Annoyingly I go back and forth because whichever pronunciation I’m on sounds worse than when I hear it the other way.
Not sure what the original point was but curiously I happened to use file on a an Apple .numbers file recently and found that it was a .zip file in disguise with zero compression.
So maybe the point was that it’s used often as a container format more often than it’s used for compression? Just my (unrelated) general computer work would also suggest this.
Hard agree, but I see vegans arguing that it is vegan all the time.
My philosophy is that I don’t want to mess with animals simply because I can. It’s that simple.
Just as an example, a lot of vegans will happily eat honey and it never occurred to me in my first year that it could be questionable. I decided on the spot never to consume it again simply because by my logic we’re having to hoard up a bunch of bees and make them produce it for us — only later did I read up on the topic and find all the arguments for/against it — but that didn’t matter to me because I try to keep it that simple.
Hunting is an area I haven’t given much thought. I grew up in a hunting family, shot a deer at five years of age, etc. but never got into it. I know there’s a big debate surrounding it but knowing I don’t want to hunt in the first place I haven’t really read up on it simply because it’s not relevant to me.
Never understood all the hate. Sometimes I actually crave that weird-ass flavor.
Personally speaking, I’ve never been a fan of this method because to the hosting web server it was still fetched. That might confirm that an email address exists or (mistakenly) confirm that the user did in fact follow the link (or load the resource).
I have ad and tracking blocked like crazy (using DNS) so I can’t follow most links in emails anyway. External assets aren’t loaded either, but this method basically circumvents that (which I hate).
I have all of Google completely blocked and I don’t care to watch content from YouTube. It’s a nonissue for me, but sometimes I’ll use Invidious if I really need to — so the random ads would definitely suck.

It was originally released in 480, so those DVD rips are probably the “best” quality-wise (unless they did some work on it before releasing for streaming).
If that’s the case it’s probably easier to rent the discs and rip them. Obviously this is a piracy community but hey, technically it’s still piracy if you’re copying rented discs am I right?
Distracted driving because it seems like the government completely gave up on enforcing texting while driving laws.
More generally, drivers being completely unaware of their surroundings and causing almost accidents everywhere they go because everyone around them has to correct for them as to not cause an accident.
