If you think pigs, chickens and cows have the same level of awareness and perception as broccoli, tomatoes or potatoes than you’re the potato.

Humans have to eat and with the exception of a few minerals like salt, everything edible to humans is alive on some level. Vegansisn is making an ethical choice about reducing what causes the most pain fear and suffering in another. If I were to develop cancer, a tape worm or a virus should I also allow those living things to thrive as well or does “Uh, now what?” also apply to antibiotics?

Which is totally understandable and justifiable, even if there was no sensitive info on this particular call. Zero tolerance is the reasonable stance, not trying to criticize the firing. Just sorta curious why anyone would bother to record and post it in the first place. Like, wtf were they even thinking?

Was the call noteworthy in someway? Like a prank or something? Or was management just worried about some breach of privacy?

Mafia and Goverment are the same thing at different scales, social order established from a central unit that enforces their will via violence funded by protection money/taxes Just as “cults” eventually become religion at a critical mass, then your fringe beliefs become legitimate church doctrine.

All the rules of the world are made up and only apply if enough people say and act as they apply. Justice is a point of view, not a inherent truth.

Oh… sure, okay, done! My streak will remain at 0.

This was the easiest picket line not to cross.

I mean it’s a genocide, not a war. And Harris absolutely has not said she would cease arming Isreal, she is less outspoken than Biden but there is no indication she would end anything.

But Trump gave gift after gift to Isareal the first time and has said he would send more armaments. He without question would make things worse so Harris is the only sane ethical choice.

I agree it’s a simple choice but we need to be realistic that Harris isn’t some peace panacea.

You’d be suprised. My partner is very tuned in to politics and watches Hasan near daily, reads news, talks with me and her friends but casually mentioned she would be voting for Stein instead of Harris. I very quickly pulled up the Putin dinner party pic and a handful of articles explaining the various connections. It all totally flabbergasted her and she decided on Harris despite her, very legitimate, reservations over genocide. Realistically we’re in a very blue state that will safely go Harris so it wouldn’t matter, but I’m certain other people will still fall into the same trap.

It’s not hard to find a common thread in all Middle Eastern countries…

Sweetie, this was my point. Your link proves my point.

Please calm down and actually try to absorb what I’m telling you. This is basic history IF you care to learn it. I know it’s easy to fall in to xenophobia but the world is more complicated than just saying certain groups are universally evil.

It’s the US fault that Islamic extremists are the goverment.

I thought Islam was the religion of peace?

Most Christians are peaceful, but if an outside country destabilized the US democratic and republican party then placed the KKK in power, their version of Christianity would be what America lives under. Exactly as it happened in various middile eastern countries.

This isn’t a consisparcy or anything, it’s basic history of the region freely available on Wikipedia. Saying anything else is just ignorance.

The Iranian revolution (where fundamentalist Islam / Sharia took over the country) was a direct fallout from the Shah, (the US puppet dictator) losing power after exploiting his country for US interests (cheap oil) for nearly four decades. He died in exile while everyone in Iran accused each other of being secretly western puppets and then naturally the religious traditionalist were above these accusations.

This isn’t a conspiracy theroy or anything, it’s all extremely on the record but so few Americans know or give a shit. Simmiliar story everywhere in the region. Religious fundamentalist extremism wasn’t the norm for the longest time until US intervention.

“Go lick a dead camel jackass!”

Shouted by a friend at a high school bully from a moving car. 😂

Dude even brought in some poor Tesla engineers to review it. 😂

I’m not sensitive to mythology. Couldn’t care less about any of them, 100% atheist. But… are y’all meat eaters okay?Deaming what sentient, and often benevolent kind creatures would taste like is just wild.

While I am a pescatarian, I think biblical angels would be delicious fried

You won’t eat beef, but a literal messenger of the god would be fair game? I know this is a silly hypothetical, but I don’t understand these metrics at all. 😂

I suppose it depends on the rules of this specfic immortality. As someone who lives with chronic pain that literally never feels physically comfortable in any position, immortality sounds like a cruel joke. Not that I’m suicidal or eager to die, but the fact that it would progressively get worse and worse without any sort of end is… horrorific.

Yay!

But fuck Starbucks for just a litany of reasons so it will never make a difference to me. I own a coffee maker, a blender and a thing of pumpkin spice so I can make their whole menu in minutes for 1/10th of the cost.

This avoidable and preventable death brought to you by “pro life” partisans.

Google would therefore have to find more money than exists on Earth to pay Moscow

Well to be fair, I do think it’s plausible that one day Google will indeed control all the money in the world.

But they weren’t talking with Musk, of course.

😆😆😆😆😆

That’s fucking crazy and I absolutely lovd it! 🤣
