riiiiiiiiight

never heard of Vizio

first two paragraphs should be enough to convince anyone that it’s not news, just a highly biased opinion piece

juvee and then prison when they age out.

interesting how the standard Presidential term is also four years…

I generally think of “ancestral lands” as something inhabited for thousands of years, not 114 years

then what terminology is used to refer to industrial scale agriculture in general? I’ve always used “factory farming” for corpo owned farms.

lol. not rationalization, just the cold hard truth.

was the kitchen knife like, a meat cleaver or just a normal paring knife? honestly, article reads like meth psychosis was the real culprit

lol. the enemy adopting the same foreign technology that you’re using is just another sign that your war is unwinnable.

not sure what you’re referring to in terms of health impacts to society regarding corporate farming - food is significantly more readily accessible and cheaper (and partially unhealthier) than at any point in history. a lot of the responsibility for that comes down to factory farming.

morality wise? free roaming/uncaged/whatever animals are still going to be killed in great numbers so that we can eat. people have been killing and eating other animals since before humanity evolved from Homo Erectus. the “quality of life” question is rather meaningless, animals that exist in the food supply chain were literally born so they could be turned into food. it’s criminally inefficient and not economically viable to raise 10 cows (or pigs or whatever) in the same space where you can raise 40. vertical integration will be the next big milestone, and it’ll be a big win for everyone involved.

other than the hardware needed to get to the hangout spot/restaurant/etc, the added cost of getting there/buying whatever to participate in the hanging out

seems more like an article funded by a restaurant association or something

I bet you’d feel differently if you were in an ambulance trapped behind that mess of traffic or had a loved one in that situation. or maybe you’re a sociopath, I dunno.

in regards to that definition then: yeah, I’d say people are, on the whole, more enlightened than they were a century ago. the scientific method is more thoroughly accepted/baked in at a societal level, and the mass adoption of digital communication facilitates a greater sense of community… though the resulting communities are often at odds with each other.

is the definition of hardship static or is it scaling?

why would you hang out in person when you can hang out virtually/in a game from the comfort of your own home? you dont even need to get dressed up (or dressed at all)

Bernie’s retiring from politics then?

could still play out that way - but Nigeria isnt the most stable place, a hard shove or two would easily topple their house of cards

Rwanda is blameless then?

a candidate for a nice long stay in prison
