I essentially fall under lawful neutral but I'm not so sure the maker of this graphic would agree if they found out the monitor's height isn't adjustable so it's standing on the package of a dumbbell set (two weights I never use and the instructions should still be in there). The laptop is placed on an incomplete ikea bathroom mirror cabinet shelf add-on that I basically used once and realized I didn't actually need it so it's been in misuse ever since I bought it basically. The bathroom shelf is only half as deep as the laptop so I've added a pad of mixed media art paper on top of it/below the laptop for stability.

Agreed, but the Ras El Hanout flavor one is edible and tasty if you're not expecting it to taste like hummus.

Lidl is better for almost anything. I used to be a hardcore Aldi (Nord) loyalist until Lidl started having a very good vegan selection and better hummus. A couple years ago I probably could've named something I miss from Aldi, but at the moment I genuinely can't think of anything except that I remember their selection of local-cuisine-themed sweets to have a slightly better selection. When they had a Spanish week some months ago they had Almendrados, which is something I've never seen a Lidl carry.

But I think this highly depends on where you shop and what you need/are expecting a discounter to carry.

Wow, this is possibly the most stereotypically lemmy post ("lemmy users either like Star Trek, Linux or both") I've seen in a while.

I assume the person is looking primarily for something in regards to ftm but for mtf I really like Miranda - Frank Turner (the lyrics make more sense in the context of the whole album though)

Which ads would feature the common, uncommon and rare Shatner if that one is already legendary?

Yeah in theory that's a 50h game, but I can turn any game with a nonlinear plot into a 500h game, give me a side quest I love, a mini game or an open world that's interesting enough and I'll never finish the main quest.

Unlike some I'm not here to insult other people :)
Yeah you have a point there and I totally get how my comment was a bit shortsighted on that end, but I was just weirded out by the fact that a CEO's political position is supposed to be indicative of the future actions/positions of a company. Sure it's not entirely unlikely that it might affect the company in the future, but OPs post just felt a little like fearmongering to me.

Yeah you're right, I hadn't considered that because I never paid a single cent for anything Proton, that's a mistake on my part. Sometimes I forget capitalism is still a thing.

A comparison of singing the praises for a modern proto-fascist movement with "secretly loving Windows" is... certainly something.

If that's the takeaway you had from reading both of my comments then I honestly can't help you, but I can try to spell out my intent a second time:
I deliberately chose Linus Torvalds because he's basically Jesus of Lemmy but I didn't expect to be called a fascist over a dumb analogy I used to show that OP might be overextrapolating a CEO's standpoint onto a whole company. I agree that there is a not insignificant risk of this affecting the company, don't get me wrong, but this post just feels like fearmongering.

I agree that my analogy is fucked up and a little stupid, but I was just applying OPs logic: Andy Yen doesn't do any more for Proton than Linus Torvalds does for Linux; they're just stand in figures that people project their love or in this case hate onto. I doubt he personally wrote a single line of code for Proton. In that case Linus Torvalds is actually way more involved with Linux than Andy Yen is with Proton; Andy Yen might have more power over Proton but afaik and like you said Proton is owned in majority by its foundation, which I hope does get a say in what they do.
