  • Minus the “leftist” part of his argument, his assumption is correct. Reasonable laws and measures can be abused by power to oppress the people. Give the government an inch of power and they will take it a mile.

    Using grounds of “preventing the spread of rabies” authorities invaded this man’s home and killed his pets. Keep this in mind whenever giving the government any power. It is clear trump wants as much power as possible, even complimenting Hitler’s generals for their loyalty and obedience.

    This is probably a hot take but I have the opinion that nature isn’t any more merciful than we are. Existence is suffering and every animal ends up as feed for another.

    Is it better to be raised in horrid conditions in a farm, or to spend every moment of your life scavenging for food, running for your life, while probably infested with parasites just to be torn to pieces, alive, by a wolf or other predator?

    Humans at least have the decency to sedate or knock unconscious our food. Wild animals have to experience being eaten alive.

    Yeah exactly, people arguing whether dragon fruit or some shit is a “super food”. The super food is right in front of us, potatoes (and onions).

    What other food has been so vital to our survival that its disappearance could ravage a population (Irish potato famine)

    No offense to dragon fruit, blue berries or whatever exotic fruit, but if they went extinct, not that much could change.

    Thats why I feel so bad for that poster recently that said ai was the only friend he had and liked. He never understood what a friendship is. They aren’t just yes-men that approve of every single decision and beliefs. Their individuality and unique opinions keep your judgment clear and offer you different perspectives on matters.

    I feel like instead of a giant push for veganism, there should just be a push to eat what’s sustainable.

    Beef and dairy? Causes huge amount of greenhouse gasses and with current methods of production, it is not sustainable

    Blue fin tuna? These things have been way over fished and are endangered. Not sustainable, just try it once and move one with your life.

    Tilapia ? These things grow like weeds and can be fed efficiently. Go ahead, good source of protein for your diet.

    Honey? We need bees and they are an important pollinator for crops. Go nuts (just watch your sugar intake}

    Almonds? Takes huge amounts of water to grow and exacerbates droughts in the areas they are farmed. Eat less of these.

    Potatoes? Grow stupid easily in all sorts of conditions. Go nuts.
