I think the line is kind of arbitrary where people care for animals in regards to how equal to treat them to humans. Like you can argue an ant also "experiences the world", hell even coral are technically animals. I dont think that reasoning works unless you literally think every insect is equivalent to a full grown human--which is ludicrous to basically anyone today and we will just never agree if thats the case.

I think if someone is there torturing a cow just for amusement then that is obviously sadistic and wrong, but if someone is raising them as a livelihood or to feed their family then I dont think its wrong to one day eat them.

Also this is coming from someone who loves animals and would care for injured crows and things. I've grown attached to chickens and named them--I still went and wrung out their neck when it was time for them to reach my family's dinner plate.

Like you can raise animals humanely, and I believe you can do so sustainably in places where people have deemed unfeasible for planting crops.

I'm pretty sure a more useful measure of this is calories per unit of water than straight weight/mass. Which tbf is a metric meat will probably still be less efficient by.

There's also like multiple factors of this, if you're growing meat at industrial scale then you are farming crops specifically to feed the cattle so its doubly wasteful; but not everything is like beef, goats grazing on mountains where you can't plant crops easily can feed a family with minimal labor, and they produce more than just meat. Ideally you wouldnt be raising cattle for just the meat.

Tbh the amount of bystanders astounds me, like I cannot imagine being there, seeing that guy flying kick someone with their back turned and not immediately grabbing and pummeling him.

This is coming from someone who doesnt think rioting as protest is wrong--but it's really obvious why the videogame store is being looted/vandalized instead of things that actually matter.

Ima be honest, I use it like all the time and I've never had a problem with it. Especially to the degree that you're saying you had in just 10 min.

If youre fluent with Office tools then you should be able to use it.

The only single thing I noticed explicitly that bugged me was it not opening template files as a new file so if I saved it would save over the template.

You can argue that the math editor kind of sucks, which fair, if I was doing a discrete mathematics paper I'd be doing it in LaTeX which has like decades of modules and academia behind it

The only thing I think is reasonable is in cities like SF, the HoA pays for elevators to operate and usually a full-time security guard(s). Its annoying that if I get a condo that I have to pay an HoA fee (some are insane and basically just rent) but if its reasonable I can see it being worth it.

But in suburbs? I genuinely have no idea why I would want to be in one. And the fact that youre forced to pay dues just because the previous owner of the home youre trying to buy was in it is wild to me

Pay off the remainder of my car, and then my mother's debt and wipe my hands of it all and disappear into my own life

What a horrible day to have eyes

It was okay, but it flopped hard because they randomly decided to do a genre change.

If you liked the first one, there is no real carry over besides like "oh these are the characters we know"

It tries to be witty and humorous at times, sometimes its clever but it ends up just being kind of an average action/thriller movie--but that is a big negative when people expected a good horror movie.

It's a shame because the first made such a return on investment that the second one had an increased budget but the creative decisions kind of doomed it.

Most Christian countries are not really Christian and filled with people who are Agnostic, Atheist, or just "spiritual" (Which basically means nothing/agnostic)

I even meet "Christians" that know literally nothing about the Bible; I found out recently that my grandmother who is always talking about God, is literally illiterate and knows maybe the story of the Virgin Mary and that's it.

Also, the 100% God and 100% Man thing is a debate that has churches quarreling to this day.

From a logical point of view it's nonsensical and from a faith point of view it's up to interpretation depending on what the stance of your denomination is--which in my experience, most people dont even know to which they belong.

I literally never mentioned those specific states, I just cited an actual example that happened where the Supreme Court refused to rule on a dispute between States because they knew that the federal government couldn't enforce anything

Also it sounds like you are implying I'm with those states that I'm judging and saying can't be trusted...which I'm not and is the whole point of my comment, that you cant trust those states.

And if you arent implying that then I'm failing to see what the point of your reply is. I'm citing a specific point in history, it's not even subjective it's just a thing that happened.

Im referring to the early days of the union where the federal government was too weak to stop things like that

CGPGrey's video on Statue of Liberty talks a bit about it

I used to be big on States' Rights because I thought it made more sense for people to make rules more specific to them but then I realized the only reason politicians push that is to do whack shit like overturn abortion and now some are even arguing we should go back to when women couldn't work. If I was the president and I cut back rules so States could decide I guarantee laws like that would be passed within a week.

The more I read about it the more im glad that the federal government is strong enough to stop States from extorting or attacking each other (like how New York would basically bully New Jersey). I just hate that every election seems to be between morally bankrupt nepo-babies and it's been going on so long that the corruption would literally need a dictator to pull an El Salvador to fix
