This is a dangerous attitude. You're blindly trusting everything the LLM says. You will be susceptible to misinformation.

And not all Germans were Nazis in 1939.

I didn't say it was new. I said it is irresponsible.

I'm afraid I'm gonna be the counterexample to your theory. I liked most forms of meat; my favorites were chicken, ground beef, and fish fingers. However, once I discovered plant-based (mostly soy-based) substitutes, I genuinely prefer them. I'm still not fully vegan but I'm no longer buying meat because this stuff is so much better. I also prefer oat milk over cow milk and am kind of annoyed I didn't try it sooner because it's so much better (esp. in hot chocolate).

Anyone else thought the headline (“bloodbath”) was saying there were actual deaths and that this hypersensationalistic reporting is irresponsible?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that you probably haven't even looked for any viable alternatives, because if you had, you would have found they are plentiful already. They're just expensive because of the government subsidizing animal farming, not because they're expensive to produce.

I bought a cheap ring light. I look a lot better on webcam now even when it's dark outside. Don't know yet if I'll be making YouTube videos any time soon, but I'm definitely a step closer now.

Oh boy, this reminds me of this web comic, “Death and the Maiden”. It starts out slow but if you stick with it it's going to reward you. https://deathandmaiden.com/one/index.html

Sorry, why is this posted to upliftingnews that we still have people who can't afford basic necessities and are dependent on charity from rich people?

I applaud your success! I'm curious though: what is it about C# that made it inaccessible compared to Java? The two are extremely similar, so much so that I think you'd have to learn for more than a year before you start noticing any differences.

Valuing human lives is itself an ideology/viewpoint. A great one obviously, and one I fervently agree with, but once you realize this it's easier to understand how other people can put other viewpoints ahead of this one.

True but not relevant to the point being made.
