You mean cramped, close quarters and stressed animals aren’t conducive to stopping the spread of illness? /s

FFS I’m not vegan but yeah that’s fairly obvious

“Getting repeatedly punched in the eye sockets by a high-powered handheld device is a bad idea” should be the default, but here we are.

I’m not even sure how it sounds appealing to be honest.

Current markets seem happier to let poor folks suffer, unfortunately. And generic meds that are produced in countries with little regulation/oversight especially aren’t going to get magically reformulated to needed specifications if they lower profit margins. Even if there was market pressure, the medical solutions would likely be restricted to those who could afford name branded, specially formulated medications.

“Red meat” is annoyingly misleading.

It’s anything with alpha-gal, including a lot of medications and vegan ingredients. This isn’t “exciting” or “ethical.” To anyone excited about this (as I’ve seen in many threads regarding this) - push regulations on industries if you want animal ethics but don’t celebrate life-threatening allergies; you come off as a dick.

China’s railway infrastructure improvement is so sick.

I wish it would spark similar in the US 🥲

Now we wait for them to be put in car headlights.

Ah yes, the thing I’m most concerned about giving me cancer: toast.

Not the microplastics, environmental pollution or stress of living in the collapse of modern civilization 🫠 /s

It’s not new either. Iirc certain books were fully banned in Boston (amongst other places) up until the mid-20th century.

A country founded on bass-ackwards puritans hellbent on making others suffer isn’t going to magically lose that DNA. Just remember they got kicked out of England because they were antisocial controlling assholes, not because they were “persecuted.”

Kind of. Scaling back your calorie intake while getting enough macro/micronutrients is a tricky balance, but doable (if you’re going from a very high weight to something in a middle body mass range).

I’m also okay with Mexico and Canada each annexing about half the US to stop this insanity.

With each passing day I’m happier I got a Steam Deck recently.

I love my Switch but I can’t stomach giving them any more money directly. Second hand unless and until they get more consumer friendly (not holding my breath).

Per Wikipedia:

Despite being counted as one of the 28 cities of Sub-Roman Britain,[5][6] it seems that after the Romans left Britain in 410 Durovernum Cantiacorum was abandoned for around 100 years, except by a few farmers and gradually decayed.[11] Over the next 100 years, an Anglo-Saxon community formed within the city walls, as Jutish refugees arrived, possibly intermarrying with the locals.[12] The town’s new importance led to its revival, and trades developed in pottery, textiles, and leather. By 630, gold coins were being struck at the Canterbury mint.

Huh, I would have guessed “fire” instead of “abandoned for a century.” Neat.

I’m USian, so if it’s any consolation it’s relevant to me lol.

Pretty obvious Trump is Putin’s puppet, anyhow.

“Nation of people getting screwed over by genocidal, repressive, oligarch warhawks is getting tired of the bullshit” should have been common sense, but selfish pricks gonna selfish prick.

This would make a kickass album cover

This is also how I feel.

Getting different perspectives from different circles instead of being migrated to one dominant website culture is a big part of why I haven’t moved to piefed, since it seems like that semi-forced centralization is part of their vision.

You might like the novel A Cat at the End of the World if you haven’t already read it. It’s Greek, not Mesopotamian but touches upon the idea somewhat.

This is why people think .world users are genocide supporters.

Children asking for food is not terrorism. Neither is self defense during 80+ years of violent occupation and apartheid.

I’ve actually been on my 3DS a lot this week, I replayed Hamtaro: Ham Hams Unite! and a short homebrewed game jam GBA called World of Zoink, which was cute.

I also picked up Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario: the Thousand Year Door for the Switch at good prices last weekend so once I’m past my current retro obsession I’m excited to start on those!

That’s fair.

Dream world would have Ghibli pick it up, or the team(s) behind Secret Level.

But we’re already in motion on this plan so just gotta cross our fingers and hope for the best.
