Is petrol vegan?

Its almost entirely made from plants

And like, even if it was dinosaurs, Dirt is also (partially) made from decayed animals. And, oversimplifying, that dirt becomes plants.

And that's all fine for vegans, because it doesn't involve exploitation of animals. Like, if you needed to raise and kill animals to use their corpses to grow plants, that'd be animal exploitation.

Jeopardy wall calendar pretending that the coastline paradox doesn't exist

Nah, that's silly. Asia obviously has the longest coastline.

Sure, based on that paradox, the specific measurement of a given coastline will differ. But if you pick a standard (i.e., 1km straight lines), Asia is easily the longest. Doesn't matter what standard you pick.

The only way the paradox matter here is of you pick different standards for different coastlines. Which, os obviously wrong.

Who Stops a "Bad Guy With a Gun"?

I agree with the point this is trying to make, but I don't think it does its job.

Like, the whole argument from the 'good guy with a gun' crowd is about stopping them early. You'd need to cross reference each of these catagories with 'how many people did the mass shooter kill'. And, this would really only be a strong argument vs the 'good guy with a gun' point if the 'shot by bystander' result had no fewer average deaths.

Additionally, it's easy to clap back with 'well, yeah, our society doesn't have enough "good people" trained with guns, that's why it's only 5%!'

Again, I don't agree with those points, it's just that this chart is pretty bad at presenting an argument against them.

While there is undeniably large crossover, I also know a several of ace people, who are all very nerdy.

And like, for me, I mean this with zero judgement, I think kink is gross. People can and should live their lives 'out loud', and I think there is nothing wrong with kink. But also, I'd prefer not to hear about it, or to know specifics

Yeah, I remember lots of drama back in the reddit days around her, in part because redditors couldn't be normal around a woman who has an onlyfans (though, she also couldn't help but feed the trolls, so she's not blameless).

Just hold it in

Yeah. This kinda stuff might help sway some people but for the fascists drafting these bills, this is not a contradiction. The bathroom they want trans people to use is none. They want trans people to not exist.

Damn right

No, it's not. This and other 'rewrites' of phrases to mean the opposite thing (like 'blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb') all have no evidence of being 'the original saying'.

Competition? No. Comrade.

Its cause you really only need one person good at a skill in the party. Once you have one person with high thievery (or, any other skill, really), each addition of another character with that skill is worth less and less.

While, combat focused classes are kind of the opposite. Hard to have too many combat classes in most dnd-likes, and the more classes you have narrowly focused on combat, the better the party is at that task.
