I think that’s an adequate reaction. Thank you for taking action and being transparant about it.

As a member of this community for quite some time, the past couple of days felt really weird to me. Instead of peaceful and (from my perspective) valuable communication between vegans and non-vegans, the mood changed to a radical, almost war-like athmosphere. I was not among those being banned but I had several discussions where suddenly loads of other, completely normal posts were deleted.

I think this community should be open for other opinions. Everyone who’d like to engage in a respectful way - vegan or not - should be welcomed. I think the target should be to have a ‘pro-vegan community’ and not a ‘hardline anti everything that is even remotely non-vegan’.

I guess that’s also the reason then, why mussels, fish etc. are considered sea fruit in many languages: Frutti di Mare, Meeresfrüchte, fruit de mer […]

As sudo applies only for a single command, removing the cover is more like su, no?

sudo would be more if above every covered button there was a tiny hole through which you could push it with a needle or so.

I have ‘night mode’ and ‘extra dark’ in my quick settings right below the slider. If I can get rid of one or both with an updated slider that’d be a great improvement. Never understood why smartphones are so super bright by default.

But it would take a long time to open each packet and spray it on the fire.

1. Lay the Capri Suns in the ground next to the fire
2. Get another semi truck
3. Drive over the packets to squish out the liquid onto the fire
4. If the additional semi truck catches fire as well, repeat from step 1

And do people also buy these non-alcaholic versions then or are they barely available in stores? If they really offer the alternative and at least some people switch to them, I’d still consider it a win.

I always struggle with Happy Cow and its filter options. You can either filter for ‘vegan sites’ or ‘vegetarian options’ but not ‘vegan options’.

Option 1 will only show restaurants and cafés that are fully vegan, so this will bring the list down to almost nothing in most smaller or medium-sized cities.

Option 2 shows all restaurants that serve also vegetarian food but not necessarily vegan options. So this leaves me with a huge list.

I’d like filters like ‘has at least two vegan options declared in the menu’ or ‘offers vegan options on request’.

In France it’s quite common to find all kinds of fish in the vegetarian section of the menu. I didn’t see it classified as vegan yet though.

Does anyone know how they define junk food in that guideline? Is it based on calories / fat / sugar? Or do they have a specific list of products that are now forbidden in ads? Or a list of companies? Does the ban include product placements (like a kids movie where a family goes to McD? What about ‘normal’ content about fast food (like SpongeBob making krabby burgers)?

I really appreciate the law but I think it can be quite challenging to draw the line between legal and illegal.

I vividly remember pushing my parents to go McDonald’s after I saw an advertisement with the newest Happy Meal toys. I wanted the toy in the first place, the food tasted good as a kid but even then not amazing. I think ads do have a huge influence on which toys and which food kids ask for.

I always and exclusively vote based on people’s hats. Thank god I’m not living in 'murica! :}

I see where you’re coming from. For me ‘completely normal person’ implied that the comic refers to normal consumers and not a tiny minority. If it’s targeted at slaughterhouse employees that enjoy killing animals then we’re talking about a) a really small part of society and b) noone that would be considered a considered a normal person by the mainstream.

I’m completely on board with you that most and especially the bigger, industrialized slaughterhouses are horrible places. But I think also the majority of non-vegans agrees on that. And I also don’t think that every employee working there is inherently an evil person. At least in Germany these jobs are paid extremely poor and as very few locals are willing to do that work, the industry exploits workers from Eastern Europe who desparately need the money to support their families. I doubt that these people enjoy what they do. And out of the few psychopathts who do, there’s for sure a decent share that turned sick because of their violent job.

I think we agree that veganism is not the only aspect of morally superior behavior.

And I’m 100% sure that we can reach more people by including rather than shaming them. Bring vegan cake or cook for your coworkers. Show them that there’s more than just bread and water. Invite them to a vegan restaurant. If someone tells you that they’re trying to reduce meat in their diet, praise them for their efforts rather than reminding them that they’re still causing harm drinking milk.

Positive affirmation is such a powerful tool whereas blaming is mostly divisive and increasing defensive behavior.

Ever bought literally ANYTHING that is made in China, Bangladesh, India etc.? Oh what a monster of human being you are as you are clearly supporting child labor, slavery, horrible working conditions and destroying the environment with harmful chemistries!

Ever drove a car? Down to hell with you and the fossil fuel that’s running through your veins!

Eating vegetables or fruit? Maybe even from non-ecological agriculture? So you obviously enjoy deforestation of the rain forest and poisoning all these innocent insects and birds!

I could continue that list like forever but I think you know where I’m going.

I think it was a sweet moment there and made Biden appear as a friendly and self-ironic guy. I doubt the Trump campaign can leverage this photo as they are sharing AI stuff all day and compared to all these fakes, Biden wearing a Trump hat is pretty lame. :D

I doubt that you find a lot of people that enjoy killing pigs as implied by the smiling guy your comic. I think nowadays almost no one ever killed an animal or saw one being killed in real life. Most people just buy meat from the butcher or supermarket and try to ignore where it’s coming from.

If we want veganism to grow, I don’t think it’s helpful to discredit those you’d like to change as fundamentally evil people. If ‘we’ don’t want to be seem as the annoying, extremist vegans, we shouldn’t declare ‘them’ as heartless, evil murderers.

Finde 17% auch schon ziemlich gut. Und wenn man das der Einfachheit halber mal als 1 Tag pro Woche nimmt, wären es immerhin 20% weniger Hin- und Her-Pendelei zwischen Wohn- und Arbeitsort. Entlastet die Infrastruktur und schont die Umwelt.

Ich finde Home Office ne super Sache, nur noch nicht so richtig sozial gerecht bislang. Wenn der Kapitalismus funktionieren würde, könnte man ja hoffen, dass Jobs ohne Home Office Möglichkeit dann immer schwerer Leute finden und - um die offenen Stellen attraktiver zu machen - entsprechend höhere Gehälter gezahlt würden als Ausgleich. Aber leider ist auch das wieder eher ein Benefit für die eh schon höher angesiedelten Jobs…

Bei meinem iPhone von der Arbeit hab ich die Meldung genauso schnell versehentlich weggeklickt wie bei meinem privaten Android. Kann nicht mehr genau sagen, was ich in dem Moment gemacht habe aber auch unter iOS finde ich die Implementierung nicht gelungen.

Noch tiefer in den Einstellungen hätte man die Option aber echt nicht vergraben können. Schade, dass nicht wie bei Katwarn eine Push Notification erstellt wird, die man explizit wegwischen muss. Mir ging es genauso wie dir heute und glaube nicht, dass ich dieses Log im Ernstfall gefunden hätte.
