But what symbol of Mama Tits is as iconic as the brick? Asking to add to my keyring

I can only see one man one jar and that is definitely not age appropriate for that kid

The way I see it is similar. If everyone stopped eating animal products today like turning off a faucet, literal millennia of selective breeding guarantees there will be animal suffering. A better option is to reduce overall consumption while also working towards reversing the changes we’ve made to the animals to turn them into products. At this time, dairy cows overproduce milk making milking a requirement for the animals health and safety. Poultry is a whole other discussion that isn’t quite as environmentally problematic but way more ethically problematic that requires a whole extra level of discussion towards improvement

Coming in quite hot and using a lot of assumptions, my friend

Is there a serious problem with the standard agricultural practices of large dairy farms of systematic forced pregnancy, either destruction of the calf or adding to the birth cycle once old enough, and other layers of mistreatment that should neither be condoned or continued? Absolutely and we should all strive to get the whole process abolished.

That said, most cow breeds overproduce milk for their calfs needs and it is unhealthy for them to stay full at all times. Milking them is a kindness and until we can undo eons of selective breeding, needs must.

I have an endless list of problems with the agricultural world and its practices but the reality is if we all went pure vegan right now, more animals would suffer in preventable ways. Tapering off the demands for the products of big agriculture, especially by forcing the market towards small farms treating the animals with kindness, and working towards reversing the changes we’ve caused in the breeds that make them more product than animal is the best route to end exploitation of animals.

If you care about animals, shaming people does fuck all. Educating them without assuming malice goes a whole lot farther towards your point of view. Also recognizing that literal millennia of selective breeding will not be undone in a single generation and the process of reversing is slow and fraught with its own challenges that need to be addressed.

Tldr: educate yourself beyond the rhetoric and hanlons razor. Idealism is great for concept but will fail on the reality when put into practice

Honestly some of my biggest fights are with browsers being ram hogs and edgewebview2 constantly shitting the bed causing excessive ram utilisation and various crashes to basic office applications

As someone who deals with various windows bullshit on the daily, 8gb for win11 is fine assuming you don’t use any applications. If you want to actually use the machine, 16gb is the absolute minimum

Not on the same level considering the difference in how the Eastern and Western languages are formed.

I’m generalizing a bit here into Western being Germanic or Latin based languages and Eastern being primarily Chinese.

Western languages typically use symbols that represent the component sounds of a language (phonemes) where Eastern languages use symbols for whole words or concepts (morphemes). So you would have a single symbol for house or tree instead of a series of symbols for the words.

This means that the word spelling would change in Western languages as the spoken language changes more rapidly and show a large difference between two closely related languages in their spelling for the same word.

Conversely, in Eastern languages, the spoken language is not as closely tied to the words used. (To translate into English as best I can: The character for house could be pronounced like house, home, building, cave, lean-to, castle, shed, etc depending on where it’s being said). So, you’d have, after a few generations, the same character pronounced two very different ways with two different meanings

As an English speaker who’s dabbled in other Germanic and Latin languages, absolutely. I dislike Dutch specifically because it will either start to read like English or German then fall off the deep end real quick.

Portuguese (at least Brazilian) looks and sounds like a mashup between Spanish and French.

This is kind of to be expected when you look at the history of how these languages evolved. The reason Japanese and Mandarin would be so easily confused is that the writing system was imported from China and there are a lot of words that either still look like the parent words or very similar. The same for the Latin and Germanic languages as well as their related offshoots. The history of invasion, language mixing, adaptations, and standardization has produced languages that are in various levels of mutual understanding.

It’s still how most things are made. Stateside, the prison system is the only slavery left but worldwide, there are many examples still going strong. It’s nowhere near as prevalent as it was though

Yeah, it’s 1-3 days before it and now that’s how I’ll remember when summer starts

We can’t have summer until we remember the injustice of slavery and the freeing of a quarter million slaves in one of the last bastions of that deplorable practice

Well, it’ll have to be thoughtfully arranged. They can’t just pop down to Joanns to pick up more so they can’t waste it. Sure you can get stuff online but you can’t feel if that batch will twist how you want it to. It’s just not the same

Why is this an onion article. He just does that

Oh, in this part of the world, it’s not a picture of the birth certificate but of their genitalia. Ignore the pedophilic over and undertones of requiring children to show their genitals to adults(read: men typically because women shouldn’t be in places of power, obvs) who can confirm that they appear to be the correct set for what is being requested. Fondling might be necessary to make sure they aren’t prosthetics.

This is serious discussion that my state has been trying to get into law to prevent people from using “the wrong bathroom” or “gaining an advantage in sports”. Fuck I hate this timeline

But you see, we have to heal and reach across the aisle or something

It’s the financial version of “if we stop counting COVID deaths, the numbers will go down”

But they super promised they never even heard of it or was going to use it. Then installed its writers in key positions. Purely by happenstance.

My best guess is also usually correct though so it just means I’m too lazy to link you the source

Who do they think they are, WotC?

I’m not saying I specifically went after someone with parental issues, general anxiety, and other hyper specific mental or developmental issues. I am saying that the type of person that, when combined, these things generally cause is the personality I am attracted to. There are other traits that add to that but physical attraction only gets you so far compared to personality and mannerisms. It’s just that I’m attracted to a specific flavor of broken that complements my own
