This is the company in question, I'm not sure if there's an online repository for all the ridiculous drama and bad decisions though.

Anyway as someone who's spent the requisite sleepless nights I've been granted the power of justifying my taste. It's not the same as "why" because the understanding comes from a felt sense, and then I just make up some bullshit to explain it.

In this case the design isn't well composed because the removal of the background has left the logo un-grounded. The outer ring is now dominated by the letters B M W, making the design top heavy. Also worth noting is that the letters themselves are no longer balanced. The M and W are no longer the full cap-height in the center, which further unbalances the design by making it lighter to the right. The "simplicity" reduces legibility. The design is now dependent on the color of the background rather than working anywhere. Though I can't imagine a color upon which this logo would work better than the previous one. There's also an unpleasant visual ringing that occurs at hard edged transitions like the center of the checkerboard which was previously mitigated by the dividing lines.

Wellll, we still have payday loans and the like so I wouldn't really put too much stock in the financial literacy of the developed world.

There have been a couple studies done that suggest vegetarian diets are modestly cancer protective (~10% lower incidence). There have also been some that link increased meat consumption with increased risk of cancer. It's absolutely not clear that eating meat causes cancer. Dietary habits change your cancer mortality risk and being a vegetarian probably correlates with something like a 1-4% decreased risk.

I would be wildly surprised if there weren't animal protein inclusive diets that are good in other ways that surpass the cancer risk reduction of "being vegetarian".

Please. I'll take 3.

You've got an excellent username btw. <3

I love JS. I love it's ubiquity (F12 in any browser and you've got a REPL). I love the freedom I have when I write in it to do whatever the fuck I want and shoot myself in the foot in all sorts of strange ways. It's a very expressive language that lends itself to all sorts of fun. I love being able to inline C functions as WASM. I love manually managing memory with typed arrays. I love the filth of it all. It's liberating to give up all your dignity and just fling mud with a big grin on your face because your ridiculous 5 lines are a functional standin for a templating engine.

    let applyTemplate = template => object => {
      let keys = Object.keys(object)
      return new Function('input' , `let {${keys.join(',')}} = input
    return \`${template}\``)(object)
    }

I play time-attack puzzle games; and some of my best times have been while I'm listening to an audiobook, music or deep in thought about some emotional problem. It feels like I actually perform both tasks better if I'm doing them simultaneously because my "vague processing" isn't interrupted by my "sharp processing" and vice versa.

Anyway, plotters are dope and to anyone thinking of building one of these, I highly recommend a CoreXY based design.
