    “Dad Jokes” are a specific kind of joke, which typically make people groan, because they’re so terrible. See [email protected], for example.

    But his sentence could also mean that he tells jokes to his dad. She notices that and asks about it, therefore making a Dad Joke herself.
    He doesn’t get the Dad Joke, which exposes him as perhaps not being very good at the whole Dad Joke thing.

    According to the screenshot I took, it was a gargoyle berserker with an axe. I had some ridiculous luck with armor drops, so basically every resistance was either maxxed or close to it. I only really got into trouble down in Zot:5…

    And hmm, I should do more with Lugonu. I never really have a reason to pick him, but that means I also don’t experiment with him, so I won’t really learn what reasons there are to pick the guy…

    You’ve interpreted very different goal posts into my comment than I intended. My comment was deliberately unspecific, because I’m well aware that we all live in different situations. I can buy vegan meatballs in the shop, which taste like the real thing, but if I lived in a more rural region or in a different country, I might not be able to.

    But what’s essentially universal to the human experience is that there’s some decent vegan protein source, which folks could be eating more of, if they wanted to. So, I’m not talking about switching over wholesale here. I’m saying most people could be eating more nuts, peas, beans, lentils, hummus, tofu, vegan meatballs, whatever. You’re gonna find something.

    Lots of folks don’t even engage with that option, though. Either they’re too lazy to learn something new, or they’re psychopaths who don’t care about morals in the first place, or they’re caught up in identity politics of “I need to be strong, because I’m suffering from toxic masculinity, and to be strong, I need to be eating meat”. And particularly in the last case, they often associate meat and manliness with their food having bled out.

    As such, in terms of actual morality, lab-grown meat will

    • maybe catch a few of the lazy folks, because they really don’t have to exert even the slightest thought anymore, whether it’s equivalent to what they usually eat,
    • not get through to the psychopaths, because those never care about morals, and
    • have a hard time with the toxic masculinity crowd. Maybe some of them will be rational enough that it’s the same thing in the end, and so even though they’re irrational in their belief that they need it for manliness, they might still accept it. But especially if the lab-grown meat isn’t immediately perfect, I expect there to be persistent pushback, that it’s not the real deal and whatever. The meat industry will gladly spread propaganda to reinforce that.




  • I recently figured out that wheat/gluten FUBARs my health, so even just the concept of cereal grains has recently exploded in complexity in my head.

    Before, I was eating:

    • wheat (incl. durum, spelt, rye, and rarely barley, emmer)
    • oats
    • rice

    Now I newly eat:

    • buckwheat
    • millet
    • quinoa (in like three different colors)
    • amaranth
    • whole-grain rice is apparently pretty cool
    • maize/corn (in the form of polenta and tortilla)


  • Various countries limit painkillers to small packet sizes (e.g. 20 pills here in Germany) and pharmacies only hand them out one at a time, so you can’t overdose as easily/spontaneously, either like the person in the post did due to pain, or for suicidal purposes.
    It’s not perfect protection, as you can just go to multiple pharmacies to buy multiple packets, but yeah, you will have to actually go do that and will get told at the pharmacy that you shouldn’t take more, if you’re not aware.

    Yeah, I once saw the Uno Reverse card of this, where some horrid, conservative Indian media outlet was saying some shit like the EU is holding some bad position. And the guy, who had posted that article, would not even engage in discussion that this was a massive point of contention, where neither France and Germany, nor me and my neighbor agreed. It just felt like shit. Don’t drag me into what the assholes are doing, please.
