    I despise them as much as the next queer liberal but it isn’t just the vile boomers falling for this. Keep an eye on your grandparents, maybe sit down and explain the more common scams and tell them to call you if they get something weird. No banking info over phones, etc.







  • They’re easy to hate - They’re weird, eat funny foods, care about things nobody else does (who cares about chickens) and my god is there a subset of them that are the most truly obnoxious human beings (a statement that is, conveniently, true of every single group of humans). They’re basically furries for the non-internet crowd. Nobody ever interacts with them to know it, so they get defined by the strawmen people create of them.

    Edit: It’s possible my explanation of why vegans are disliked has touched a nerve. To clarify; I don’t think this, hell I eat vegan meals most of the time, but these are the qualities given to the Strawman Vegan that everyone onlines seems to love to hate. (I also quite like furries.)





  • Cilantro and coriander come from the same plant, coriandrum sativum. In North America, cilantro refers to the leaves and stalks, while coriander refers to the dried seeds. Cilantro has a citrusy flavor, while coriander seeds have an earthy taste with floral notes.

    TIL. This explains why my sibling hates anything seasoned with coriander, as well as any inclusion of cilantro.

    Yep! He competes in (at least) 10m mixed team. They use PCP pistols for that, so you really don’t really need more than a pair of earplugs. 25m and 25m rapid both use .22LR though, and many competitors compete in both events and only bring the one pair of PPE, so that’s where the images of competitors wearing full ears vs. earplugs only in one side come from (and/or some people’s ears are stupidly designed so they can’t wear normal earplugs / earbuds and have to have the uncomfortable and bulky over-the-ear protection. Not that I’m bitter or anything. Stupid ears.).

    Also, his shooting stance is 100% standard, here’s him & his partner Sevval Tarhan in identical stances. It’s really more for comfort than anything else, since rounds go for 1hr 15min. Ergonomic stance means you can keep up the consistent shots for that long a period

    The meme format with him vs. the south korean shooter Kim Yeji looks so different because they are competing in totally different events, even though they’re both shooting PCP target guns.
