The notion that Biden represents a lesser evil compared to the chaotic reign of Trump is a common argument. However, we must not forget that there exists a moral threshold below which neither choice is acceptable. To suggest that enabling a literal genocide can be considered a lesser evil is a morally bankrupt stance....
yeah “want to” because they’re not in the whitehouse at the moment. Biden is currently aiding and abetting the murder of children and he approved more drilling permits than trump did.
and since liberals have reading comprehension difficulties sometimes: condemning biden is not support for nor an endorsement of trump.
I started a new job at a whole new grocery store a couple months ago. Got hired as a cashier a little while before the grand opening, but my first weeks consisted entirely of stocking all the empty shelves. Then when we opened, it was a nightmare suddenly dealing with customers for the first time but I thought I adapted fairly...
that kind of post is just pretending to not understand the cultural significance of pets. If there’s actually a point behind it besides antagonizing people in a post about child abuse and violating social norms, I don’t know what it is.
Either you think pets are higher tier beings than the equally smart and full of personality animals killed for food or you don’t. It’s not that hard
nah i think it’s social categories, not moral ones. Cool i’ve deconstructed the categories of “pet animal” and “food animal” and think that if you want to keep a holstein as a pet or raise cats as livestock that’s a little weird (historically, culturally, and logistically) but not some great sin just because the animals are flipped around.
people keep lizards and weird bugs as non-traditional pets too, maybe it’s easier to see compared to mammals that the thing that’s special about a pet is that it’s a pet, not the species.
this is about interrogating why people think pets are different from livestock, something common to mammals (and talking about desires gets a little weird, but anyway) isn’t going to be the difference between them.
You’re explicitly acknowledging anything could be a pet that is meaningful to someone but some just get the shit end of the stick and are killed after a lifetime of torture instead
yes. although to slide in part of another comment i saw pop up while typing this
If it’s purely the label of pet, we get back to the comment [queermunist] replied to
i think it’s the social relation itself rather than the label being a talisman. We even attach to inanimate objects the same way sometimes.
libs and elections gaslighting

Is this a crime? Thoughts? (midwest.social)
Just realized 2016 was just the warm-up for 2024 in terms of "Both candidates suck ass, who gives a shit" energy
Even that election had more passion than this dead fish we’re getting this time
The Offspring, The Beastie Boys, Van Halen w/DLR, and the B52s. Are there other bands that rock, but are often silly/goofy and funny?
