I hold no allegiance to Singer, I was merely using him as an example since he is a well known moral philosopher. But now I'm curious, what's the tea, why is he so bad? What makes him deserving of the title human garbage?

Hey don't get me wrong, there's a lot of people that need to touch grass, there's some areas that I have ignorant opinions about. But the best way to fix that is to have constructive mature conversations with real people.

Ps. Carnivore diet is silly and leaves you with less energy than 4 well rounded meals a day, even if it is consistent. Smaller complete meals throughout the day can give you more consistently high energy than ketosis ever will.

Wildermyth is a weird game that comes up with really interesting procedurally generated stories as you play through the life of an adventurer.

I have lots of friends that are vegan/have been vegan, or are sympathetic to the cause. IRL I have had some wonderful conversations about veganism and the ethics of our diet. But on the Internet it's the vegans ironically that need to get out and touch grass. It's like there's no nuance to any conversation, like sorry I can be Peter Singer, it's actually kinda difficult to be that moral.

You could just do steroids, then you could get ripped and lactate. Sounds like a win win to me

And then you get to the weird addiction space where I feel guilty if I haven't gone for a run in 2 days. Humans are weird.

My brother was building ebikes back in college back when companies were just starting to sell them, so this was somewhere around 2010(I'm not so good with numbers). When he built his it was more of a moped. It had a throttle and a hub motor and could go pretty darn fast, though technically counted as an experimental vehicle.

I believe back then there were still laws about how fast a bike could go before it was considered a motorcycle, at least in New York. But I think going fast was part of the appeal of early ebikes.

There was a very hacky feel to the community then. I remember visiting my brother and seeing a guy ride an ebike with a trailer that carried all his batteries.

I didn't have a problem with the length of the previous 3 games, but they were all fantastic. Does anyone have any tips for remembering all the stuff when you only play games like once a week or less.

I've had a lot of luck joining a run club, but there are other activity based clubs. The trick to these though is that you need to keep going to them for a while before you really start becoming friends with people.

What's really worked for me was working as a snowboard instructor on the weekend. I'm not saying do that specifically, but finding a second job based around teaching is an amazing way to meet other people who like meeting new people and being nice and sharing their skills and experiences. I should specify, the people I meet are other instructors. I've also met some people at events, like when I got my avalanche rec 1 cert.

Umm, I don't know, probably. I'm just curious about jobs like that in another country

Umm, I don't. We're a Republic, always have been.

Even if you're forklift certified? Or other heavy equipment operator (crane, excavator, front loader, big truck)?
