That's a really tired joke. Do you know why you hear it so much? Have you ever considered how inundated the world is with carnist culture? Everyday vegans come across media, friends and assumptions about the normalization of eating animals. How do you know that someone is a carnist? They'll tell that dumb "how do you know someone is a vegan" joke.

Not trolling, I was genuinely interested

I don't get that at all. Can you explain? How is it cultish to want to preserve the environment?

The desire for insects and spiders deserve to die is very far from any reasonable viewpoint with contrasting counter points. Unless you're saying that OP is a "reddit kid" I don't see the problem with an irrational idea like this getting downvoted

New comment by spraak in "In Defense of Comic Sans"

My wife homeschool's our daughter (which I add to the context for that it shows she wouldn't have already been exposed to Comic Sans from public school) and one day my wife decided to switch some of the worksheets she created for our daughter to use Comic Sans. Our daughter was really excited about the change and said that now they're "more fun and easier to read, it seems more like a kid made this".

I thought that the map in the Fast Company article were cropped, but the map from the original study seems to lack Hawai'i and Alaska, as well as Puerto Rico, American Somoa, Guam... and where else am I missing?

What you described sounds exactly like "reading between the lines"

You've missed the point. This is more similar to identify theft.

It's a cool effort but I guess it's not for me — I much prefer <= over ≤ and >= over ≥ and !== over ≠ etc. because I find it more explicit and readable than a condensed form.

Sorry I mean that I would like to hear more detail rather than just a downvote.

I'm curious why you're downvoted. Do people disagree?

Yes when my wife was pregnant it was not common at all to use it during pregnancy, and was barely even medically legal outside of pregnancy. She became allergic to Zofran, Diclegis (?) didn't work, and neither did any of the other commonly used HG medicines.

My wife spent months in the hospital due to Hyperemesis Gravidarum (a disorder during pregnancy that causes continual vomiting and nausea. My wife vomited up to 40 times a day, eventually vomiting blood and breaking vessels in her eyes. She survived on a banana bag and lost 20% of her pre-pregnancy body weight. She said HG feels like being on an unending roller coaster while you're hung over and have the worst flu of your life). We lost the first baby. The second pregnancy was only survivable due to cannabis. It was risk we knew but 7 years later our child shows no signs of developmental disorders. I know, N=1, but still worth sharing.

I've been downvoted by those who are very attached to drugs, it seems.

It's much safer to open the mind through meditation especially with a trained teacher (satguru).
