I for one am 100% in favor of forever adding "who halved the value of Twitter" after every mention of Elmos name lol

Alright bud, I took the 0.5 sec to pull this from the Google search for you

https://www.google.com/amp/s/news.yahoo.com/amphtml/nick-fuentes-admits-dream-wife-020000948.html

I'm sure you'll find some reason to ignore that source too though, despite the fact that it tells you that exactly where to find the interview where he says it and provides direct quotes about it

because they chimed in an unloaded all their bullshit hatred on me for no valid reason

Really take a step back, reread your initial comment, and tell us honestly that what you're describing doesn't sound exactly like what you just did lol

Bruh, just look at his username - if you're hoping he'll argue in good faith, you're in for a rough time..

No, nor can you print the battery, motors, flight computer, trans receiver or basically anything other than the frame.

I love my 3d printer, but honestly when people talk about 3d printed weapons I always cringe, 3d printers can't make weapons (well, I guess you could make a plastic rondel dagger or something, doubt it'd work well though), they make plastic. When people talk about 3d printed guns, I don't think that most people realize that the only 3d printed parts are usually the exterior frame of the gun, the parts that make it an actual gun are still made from metal and purchased.

Edit: and before anyone says it, yes you can 3d print metal, but not with anything you're going to find in someone's house - for the cost of an SLS metal printer, you could buy all the usual metal working equipment to just make a gun the old fashioned way

As evidenced most plainly by Elon, who claims to work 16 hour days, while tweeting 100 times a day lol

I'm not Vegan, so I can't speak for them, but here's my understanding

if you live in an urban environment, it's basically impossible to get what you're referring to. Maybe if you were willing to have it shipped to you at great cost and not insignificant effort, but the only thing available at stores in the US is the BS marketed "free range" stuff. And even if you find a place that claims to be the real deal, how do you verify? Basically, it's easier for most people to just go Vegan then to seriously vet every source of animal products

Additionally, many vegans believe it to be a genuinely healthier diet than an omnivore diet. And please don't respond with " we evolved to be meat eaters" or something like that, because we didn't "evolve" to do practically any of the things modern life entails, including a lot of what we eat. Beyond that one BS counterargument though, I make no claims as to whether they're right. Anecdotally, my sister in law suffered from IBS her whole life until she went Vegan, when the problem went away entirely. So it certainly has benefit for some people

Finally, for a lot of vegans it's an issue of consent - some might say that you shouldn't eat those eggs in your example for the simple reason that they don't belong to you, and you can't morally take them, because theres no way to ask consent, and so you shouldn't. Again, you don't have to agree with the outlook, but that's the way several vegans have explained it to me.

If any actual vegans come along and think I'm misrepresenting something, feel free to correct it

Or just don't wear heels, and when some opponent or interviewer makes some comment about your height, just dig into them like "really? We're discussing the future of our country and you're focused on my height? I'm here to focus on the real issues, not petty shit". Boom, you'd come across way more confident and manly than any amount of height could give you.

Ofc, his base is exactly the sort who is petty enough to care about height, so maybe that approach would only work for a dem candidate lol

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if people like that find companies with similar cultures and just all stay there so they can be shitty together

Ooo that's a nice feature lol - how's kbin these days? I checked it out at the beginning but went with Lemmy - have they added hashtag following to the microblogging portion? And is there a good app?

At the time I made the comment, it was literally just those downvote and not one up vote(except the one by the OP), hence my comment

Its actually an interesting phenomenon I've noticed on reddit and now lemmy - if someone is getting down voted for something dumb like violating the circle jerk, if a child comment points it out, the downvote stop instantly and it starts being up voted 🤷🏼‍♂️

I'm pretty sure the whole "iPhone as a status symbol" thing is a thing of the past - I literally can't remember anytime in the last 5 years that anyone expressed envy at someone owning a iphone.

I'd argue that yearly upgrades regardless of phone brand are more of the status symbol now
