Enjoying meat and two veg on a daily basis is traditional.

Gays, is it healthy to eat fellas?

What did you think milf stands for?
- Comment on This seat reservation doesn't reserve any seats 3 days ago:
This is the UK. The train will be heaving, and those without a specific seat number reserved will likely have to stand unless they’re getting on at the first station and are early on to the train.
- Comment on This seat reservation doesn't reserve any seats 3 days ago:
Not common in the UK where this seat reservation ticket is from.
- Comment on This seat reservation doesn't reserve any seats 3 days ago:
I suspect it’s an “Advance” reduced fare ticket, which is only ever valid with a seat reservation, but either the seat was over specified (ticking all three of facing forwards, table seat, near the entrance, for example), or the train company continued to issue “Advance” tickets even after all the reservable seats are gone, which you could count as a dick move, or you could interpret as allowing more people to buy tickets at the reduced fare.
It could be that that was one of the least overcrowded trains scheduled on a day that’s expected to be very overcrowded indeed, and they’re trying to spread the no standing room pain across as many trains as possible. It’s certainly cheaper than putting on additional services.
- Comment on This seat reservation doesn't reserve any seats 3 days ago:
I am very familiar with this ticketing system, and if you don’t have a specific seat reserved, you’ll be very lucky to find a seat unless you’re getting on at the beginning of the train’s journey.
- Comment on This seat reservation doesn't reserve any seats 3 days ago:
Very, very incorrect. You’ll very likely be standing with this scenario. No seat number? No seat, unless you’re very very lucky, or you happen to be getting on at the train start station and it’s there very early and so are you.
- Comment on This seat reservation doesn't reserve any seats 3 days ago:
That’s in fact absolutely false.
- Comment on This seat reservation doesn't reserve any seats 3 days ago:
No, they still sell tickets without reservations and anytime tickets without limit. Your only guarantee is a numbered seat that you can claim. This has no such thing.
- Comment on Does the USA simply have no food safety standard at all? 3 days ago:
Wait till you hear the chlorine washed chicken news!
Chickens in the USA are typically “battery chickens”, which is actually about as brutal as it sounds. They’re kept in way too small spaces, unable to move around, and stand and sit in their own feces all day.
The chlorine wash helps them pass lab tests for lack of pathogens, because small amounts of chlorine get onto the test samples and kill the bacteria, but the chlorine is only surface deep. Salmonella is endemic, and many chickens’ undersides are actually rotting from being in their own filth all day. But if the bacteria test passes, it’s fine and the big corporation buying the cheap chicken doesn’t care.
Salmonella infections and food poisoning generally are relatively high as a result of these kind of profit-driven practices.

If you were prepared to ever admit you were wrong, you would have done it today.
- Comment on and we thought our thing with beans was bad 4 days ago:
You don’t half post some crazy stuff then refuse to admit you’re wrong.
- Comment on and we thought our thing with beans was bad 4 days ago:
Of course not. And your mischaracterisation of your comments and position and implausible assertions about them don’t successfully edit away your extensive fact-denying anti-vegan comment history.
- Comment on and we thought our thing with beans was bad 4 days ago:
Go on, admits-they’re-wrong person. You made an assertion. Prove it!
Link me to one comment where you backed down or admitted you were wrong!
Are you prepared to admit that male cows are killed for meat before adulthood, that the natural lifespan of cattle is so,ewhere inthe region of 15-20 years or that milk farming happens because there’s commercial demand for milk? I suspect not. Surprise me!
- Comment on and we thought our thing with beans was bad 4 days ago:
Lol.

Says the guy with the extensive anti vegan post history.
I think at times, in the heat of the moment, when someone calls you out on it, sometimes you nearly believe that, but anyone who reads your post history cannot.

You’re expecting me to believe implausible things that are inconsistent with your extensive anti vegan comment history.
- Comment on and we thought our thing with beans was bad 4 days ago:
You’re expecting me to ignore your post history in favour of your assertions, just like you expect me to ignore facts about dairy farming in favour of your biases. It’s not working.
- Comment on and we thought our thing with beans was bad 4 days ago:
Not by reading your post history, they can’t! Lol.
- Comment on and we thought our thing with beans was bad 4 days ago:
The evidence is your post history. You can’t hide your bias behind “you don’t know that”. Yes I do.
- Comment on and we thought our thing with beans was bad 4 days ago:
That’s not what you’re comment history says about you. At all.
- Comment on and we thought our thing with beans was bad 4 days ago:
You sure love to argue against posts that you perceive as supporting veganism. You spent a whole day arguing against “most male cows are killed for meat before adulthood”!
- Comment on and we thought our thing with beans was bad 4 days ago:
“flawed study” is @commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com for “I didn’t like the conclusions some researcher who spent a long time looking into all the scientific studies drew, so I’m going to cast vague doubts about it instead”
- Comment on and we thought our thing with beans was bad 4 days ago:
Apparently you’re not responsible for updating your knowledge from external sources or admitting you might have made a mistake or been incorrect. Not your style at all.
- Comment on and we thought our thing with beans was bad 4 days ago:
I’m going to repost what @ikidd@lemmy.world said:
I have 320 beef cows, and about that many steers/heifers waiting for market.
18 months on a steer is about 1200lbs, pasture fed then grain finished before slaughter. A non-castrated male can get to 2200lbs after 4-5 years. I’d call that an adult bull. They can breed successfully at damn near any age after 12 months, but I wouldn’t call them developed until about 30.
So full weight is more like 2200lbs, whereas at 18 months they’re only weighing 1200lbs, and aren’t fully grown or adult. Also you can look stuff up on the internet, it’s not hard, you don’t have to make stuff up just because you don’t like the facts.
It’s uneconomic to keep them till they’re adult, the fast rate of growth at the beginning is the profitable bit. Keeping them later costs farmers money they don’t need to spend and can reduce the price of the meat that they’re selling. It doesn’t make any sense financially to let them mature.

You sure love to argue against points that you perceive as supporting veganism, though!

I found the comment chain. Nuts. They always pick and the weirdest stuff to argue over.
