At least i can finally give a good example when people ask me why i'm trying to have control over my online data. "i don't have anything to hide" is very dependant on the current political climate...
I don't know if anyone of you still looks at memes on 9gag, it once felt like a relatively neutral place but the site slowly pushed right wing content in the last years and is now infested with alt-right and even blatantly racist "memes" and comment-sections.
Fels to me like astroturfing on the site to push viewers and posters in some political direction. As an example: in the span during US-election all of a sudden the war on palestine became a recurring theme depicting the Biden admin and jews as "bad actors" and calling for Trump; after election it became a flood of content about how muslims are bad people and we shouldn't intervene in palestine...
I get your vibe and i would have said the same before visiting large parts of asia. There is lots of shitty tofu around in western supermarkets that taste like sour carton and it is borderline impossible to get it prepared in a way that is enjoyable. Don't give up on tofu yet tho, there are so many different style of tofus, ways to prepare it and brands that saying "i don't like the taste of tofu" now sounds as radical to me like someone saying "i don't like the taste of meat", you might not have found a good tofu, the right tofu for your meal, the right seasoning or it wasn't prepared in a way that you enjoyed.
Bro, ich habe schon einige Kumpels mit triefenden veganen Burgern vergiftet die nicht glauben konnten, dass da kein Tier drinn war. Klar schmeckt der vegane Fertigpatty aus dem Discounter nicht so geil aber wenn man sich gut mit veganen Produketen auskennt und kochen kann, dann ist zumindest der Burger ein Klacks.
Unpopular opinion i guess but here we go. The event was scripted but not the fight. Mike's knee was hurt, he came into the fight bandaged and on some videos of him prefight you can see how slow and wobbly he is on his feet. He came in hot but after round two it seems like he hurt his knee. Round 3-8 Mike was basically standing his ground in peekaboo stance and had no real ability to enter the longer reach of Jake who didn't force an early decision and played it out respectfully while still having to be careful about Mike's hands.
I personally enjoyed the event, we all have this question in some form at some point: "What if this old legend came back into the sport, would he/her be able to compete?".
I didn't come to watch a carnage, i was curious, how far the legend could push himself at 58 and i got my answer, i was entertained.
