I think Axe Lion and Dual Sword Lion Man could make a fearsome duo when fighting off invaders. Let’s have Dual Shield-bearing Lion join in for a defence buff and Triple Love Heart Lion for charm spells, then we’ll have a complete party against the Two-Headed Eagle.

I’m pretty sure the guardian lion and heraldic lion are in the wrong panels. This is the coat of arms of Norway.

Thanks, I’ll try that when I get back home. Didn’t do any kernel updates, so I was really unsure whether there was anything I did that could have caused such an error.

Had the strangest experience with Fedora this week. Steam was refusing to launch on CachyOS (seems I’m not alone in having that issue), so I decided to install Fedora on a separate drive and set it up there. Everything set up, working beautifully, turn computer to sleep mode and go out for a few hours. Come home, it refuses to wake up properly. Just a black screen. I decide to do a hard reset, then everything just stops working. Nvidia drivers fail, network drivers fail, everything. Even rescue mode fails. I’m puzzled.

I almost felt like I was crushing him a bit myself while reading that. Felt good.

Doesn’t rely on imperialism, but it does rely on capitalism… But that’s also the point. Social democracy is an attempt to reach a point of balance and compromise between the two extremes, and lo and behold; it fucking works. Who would’ve thought? If people can just sit down in a room and talk together like adults, they can actually build a society that benefits the majority.

Ooooh, edgy!

Why do you think social democrats are scum?

But if there was a limit, at least he would be in that position for only one or two terms

No functioning democracy allows their representatives to sit for twelve terms.

It doesn’t come in. Europeans play football.

Real-world unhinged behaviour. I haven’t made a single statement about Hilary Clinton since we started. The only one who seems to be obsessed and dominated by her is you, poor man.

“…oh yeah? Well Hillary bla-bla-bla and Biden bla-bla-bla, how about them apples?”

It’s ridiculous to see the mental gymnastics of the cult members at play. All while we’re still dealing with the aftermath of the two wars George W. Bush started, while he and his friends were placing some heavy investments in Halliburton and Blackwater. And coincidentally, the stock market is making leaps and bounds nowadays. Wonder who have been calling their brokers lately.

In computing and house maintenance I have learned an important thing: the tiniest amount of water in the wrong place can wreak absolute havoc.

Hmm…splashing around holy water in the server room, what could possibly go wrong? 😬

You sound like a person with common sense, that’s exactly what we need. If we draw parallels to people’s approach to religion, I’d say this approach to vegetarianism is like a Scandinavian moderate Protestant. “My belief is my business, and I’ll keep conversations with God in a private channel”. My impression of vegans is better compared to Jehovah’s Witness or a fundamentalist Baptist group. “Because you don’t follow my way of life, there must be something wrong with you”. I eat meat, but not very large amounts. Both because I know it’s not good for my health, and also because I know that overconsumption is bad for the environment. In a regular week, my family has maybe a couple of meat meals (normally with a lot of veggies mixed in, since we mostly cook Asian food), a couple of fish meals and a couple of vegetarian meals. We love cooking curries, so the vegetarian bit is normally pretty easy. I don’t feel that I’m part of a problem by having a lifestyle like this. We enjoy everything in moderation, and years normally pass between the times I sit down with a steak dinner. I definitely think that things would improve a lot if the industrialised, profit-first factory farming would go away, and would like to see smaller local farms be able to provide instead.

This is my boss’ standard comment when he sees my lunch.

I consider vegetarians to follow a lifestyle and vegans to follow an ideology. The reason I have that impression is that in my experience, as you say, vegetarians just want to be left in peace, don’t want to eat meat and generally don’t mind other people’s preferences. My experience with vegans (of which there have been many) is that there has been a clear need to seek conflict, a superiority complex and an evangelist mindset where those poor non-vegan souls need to be shown the way. I have never met a vegetarian or a meat-water who acts in such a manner. I even experienced a house-guest once who in a very overly shocked manner made comments about a photo of a deer I had hung in the guest room. This was an invasion of the deer’s privacy.

Easiest way to spot a vegan is when they constantly tell every single person around them in the loudest, most obnoxious way possible. A ridiculous ideology.
