Not knowing what I'm looking at, this is a rather confusing post. I'm guessing these are not just off-color potato chips, since those do tend to be round...

Well, I hope you are happy with the answers you already got, because my answer is that I personally don't care to keep these items, so I don't have much of an opinion on it. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

That's kind of the point I was trying to make up there, that I don't have to be the arbiter of all morals, just my own morals...

But if you want to keep such trinkets and you feel like you've informed yourself enough to know that no harm is done to these animals, and that makes you decide that it is moral, I will gladly accept your decision.
If I learn that it does harm in some way, I would let you know, though. Not to attack you, but because I would assume that you want to do no evil. And that you don't subscribe to the ~~horseshit~~ belief that your own ignorance of evil makes it moral.

I feel like I really need to drive home that veganism is when you care, but you're also lazy. I don't want to have to inform myself about every supply chain for my food and every possible moral effect that my actions might have. So, I just nope the fuck out of a large chunk of that by not dealing with animal-sourced products.

Like, yeah, if a bird drops a feather in front of you, the supply chain is quite obvious and I would hope you don't set off a trend of enough people wanting feathers in their homes for there to emerge an industry.

So, it's almost certainly fine. But if I myself don't actually want a feather, you can bet your ass that I will gladly stop thinking right then and there.

If these were not just random examples and rather genuine questions, then I would try to help you reason through it, but ultimately the decision is yours...

I guess, they might not be talking about individuals, but rather humanity as a whole. So, if a person rapes someone and this becomes publicly known, they will generally be shamed more than a woman having consensual sex (even though some rapists also get to be president, I guess).

But across the board, we have insults that every kid knows, which equate to "woman having (consensual) sex bad", as well as gossip of the like, and even men being shamed for going out with a woman who has sex.
Compared to that, rape is rarely talked about...

Waterfox. It started out as a 64-bit build of Firefox for Windows, back when Mozilla didn't offer that yet. These days, I believe, it just offers a few different defaults...

You're using Nightly. There be dragons...

The implications would be massive and I do not think most power users would benefit from it being broken up like that. Being able to backup or sync your entire Firefox profile by copying one directory is quite useful.

It also makes for an easy conversation topic to complain about stuff...

Veganism isn't a hivemind. We're all individuals that came to similar conclusions. And we will have different opinions on the details.

Some folks will say consuming those that died naturally is a-ok. Others will argue that it incentivizes creating conditions under which animals die "naturally" to harvest them.
Personally, I'm part of the group that is probably the largest by a long shot, whose opinion is: Why are we even thinking about that?

The vast majority of vegans find corpses gross, much like anything you might derive from corpses.
It also seriously does not happen often, that animals drop dead in front of you. And there's nothing on an animal's body that you can't find a different alternative for. So, it really just is not a relevant question in our lives...

Ah, yeah, I did get it after looking at the comments, but thanks. ๐Ÿ™‚

Oh man, I thought that was supposed to be Einstein, but then figured the joke is that it's his supposed son, Frank Einstein, which sounds a lot like "Frankenstein". I guess, the joke is a lot simpler than that...

I'm currently prototyping a macro to help reduce boilerplate, as part of a more general library. And I'm doing some wild shit, like defining the fields of a data type from the parameter list of a function.

But then, yeah, what I'm now stuck on is that my generated code references a data type under one name, but it's actually got a different name in the public API. All the wild shit was smooth sailing, but a technicality now fucks me over. ๐Ÿซ

As a more lightweight solution for broken bookmarks, there's this extension for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bookmarks-organizer/
