Everyone keeps talking about plant substitute meat as if we don’t have a developing lab grown replica industry that could do the job just as well, one that actual vegans have admitted they’d consider as a legitimate source of food since it doesn’t directly involve an animal or animal byproduct.
I think what we’re gonna see is a diversification of the “meat” market with lab grown meat taking the niche of your traditional burgers bacons and sausages, plant substitute leaning into their differences to create more uniquely marketable products, probably selling on their health benefits since people who go off meat for an extended period and then try it again often report a readjusting period tied to how much energy the body has to commit to breaking meats down, and lastly the “fresh meat” industry will go full wagyuification.
They won’t have the ability to compete at market scale, so they’ll instead make their niche in selling a luxury quality product. Cattle ranchers and bison runners are gonna watch the old looming factories fall over and the owners come running begging to invest in the old fashioned cattle and bison raising that they’re now gonna try and sell as creating some superior quality of meat product that justifies the mark-up they’re gonna need to sell with to stay in the game longer term.
Granted he was portrayed as having vitiligo instead of just being biracial (his dad was a white guy who was a famous traveling knight)
Point still stands though, the historians of the day themselves literally saw nothing weird about that other than “oh yeah this cool guy came to the court from Africa too. His armor is a bit fancy and decorative but he swears it’s a symbol of the pride his Queen wanted to project for his country.”
Makes sense, one man can make a lot of kids quickly with a lot of women if given the chance to, considering how many bastards legitimate children affair children and gestures wildly at steppe history and its consequences on the gene pool, are about, there’s been plenty of women having kids by a man who’s already had kids with a different woman.
Tbf the US was doing just fine in Afghanistan until Bush literally let Bin Laden just walk away because he wanted to make a show of the Northern Alliance capturing him and turning him over.
From that point forward it was a saga of willful ignorance to the fact that Pakistan would literally do everything to make the mission harder because the US wanted a stable Afghanistan that doesn’t let the Taliban come back and Pakistan wanted an effective zone of no governance that can’t raise claims on Pashtunistan and Balochistan.
Israel are just being a bunch of weenies too afraid to develop a strategy to enter the tunnels to actually pursue any of the goals they claim they’re after while quarantining refugee camps from entryways into the tunnel system to seal anyone hiding or rallying down there off from being able to just hop out and pretend to be civvies at the end of the work shift.
Israel could easily have turned this into a point to point clear and capture operation on the tunnels since it’s so blatantly obvious that Hamas is hiding in there with the hostages, but they aren’t doing that because that would require actually using Israeli troops and Israeli troops are slowly turning more and more mutinous towards the current regime.
Even if he is, there’s probably a law on the books restricting what he can do towards that end, because fucking AIPAC apparently had the advance plans for how the 10/7 war would play out and slapped a shitton of barriers down on cutting aid to israel or consequencing them in any way at the peak of the “criticizing israel is antisemitism!” mindset

It’s this up and coming techbro generation’s blockchain
The actual off the walls sci-fi shit this tech could maybe be capable of (an AI “third hemisphere” neural implant that catches the human mind up to the kind of mass calculation that it falls behind traditional computing on) is so far removed from what’s currently supportable on commercial tech that it’s all entirely speculation.
I figured a close stereotype for men, would be that they should all be farmers. The thing is, there are under two million farmers in the US as of 2023. So statistically, an equivalent occupation/role should have a larger number.

Yeah we don’t really talk enough about just how balls to the walls America went in on WWI once it did.
We went from half the country speaking German daily to several German languages dying out in America with a flip of a switch starting with American entry into WWI, and that’s not really something that just happens because the neighbors are looking at you funny.
That’s nothing, I’m waiting for when Trump gets the chance to say something on the record at sentencing
I guarantee that up to this point his lawyers have been keeping a cork in his yap hole but if he’s actually required to give a statement we could see some real shit.
Civil Law, for civil disputes related to property, nuisance behavior, and other such day to day business.
Criminal law, where sentences start actually including punitive time of some variety or other has to cause harm, has to be intentional or so damaging that not having intended to do harm doesn’t cover just how much harm was did. Non violent offenders should be fasttracked to work based rehabilitation programs in supervised housing. Violent offenders need time with a mental health professional before they can be cleared to enter rehab.
Felony Law, the especially heinous and destructive shit that requires an entire prosecution team to handle the sheer weight of what you did either because of scale or because what you did is so heinous that it causes mental health problems for people handling the evidence (this is a real thing, the toolbox killers disgusted one investigator so much he ended up killing himself because he was unable to live with even knowing the extent of what they did). This is the level where isolation from society should be less about making a holding space in which a person is given the tools and expectations to do better for themselves, and more about keeping this clear grave danger to society writ large quarantined from potential victims. If they seem to redeem themselves, great, they can keep being redeemed in their padded cell.
Happy probably isn’t the right word but then again neither is really I think any word that exists in the English language, I don’t think we have a word that encapsulates the mere lacking of pain and suffering without any positive feeling in its place.
The weight of the trees was so great that the ones on the bottom got squished and became coal. That’s where coal is from. Bonus fact: the whole time this was happening, sharks were hunting in the oceans. Sharks are older than trees and fungus!
