BK has the impossible whopper at most of their locations, which is an innovation vegans/vegetarians appreciate. McDonald's barely attempted with plant-based options. They even use beef in their fries.

IIRC the person who coined the term said the same thing. It wasn't actually a paradox, it was just meant to illustrate that tolerance is not absolute and so you cannot tolerate people who will not tolerate others themselves.

I just use Stardew Profits

What is boring is very subjective, so there is no authoritative source of truth on it. What one person finds boring another may be obsessed with. But if we are deciding democratically, millions of people choosing to watch something gives a lot of credibility to the idea that it's interesting.

Convincing the allies to be sympathetic to Germany after WWI would be really hard. While the US had Wilson trying to establish cooperation with the League of Nations, he had to compromise with others who wanted more punitive measures. France had long-standing ire with them over Alsace-Lorraine and wanted them permanently crippled, since their shared border made them a looming threat in the future. They also suffered a lot of damage and needed aid themselves. Britain's attitude was kind of in between. Plenty of people guessed the treaty could lead to another war in the future, but many were too angry to really care. So we got stuff like the war guilt clause.

A professor in college told me Hitler went from about the normal amount of racist to turbo racist after having some chemicals leak into his brain near the end of WWI. So Hitler's racism might have been a symptom of actual brain damage. Either way, racism and conspiracies don't tend to come from a rational position so it is very hard to pull someone out of them with reason.

I doubt Israel would exist without Hitler but there would still likely be some conflict in the region. Britain made the Balfour Declaration before WWI had even ended and the collapse of the Ottomans Empire that controlled the region left it unstable and in British control. They would have supported the jewish minority in the region even without the Holocaust available to help them justify creating a new state.

The deluxe barn/coop has an auto-feeder, and there is an item to automatically pet animals every day too. There's also quality of life mods that will give a visual of the area for things like scarecrows and sprinklers that make setting those up much easier. I even had one that will automatically pull relevant fuel from a nearby chest for smelters, kegs, preserves jars, geode processors, etc. I found I enjoyed the later parts of the game a lot more when the "go here to reset the timer" stuff could be automated away.

Thank you, the meme makes more sense now

Unless I missed something, she never claimed to be a democratic socialist. In fact, she explicitly said she wasn't during her campaign.

So don't be their consumer

World hunger, global literacy rates, number of people living in extreme poverty, deaths to malaria, investment in renewable energy, the hole in the ozone, homicide rates, etc.

Things going well just don't get talked about as much.

I enjoy debating things online sometimes. I get satisfaction from laying out my argument for what I think, and often it helps me identify and challenge my own hypocrisies. I don't expect to be able to change the other person's mind, but it has helped me change my own beliefs for the better. And I like to think it can persuade others who hadn't given it much thought before.

Normalize including an argument with hot takes
