I think that speaks to OP’s point: instead of thinking in terms of trying to replicate the meat dish without meat, think in terms of making a vegetable dish that satisfies the same mood.
It’s less surprising when you realize that stuff that processed almost might as well have been constructed from raw hydrocarbons. It’s like some NileRed “turning paint thinner into cherry soda”-level shit.
Nowadays the risk really is compounded, though: not by any of the actual dangers being worse, but instead by adding the new risk of busybodies calling CPS to report you for “neglect” for anything short of extreme helicopter-parenting.
I’d say the one thing they’ve been decent at is input devices, oddly enough. I was pretty happy with my SideWinder 3D Pro joystick and my Intellimouse Explorer back in the day. I also still (very occasionally) use an Xbox 360 controller attached to my Linux PC.
No credit for Xboxes themselves, let alone other hardware like Zunes and Windows Phones and shit, of course.
I will never understand why people liked Windows XP, I’d rather use Gentoo Linux from 2002 compiled from a stage 1 tarball than this steaming pile of shit.
It was necessary for games. (Source: I dual-booted Windows XP and Gentoo Linux in 2002.)
What kind of sadistic fucking moron do you have to be to prefer that the government spend more money persecuting and incarcerating the homeless than it would on treating and housing them?
Hey, I had a great PC when I was a kid! Top of the line, no expense spared. Heck, my parents even bought a fancy solid-wood roll-top desk for it.
…and boy were they pissed when I asked for a new one a couple years later, and they found out that obsolescence was a thing! From then on it was bargain-basement PCs until I was old enough to build my own, LOL.
(Only one of those subsequent computers ever fit properly in that roll-top desk, by the way. That thing was designed to hold a desktop-desktop (i.e., flat, not tower), fairly small CRT monitor, and a dot-matrix printer.)
Moderating a subreddit is a choice, not a personal characteristic. Attempting to dilute the meaning of the word by pretending that criticism of moderators is “bigotry” is itself abusive reactionary rhetoric.
To be fair, I initially wanted to comment about how clever you were because even most Americans would forget about the Ozarks being in the way, but then I checked a map and realized they were too far west.
There are two locations: Fort Wayne, IN and an unspecified point in the ocean. Of the paths between Fort Wayne and an ocean, the ones people are most likely to think of (e.g. from the Atlantic or the Pacific) involve crossing mountains, but others (e.g. from the Gulf of Mexico or Hudson Bay) do not.
No, it was added during the cold war because the commies were seen as godless heathens and the religious assholes in charge seized the opportunity to push their brainwashing on us using “do the opposite of the commies” as an excuse. There was never any legitimate concern about “e pluribus unum.”
It’s the same story as why they reflexively oppose almost anything proposed by a Democrat today.

What are some places you can spend time where you're protected from the elements and it doesn't cost anything to be there?
The classic example is libraries, but ideally I’m thinking of places you can have a conversation....
