I pull uuuuuup

Don't conflate the US legal system with a justice system. The goals and implementations of the two are radically different

The conflict itself is really not that complex. It's yet another example of runaway apartheid. The complexity comes from the global power and military positioning considerations for the US and its western alies. But that's not really related to the conflict itself, but rather to the bloodthirsty maw of imperialism

Are we angry bc he shared the stage with a xenophobic white supremacist or because he spoke at a really in support of a genocidal and repressive apartheid state that murders children?

Fuck Isreael

1990s were a magical time indeed

Hey, runescape is still going strong friend

True they can't throw everyone into solitary, but they can enact a lockdown which comes with its own particular cruelties and inequities

+1 for proper construction

They can't even work with their own damn party. They stand for nothing

You are spitting hot fire here. Can't wait to give that potato method a try!

It's such a farcical argument. Along with being able to get it through a variety of foods, as you've mentioned, the supplements themselves are extremely affordable and quite easily obtainable. I supplement with the Live Conscious B12 drops once a week and at my last 6month blood test (get them regularly to ensure no vitamin deficiencies and other issues) the doc actually recommended I stop the drops since my levels were in the too high category 😆. And that's from once a week supplementation, along with just eating a diverse and nutrient rich diet as you mentioned.

Yeah, I hate both of those arguments because they're always presented as a logical "gotcha" when in reality they're nothing but appeals to "common sense," which of course is a cultural construct and not at all "common." The B12 argument in particular I've heard from people who know someone who knows someone who heard from someone that you get "sluggish" and have "brain fog" if you go vegetarian/vegan. Aside from the hearsay nature of it, often these are people who jumped feet first into the lifestyle without doing even the most cursory and basic of research and treated it as a "diet" rather than a lifestyle shift. Of course not supplementing B12 and living off pasta and processed frozen foods and junk food will leave you feeling like shit. I've been on the path for 4 years now and have never had a single deficiency or problem. But it takes planning and understanding your body's nutritional needs, and for a lot of people that's an ask too far. Theyre happy to ignore the suffering of animals and the horrors of the insudustrial meat/dairy production system if it means not having to make the smallest of changes.

I'm seeing a ton of these video YouTube self promotion posts. What happened to just writing this shit down in a human-consumable format and saving us all 20 minutes of scrolling through your SEO/YouTube crap?

I hit the same thing when I'm connecting to certain sites through CloudFlare via VPN

Eat the politicians and the rich.

Just because something is natural does not make it the optimal or best choice. It's natural for us to shit in the woods but I don't see many people arguing we should do away with toilets. As for B12, there are plenty of vegan sources and supplements readily available

"Dragons of Eden" by Carl Sagan and "Caffeine" by Michael Polan are some of my favorites for thought provoking biological and sociological tie-ins. I also recently wrapped up "Revolutionary Suicide" by Huey P. Newton and it was eye opening in how not only prophetic he was but how the same issues are still in play some 60 years later.

Fuck the police
