We obviously need to re-think something. Prisons are not effective for rehabilitation and barely effective for threats of punishment. There are also way too many people who are threats released while people who aren't really are incacerated... like, someone who has been stealing cars, mugging people, attacking people at bus stops should be held vs. someone who say, did some financial fraud. It's all over the place though.
I was a vegetarian for 7 years. I had some odd problems with food that I couldn't figure out, that's how it started, then I decided eating meat was just kind of weird. I got all sorts of shit about this over the years from people who apparently were offended or threatened by it. One friend's wife told me one day "Ooohh so you do that because [withering mocking tone] you care so much about all the little animals?" Like... there would be something wrong with that if I did??
This site, fwiw, has the US at #1 per capita. This one has the same info you supplied. Who knows, I guess. Either way, there really should be more political talk about this. What gets me is how uneven sentencing is - not just from state to state or judge to judge, but based on types of crime. A sex predator, for instance, should be way past someone selling small amounts of crack or whatever.
From what i understand just a diet more rich in beta carotene will produce a richer looking yolk. Seems like the chicken’s lifestyle would have other effects, too. And yeah, in the US eggs come throughly washed, which removes a layer on the outside that would otherwise keep them fresh at room temp. I think the salmonella thing is more related to the sanitary conditions of the farm - I.e. whether the chickens are infected with salmonella. Farms have cleaned up in that respect over the past couple decades and it’s much less prevalent than it was at one time.
Plenty of people in cages in the US - I think we have the highest or one of the highest incarceration rates in the world? So that’s cool but not a situation unique to Syria or something.
Not quite the same, as we were only
together a short time and kids were not involved, but I had a gf who went super loony with “shadow people” and ideas that aliens were after us. She had a serious stroke about a year after we split up and I wonder whether her mental break while we were together was somehow related.
I got this from a classic boomer dad of a girlfriend, about chicken meat. He said free range chicken was “more gamy” and he preferred uh…. Chickens raised in tiny cages who can’t move around, apparently. Ok psycho.
Well, no. They might see 5 minutes of packaged and processed snippets a day and maybe glance at a headline, if they read or watch news it’s stuff like celebrity gossip.
I voted in Colorado a couple years back. I had moved here several months before. I had all the documents to prove residency. 3 months after the election, I got a letter saying that a (conservative asshole) group had challenged my vote and it was thrown out, and was told I could go to court and prove I was legal to vote but also if I did so it threatened me with jail or fines if it didn’t work. It was 3 months after the election and it had all been counted already, so why tf would I do that?
The submarine thing is still one of the most ridiculous ideas I’ve ever heard. The cave is in some places so narrow divers had to remove their tanks. How would an imaginary submarine based on a space X rocket make it through?
