What fallout character looks like Harry Potter?

[–] Artaca@lemdro.id 34 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Sorry, thanks. Why does that fallout character look like Harry Daniel?

[–] Gorillazrule@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No no, the character looks like Daniel Potter.

[–] gedfromgont@piefed.ca 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Reminds me of Daniel Harry though.

[–] egrets@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

People always get Daniel Harry and Elijah Potter mixed up.

Non-vegan playing devil's advocate, here; I've always hated that argument: Yes the chicken is already dead, but by purchasing the product, you're paving the way for more chickens to be killed to replace the one(s) you ate. Supply and demand. We need to come up with a better counter-argument.

Personally I'm not ready to stop eating meat, and probably never will be. I'm counting on lab-grown meat to come down in price enough to be produced en mssse within the next 10-15 years, and then I can enjoy all I want, 100% guilt-free. I will be among the first to buy it when it hits the supermarket.

That makes sense when you are in the store and still buying them.

It doesn't make sense when they are already in the oven being heated and have been paid for some time ago.

Vegans: Why does no one like us?

Also Vegans: (Always "on" and going out of their way to insert themselves into situations so they can act exactly like that).

Yes I know not all vegans are like that but I also never see them telling the militant ones to STFU and stop making them al look bad.

Do you expect vegans to mind control other vegans or something? Militant people are usually not the ones who listen when you ask them to shut up.

[–] VaalaVasaVarde@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Isn't mind control a perk you can select on a vegan Fallout run?

"Militant" is being kind. "Belligerent" is closer to the experience.

[–] sepiroth154@feddit.nl 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And belligerent types are even less likely to listen when you ask them to stop. That's exactly my point.

It's as annoying as someone bragging about big ol' raw steaks and ribs and such, like they have been doing in the Texas political stuff lately. Both as a smear ("look at this pussy non-Texan!") and a defense ("I do love ribs, I really do!") and it all comes across the same way to me.

Truthfully, neither types of statements personally bother me, but given everything we know about the climate, economics, etc., the vegans are better and easier to defend.

[–] starelfsc2@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 months ago (3 children)

If you think something is a moral emergency, you're going to be more hysterical about it. It's like saying "democrats need to stop being so militant about climate change and tell others who are to stop." You can drive a hummer and fly a private jet everywhere as a lifestyle choice, but people can and should call you out for it.

I don't buy meat, but I'll eat it if it's given to me. It's a treat to me, and I savour it when it happens. The downside is that vegetarians, vegans, and meat eaters all hate me 😂

Regular vegetarians have tried to tell them to tone it down, it just makes them more radical.

…What chicken nuggies take 20 minutes to cook?

[–] calliope@retrolemmy.com 35 points 2 months ago (1 children)

A lot of them do in the oven. They’re way better that way.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 34 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think an air fryer has distorted my perception of cooking times, heh.

The good thick ones, if you like them crispy.

[–] valar@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago (13 children)

What, are you microwaving them?

to make them delicious, yes.
Also maybe you need less time if you're only making 4 in an air fryer, but us sane people make 8.
