Likewise, anyone saying something about "omnivores"/"carnivores" etc can only go off of who opened their mouths to them.

Again, my point is just as valid as the person saying they've encountered many more non-vegetarians trying to convert people. They don't know how many, who did not bother to share their thoughts with them, they met. By your own words.

If you think it's bullshit, well you said it, not me. I'm not arguing against that. I'm saying that the comment I first replied to is bullshit too, if that's what you want to call it.

I'm not making any judgement on vegetarianism, veganism, or anybody's dietary requirements or choices.

I'm saying that the entirety of "well I've never seen it", "well I have!" is fruitless clashing of anecdotes. It's slightly more wordy "nuh-uh!" "yeah-huh!" except people get reinforcement on whatever they already believed.

And I find it hilarious and somewhat unbelievable that anyone over the age of 21 hasn't met a single vegan that tried to convert people, not even one, but has met multiple non-vegans spamming pictures of meat at vegans to... try and convert them. Are you kidding me? Who the fuck does something like that, it reads like an "and then everybody clapped" story. How the fuck did that get so many upvotes?

My entire point is that I see these sorts of "well I've never encountered a proselytizing [insert group here] person, so that means these stereotypes are just mean and based on nothing!" but all it takes is one person to say "Well I have".

Beyond that, my anecdotes are as valid as theirs. Which is to say not worth much at all.

I want to be the first, but I am definitely closer to the second. I'm trying to find a reasonable middle ground.

Like, I want to have a nice home network with a proper NAS, Pihole DNS, Plex/Emby/Jellyfin media server, all my music properly tagged, little mediaplayer/emulation/game streaming endpoint boxes on each TV, etc. But I don't have the time or money to do it right at the moment.

So I have my desktop set up to share out my media folders as SMB shares when it's powered on, and I've used a few tools to get my video content organized right for Kodi. I've got Kodi installed as an app on the Xbox Series X plugged into the family room TV. The other TV has a Chromecast dongle with VLC sideloaded and set up to connect to the SMB shares, because I'm too lazy to get my Kodi setup on it. Every room in the house has an ethernet port, and most rooms have a dumb switch so as much hardware can have ethernet connection as possible. I've run my music collection through MusicBrainz Picard, and separated it into a properly tagged and organized folder, and one for stuff that isn't.

Doesn't iTunes let you pay like $0.30 more for the non-drmed file for most music still, or did they kill that in the last decade?

To be honest, I buy CDs where possible, Bandcamp where I can, and shamelessly pirate the rest.

If I recall right, the only exlusive weapon was the Flamethrower, but they also added the missile Warthog. Might be forgetting some other weapons though, as I never had the Xbox version.

I had some fun when I was younger modding the demo. The only content stripped out of it were the levels, so there were all these custom versions of the Blood Gulch map floating around with Ghosts and Scorpion tanks, etc.

I liked messing with weapon properties. Had my own temu/wish.com "cursed halo at home" long before it was a real thing.

• Sniper rifle fired plasma grenades, and you could do fun stuff like stacking two so the first would throw the second into the air and the trail and explosion made it like a flare.
• Shotgun fired a spread of frag grenades instead of bullets, and pushed you backwards a bit.
• Pistol was more accurate, slightly faster, much less damage, and pushed whoever got hit back a ton. You could easily juggle someone up into the skybox with it. It pushed vehicles too.
• Rocket launcher fired a massive ball of rockets that would lag everything.
• Flamethrower fired rockets instead of flames, with a much higher ammo pool, but no other changes. So rocket sprinkler.
• Fully charged plasma pistol fired a Scorpion Tank shot. I think the non charged ones homed in to a stupid extent.
• Chaingun Warthog fired needler rounds with an increased lifetime.
• Assault rifle worked as area denial, setting an area in an orb shape around you on fire.
• The plasma cannon thing would spawn a Scorpion tank over your head, crushing you.
• I think I turned the needler into a shotgun blast thing, but it still fired needles.
• I think I changed the elites' plasma smg thing to start firing slowly but "rev up" to stupid fast speeds, and then the cooldown hurt your shields?
• There was something that would call down a larger version of the plasma cannon projectile from the sky, with a larger explosion radius and a stupid big/strong pushback effect.
• Vehicle crashes called the same kind of system as a projectile hitting, so you were effectively "shot" with a vehicle impact "bullet" as a rider if you crashed too hard. Congrats that's now a frag grenade explosion. That one was shamelessly stolen from a tutorial.

That's what I remember at least.

Good old Trainwiz. Pretty sure the mad bastard used to frequent 4chan's Elder Scrolls modding threads, so I'm kind of impressed at the restraint of his response.

Give them BBB support you coward!

The full list really isn't as bad as I expected.

BBC is up there, apnews, the guardian.

As another comment has said, NPR is audio content, and nearly all of their podcasts are available through podcast apps directly. And PBS isn't a news site, so of course it doesn't show up.

Also worth remembering that CNN was pretty widely considered to be balanced until around a decade ago. I'm sure there's a bunch of older people still operating from that.

The price has crept up with the paid expansions, but holy shit do NOT sleep on the Castlevania one. It doubles the base game content, and fits in great.

lemmynsfw.com is what it says on the tin. Boatload of nsfw communities.

Also, a lot of nsfw sites have forums bolted on if you're really into that sort of thing.

Looks like it's Wikipedia's current fundraising banner thing, since I couldn't figure out what OP meant. Ad blockers for a win.
