I spent so, so much time in trans subreddits, especially /r/egg_irl.

It took over two years of basically exclusively looking at trans memes, "to get a better understanding of the trans experience as an ally", for me to start considering I might be trans!

I also recall a time near the beginning of that trans meme phase where I said to a friend "I think I'm probably non-binary". He was like "what?" to which I answered "what?" and I just left it at that, not even a hint of introspection.

I work in a café and the comments I overhear men saying to my feminine coworkers are insane. I get some weird comments sometimes (I'm pretty visibly queer) but it's nothing compared to them. I honestly don't know how women deal with it.

Tomatoes would be odd, I've never seen that. Onions, or at a minimum garlic power, should be in any burger recipe, IMO. Carrots would totally work for a veggie burger, I found this recipe that looks pretty tasty and uses both carrots and onions.

But disregarding all that; I very rarely eat burgers that don't have both onions and tomatoes as toppings :P

To add to idiomaddict's great points, the animals don't eat exclusively grass. In Australia (assuming based on your instance): "the latest estimate (2017-18) of annual feed use in Australia is 13.58 million tonnes" (SFMCA).

This includes "cereal grains, legume grains, vegetable protein meals, animal protein meals, cereal milling co-products, minerals and vitamins" as per that same source.

I often see people use the deforestation of the Amazon for soy crops as a sort of gotcha for vegans, even though most soybeans are grown for use as animal feed (in the Amazon, mainly cattle). Incidentally, cattle farms are also responsible for much more deforestation in the Amazon than soybeans, but I digress.

I'll also note that grass-fed beef has often been shown to be as bad (or sometimes worse) for the environment than feedlot beef. It also can't scale to meet current meat consumption.

I think the biggest difference between here and Reddit is that here the thread doesn't devolve into worse and worse puns as soon as anyone makes the slightest bit of wordplay.

Even though OP specified it's a real tweet, I honestly didn't believe them. Until I checked.

Fuck, man. I've been getting more and more desensitized to the absolute bullshit that abounds in this world, and most of the insane stuff fascists do barely registers anymore.

But this hit me like a ton of bricks, for some reason. These people are gonna gas minorities and make memes about it. What a fucking pathetic waste of atoms these assholes are.

Sometimes adding the installer as a non-Steam game and running it through Proton works, otherwise I use Lutris. You can find tutorials online for setting it up to use with FitGirl's installers.

Although specifically for Cyberpunk 2077 I had issues with the install, so I found a no-install version, I believe from DODI.

I'm very curious at to what these "far-left" extreme views that the media (owned by billionaires) are espousing. The only news I see is either aligned with fascists or the milquetoastiest of liberalism.

(I'll bet anyone here 5$ that this guy considers "racial minorities and trans people deserve human rights" to be an extremist position)

Ooo I've never heard of this! Kinda sad I only saw this comment after the Summer Sale :P Thanks for sharing!

I'm honestly curious, how would you define anglo-Canadian identity?

I feel like more and more, English Canada is becoming culturally Americanized. Less gun-obsessed, sure, and hockey over football/baseball, but apart from that the difference seems to be waning.

Not that francophone communities, including Québec, aren't also influenced by the US, but the impact is a lot lesser. I'd be super curious to see how much Canadian music/TV the average Canadian listens to, versus how much québécois content the average person in Québec consumes.

There, to me anyways, seems to be a much higher emphasis on national identity in Québec than anywhere else in Canada (for better and for worse).

If you know where to look, a certain athletic woman can give it to you for free if you're on a Steam Deck!

In a similar vein to Superluminal, I'd also recommend Viewfinder, it's kinda like Portal but with a camera rather than a Portal gun.

(Are dumb memes allowed here? Should we have two separate communities, one for news/politics and one for memes, or is this corner of the fediverse still too small for that right now?)
