I love (read: hate) how comfortable some people are loudly proclaiming how little empathy they have.

That sucks.

If you want to try learning, start with some pasta. Put water on the stove, boil it, add salt and pasta, stir, drain when the box says (don't cook it too long or it'll suck), put whatever you want on it. You can start by just pouring a jar of sauce on top and upgrade to something tougher when you're more comfortable with it.

What’s one small habit that makes vegan living easier?

Being delusional enough to believe that people might change their minds if only you're kind and patient and logical around them.

What do you mean by "real world politics"? Don't be shy, tell us.

Of course it is. People at large don't care if their social media goes to shit. They're going to keep using it and complaining about it even as it gets worse and worse.

But transgenders and pronouns were never ever a thing in the Dragon Age franchise, and now they suddenly feature these so prominently.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krem_(Dragon_Age)

Every Dragon Age game has had pronouns because that's how fucking language works. Your brain has just been poisoned by right-wing outrage over "pronouns".

Also, "transgenders" isn't a word. "Transgender" is an adjective, not a noun, not that I expect that to mean anything to someone who freaks out about "pronouns".

This sounds like a plausible thing that actually happened.

Kind of seems like a contradiction

They don't care. There's no point in calling conservatives out on hypocrisy. Only a very small number of them will give a shit, and those will be the ones who were already having doubts.

You don't have any Retroachievements because you're bad at video games.

I don't have any because RetroArch sucks and also I'm bad at video games.

You mean this guy could have saved us from Google's browser monopoly? The world could have been so different...

I would have asked this on a math community but I couldn't find an active one.

In a spherical geometry, great circles are "straight lines". As such, a triangle can have two or even three right angles to it.

But what if you go the long way around the back of the sphere? Is that still a triangle?

(Edit:) I guess it's a triangle! Fair enough; I can't think of what else you would call it. Thanks, everyone.

 

My eyes were bigger than my stomach... At least I'll have leftovers.
