Amazing work. This is for sure the video.
- Comment on Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth? 1 week ago:
What does what your ancestors did have to do with what we now know about modern factory farming? The question was about still eating beef despite what we know today, what does that have to do with your ancestors? Is your comment not the very definition of a strawman?
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 week ago:
I’ve never once in the last decade seen a single vegan post other than recipes. What I do see is constant posts about how “vegans are always throwing it my face/holier than thou”, “I’m gonna eat extra meat because vegans make me feel bad”. I really don’t think vegans are the problem, I think these fools fall for every single piece of beef industry propaganda that comes across their screens.

Dumb fucks who fall for propaganda on every platform.

I don’t know if it’s obscure, but Psycho Goreman is a fantastic movie and I can’t recommend it enough. Anything by Steven Kostanski, really.
Also Termitator if you speak French and can manage to get a copy is hilarious.

I recommend this often and my girlfriend and her sister still think I’m a psycho for not only enjoying, but oft recommending, this funny-ass film.
The potato scene kills me, and the car wash screaming, and Hootie-tootie-disco-cutie.

Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS
I always get a kick out of seeing this one mentioned. My friend’s uncle was an extra in that one and my friend’s mom lives telling people, punching the story with the title of the film.

Listen, he should’ve at least offered to kill you first. That’s the problem with billionaires these days; no honor.

That’s the problem, it isn’t delicious. That’s why they keep coming up with schemes to use them as a protein additive, like “cricket flour”.
I’ve actually had a bunch of delicious insect based dishes, if you’re open minded about it they aren’t all that hard to find. Asian cooking is where they’re at.
I raise lamb free range on pasture, no inputs other than grass, and that’s what I’ll be eating for the foreseeable future. Let me tell you, that’s delicious.
That’s cool, I grew up raising steer and sheep, I’m also aware of the environmental issues. I also still eat them although I’ve cut it down drastically.
I would encourage anyone else concerned about factory farming to find a small producer, most of us will gladly even give you a tour and let you see our herds, we love to show off healthy animals on green grass. And we’re often cheaper than the supermarket these days, no greedy middlemen to mark it up.
I personally know many small producers, slaughter and dress my own meat, and I still think that, environmentally consciously, we should all switch to a mostly plant based diet and explore meat alternatives without fear.

Fuck billionaires, if eating bugs is delicious and cuts emissions from factory farming, I’m in. The environment doesn’t fit into some dick measuring contest with the rich and they don’t decide my moral position.

Or we move on with our lives and accept that fruit don’t have to be sweet and vegetables don’t have to be savory. Life is beautiful and nature constantly challenges expectations.

I switched to weighing everything a few years ago and I when I moved I didn’t have to have a set of spoons, dry cups, wet cups. I just use the scale.

This is the 19yo version of Im14andthisisdeep. Im19andthisis… I can’t quite find the term for what this is, but I feel like these are some pretty basic 19yo emotions.

Right, so forgive them and make education free. Gotcha, I’m with you.

And?
Right wing think tanks exist specifically to make you feel like you have data to back up your claims. They were invented for it. Look into the history, try changing your position when faced with facts or faced with lack of foundation for your arguments.
- Comment on How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house? 5 weeks ago:
Do you have a source to back that up? I’m having trouble finding anything that says you have to be out less than 15 minutes before frostbite kicks in. It’s like saying you’ll get frostbite in your hands if you hold some ice for a minute.
- Comment on How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house? 5 weeks ago:
Yeah I go out in the yard with the dog or take out the trash in winter here in Montreal. Granted it’s a minute here or there but it’s true. Not calling anyone weak or anything but it’s just a little snow or cold.

Probably a Wasgij! They are awesome! Sometimes it’s like you described, sometimes the box cover is people reacting to the scene you have to put together in the puzzle, sometimes you uncover a mystery, they’re sick!

Montrealer here, I just got back from my first trip to NYC, maybe I went to the wrong places but these people were all sweet and soft spoken, maybe not chatty in particular but far from rude and all the other shit I’ve heard about New Yorkers. I and my fellow Canadians are definitely more rude and loud than this.
I saw an old meme from the second world war that described people from different countries and Canadians were described as hot headed and I can definitely see that image when compared to the Americans I’ve met in American cities.

Just rude, really.

I’m sorry, calling Robertson “square” is insulting to a superior screw design and fuck you for even pretending it isn’t.

I feel like there’s enough room for both the metric system and not invading countries in this big ol’ world.

Why are Americans afraid of real units of measurement?
