This shit ain't hard and people have been working on it for ages. Besides, dairy is a VERY small percent of total greenhouse gas emissions. No, milk doesn't leach hormones into you. No, extra steroids and shit for feed doesn't hurt anyone except MAYBE the actual farmer. Yes, better feed options are getting much more attention which lower N20 emissions. It's a shame I killed my reddit comments because I've had to have this conversation at least 40+ times over there lol.

The U.S. dairy industry is responsible for less than 2 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions in the country. U.S. dairy, per gallon, has the lowest carbon footprint of any country in the world.

The dairy industry aims to be carbon neutral by 2050. Here's what it means for farms

Of all GHG emission processes, the most studied and best under-stood is that of enteric CH4 emission. As illustrated, this is normally the largest GHG source on dairy farms.A need still exists for better understanding of dietary effects, and particularly for the effects of feed addi-tives that reduce CH4 production. Because this is a large GHG source, feed additives and diet may provide the greatest opportunity for mitigating dairy farm emissions and reducing the carbon footprint of milk.Relatively little is known about enteric N 2O emissions;this appears to be a small and relatively unimportant source, but more data are needed over a broad range in diets to ensure that a better model of this source is not needed.

The U.S. Dietary Guidelines has a few surprises – one of which was that children ages 4 to 18 are not eating the recommended daily intake of dairy products.

Want alternatives and reasons why dairy is important? There's a reason why being Vegan is so much more difficult than giving eggs, dairy, and fish a pass lol.

He'll need one to try to find a time when I'm not shoveling cheese down my throat hole while washing it down with milk.

Nah that's just a magical liopleurodon.

We're jumping back in the big Old Testament pile bois! They terk er fascism!!! Terturkerterfs!!!

You'll take cheese and 2% cow milk from my cold dead hands.

Aka literally any security, police, EMS, or really any first responder work.

Not on the internet with all them filthy libs.

Well who the hell wants to go through the effort of stealing that piece? Lol.

IP Laws need to change: Melancholy Elephants is a great Hugo Award winning short story about this train of thought.

What's he's saying is those ruling class shouldn't be getting it either because it's a silly concept lol.

Road crews don't get paid from tolls. Power plants don't get paid beaucoup. Etc. Etc.

The root issue is the company profiting endlessly or simply not paying appropriate wages. IP law absolutely needs to change.

You say that in jest but I know far more previous functional alcoholics who drink occasionally vs went teetotaler.

I spy with my little eye, someone who owns a Kia or Hyundai lol.

Too many people think growing shit also takes a lot of effort. Nah, literally just plant shit, weed once, then wait. You literally don't even have to water in most areas lol.

People think gardening or farming takes a lot of effort. It does if you want a pretty little area that's more eye pleasing. But if you just want food? Put seeds in. Wait. Food lol. Might not be the greatest harvest but any seed you'd buy at a store is hearty as fuck now.

Edit: Holy shit, yes guys. People on the internet live in the desert and even Antarctica too. My comment wasn't meant for you contrarian buttwipes lol. It was meant for anyone who doesn't live in a hellhole and has access to a little land lol. And even in those hellholes and places with shitty soil, it's just because you're trying to grow shit not meant for there lol.

I'd argue it's actually further in the opposite direction. I don't really think it's an unpopular position either when put to the test.

Humans like to qualify our soul with what essentially amounts to sapience. When do we become unique?

I'll be having another kid soon. Those first few months after birth they may as well still be in the womb for as much human understanding they have going on. While there is some, it's less human and more animal instinct. You really don't see true uniqueness come through until a year or longer. Let alone going the eugenics route where people agree being born without a brain or similar bouts of very removed cognitive function.

Why we give more more rights to a bundle of cells barely different than any other animal that young, over the 1-2 fully sapient parents that are LITERALLY part of the child. The mom even greater so during pregnancy, is right out.

What people don't like hearing, is that we are beholden to our biology. We grow attached to a fetus or baby before they become truly human and unique.

And it's good and just to provide all three parties protection. Because the bonds we form with family don't have to be strictly human. But providing more protection to a possible future entity with no current true will, with humanity in only the strictest genetic sense at that moment, and no sapience, over a mom, is insanity.

The way our laws and society work requires arbitrary lines in the sand though. This is why we apply liberal margins of safety to catch most everything on the bell curve. Rather than legislating using outliers and extremes as the norm like Republicans like to pretend are issues.

So many points of the topic are tried using the strictest sense of biological definitions like reflexes of a fetus, but completely ignore stuff like imprinting for the parents. Because in reality those protections for the fetus are also humanizing the parents loss if something happens. No parent wants to hear ope, try for another. So many try and try and unfortunately entropy is a bitch.

Thanks for the info. And no, you're just looking way too into what I said lol.

It legitimately looks sepia filtered. On a near similar photo showing damage which has pretty vibrant colors everywhere including the ocean. The ash and or filter makes much of the colorization look exactly like someone put a snap filter on it to make it look worse than the already terrible event it is, as if it needed a more grim look to popularize the picture. If they did end up applying a filter, I doubt it needed it, and may even look worse without one.

Trying to spread this weird implied false flag shit out of nowhere is literal insanity, Rashnet lol.

Yeah my main issue was the color of the ocean and that sunlight streak looking weird like someone used a sepia filter on it.

We haven't exactly been wanting for post wildfire pictures the last half decade and this is the first I've seen look digitally altered to make it look significantly worse. It has that look, and I've seen a lot of shops in my time.

Who knows. Might've just gotten a great macabre picture though.

Ahem. Suspiciously coincidental... Lol.

Old school scifi always has issues with weird tech hangups just throwing wrenches into huge foundational aspects of highly advanced civilizations. Thankfully most of them can be handwaved away.

Anyone expecting a very internal monologue driven book series to be translated well into the screen is just green though lol.

Remember when everyone complained about Ender's Game which was so similar with blatant storytelling in character thought? Versus the reality of what's being show in universe to a 3rd party observer? I can name very few internal monologue driven movies, let alone tv series that did well. I can't name a single one off the top of my head. Maybe Sin City and that's stretching.

You say that yet in reality, psychohistory dictates that they WILL be the universes most special people. They aren't mutually exclusive, they're patiently entwined. Not even getting into the latter books and how that shows the truth of it.
