Imagine the average human eats 20 hamburgers per month.

I tried to replay GTA 5. Ten years ago I really enjoyed it, now it felt nugh. The biggest thing was that driving is not now a fun and enjoyable activity. Damn you all at c/urbanism.

So far, the only Discord servers I’m on are leftists one. The vibe is good. But ya, the format isn’t helpful for trying to get information.

Back before I was an ML I knew a few PMC liberal types who listened to Rachel Maddow. Yes, those individuals were the worst humans one could imagine. But what used to shock me was how non-Amerikans would listen for an hour (?) each day about Russian electoral interference.

I’m honestly not trying to be snarky, but just go to YouTube and search for “slaugherhouse footage”. Once you see it, you can’t go back.

Also, like, what happens to the male chicks? Are they allowed to live to old age?

Edit: to answer your question, PETA is fine. They’re an NGO. Ya, they don’t threaten capitalism, but unlike nearly every NGO they don’t work to strengthen it. I’ve done activism with them and they’re VERY generous with offering help and funding, which isn’t the case with other non-profits. They legitimately care about animals, less so their careers. A small percentage of their bagillion campaigns are considered cringy, but at least they do shit to make animal abusers feel uncomfortable.

Non vegans feel sad that they’re being told to stop hurting sentient beings, so they repeat right-wing talking points.

Ya I fucking hated it. The UK version wasn’t enjoyable, and the US version is another level of shit.

Wow if only you did this a year ago

Just so we’re all clear, this isn’t written by the Gaurdian, but by rich people orgs

This content is supported, in part, through philanthropic funding to theguardian.org, a US-based foundation that partners with the Guardian on independent editorial projects. Support for the global development project comes to theguardian.org from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

I’m not even defending the Taliban. But these orgs are ruining stuff at home, I’m sure they’d love to make us worry about the evil over there and not here.

Honestly dm an admin if you notice it happening too regularly. There really should be higher standards for mods.

I’m a very lowly mod, but I’ll be happy to pass it on if you dm me.

I did not fucking know anything about the racist history of the dunk tank. Thank you.

We aren’t listening to material power, we have ideals about democracy and fairness, and we value discussion and conflict. Honestly I think that all of those are good and admirable things. I wouldn’t want to be friends with someone who didn’t genuinely want those.

I should point out that the closer you get to someone, the more you’re gonna argue with them. It’s just the rule of being social in the world. I go to work and my boss gets 1% of my personality. You guys, my partner, my IRL comrades, and my close mates get nearly 100%. Ya I’m not willing to call my boss a fascist to his face, but I wouldn’t spend an uncompensated moment of time with him. With people I love, I do occasionally call them out on shit because I want them to grow, and I expect the same from them.

Some talking heads on the news are saying it’s “like the flu”. I’m not saying they’re wrong, but we went through this already on 2020. I’m just suspicious until we know more.

Burgerland plague.

A small part of me wants this to happen to make people mask again. But really that ain’t gonna happen, and this is just gonna make things even worse.

It does seem like fascists outside of the imperial core really hate their own people. Name any non West fascist and they’re all like “damn I wish we could be more American”.

Somehow I doubt that we’ll do nation blaming, like “China virus”, as we did with COVID. This will just be “well nothing could have prevented it”.

Also this vegan wants to remind you all that BOTH pandemics came from commercial animal consumption.

Ya you might need light reading glasses. In the beginning, the prescription can be pretty light.

Do you wear glasses or contacts? What happens if you don’t wear them?

Wait crossbows were armour piercing?
