Imagine criticising someone for using a word despite it having been in the vernacular for years.

Thank you for pointing out that this is only an issue for places where wild cats have been non-native.

It’s a shame that this needs to be a “hot take”, I was hoping we’d be leaving that shit behind on Reddit.

If I can’t vote until I’m 25 then I don’t want to be paying tax until I’m 25.

No taxation without representation.

If we’re talking about Lemmy rather than wider society then;

Inb4; I’m broadly in support of trans people and trans rights/equality but I think there are three small snagging issues

That people who identify as a women but who went through puberty as a male shouldn’t be competing in women’s sports. I think it’s a basic issue of fairness and that it ultimately disincentives people born female from entering a career in sports competitions.

That there is a serious debate to be had about trans people in women’s changing rooms. I know it is a very nuanced and sensitive topic and I don’t pretend that I have the answer, but I don’t think it is as simple as “I identify as X so I’ll use X changing room”. I’d like to make it clear that I don’t think this is a “sneaky perv” issue but rather a debate about spaces that should possibly be reserved for people born as female.

That no permanent changes should be made to the bodies of children. If you’re not old enough to get a tattoo, piercing, drink, smoke etc. Then you’re not old enough to make an extremely important decision that will effect you for the rest of your life.

I’ve had great and terrible gins. I remember a bottle called St James from France which was so bad that it’s one of the few bottles of alcohol in my life that I ended up pouring down the sink, I couldn’t get it to taste good regardless of what I tried mixing it with.

Same, although I tolerate a mushroom here or there now, I never select them to eat by my own choice.

I was in a cafe recently and the table next to me ordered mushroom soup, the smell nearly made me sick, I was pretty hungover that day though!

Yep, any fleas about the house will jump on to the cat and then die.

No need to decontaminate the entire house, just make sure that fleas can’t make a home on your cat.

I’ve tried bovril but I don’t like it as much, it also has more salt.

Real

I know this answer isn’t tea or coffee, I don’t like coffee and I gave tea up because it was staining my teeth.

I was on herbal teas for a while but I then had the idea of drinking a weak beef stock (1 stock cube to 1.2 litres of water) and I love it so much I can’t go back!

I thought I’d miss that caffeine but it was very easy to give up and I really don’t miss it at all!

Thanks

Even it was AVNJ, you shouldn’t let some random strangers on the internet ruin things you like. Every one has a skeleton in the closet but if you like the videos, watch them.

What’s syncthing?

Why is AI bad?

I mean it’s not perfect, but it’s only going to get better.

I think despite the downsides of the internet that it’s clearly overwhelming good for society.

The amount of landys I’ve seen off the road in snowy/icy conditions is hilarious.

I’d guess it’s a combination of them not being as good as their reputation and the false sense of security that they give the drivers.

I thought you were talking about disposable vapes, if not, apologies.

Buy a reusable one

Still waiting for this to return to the UK and I’m absolutely furious that it wasn’t so popular that it became a standard menu item.
