Can't speak for the author as to their intentions, but that's what I took from it.

I'm not vegan, I'm not trying to speak for others, but it is my takeaway that the point is an animals life is worth less than a digital steak.

The headline is click bait imo but the article makes a somewhat valid point about the larger use of animal products in everything. The article lists paper money in the UK as an example so a vegan is essentially unable to use paper money without conflicting with their ideals.

I would say the point of articles like this is a reasonable way to bring awareness of how ubiquitous animal products are in everyday items.

I think it's a valid topic with a headline written by marketing (and their 696 "partners") and an article written by someone with a point to make.

I could ddg this, but how does the remote access work? Do I need to open ports out of my home to have users watch stuff?

I want to like mastodon but I don't want to do the leg work of finding accounts. I like the algorithm to some extent, I want help to find things.

I also have trouble deciding how to support the post. Liking doesn't do anything and tooting or whatever puts it on my page. I don't feel part of the community boosting topics I like.

I like voting things up and down.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I try and get instantly bored because I have to hunt for everything. I really tried.

It's a commuter backpack, momentum 30. Has a front pocket to fit a bike helmet, I never use it for that but a big stretch pocket on the front is so useful.

Overall, it just always seems to fit everything I'm carrying with me to most places.

I've got a few other smaller travel bags too that I used to store computer accessories and toiletries when I travel.

At the end of the day, everything is just atoms moving at different wiggle rates, that's the technical term. It doesn't matter what makes them wiggle faster or slower.

My Garmin Fenix watch, it was during the first month of wearing it that I realized my life and fitness can be like a video game and I get badges and points for doing things. It drives me to move and even after 4 years, it still is making me motivated.

A nice wallet, I looked for a long time and ended up with a Trayvax wallet. I just love the damn thing, it'll last me forever and it's unique and functional. Each time I pull it out of my pocket, I appreciate it's look and feel and form.

My osprey back pack. I've carried it to and from work, on boats, kayaks, walking, for camping and to my friends houses. It is just so functional and comfortable in a way that a less expensive one isn't. It's made to be comfortable AND hold things.

This is the exact type of handwriting I would assume they had.

Written inconsistently around an envelope with spelling errors, no thought to the length of what they are writing, and random capitalization.

Spot on.
