I thought we were doing pointless hopes.

I hope Elon Musk and JK Rowling donate a billion dollars each to trans rights organizations and Ed Sheeran releases a song called "From the River to the Sea"

For me it's like if I want the character to be an analogue for myself, I choose a male and try to make them look like me. If I want the character to be cool, I aim as close to warrior princess as I can get.

I mean, it's not really fair because plants don't have any of the same "parts" we do that would constitute a body as such. When I think of growing my body, I think of organs and tissues such as muscle, bone, blood, neurons, etc. These are primary components of what would be considered nutritional intake from a dead body that would be reconstructed for use in our own body. Plants do not have muscles, bones, etc. We are using basic nutrients like cats, proteins, and carbohydrates as building blocks for our own parts. As noted elsewhere it takes a fraction of the plant matter necessary to build our own muscles than it does to feed a pound of meat to them use to build muscle from that. So even by your flawed logic, it's still less plants to eat them directly than it is to eat meat grown from them.

Additionally, the vast majority of plant products don't even require a plant to "die" to eat. Many fruits and vegetables are just the reproductive structure of the plant, not vital for the health of the plant at all. I am an avid gardener and the only plants I can think of that have to "die" for me to eat them are root vegetables. Even then if you're diligent you could save, for example, the tops of carrots or bottom of onions to regrow.

They are completely different concepts and it's bad faith to argue otherwise.

I know this is kind of a joke but this is legitimately one of the reasons I went vegetarian. Felt very "icky" to build my body out of other dead bodies.

Lindsey Stirling puts on a pretty great show, lots of acrobatics and fun choreography. Her Christmas show is a TON of fun.

I saw the Foo Fighters in 2008. Nothing crazy like that happened but it was an absolutely amazing show. The highlight was Dave heading to the B-stage with his acoustic guitar for Everlong, then leading into the bridge and all the lights went down. It was silent for a good 5-10 seconds until he just starts running back to the A-stage, all the lights went up, and the whole band started going hard as fuck and he screams "YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" and they did the last verse as hard as I've ever heard it. The energy was insane.

That's exactly what I did, except I just started ordering PG, VG, flavoring, and nicotine to mix myself. I came up with a recipe that worked for me and was about the equivalent of 3mg nicotine. I dont remember exactly but it was something like 10mg of nicotine mix per bottle, and the bottle lasted me about 2 weeks. Every time I remade it I lowered the nicotine by 1mg until I I was at 1mg, then I just quit.

The hardest part was the hand to mouth habit, and the weird way the "urge" would pop back up when I would do something again for the first time that used to be a vape trigger, even months or years later, like long drives, replaying an old game I used to play when I vaped, or visiting a place I hadn't been since I quit. Thankfully this has completely gone away with time.

I use them as well, simply because they had a screaming deal for 3 years of service, it seems plenty fast and stable, and my threat model is pretty much just keeping my torrenting private.

They were trying to be nice.

A little bit of Carson Daly too.

And scientists.
