My family is mostly vegan. Only my sister eats hotdogs from time to time.

So you are saying you aren’t vegan.

Isn’t that the logic here?

That’s what I mean. The biggest source of methane and therefore one of the biggest contributor to climate change is cattle. Which could be considered “natural”, but even if we deny it that label, as it is clearly man-made, we wouldn’t refer to it as fossil fuel. I’m not sure how much of an impact those methane leaks have on the climate compared to the steady release of agricultural gas, but I bet it’s not exactly helping.

Still, stating it’s 40 times more potent than carbon dioxide also feels deceptive. While it’s technically true, it’s not a fair comparison. I’d like to clarify here, that I’m not defending gas as an energy source. I don’t own a gas stove or anything in that regard.

Feel free to correct me, but this sounds incredibly ill-informed. Yes, methane itself is an incredibly potent greenhouse gas, far more potent than CO2. But there are several types of “natural” gas. You are talking about fossil fuels, the type of methane either trapped underground or beneath the arctic perma frost. Methane is created by decomposing organic matter though. Livestock is one of the biggest producers of natural gas as far as I know. If released into the atmosphere, methane would be devastating, as it takes about ten years for it to degrade into CO2 first. I don’t know the impact of using “natural” gas compared to other kinds of fossil fuels. Burning it definitely seems like the lesser of two evils though. A quick Google search says that “emissions per unit of energy produced from gas are around 40% lower than coal and around 20% lower than oil.” While this is far from perfect, putting it on the same level seems either ignorant or disingenuous.

TLDR: Methane doesn’t necessarily mean fossil fuels. Burning methane and using it as an energy source is less bad than releasing it directly into the atmosphere.

Again, if there’s anyone with actual knowledge on the subject, please correct me.

Damn. What an incredibly stupid thing to do. Attacking someone pointing a gun at others. That “hero” is dead or responsible for someone else’s death in a different timeline. All for some cash. Unless he somehow knew the gun wasn’t loaded or something.

~3000h in Team Fortress 2. I miss those days.

~2000h in Dota 2. I don’t miss those days.

~700h in Oxygen not included. I still don’t know what I’m doing. It’s one of those games where you think “I’m just gonna do this one thing real quick and then I’m going to bed” and then it’s suddenly 5am.

~500h in Hollow Knight. This is what no Silk Song does to you. Mostly Randomizer, but I just recently beat P5. One of the hardest achievements I got.

~600h in Left4Dead2. Back in the day. I always picked Ellis.

~550h in Apex Legends. Haven’t played in years. Wattson main, even though she sucked back then.

~340h in Payday2. Killing cops while vibing to the soundtrack.

~800h in Rocket League. I think I made it to Diamond I one time, or whatever comes after Gold.

~500h in Overwatch. Hamster main. My team hated me most of the time, even if I did well. (That’s not Steam though).
