I honestly can't think of a thing I'd want to backup. Game saves, resumes, media. Its all replaceable and not worth backing up. I dont think I have a single "important" document or picture or anything.

Americans who say they drink alcohol remains at record low, survey finds

Reply in thread

If you had to pick either healthy or unhealthy, a drink a day would fall under unhealthy, but it also might be statistically irrelevant due to having such a small impact.

I do think its worth noting that alcohol does actually change its effects the more you drink though. The effects of intoxication don't just increase, they cascade to other parts of the brain. Someone who consistently stays under one drink is essentially on a different drug than someone who draws the line at three.

Puppy mills exist. Oddly haven't heard of cat mills but could be a thing I guess.

In order to provide fish for people to eat, there's a thing called bycatch, which is catching things you don't intend to catch. If there's a cute underwater animal you like, chances are we murder many of them as bycatch.

What else is there, let's see. Male egg laying chickens are born and then immediately blended alive, that's so we can have eggs on our shelves at the price they are. Dairy cows aren't immediately killed but have horrible short lives and are then killed for lack of milk production. That meat is poor quality so we feed it to our pets.

This doesn't sound like a new thing to me, just more of the same cruelty for profits sake.

Its still somewhat toxic at champ and up, even in casual. Usually by that rank everyone knows how to mute someone though, so its extremely easy to shut idiots up without having to turn chat off entirely.
