The hardcore/toxic crowd do nothing except alienate and turn people against the cause and make people think being vegan means being surrounded by assholes.

It’s people like you that welcome everyone into the discussion that inspire more people to try it out; you’re bringing about the real change.

I would. I don’t like it as is.

I turn the brightness on my phone as low as it goes, turn on night shift to get rid of blues, and read (white text on black background / dark mode).

Don’t read in continuous scroll; find a way to turn the page with minimum animation.

Read something you don’t find so compelling as to keep turning pages but enough that you’re happy to read.

I find history books most successful at the moment since there is often no desire by the author to build tension, suspense, etc that keeps you alert.

You can also use something like MagicaVoxel to make blocky 3D models which people can learn to use a heck of a lot faster than Blender etc, especially if they have played Minecraft before.

Ah fuck, our server is getting Gerbilled by Lemmywinks.

I’ve literally tied myself over with several series of Sanderson’s while waiting for the final book in the Kingkiller Chronicle series.

I guess there’s always the reassurance that Sanderson will probably pick up any major series that needs finishing haha.

The stress of success, many eyes watching, and not publishing is less crushing than publishing a shit ending that ruins the trilogy and wipes out all interest in the first two books.

Hah, that music video is genuinely a pretty accurate depiction of your average England village’s May Day celebrations. I went to one this year, got drunk watching old men skipping about while wearing bells, kids tying up a pole with ribbon, folk band (minus the fabulous Mike Edmonds as seen is this video) playing fiddle and more, sitting around on a bunch of straw bales, and cuddled a goat kid while my dog obsessed over a Shetland pony until my partner told us to go home.

Call your mobile provider (and be prepared to jump ship to a different provider) and ask to speak to their “Retentions” department or team. Every big provider has a team whose job it is to keep customers by basically throwing sweeteners at them.

It’s crazy how many services do this if you just call up, asking to cancel. Sky or Virgin (can’t remember which as I’ve not watched broadcast TV in a few years) gave me 3 months free every time I called to cancel.

It’s written by a Bitwarden dev too.

Aaah, thanks for the insight.

Unlimited texts, unlimited calls, 50GB data (music streaming is ignored), EU roaming, 5G for £10/month.

Also it’s crazy how much US and AU people are paying!

It’s wonderful to see such a beautiful part of France’s history restored so incredibly well. My heart broke when I saw it on the news and I hope this brings some joy to the wonderful people of Paris and France. It really is a national treasure and I cannot recommend seeing it in person enough!

L’eau peut nous diviser, mais nous sommes frères et sœurs. Vive la France!

With love from England.

I don’t have good advice here as I’m blessed with parents that ask their kids’ input before voting.

There’s a lot of people suggesting cutting off your family and highlighting scenarios they did the same with their family over the recent election.

Just remember that if they’re stuck in an echo chamber, while to you this was about survival, they experienced very very different messaging through the past few years. They very well could have no idea the true ramifications of their vote.

These echo chambers of misinformation and disinformation are dangerous and, in my opinion, we need to help people out of them and not cut them off to leave them to fall deeper and deeper into them.

That said, you still must prioritise your health and wellbeing. If your relatives are deeply impacting you, you don’t deserve that and must look after yourself as a priority.
