I agree, theres plenty of nice nature paths sandwiched between suburban sprawl, and they most certainly get cell service.
I think we need a new word for online dating versus dating folks you meet in your community. Maybe edating or something. I’d personally argue online dating is inherently dangerous for at least one party, regardless of circumstance, so whether its a hike in the woods or meeting at a coffee shop makes no difference.
Online dating is equivalent to blind dating essentially.

Not necessary with the candidates and policies the democrats are doomed to follow.

Noones talking about opiates though?
Can you post a source about acetaminophen building up over time the way you describe? It seems unlikely with such a short half life but I could be wrong.

Oh no, what will I ever do if I can’t keep buying stuff I dont need.
“Americans might have trouble expressing greedy tendencies under a Trump presidency.”
The entitlement of americans is absurd. Palestinian children are killed with made in america bombs while our population weeps over its loss of made in china electronics.
Clearly the american dream is dead if you can’t replace your computer every year.

Some people want more expensive shit as long as its made in america or with american goods. Thats the point of a tariff.

Yep, everyone who lives in the less populated areas is miserable and bored constantly. Those poor people, so sad. They should be more like you.
- Comment on Houses in my area increases 82% in just 4 years 2 weeks ago:
The main downside is you have to pay closing costs to move. That means you should plan to stay in the home at least a handful of years or else you’d lose money likely. But with the market the way it is, get a house ASAP cause its going up like a roller coaster.
I bought mine 5 years ago and its gone up 50% in value since then.

Not what I said but sorry I scared you.

Sort of reductive.
Violence is bad in America. People feel it appropriate to start arguments about politics in public with strangers. Those people are allowed to have guns on them and in their cars. An angry person with a gun on their hip is just different.
Thats just as a man too, women deal with worse, and I would argue even have a reason to need a gun themselves in some situations.
Its violent all around here and it comes from regular ass people, like your neighbors.

Yeah I don’t mean to imply that coaches or parents have no affect, just that they are commonly overstated.
Unless you happen to be the coach of my cities football (us) team, then that coach is a psycho and is single handedly responsible for losing last playoffs.
I guess thats sort of like a bad parent who tries to force stuff on their kids.
- Comment on Get good. 4 weeks ago:
Thats all well thought out and such but anyone with more than one kid will tell you that nature has a huge hand in it. You could treat the children the same and they can learn wildly different rates and have diverging interests.
This idea the parents take most of the responsibility for the achievements of their children is absurd. Its just as absurd as a head coach being praised for a victory in sports.
You don’t praise the guard rails in bumper bowling for the score at the end, thats the bowler. The guard rails just kept some of the worst outcomes from happening.

Baby talk is garbage for communicating but it can be very funny for the baby and the parent.
- Comment on Get good. 4 weeks ago:
I always thought baby talk was just to get the baby to laugh at something silly.

I didnt know you’d think it was so wild. I guess we have plenty of land left tk go around for a while?
- Comment on Honey 4 weeks ago:
Well not seeing the result personally isnt exactly the same as hopes and prayers but I do see why thats at least reasonable.
- Comment on Honey 4 weeks ago:
First of all, plenty of vegans are activists, doing the stuff you are talking about. They aren’t mutually exclusive.
The problem is people wanting to be animal rights activists but giving no moral consideration to animals and doing absurdly hypocritical things like contributing to the system they stand in opposition of.
Apparently you just want to be able to eat guilt free meat? Seems to be what you accomplish with your “framework” of being anti vegan, anti factory farm, but pro eating meat.
- Comment on Honey 4 weeks ago:
We could slaughter them in more pain free ways, but it doesnt’t change that they don’t consent to be killed. Thats sort of a non starter for vegans.
They already are supposed to have clean living conditions and there are penalties for animal abuse, they just are rarely reported and punished.
I think the problem I have with regulation is it rarely seems to work out when we do get regulations. They are written deceptively, and then aren’t enforced.
I suppose that doesnt mean good regulation is impossible but its part of my reluctance.
- Comment on Honey 4 weeks ago:
When we run out of land, won’t we have to replace land used for meat production for land for plant production so we can continue feeding an expanding world?
- Comment on Honey 4 weeks ago:
They were after the pandemic, theres a big dropoff during covid but I didnt want to use it because obviously the causes weren’t regulation or vegans.
I was mainly pointing out that its possible for the rate of increase to decrease, although I understand I can’t prove its from a change in demand.
If there isnt proof for any of the solutions we’ve talked about why shouldn’t I just do all of them?
- Comment on Honey 4 weeks ago:
If we ran out of new land to use wouldnt it plateau?
Isnt the line going up constantly evidence of constant addition of new land to hold more animals?
- Comment on Honey 4 weeks ago:
I wonder what new laws and penalties would get passed if people started essentially raiding factory farms en masse.
I will give you credit for making me consider a third option here, although it seems to have a scaling issue too.
- Comment on Honey 4 weeks ago:
In those areas it likely will. I doubt it will take the line down on your graph either though.
Who knows what the tipping point is. Maybe China publishes a guideline similar to that and it does change things enough to show it on the graph.
- Comment on Honey 4 weeks ago:
If popular opinion is what leads to regulation, then how is it best to go about changing public opinion so more and more people are for regulating the meat and dairy industries?
There are vegan activists who expose things about those industries that aren’t public knowledge, and that seems to move public opinion to a degree, at least locally/regionally.
Right now regulating meat and dairy is a deeply unpopular opinion no matter which party you look at, at least in the US.
- Comment on Honey 4 weeks ago:
Probably easier just to ask what reforms you do support, or at least you think would be effective?
- Comment on Honey 4 weeks ago:
If we are bringing these animals into the world we are responsible for them. Thats why I bring up natural life, they aren’t in the wild and we are talking about domesticated animals.
As long as they are in our care the rules are different, as far as I see it.
If regulation passed we wouldnt just kill all the remaining animals, we would have to do something for the remainder of their lives until their numbers dwindle.
- Comment on Honey 4 weeks ago:
The way I see it, demand and supply are separate things that have a single relationship between them. Changing things on one side will likely affect the relationship but its not easy to tell how when both sides are complex.
Affecting supply or demand could work, and I would recommend people do both if possible. I would put more weight on being vegan than trying to affect regulation though.
I would however consider it a waste of energy to work towards more humane slaughter as thats only one part of the suffering the animals endure.
I think if you want to focus on animal activism with regards to factory farms then it would be better served on stuff like minimum life spans or ending forced impregnation and the removal of newborn animals from mothers.
But again, even if we improve those things greatly it would still be inhumane treatment and I would still be vegan. I would be more comfortable if regulations like those did reduce the line on your graph.
I do think if we had to permit the animals to leave at least half of their natural lives or maybe 75% before slaughter, it would bottle neck production and tank it.
I guess I just am more sold on the vegan idea than the regulation idea, but both are completely unproven and have very low odds of success in the near future.
- Comment on Honey 4 weeks ago:
Its pretty minor. The real gains are countries setting their national policy around diets that are half or more plant based. That sends a clear message about what role meat should have in a healthy diet, and will affect the most people.
You could call that regulation I suppose.
