If it fits a strict definition, is it really punk at all?

Honestly shocked how long it took to see someone mention Black Flag. Good picks!

Highly recommend Wingnut Dishwashers Union.

Hell yes.

Good picks.

Thank you. I'm in a very anti-fascist mood and this is what I need.

In case you, like me, prefer to have depressing data in the form of a webcomic:

TBH I'm kinda over seeing AI generated content in discussions like this. It used to be novel and quite impressive, but now that I've seen this type of thing so many times and the reality of the negative impacts of LLMs has set in, it just doesn't hit for me at all. It's fun to speculate about an LLM writing TV scripts, but my worry is that this will become an actual thing in the near future: soulless generated "content" companies can sell us without having to pay hardworking and talented writers, and that shit just bums me out.

Anyway, nothing against you, and I don't fault you for posting it, but that's my thoughts. Maybe I'm in the minority though, who knows?

I appreciate the B99 reference, but the difference between animal products and the plant based alternatives is small and getting smaller by the day. At the end of the day, it's that difference in enjoyment you get that you are weighing against supporting inhumane practices like the one in this post

Wait until she walks in on him explaining the problem out loud to a rubber duck.

Most people eat animal products because they enjoy them more than the available plant-based alternatives.

Sony likes to pretend they're consumer friendly with stuff like this but it always comes with a huge caveat to try to push people into their closed ecosystem. Same idea as releasing PS Studios games on PC, but only just before the PS exclusive sequel comes out.

It's all fucked, from the way we've bred them, to how we treat them while they're alive, to how we kill them. To me, perhaps the worst part is we do it almost exclusively for enjoyment.

Best we can do is sell you a $200 piece of plastic that promises to but doesn't actually do these things, then automate your job away.

That's my usual go-to when I'm camping or at a BBQ and want a regular hotdog. I'm sure some people in this thread will tell me I'm wrong though and suggest I instead cook some beans on the campfire lol.

And even if they were treated well during their lifetime, the way we've bred them to produce enormous quantities of eggs, milk and meat would still result in short, horrific lives. It's atrocious any way you look at it.

Sometimes you just want something that tastes like a hotdog but didn't come from an animal.

Why not? The seasonings are what makes it taste like a hotdog and I'm not eating a hotdog because it's healthy. Let people enjoy things.

Sorry but I absolutely hate this take. I stopped eating meat about 15 years ago, but I grew up on meat-based dishes, and I occasionally like to eat stuff from my childhood, just without the meat. It literally doesn't affect you at all, but you still find the need to tell me that I'm wrong for eating what I enjoy.
