On a dog.

You’re not wrong, but think of the number of people this brought joy to.

Is it wasteful? Sure. Is it a bit of a face slap to people living paycheck to paycheck, assuming they’re even that well off? Sure. But is it a net negative? Who can say? Unlike most fuck-you-money splurges, this one probably at least lightened some people’s days for a moment, and that’s not nothing.

Nothing wrong with that guy. Awareness is a good tool for everyone to have.

Pointing out what it is doesn’t necessarily carry judgment with it, it’s just facts, and you can use them however you like.

Dhis fuckeeng guy.

Why is it brown

There are ways…

My point, if I have one, is that it’s trendy for a vegan to object to eating sterile eggs even from well-treated chickens, but hardly anybody wants to talk about the way too many dogs are treated, just as a manner of course.

Yes, many people treat their dogs well, or think they do, but they’re still routinely confined, leashed, fed cheap crap food, left alone in the yard with no stimulation for most of the day. They’re bred to serve and treated like furniture or at best interactive toys or escorts to make their owners feel good.

Nobody wants to talk about how miserable most of these animals probably are for large parts of their existence, because they wag their tails and jump excitedly in the rare moments when their people actually give them attention. Hardly anyone wants to give a thought to what an existence as a dog muct actually be like. And that’s for the well-treated ones. There are just as many or more who are penned in tiny yards or otherwise mistreated, but don’t you dare criticise dog owners or the industry for turning a blind eye so long as the dog food money keeps flowing.

Don’t mind me, it’s just a personal bugaboo of mine. Some dog-human relationships are perfectly reasonable. Zero tolerance veganism as a moral stance is just as mysterious to me as my opinion of dog culture probably is to you. I’ve known chickens who are taken better care of than most of the dogs in my neighborhood, and it seems strange to object to eating their eggs, unless you have a specific dietary reason for it.

You may be overestimating how many Ram drivers actually use their truck for anything besides peacocking. Maybe it’s a regional thing, but around here I see more of them without a scratch on the bed than hauling or towing anything.

Idunno, the pillory could get pretty brutal if the crowd was sufficiently riled up. It wasn’t uncommon for people to bring stones or bricks.

Funny to be more concerned about the chickens than the animal enslaved for life and bred to feign affection.

But then it’s typical for rationality to go out the window for some people when dogs are concerned.

Average Ram owner: WTF is this nerd shit?

Have they tried a Lysistrata yet?

Religion is exploited by actual sociopaths to justify their behavior.

And can you blame them? The opposition infrastructure is so incredibly overbuilt that it’s like trying to chip away at a wall when they keep taking away your tools.

Been waiting for this one to appear.

He clarified his words after some people naturally started to take it a little too literally, but I don’t think he needed to.

Whoever that “anonymous exec” was who said they wouldn’t even start to negotiate until strikers started losing their homes deserves to be pilloried.

Change is slowwwww, my brother. It’s rare that an actual upheaval happens and things shift noticably overnight.

It is and always has been a long, long struggle, and there is no final victory, only temporary triumphs that must be vigorously defended, because the enemy will never stop trying to take back every inch.

You know why they think that. They believe, truly, that God made the world for man to exploit and use up, and anyone who says otherwise is spouting the Devil’s lies.

Some will claim to believe that it doesn’t matter one way or the other, that this is the only life we have, and that there’s no point in sacrificing our own joy for the future of others. This apathetic stance is held by many, but it is wielded as a shield and reinforced by those who believe that Earth is just a toy for us to have fun with and break, but won’t say it openly.

Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, this conflict is a religious one, and anyone who denies that is only enabling the wingnuts destroying this planet.

Warner is a lot like like Disney only shittier.
