Another fantastic example of Poe's law, or US defaultism.
Why? Only because its a gigantic waste of water and usage of a lot of pesticides to keep those lawns green? Or is it because of the habitat destruction when they build the courses?
At very very least, UK police don't carry guns.
Four years too late.
Thank you for point this out! I'm in the same boat.
sideloading installing applications from any source in a device you own.
Ok, clear. So, there is nothing wrong with the language itself, but its a good vehicle and indication for AI slop. Like the em dash of programming.
Wait, the Librarian is also a doctor?
Genuine question from a guy that knows nothing. What is the issue with Rust?
I agree on the authenticity part. I don't think it should just be someone younger just because they are younger. They should also be progressive, authentic, and willing to put in the work. But I do think it's important to engage younger voters as well. Also in terms of long term strategy and collaboration, how much of a set back could Bernie passing away do?
I am not naive to think that we can end factory farming tomorrow. Like you said, it's something that will happen gradually (but not too slow I hope). I am not aware of any animal product for which there aren't already alternatives. Do you have examples?
As for the bivalve discussion, while they do not have brains, the do have a very limited nervous system that can react. For example, oysters close up in the presence of predators like crabs. I think it is an individual decision of where to draw the line in this circumstance. I do not eat bivalves.
As for the sustainability aspect, I do not think they would be more sustainable than plant based alternatives like soy and lentils, especially given the existing infrastructure. To harvest bivalves in the quantities needed if you removed all other animal for sources would likely be devastating for the ecosystem. Meanwhile, 83% of agricultural land use goes to animal feed. Yet animals account only for 37% of consumed protein and 18% of consumed calories. That means that if we convert all the land usage dedicated for animal feed to human crops, we would have more than plenty for all humanity without even using all the currently used land.

Don't get me wrong y'all, I love Bernie, but I think he's just too old. We need to transition to the newer generation.
