Please leave some internet for the rest of us!

Isn’t that the fork’s ring finger? Maybe it’s demanding jewelry for compensation.

Don’t underestimate the mid and long term effect of small changes. If there’s vegan options in supermarkets, restaurants and at festivities, then it’s much easier to be a vegan. The lower the hurdle, the less restricted people feel in their everyday life, the more people will adapt. So that one restaurant owner who doesn’t change his own diet, might still foster the journey of other new vegetarians and vegans.

Yeah, makes sense in the end even though it’s hard to grasp for me. Especially if the object on top is freely rolling and therefore feels somewhat decoupled to me. I imagined the train below the bike to behave like a tablecloth pulled from underneath a glass and where the glass keeps in the same place thanks to inertia.

But coming back to my initial statement, if the train’s movement doesn’t impact the point of landing, does it increase the difficulty for the stunts? Or is it more for the nice effect in the video?

Oh, is it? I thought that’s just applicable in an enclosed space. So if I jump on top of a moving something, I should still land in the same spot?

I didn’t say they’re easy. I’m not a biker but from my outsider perspective - timing aside - this didn’t look harder than doing the same performance on the ground. If I’m wrong, please enlighten me, I’m willing to learn.

So it’s for sure a great achievement to master the timings etc. but aren’t the jumps rather easier than harder compared to a non-moving track? I mean, you have to jump ‘only’ upwards and don’t have to use any of your momentum on distance. Or do I oversee something?

I think normally they are made with mesh not transparent hard plastics. If you can speak of normal at all when it comes to cat backpacks. :D

Preparing that yourself or are there places where you can buy pickled watermelon?

Fruity beer is also common in Belgium. It’s not mixed with juice but is already flavored in the bottle as you buy it. And yes, it’s delicious. Kriek for instance is a pretty famous cherry flavored beer.

Also non-alcaholic beer mixed with juice is a pretty decent drink after sports. The slight bitterness and the bubbles makes it really refreshing on hot days.

You clearly have different ideas about the direction the community should go.

I’m reading and commenting in this community for more than a year (had a different user before this one) and there was a dramatic shift of this community in the last couple of days. And from my perspective, in the completely wrong direction. It felt like the place I liked before was burnt down violently.

This thread exactly hit the nerve for me and I think it was written in a respectful way. No one said ‘fuck off crazy mod’ but rather ‘we welcome you to stay as a member but we feel you shouldn’t have the extra privileges of a moderator anymore’.

in the direction you want this community to be moving in

Of course, I can only speak for myself but if the community would have continued in the way it did over the last week I probably would have left and blocked it. I don’t want to have a community with passive aggressive content in my feed and I don’t want to spend time on answering comments if I have to fear them being deleted slightly after.

Us vegans are a part of society and a pretty small part to be honest. As such, we shouldn’t build up a walled garden of moral superiosity, pointing fingers at these ‘stupid, evil carnists’. I already hate these terms. If you want to change the world for the better, don’t think of ‘them’ as the enemy but potential future allys. Especially, If non-vegans are motivated to read and engage in this community respectfully, then that’s a success already.

Even if they’re not going veggie or vegan themselves, they might at least get some positive insights on veganism. That vegans aren’t just freaks but just normal people that eat plants and you can still talk to them and be friends with.

Maybe they own a restaurant IRL and after reading here for some time in /all, they add a vegan option to their menu. Maybe they’re a team lead in IT and thanks to this community, they’ll check with their employees if someone wants a vegan option on the christmas party.

If you ban the ‘evil carnist’ and post insulting memes, you will neither hurt them nor change anything for the better.

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.

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.
