I'm laic.

What beliefs a person holds to themselves is indiferent to me. And it should not matter to anyone. Relationships are a negotiated endeavour, from both parts, where everyone gives a little to reach a mutual understanding.

Unless a person subscribes views capable of leading to individual, personal and socially harmful and regressive thought and action, it does not matter.

Removing the religious view from your question: would you date a vegan, not being one? Would you date a non vegan, being yourself one?

Zealotry goes both ways. Both the believer and the non believer can entrench themselves in their views so deeply they become fanatics.

So, they're lazy.

Under pressure for what?

It has already been stated that the import of food items, in detriment of the higher EU food standards, will not be negotiable.

Two simple examples: chicken and beef.

For beef, it would be as simple as stop pumping cattle with steroids and attest the origin of the animal, two things american rancher are unwilling and often unable to do. Argentina and Brasil sell meat to the EU. Isn't the US as capable?

Stop washing chicken with chemicals (likewise, eggs), treat the animals properly, with good sanitary conditions, no steroids, and it will be fine.

But the real issue is that the EU already produces enough beef and chicken indoors. And meat consumption has been in a sharp decline. No one will buy what they don't.

Besides these two, it would make a difference if the US stopped using artificial food colorings, with proven bad effects on health.

There are more issues.

Beet root boiling water is a very stubborn dye to wash off too.

Was that lamb properly cleaned? Sheep and goat have glands throughout the body that need to be removed in order to make the meat more palatable; it's still edible, just unpleaseant and smelly.

I personally prefer adult sheep or goat. The meat is very though and oily but slowly roasted, with strong herbs, it breaks down and becomes tender. The fat in the meat is superb to cook root vegetables in.

Nothing against horse; unusual nowadays but it helped a relative of mine to ward off a serious malnutrition, leading to low blood iron levels. Game meats are game meats. I personally enjoy boar but not being a hunter makes it hard to source such meats.

Nothing wrong, per se, just non sensical.

The animal does not have much to eat, the meat is though and very fatty and heavily scented. Also, unless it is "fat", it is not edible, leading to badgers in the area becoming leaner and more muscular.

Allso, it's a protected species.

People eat badgers in my country... stupid people will eat anything.

We could just regulate tech companies and outright ban some practices but since we apparently don't have time for rational solutions...

Well thought out sabotage can be written off to causality or involuntary human error.

Not giving notice of lay off is an abusive work practice and only shows how far we've allowed work conditions to degrade.

And that practice itself can be highly dangerous, if we consider a person can be midway into a complex task that can turn extremely difficult to follow by another: waste of time, resources, energy and money.

I do know they enjoy eating eggs from birds nests and other small animals are on the menu. But murderous?

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 weeks ago

Small acts of sabotage are easy to write off to causality, if well planned.

Stupid question but what is stopping the software engineers to poison the well?

Insert malicious code, self destructing functions, have entire batches of code lost or corrupted, hardware damaged, etc?

Cute as these animals are, considering their invasive status, I expect culling efforts.
