I used to live in a very car dependent city and now I’m somewhere that I can easily walk or bike anywhere I need and get there within 15 minutes and I am very grateful for that. Our biking and public transport infrastructure keeps getting improvements, too, which is awesome.
If they want people to use their cars less they need to start making that an actual option. This is not on the individuals but the government.
People are pretty predictable ultimately, we take the path of least resistance most of the time. If it’s quicker or cheaper or easier to do something one way then we’ll do it that way.
I hate adobe and have been actively trying to switch away from them for a while. I work in game development, though, and for some reason no one has made it as easy to directly modify the alpha channel of a texture. It’s something I have to do a lot and is probably the one thing keeping me from using krita or affinity photo.
I think the idea is that making fun of the way people look isn’t ok because it makes negative associations for anyone who has similar traits. It hurts more than just the intended recipient. There are plenty of ways to make fun of Trump without making fun of his body.
I watched a documentary about Alex Jones’ court case with the Sandy Hook victims and he did the exact same thing. In court he does nothing, but as soon as he’s back in front of a camera he’s straight back to peddling lies and crying injustice.
Is there any actual weight to this talk of campaign interference? I heard it somewhere else, too. It just seems absurd to me that that would be considered at all. Like if I did a few felonies but was like: your honor, I’ve got to water my plants. so you see - I can’t do any prison time.
I’m not starving and I don’t eat meat. I just pay more for my food even though it costs less to produce. We should be incentivising more sustainable choices, because unless we scale down animal ag we all actually will starve.
The entire industry is built on suffering. It’s bad for the animals, the workers, the climate, your health.
I get a lot of downvotes for being vegan (and I’m usually being a prick about it, so - fair) but surely even the meat eaters must recognise that animal ag needs to scale way down to be at all sustainable. At the very least we need to stop subsidising it so it’s cheaper than alternatives.
I can respect that. I was once where you are and one day I just decided I couldn’t justify it anymore. Now I only eat sticks and moss.
But if you wanna try making some vegan food my advice is just don’t overthink it, make some pasta and just pan fry some veggies you like and mix 'em through with some olive oil. It’s always a tasty time.
That’s probably smart. Even with important things I don’t think online arguments have ever swayed anyone. I like being an annoying vegan and arguing about it occasionally, but sometimes it’s just frustrating and I have to disconnect for a while.
Nobody called themselves a victim, it’s a joke about how cunts like you love to come in to vegan communities and have a whinge for no clear reason. The fact you don’t see the irony is hilarious.
"Omg a vegan post in a vegan community! Those vegans have made it their whole personality! Time to show them how funny and smart I am"
Ok but all you’ve said is that we call ourselves ‘victims’ and we make being vegan our whole personality. What kind of posts were you expecting to find here? Would I go to a car community and have a whinge about car people making cars their whole personality?
Do you want some cuddles and forehead kisses? I’m so sorry the big bad vegan was mean to you. Let’s go dip some living animals into scalding water until they shit themselves and drown, that should cheer you up.
Patriarchy has everything to do with men, but at the same time, nothing at all. In a male-centered society where maleness is associated with power, what’s really being centered is power itself. What’s suppressed is mutual relationality. Patriarchy is intertwined with colonialism, racism, and other oppressive social...
That’s not what I was trying to say. I was specifically referring to you talking about how animals treat each other.
I don’t want anyone to suffer which is why I have mixed feelings about this.
edit: actually go fuck yourself, I don’t care, you’ve continuously put words in my mouth and obviously don’t care about having a reasonable conversation.
I have mixed feelings on this. On the one hand that’s pretty interesting and like, hurray for saving lives. But on the other hand it seems kind of incredibly messed up to raise animals as sacrificial organ sacks.
