What do you think happens to male chicks in the egg industry? I’ll give you a hint, it involves industrial grinders and pink paste.

Cows produce milk for their young, like all mammals. The “need” to milk them arises from milk production, in which we forcibly impregnate cows and take their young away. You can hardly call something a “need” if it only happens once you purposefully impregnate a cow for its milk and abduct their calves.

And that’s disregarding the atrocious conditions in hatcheries and dairy farms.

The egg and dairy industries are the meat industry, and honestly anyone who’s vegetarian for “ethical” reasons without immediate plans to become vegan are deluding themselves.

I was around 20 when I first started browsing trans subreddits “as an ally”, and I also made a few jokes to some friends about how “I’m probably non-binary lol”.

I was 23 when I finally actually came to terms with my gender and sexual orientation. Those three years were rough :P

Too bad most Canadians are fucking idiots and didn’t realize or understand that 80% of households benefitted from the Carbon Tax, receiving more than what they paid in the first place.

We just decided to kick the environment in the groin and take money away from the poorest Canadians. And somehow the oil companies and media oligarchies framed this as a win for the “working and middle classes”.

The update from CS:GO to CS2 made the game unplayable on my aging hardware which is the only thing that got me to stop playing.

I’m in a single-player game phase now, and I have to say it’s nice having gaming sessions where I don’t get called every slur imaginable. That being said, Counter-Strike scratches a very specific gaming itch for me, I’ll definitely come crawling back one day.

Explain how AI haters or doubters cross over with Veganism at all as a comparison?

They’re both taking a moral stance regarding their consumption despite large swathes of society considering these choices to be morally neutral or even good. I’ve been vegan for almost a decade and dislike AI, and while I don’t think being anti-AI is quite as ostracizing as being vegan, the comparison definitely seems reasonable to me. The behaviour of rabid meat eaters and fervent AI supporters are also quite similar.

The phone to Bluetooth/cassette adapter to cassette/8-track adapter to 8-track is crazy and I really hope someone is actually rocking that in an old car with an 8-track player.

Seriously! I get that we’re in a severe housing crisis, many people can barely afford rent and the homeless population is ever expanding, but won’t anyone think of the cars?

Anyways, if you can’t afford an apartment, you can always sleep in your car! You can’t drive an apartment, checkmate liberals 😎

No one pronounces “JPEG” with a ph sound, though.

French is my first language, Parisians were still assholes who switched to English because they didn’t like the way I spoke French.

Everyone outside Paris was cool, but I totally get the stereotypes about Parisians. I don’t entirely blame them, living in a city that gets that much tourism must suck, but I am still salty at the guy working in a pizza place who served our party entirely in broken English despite us only speaking French to him.

I do wonder what the Corsican’s name is in French given that boneywasawarroirwayayix is very English (language and culture) specific.

His original French name is Ocatarinetabellatchitchix, which is a reference to a song by Tino Rossi (who has Corse ancestry).

That’s really cool and all, but even if I give myself permission I don’t have the savings from a 6-figure salary to survive while doing something like this.

Drake John Eric Guitard Metallic

That’s quite the name.

From Dante, to Jamiroquai, to Nazis, to tunnel, to Caillou. These are all from the same day. I fucking love Wikipedia.

I always use a simple diagonal gradient with the three colours of the bisexual flag. I am bisexual, but it’s mostly because I like the colours. Whenever I get a new device, I generate an appropriately-sized gradient for its screen using GIMP.

The one exception is the background of my Steam Deck in desktop mode, which is the following because I thought it was funny:

Most of the various guilds and unions in the entertainment industry have rules regarding proper crediting.

I searched for his comments on the NYPD, all I could find was an “apology” that reads more as “potential new mayor, after years of criticism of the NYPD, realises that an openly antagonistic NYPD wouldn’t help his agenda for New York and says the bare minimum to placate them”. Keep in mind too, this is under a presidency that would gladly assist the NYPD in disturbing whatever Mamdani does when elected. He also mentions victims of police brutality in the quote. Hardly “very PRO-NYPD”, IMO.

In regards to the genocide in Gaza, he seems to be extremely pro-Palestine. He did recently visit some Zionist leaders in NYC. Jews are around 12% of the population of NYC, and whilst they certainly aren’t all Zionists, at lot of them undoubtedly are. Personally, I believe a good representative should represent every part of their constituency. You can’t realistically completely ignore these groups while running for a position like the mayor of NYC. Meanwhile, he has constantly throughout his life criticised Israel and expressed staunch support for the Palestinian cause.

Feel free to disagree with me on any of these points, but even then, don’t you think you might be letting perfect be the enemy of good in this case? Do you have another candidate you’d prefer?

With a duplication glitch, wouldn’t both technically be the same chick?
