly.

I have a pretty addictive personality and I thank the stars that I’ve never enjoyed coke on the handful of occasions I’ve tried it. It just made me feel overly talkative to the point of being annoying.

Trump is literally a WWE Hall of Famer.

I was around 20 when I first started browsing trans subreddits “as an ally”, and I also made a few jokes to some friends about how “I’m probably non-binary lol”.

I was 23 when I finally actually came to terms with my gender and sexual orientation. Those three years were rough :P

I’m quite partial to Lil Jon’s All I Really Want For Christmas, featuring the Kool-Aid Man.

Yes, the Kool-Aid Man.

I’d assume it’s the same as any other watermark; to mark content as being made/owned by the entity associated with the logo.

As I read it, their argument is that fascism can only be sustained if a sizable number of people who would suffer under fascism actively support it.

If only the tiny minority of elites that benefits from fascism actually supported it, it wouldn’t be near the level of popularity necessary to be sustainable.
