You're right, I didn't verify it. I also didn't email them about it or show my ass about it in public, just the discussion here where it was presented. Sounds like your research was inconclusive but thanks for looking into it.
The post we're commenting on they're saying milk causes autism, like out of their ass. Just like they did with vaccines. You say they aren't the villain, but making shit up about people with medical conditions doesn't make you a hero.
The people who want us to give up all meat and even not have pets operate the biggest kill-shelter in the United States. They're constantly preachy, condescending, they lie. Fuck em.
I watched most of the first episode but had to leave the couch for real world reasons (tragedy). So far it's fantastic! Verymuch not Star Trek which is a nice change and unusual for me. Thanks for the recommendation!
See, this is why people have problems with ML and hexbears. How will you ever bring the revolution when you can't stop screeching? Nobody wants that. Nobody wants to be around it. You'll be a revolution of one because nobody can take being around such an abrasive asshole long enough to even listen to their points, much less realize they might be right.
Imagine somebody walking down the street. They see a poster on the wall of the store they pass. It's a Starbucks. "Looks tasty, I'm cold" they say. Suddenly, you're there, shrieking about labor rights and fair trade. You are without a doubt correct, but you've scared the person and now they're annoyed. One of those drones inside with the green hats comes out and sees the situation. They ask the customer to come inside where they're safe from you, and now they're buying overpriced drinks from exploited workers produced by exploited farmers etc.
All because instead of talking to someone like a human, you had to be edgy and witty. You treat real humans the way tv characters talk to each other. On TV the wittiest oneo-liner wins. In real life you have to show a little human compassion, even if you're faking it or else you alienate who you're talking to and are left in an echo chamber, alone, or in the case of our imagined scenario the employees may call security or police (agents of oppression, and they'll probably buy coffee too) on a person harassing potential customers.
Survivor(star)ship bias: There are only episodes about minor issues with the inertial dampeners because major issues with the system would be very short and messy, and not make for good archival training footage for cadets or whatever the Watsonian reason for our Doyalist TV show may be.
Love how at the very idea of somebody disagreeing with you, you start throwing up all sorts of topics you know are hot buttons just so you can preemptively slam anyone who has a different perspective than you. Rather than taking a second to teach a single thing about the topics you claim to care about you just flash them like political merit badges to prove you're in the in-group, and anybody who doesn't know exactly what one of those things are, or what you think is the truth about it, is worth dismissing out of hand. It's just a secret handshake that if people don't parrot it back to you they're not worth debating. You were never here for healthy debate though. You don't care about convincing anyone or advancing your causes or ideas. You're here for the badges.
Now, I'm a meat eater but man, that's sad. A being calls for help. Another being hears it, musters the helpers, the helpers go to help, find the being, distraught at the forceful removal of her babies, and whelp, that's farm life. Have a good day.
People have been interested in civilization since the dawn of civilization, dude. Even when it collapses it regrows. We're naturally social creatures and ideas don't die. Even in times of decline people aspire to do better.
Medieval European peasants knew what Roman aqueducts were for. They knew that civilization had fallen, but they made a new one and eventually it regrew to the point of the previous Roman empire, and then beyond, through ups and downs, until now.
Not everyone remains interested the whole time, but it does carry forward.
Preventive maintenance is a thing. As long as we keep wanting to work towards a better system we will move towards a better system. You say it will eventually fall. How far is eventually? I bet we could push it out til at least the heat death of the universe if we tried doing something other than robbing one-another.
What seems like a wild assumption is that an ad in one language would be designed with what another language might think of the ad in mind. Why would a Chinese person care about a Mexican ad for Coca-Cola? You've found something to enjoy being upset at.
I just wanted to say that regardless of our opinions I was sort of rude in my phrasing. Sorry for that.
