I haven’t, but interesting they exist!

Headphones of almost all types hurt my ears or fall off too easily to be comfortable.

And my new phone has better sound than my old phone and TV anyways. Yes, both of them ARE around 10 years old.

Not surprised; Blahaj mods are pretty known for being ptb. Say one tiny thing they don’t like and suddenly you’re an [something]phobic bigot.

It is the framing, yes. The second half reads as telling OP that it’s bad to want to go to the theatre in a conscensing way.

There are a LOT of non-dairy based milk options. Not having dairy doesn’t mean not having milks!

Personally I like oat milk the best. But I tend to try different kinds on whim and when I see them.

The appeal to nature fallacy is fun, but once people realize it is one (only for things they don’t want to hear of course), let’s add something not based on a fallacy:

Dairy is Scary.

Tyson.

Iirc, largest meat supplier. Which means they are a huge catalyst to the industry that literally profits on death and misery more than any other.

Their products are corpses, their human workers are in the industry with the highest rate of PTSD from their jobs, and by simply existing they’re helping create superviruses by fostering cramped sheds of half-dead animals that can barely move sleeping on their own shit and being kept alive just long enough to slaughter, using powerful antibiotics that will become useless a lot faster than if we used those antibiotics to protect humans instead of giving the perfect environment for viruses to adapt to and overcome them.

Fuck the whole animal agriculture industry, and extra fuck the biggest corps behind them.

I feel like they wouldn’t be respectful enough to say “brown skinned man”.

That I was being complacent to support animal cruelty just because I liked egg salad and cream cheese.

I was vegetarian for 7 years. I thought that only obvious things like meat and leather involved animal cruelty.

I was very wrong. And when people showed me I was wrong, I took a good while to process it. “But the cow needs to be alive for milk. But the chicken needs to be alive for eggs. Surely it’s not THAT bad”.

It’s a lot worse than that bad. Once it fully got through my skull just what kind of cruel practices were involved, not by choice l, but by industry NECESSITY, with the animal products that felt safe, I broke down crying while I was trying to reconcile the fact that I was letting my taste buds drive me to support terrible things.

I did finally quit. These days I don’t really miss much, food wise. And life lesson wise, it helps enable me to be a less unethical consumer. A store/product is involved with something morally terrible, like donating a lot of money to fascism? Welp, bye! No more money for you from me!

Beans and jeans!

Guilty. Though it usually stays in my head so I can go back and re”wtite” it over and over until I accidentally make huge plotholes but I like the scenes that cause plotholes so time to redo THOSE while trying to not make the scene suck. Rinse and repeat.

Looks like I die playing an old Pokémon game. Nostalgia must hit.

Downvotes from fellow invasive species. They don’t like being called out!

After all we just witnessed?

Four years stalling courts and avoiding punishment for insurrection, theft of classified documents, etc.

Getting legal permission to break any law he pleases.

Convincing even democrats that tge constitution, specifically the Fourteenth amendment, means nothing and isn’t worth acting on.

Openly planning the worst possible cabinet.

Not having any investigation or action on votes from targeted minorities get Jim Crow’d away.

No recounts when suspicious vote trends are spotted.

Survival of an assassination attempt.

… Yeah I’m going high. 70% chance minumum if he wants to. He could just order a public hit on the next in line as a presidential act. Clearly no one will stop him.

There should not BE a timeline where he succeeded the second time. The fact that there is implies he can do literally anything he wants.

While this isn’t a suggestion, just want to say don’t let other people saying one person doesn’t make a difference discourage you from doing what you can anyway.

“What is any ocean but a multitude of drops”? If a million people each don’t bother because they alone don’t make a difference?

Similar to the Starfish Story.

Actual suggestions:

• Aid education. Lots of illiterate youth is going to be a problem when they can’t even read to research on their own.
• Encourage increasing plant-based agriculture and the reduction of animal agriculture. Animal agriculture is terrible for the environment, and ironically the “green” version of it is even worse for the environment than factory farming if it were done to scale with the same product output. (Hunting is also not good to promote as an alternative, because if we hunted as much as we eat we would absolutely cause mass extinction very fast.)

Isn’t there something about insurrectionists not being allowed to be president?

We’re about to allow an insurrectionist to be president.

Pretty sure no silly little written amendment on a piece of parchment will stop him. They sure haven’t before. Those rules only apply when HE wants them to.

He has 2 options.

First is the obvious saying that there’s nothing stopping him from running for a 3rd term, and once again using Jim Crow era vote suppression and other slimy tricks to win again.

The second option is to just declare that presidency is a for-life position. He can do that, after all.

And he’s making that last part perfectly clear. He is above the law. There are no consequences for him breaking the law, and nothing stopping him from doing whatever he wants. The people who could are so polite that if words won’t stop him, they say more words at him. That’ll do it!

For even more fun: agree. Then elaborate. Lean right on into the insult, flip it into a good thing, or a ‘oh thanks for pointing that out, I’ll reflect on that’ depending on the tupe of insult.

It’s amazing how MAD trolls get when you remain calm and treat ad homenim as either a compliment or means to self-reflect.

Watching them try more and more insults, getting angrier and angrier, until they just give up. It brings me joy!

That’s implying that fishing is a great activity. That is about as okay as saying it’s okay that people chose not to vote.

I did not state it in a mean way, I simply said it in a way that says please do not encourage animal abuse.

I do not think it’s a good thing to encourage animal abuse, and I don’t think good people should be encouraged to continue normalizing it.

Please don’t ask people to stay silent about cruelty. That’s helps keep it normalized.

The point is that torturing animals is something that we probably shouldn’t recommend.

It is yanking a water animal by their mouth into an environment they cannot breathe. And if memory serves, fish have a lot of nerves in their mouths so that hurts a LOT, and even released ones have a reduced survival rate.

That “fun and wholesome” activity causes a lot of pain and stress to the victims, so it’s kinder to recommend something less cruel. Like birdwatching and photography.
