Most vegetarians and vegans will be happy about positive changes. They aren't the loudest ones, however. Similar to feminism, the most radical opinions get much more attention relative to reasonable ones. Especially by those opposed to it.

When I was a meat eater I also saw it as an all-or-nothing choice though, as if I need to fully commit all at once, which was daunting to me. Then I tried to be vegetarian for a week which was surprisingly easy. Then I had a foot in the door, decided to continue, and replaced eggs and milk as well in the following weeks.

Some people might have an easier time replacing single foods, like buying plant-based patties instead of meat ones, or just trying out a few plant-based alternatives, and that's great too.

It's still from factory farms with very cruel living conditions, which is why it can be so cheap.

They're using the money they got from their customers to lobby politicians to keep doing business as usual. They have so much power because people vote with their dollar, for them, and not for sustainable alternatives.

Blaming politicians while continuing to fund these industries won't lead to anything.

So this only applies for military related jobs, right?

... right?

I think that the multiverse exist and we're the 1% of timelines that the cold war didnt go hot.

Some of the most powerful people of the world work hard to get us closer.

It's just a joke about how weird human culture is. I wonder how you infer anything about me as a person because of one silly joke? Only super weird people can notice weird cultural things and make jokes about it? Genuinely curious about your reasoning here.

To me its much weirder that it's normalized to drink baby milk from another species, to the point that it seems completely normal, but each to their own.

It's crazy how many people have never been weaned

But could the average hunter still hunt without the help of modern technology? Those who are entirely unable to do so are obviously not apex predators.

A lion can hunt any day without relying on a rifle, the vast majority of hunters could not.

So if you are smart enough to develop ranged weapons

Hunters that can build their own bows or spears and are able to hunt with them are genuine apex predators, that's fair.

Those who are completely reliant on industrially produced high tech firearms bought in a store, and would be outcompeted by any house cat without them, are not.

So apex that even hunters need firearms because they're too fat and slow to hunt without them nowadays, and unable to improvise and use self made weapons like the og hunters did.

I guess people that drive a forklift are "apex powerlifters" too.

Most of the stories posted on large subreddits were imaginary anyway. Now they are just being hallucinated by an AI. Is there much of a difference?

It is absurd, and complicit at this point. I think most people who are informed about what's happening in Gaza would agree on this. But it's not much of a topic in public discourse here and quite a few people still believe that the IDF is fighting against terrorists, so there's not enough pressure against this. Especially amongst the conservatives.

That's my impression from DIS, but isn't SNW supposed to be decent?
