Points for zombies:

The isolation and dread caused by the entire world turning into flesh hungry monsters, including family and friends

The body horror of being bit and inevitably losing control of your mind and having your body decay (also you can perhaps hide your infection from the rest of the group?)

There are always more, they never stop. Basically turning human persistance hunting against ourselves

Also they just make a good excuse for an apocalypse, with humanoid things to shoot

I think you’re missing their point, they weren’t saying that Blender is cad, it’s just a good comparison, as a successful piece of software in the the same broad, general category (3D modeling)

We want what Blender is to mesh modeling, rendering, etc, but for parametric cad, manufacturing, etc. Basically Fusion 360 but open source, without any of Autodesk’s bs. Ideally it would even work together with Blender for rendering.

Arch is great if you want to customize your system, but I wouldn't say it really needs "maintaining" beyond just updating more frequently. (which you don't even really need to do very often, you just have the option to get newer versions of software.)

I wouldn't say I agree with OP, but yeah, until we can ensure good quality of life for everyone and completely reverse environmental destruction, we should discourage bringing more children into the world.

Yeah I would say you might as well just go with mint then. Debian based distros are popular for a reason.

EndeavourOS is really probably the best overall option though, as you have the best software availability, but if you're not comfortable using the terminal, I might avoid it. (Although I will say that package management with yay is super easy, just yay [packagename] to search and install interactively. Also to update your system just alias yay -Syu to "update" if you have trouble remembering the right flags. I'd really recommend learning to use the terminal regardless of distro, though.)

First of all, it's perfectly viable to just not eat meat. Tons of people don't eat meat and are perfectly healthy.

If you need meat replacements, (which is for taste, let's be clear) there are a TON of good substitutes, for example Beyond.

Also to your previous point, food waste is a big problem, but thermodynamically, meat IS food waste. Only a fraction of the energy of animal feed is present in the meat, which is super resource intensive and environmentally terrible (not to mention all the methane produced)

So what?? Why do chromosomes matter at all? Gender ≠ sex. Anyone is allowed to identify however they want, and it literally hurts nobody.

However, trans people do actually have brain structures that mismatch their assigned sex at birth. Also, most differences of sex are just caused by hormones, so HRT really does meaningfully change someone's sex.
You should also know that human biology is not so clean cut. Intersex people exist, and for example there are people born female with a Y chromosome.
