Trebuchets, which btw are far superior to catapults.

Your question was deemed too stupid for No Stupid Questions

Of course you can discuss patriotism even with people who are not patriotic, or who are patriotic for different things. That’s what this whole post is for.

Because they make people want to mate with you

This is the Photoshop tutorial

One of the funniest memories from when I was travelling (around 2017) was many tourists holding up their giant tablet devices, fumbling with them to try take photos of things.

This happens in a lot of countries. For me I noticed it particularly with young people in Germany, and pretty much anyone in Norway.

Can make it slightly frustrating when actively trying to learn the language by speaking with people 😅

As a counter example, I managed to make friends with a Swiss person while elsewhere in Europe, and then later in my travels got to visit them in Switzerland for a few days. My time there was truly one of the most breathtaking and memorable experiences of my trip.

Maybe it’s expensive, maybe Europeans are “cold” personality wise, but God damn they have got some incredible scenery.

If you have sources to back that up, why not go improve the wiki page?

Then I must be missing a lot of projects, because I don’t know of any which use discord for any of these things, besides questions and answers. And even then, only for informal stuff. Anything more serious goes on GitHub (or alternatives) or forums.

Public forums serve a different purpose to a live chat. Actually what I’m seeing a lot in the comments is people making assumptions about what the purpose of the discord server is, and from those assumptions then conclude that it would be easy to use something else. Some assume that they use it for documentation (???), some assume it’s for technical support. But usually what I see, is that these kinds of servers are just an attempt to build a community. And for building a community in the tech space, discord has by far the biggest user base for a chat solution (unless you really think there are more target audience using Facebook messenger, than discord?)

I’m sorry but where is this random assumption that the documentation is on discord coming from?? It is extremely common for projects/organisations to have some kind of community discord, but I have never seen one that used it as their main documentation host. The discord are almost always just community hubs to chat with other community members.

then don’t brag about being 100% FOSS supporter

You are literally doing exactly what the meme was about lol. A discord alternative may simply not be a viable alternative for their needs, if no one is using it.

Fake nails. I have nothing against people who wear them, but for some reason it just instantly makes me think we are not compatible at all.

If it’s the SpongeBob squarepants theme then it’s ok. In fact that’s a bonus.

Isn’t doing things to avoid boredom exactly what a hobby is? :D would you consider hiking to be a hobby?

I’m not trying to make a case for or against veganism, or hunting. My point is that “we are animals and animals sometimes do X” implying that makes it ok, is bad logic. Animals also sometimes eat their young, or murder or rape other creatures of the same species.

Now like I said, I’m not arguing against or for veganism here, I think there are good arguments for both sides, I just don’t think that the “we are animals” argument is one of them :)

I respect your viewpoint, but I wanted to point out that I think the argument of “animals do X, therefore it’s ok” isn’t a really good one, imo. In fact I think one of the features of being human is being able to rise above what other animals do, when we think it is a good idea. (Whether it’s a good idea here though, is another topic)

Calling a group of people condescending, then accusing them of having limited brain function is a little hypocritical doncha think?

I think part of the issue is people tend to conflate “does something immoral/less moral than an alternative” and “is a bad person”.

I think most meat eaters would acknowledge that meat is inherently worse for the environment, and also less moral due to more animal suffering, than not eating meat. Doing so does not make them bad people, just like owning an iPhone doesn’t make someone a bad person, etc. And yet when the topic of "meat is immoral " comes up, people very quickly seem to think it is an accusation of them being a bad person?
