Cotton takes a LOT of water to grow. And takes up farmland that could grow food.

Most of your clothes are artificial fabrics these days. Or blended

It would be interesting to see the first bipartisan riot.

Yup. It attacks one of their core beliefs and makes them so damn mad.

Bob Altemeyer explains the phenomenon well in The Authoritarians. It’s literally how their brains are wired. The book is free here: https://theauthoritarians.org/

Yes. Half the country thinks Trump is for the little guy and Harris is an elitist asshole.

Trump was born rich. Harris grew up middle class and a member of two minority groups. The problem is the democrats are shit at messaging. It’s why Walz calling republicans weird took off. Democrats don’t usually come up with sound bites like that.

It’s more for things like the batgirl movie that is finshed but will make more money in tax write offs to never release it. But if they lose ad revenue from removing a back catalogue, that may also let them post a loss and claim tax breaks.

The simple answer to this is to change the tax code to not allow for write offs for completed projects. And to shorten how long copyright lasts (fuck Disney so much for that one)

I would assume a company such as sony or nintendo lobbied for that law.

Reality is you are not going to convince the entire world to turn to a vegan lifestyle. Period. And if you attack people for not wanting to change, you are going to make them resist that change more.

We don’t have the economics for everyone to suddenly become vegan - it’s fucking expensive. We also don’t have the nutritional education for everyone to suddenly become vegan. People have to be willing to research that in order to not malnourish themselves. And most people are simply too lazy to do that.

Not to mention the massive amounts of food deserts in the country that would make finding vegan options for a fully vegan diet impossible.

Asking everyone in the world to live off vegetables and supplements is insane. We are not there as a society yet. And I have no intention of driving a hummer. It’s too damn expensive.

Just like eating a proper vegan diet is if you’re actually trying to meet all your nutrients.

I don’t hate vegans in general. I hate it when they prostelytize at me and try to shame me into being vegan. And this it the problem many people have. There is a vocal minority of vegans that will attack others for not sharing their lifestyle (I’m looking at you, PETA). I have no interest in giving up meat. I will pick more sustanable meat sources sure, but i will not be attacked for my choices.

Don’t come after me, I won’t come after you. I likely will even try to bring a vegan option to a pot luck for you.

Only for them to be destroyed in another 20 years by the rich

Nah. Break out the guillotines, it worked well for the French.

Except a regular deli actually puts meat on their subs instead of lightly rubbing the sub with a piece of turkey then filling it with lettuce.

Yeah but there’s no way a judge will follow that reasoning. The response to the arbitration argument was that the argument was “unconscionable” and “no reasonable person” would think signing up for Disney Plus means they can’t file a wrongful death suit for a restaurant that has nothing to do with Disney Plus.

Also the lawyer who made the arbitration argument just got his client so much bad PR that i’m sure Disney Plus will take a hit over it.

Because doctors live on coffee

They say twitter shows public voting but I thought Musk just anonymized likes on twitter because it was getting transphobes in trouble?

I use my wristwatch all the time to take dogs’ pulses.

Having a cell phone next to a grumpy dog is asking for a broken cell phone. I’m sure people in other fields need wristwatches as well.

Just because you don’t use them don’t mean they’re not useful.

So since you don’t use something no one should learn it? Crap take.

Daily. There’s one in my kitchen and one at my office.

Feels more like we should teach kids better rather than remove the clocks.

Don’t forget these companies didn’t exist before the late 80’s and credit worked just fine without them.
