Sample size of this study?

I’ve had arguments with someone who believed that the grass-fed cows don’t impact the water reserves in the area because the cows urinate on the soil.

Profits probably. It’s harder to compete with adversaries who get subsidies.

They see it as a feature. Well, not all of them, but some of them understand the implications of this “Lebensraum” and want them. They’re usually on the ecofascist side of things. And this did happen in the past.

To a certain degree, it’s happening in the Amazon biome.

To a different certain degree, it’s happening in Sudan and that region.

Do you think that herbivores preceded plants on land?

What do the animals eat?

OK, finally got through it.

1. There is no perfect term to use. A term is infused with meaning by people over time, transforming like a fossilization process, but with culture.
2. If you agree that no perfect term can exist, perfect in that self-explanatory and “immortal definition” sense, then you have to agree that a lot of thought needs to go into how a term can be used and abused, how it can be shifted, how aesthetic it is, and so on. Those are jobs for writers and very creative people.
3. If you really want it to be big, the term probably needs to be internationalized. If your term is very ‘englishy’, then it’s no bueno. The term “vegan” at least sounds similar in many languages and is novel and short, two syllables, so it’s easy to learn and not confuse with others.

Sentientism and many like it are great, but those are more academic terms. It’s great if you read books, but look up the statistics on reading non-fiction non-self-help books.

Animalism does sound cool, but I can imagine 10 different ways it could wrong easily, including being subsumed into some weird primitivist human supremacism.

Demented bacon eaters does sound like an apt outcome.

Try walnut butter.

Do you see the comments in that post? It seems like they’re being removed automatically, so only the admins get to see it, perhaps.

I wrote an entire god damned essay and it doesn’t even show up on my profile.

edit: just realized that I had blocked the community and, apparently, there was no obvious notice for that anywhere aside from the “UNBLOCK” button. So if it’s blocked, you don’t see the comments… :D

“I can fix them!”

👍

Veshe?

Fuck fireworks!

Writing code is bad!

Writes condensed configurations and properties files in 3 different languages instead. Cloud deployment uses yet another source of configurations and properties.

Doesn’t write documentation for configuration and properties.

Ah, yes, that’s much more readable.

coffee and death metal

why do you hate Zoomers?

In a pinch, if you don’t have Word, try WordPad.
