  • I will continue to hate people

    You’ve just demonstrated the biggest reason everyone hates people lol. We hate people because people act like you as soon as they disagree on something. Zero attempt to learn from others or even defend your own opinions that you feel so strongly about, just “fuck you and everyone who agrees with you if you don’t tell me I’m absolutely right.”

    Also, just curious, do you also hate yourself when you say you hate “people?” Or is everyone else the problem and you’re the only good person in your mind?


  • Step 0: Choose to click on a thread in a .ml community when you clearly hate us. The socialism community no less when you clearly don’t intend on learning about socialism.

    Step 1: Make a claim with no justification because “obviously it should be obvious to anyone.”

    Step 2: Someone disagrees, provides a detailed justification complete with sources.

    Step 3: Resort to ad hominem name calling. Complain about the instance that you chose to click and comment on.

    Step 4: ???

    Step 5: Reassure yourself that your ideology is the correct one and everyone else is wrong.

    And we’re the dickhead ideologues, sure.






  • Maggie and the Ferocious Beast (the first English cartoon I remember watching), Rolie Polie Olie, Martha Speaks, Franklin, Little Bear, Total Drama Island/Action, and 6Teen taught me English when I came to Canada.

    Star Trek got me started on my path to tankiehood and sci-fi writing. Futurama also significantly contributed to the latter.

    Pokemon, Wonderpets and Redwall (and many of the cartoons from the learning English category) got me interested in writing animal characters. Zootopia pissed me off so much with its inconsistent world building that it sealed the deal and made me obsessed with perfecting my own fictional animal world.

    Family Guy taught me how not to write characters and their interactions.

    How It’s Made is just awesome and satisfying, no further comments.


  • I find lot of seafood disgusting, and the unsustainability of wild caught seafood is just the cherry on top.

    Unagi. Doesn’t taste that special and has a texture like dried out overcooked fish complete with the occasional sharp scale or bone that stabs your throat. Definitely not worth decimating wild eel populations for.

    Related, any kind of fish eggs. Whether caviar or salmon roe sushi. They’re like those popping bubbles in bubble tea but instead of a nice sweet fruit syrup it’s concentrated fish stink that coats your tongue and overpowers everything else.

    Oysters and clams (bivalves in general). You’re literally eating its entire digestive system complete with poop. The crunchy sand is just a reminder of that. And eating it raw is a great way to get parasites and hepatitis.

    One that’s not seafood: asparagus. People say it makes your pee stink but somehow don’t talk about how much the vegetable itself stinks going in. Maybe I’ve just never found a cooking method I like but I’ve never tasted an asparagus that doesn’t make me wince when swallowing. I personally love the vast majority of vegetables, many of which I prefer compared to meat, but asparagus (and Chinese bitter melon) are exceptions.

    Any kind of alcohol in general. I think beer tastes and smells like the liquid at the bottom of a dumpster, so does wine, and any kind of spirit tastes like literal poison. Whatever psychoactive effects it has is not worth the constant nausea during and after drinking. If I’m looking for psychoactive effects, I prefer edible cannabis extract, still doesn’t taste that great but you only need a tiny amount to get high which you can chase down with regular food to make the taste go away.














  • Ok, so if my main router is on 192.168.1.1 and my new OpenWrt router I plan on connecting to VPN is 192.168.1.2, I should set the OpenWrt router’s gateway to 192.168.1.1, set any devices I want on the VPN to use gateway 192.168.1.2, and any devices I don’t want on the VPN should stay on 192.168.1.1, right?

    Would devices on the VPN still be able to access the local network and devices that have 192.168.1.1 as their gateway? I assume it would only route internet bound traffic and the OpenWRT router would be able to just pass through local network traffic the same way as the main router?

    Also, would the OpenWrt router be able to deal with the main router handling DHCP if I configure it to give it a static IP? Will it just know what devices it’s talking to when the main router assigns them their dynamic IPs?

    Sorry for all the noob questions, networking is not one of my strengths.


  • just get a cheap Pi-type device, install OpenWRT, setup your VPN connections, then create a route on your network to point at this new device for whatever you need it for.

    Can I just set its IP address as the default gateway on my devices instead of the main router and expect it to forward everything to the main router through the VPN? Or is there a more complicated setup procedure to get the two routers talking properly?

    I briefly tried to make my server a default gateway in the past but couldn’t get it to work, and I’m generally not super experienced with networking. But that was on a general non-router OS. Does OpenWrt do the gateway and routing/forwarding configuration by itself more than a general Linux OS?
