Reply to comment by voxpoplar in The way graphene OS constantly accuses people and organizations of "attacking" them makes me suspicious of them by flabberghaster

I think that's right. I use the OS myself and I once went in to their matrix chat to ask for help on something because the way notifications worked had changed (I wanted to mute some notifs and not others and couldn't figure it out).

Immediately the main developer replied telling me I was doing it wrong, the way notifications worked in the OS was right and working as intended, and I was wrong and didn't get it. And I was like what the hell man. I came in here saying "I don't understand this, can someone please help me figure out how to use it?" And I was still accused of being a dumbass who didn't get it.

I don't find them credible either, I just find the way they go sicko mode on everyone all the time weird and feels like what you'd do to put up a smokescreen.

I don't think they're doing that necessarily, I think thestinger just has Mental Health, like a lot of us do. But seriously it's an awful way to present the project.

Reply to comment by cowloom in I should go back to being vegetarian again by flabberghaster

The first time, I tried to just go vegetarian all at once and it didn't take, because it felt like such a big change to make all at once. I found much better success by saying "this week, I am going to give up pork for good." Then when that felt easy I went on to "this week I will give up beef for good." And so on until I was down to chicken being the only meat I'd eat anymore. I found by tapering it like that, it didn't feel like such a radical change and it was easier for me to sustain it.

I feel that cutting out dairy is going to be much harder for me than cutting out meat has historically been. One day I might be able to go vegan but I need to work my way there or I won't be able to stick to it.

Reply to do we really need dire wolves right now by victoria

The thing with creating clones of extinct species (which is not what they did) is that those species went extinct for reasons.

If we cut down all the forests and the birds who depend on the trees die off as a result, and then create clones of those birds, they'll just die off again unless we put the forests back, which we are not doing.

If all the bugs die because the earth is now too hot for them to survive, and we create clones of them, the clones will all just die again.

This is a gimmick but ultimately it's "feeding cats to the coyotes."
