I learned a lot about home maintenance and handiwork from my dad, but then I started looking stuff up and realized he’s been stubbornly doing a lot of projects the wrong way.

I just learned the term, but it sounds like the society from Star Trek but everyone is Sulu.
If you’re marketing only to people with critical thinking skills you’ll miss most of the voting population, but you do you.
We’re really good at marketing exclusively to other leftists.
“Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism” for those that want to save the time searching.
Is that right? To the average person, “Anti-Work” sounds like you’re straight up against working, and unless you want to explain this to every single person individually, Fox News is going to keep having a field day misrepresenting your movement.
Either he’s going to have a tough time in social situations, or she’s going to have an extremely tough time.
If my name was either exceptionally hard to say by another species, or if by them uttering my name it could bind me into their service or kill me or whatever, I’d probably go with whatever stupid name they came up with for me too.
If there is I couldn’t find it. I dug through the menus before I made this post.
You don’t think I’m advocating that we make pesticides and deforestation illegal overnight? That would be like saying anyone opposed to automobile emissions wants people to die from supply chain shutdown.
I’m saying that to have the biggest effect on these we eat much fewer animal products, and those of us who can go vegan to do so. This would also result in us breeding fewer animals, not culling the ones that are alive right now…
Even in the most idyllic ranches/farms, which account for only 1% of US production, animals are still selectively bred in ways that can cause seriously health problems, and they’re killed at a small fraction of their potential lifespan: https://www.farmtransparency.org/kb/food/abattoirs/age-animals-slaughtered.
The issue with open pasture farms is they take up enormous amounts of land that could otherwise be rewilded, resulting in habitat loss and species extinction.
Yeah it’s not the end goal but the results are the same.
Plant compost works just as well, I use it in my garden.
Agribusiness levels far more land for meat, dairy and eggs, about 80% of total agricultural use.

It’s also the leading cause of deforestation in the Amazon. https://greentumble.com/amazon-rainforest-deforestation-facts
Go ahead and rant on pesticides if you want, but I’d recommend looking into the types of crops they’re used on: https://faunalytics.org/pesticides-in-farmed-animal-feed/#:~:text=Many pesticides used to grow,enormous amount of animal feed.
Why exactly do people need to die? We grow enough crops to feed 13 billion people, we just feed a vast amount to livestock.
Weren’t we talking about pigs originally? Considering 99% of meat consumption in the US and 90% worldwide is factory farmed, switching the conversation to hunting seems like a distraction at best.
The reality is that when you consume animal products you’re weighing two things against each other:
Obviously that choice is up to you, and in the absence of alternatives I don’t fault people for doing what’s necessary to survive, but if you have access to vegan alternatives and you still choose animal products, you’re indicating your sense of taste is more valuable than an animal’s life at least.
To the animal, it’s all the same.
True, but there’s still an alarmingly high margin error rate on things like captive bolt guns, stun baths, CO2 gas chambers, etc. And the industry standard practices in factory farms are the stuff of nightmares.
Killing an animal because you like the feel of it: cruel.
Killing an animal because you like the sound of it: fucked up.
Killing an animal because you like the sight of it: psychopath.
Killing an animal because you like the taste of it: normal.
Always tough to read stuff like this, even though it’s important to know. The sheer scope of animal abuse in our society is mind-boggling.
It’s fucked up that it takes this kind of outrage to get animal abuse charges against this guy. Laws exist in nearly every state that can bring felony charges for this kind of thing, but animal abusers are so rarely charged, let alone convicted.
If you think Jesus would have sided with conservatives against trans people, you should check out Matthew 5:11.
Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.
I would highly recommend donating to a specific organization rather than as a “uniform anatomical gift”. Unless you’re fine with being sold by a body broker and used for explosives/crash testing, or forensic entomological decomposition research: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bodies-donated-to-science-largely-unregulated-cbs-reports/
Skeet? Really? Lil Jon’s “Get Low” came out 22 years ago.
Now if they had said “Skibidi” that would be a different story.
