Just like healthcare…there are very few cases where replacing a societal motivation with a profit motivation results in better service or lower costs.

It’s all a joke

I’ll see if I can find any supporting articles, but IIRC, it has to do with the fats being softer or more reactive with your taste buds at warmer temps.

Edit: it’s mostly pop sci articles, so maybe it’s BS but seems the fats and amino acids get locked in the proteins when cheese is cold. https://www.sciencefocus.com/the-human-body/melted-cheese-tastes-good

They really just need stall it getting overturned in coirt u til the next election. After that, it’s too late.

Republicans accidently help climate change by permanently reducing the reproductive population in the sex that directly controls population growth rates

Have I got news for you if that username is accurate…

Well, if they were arguing in good faith using that standard, it sounds like we’d need to start rounding up cishet guys across the board…by far the most pedophilia, mass shootings and rape are committed by my fellow cishet guys. Send us all to the camps!

Even if she WAS trans…what’s their fucking point? That makes what…2 trans shooters…total?

It’s pronounced ‘gif’

It’s not like Jan 6th. The people saying it is are trying to both-sides their insurrection. Notice they’re calling Biden’s management of the border “traitorous” as well. They’ll be calling everything they can treason or insurrection until November, or they find something that resonates at which point they’ll start opening BS congressional inqueries or impeachment cases about. Because once congress says they’re investigating something, it must be real, right?

I’m just glad to have such a recent and relevant example of how Biden doesn’t bow to pressure from voters.

I’ll start worrying about artificial intelligence when customers can generate requirements specific enough for actual intelligence to decipher.

Kinda hard to build a prompt when they don’t even really know what they want until they’ve seen what they asked for.

Good point. The civilian sailors clearly deserve it. After all, they get to pick and choose which cargo they carry… just like the Palestinians got to pick their own government and chose terrorists.

If they were good little wage-slaves, they’d have quit and starved until they found a morally pure capitalist to work for.

I always tell my kids never to enter a land war in Asia.

You’d think if they mistrusted Hamas, they’d stop funding them…its almost like they see a benefit to dealing with a terrorist organization instead of the PLA.

You should do a little research about conditions on factory farms. I started raising our own cows and chickens because I didn’t want to contribute to that system financially any longer once I was educated about it. Still buy some meat I can’t raise myself from the store, but for the majority I know they aren’t overcrowded, arent given antibiotics or other drugs unless they’re actually sick, quality food, humane shelter and they aren’t slaughtered on site. For most livestock, their entire existence is suffering. Chicken have their beaks removed because they’ll attack each other over the overcrowding otherwise, cows and pigs stanfing in pens so small they can’t turn around, unethical slaughter practices, sometimes it’s just slitting the throat and letting them bleed out in site of other animals, etc.

I agree with pretty much everything you’ve said in this comment chain, except the part about everything that’s currently alive being sustained by the auffering of some other living thing…the very plants we’re speaking about get their energy from a combination of sunlight and air (specifically carbon dioxide). AFAIK, we haven’t found that soil reacts to having nutrients extracted, and the sunlight and air are there anyway. So, if any organism can look down on us for our cruelty, it’d be the non-carniverous plants ;)

I kinda get where you’re coming from… but just as an easy example…

well-informedly isn’t a word.

I have now told you what is and isn’t a word, dispote you explicitly not consenting to me doing so. What happens now?

In this case? It isn’t a big deal. You can tell me to pound sand or ignore me or try to get into a flame war with me over it, but your lack of given consent doesn’t inherently prevent me from doing anything to you so I wouldn’t agree that its just the way things are naturally.

There are cases where it is much more important. If what you stated were true, there would be no concept of rape because nobody could do that to you without your consent, and if you have consent, it’s not rape. Same with murder… the closest thing would be assisted suicide. I’d also argue that the Palestinians haven’t consented to what is happening there. In each of these scenarios, one entity refused to consent, but it didn’t impact the other perpetrator from continuing because the victim didn’t have enough strength or weaponry or whatever (a bigger stick).

I honestly don’t see how you can have a society without both a mechanism to determine what the shared rules are, someone with a big enough stick to enforce those shared rules. Obviously, the tricky part then becomes ensuring that the enforcers only use their stick when its appropriate. Otherwise, you just end up with authoritarianism.

It’s ok, I’m a limo driver!

The issue is that there are a lot of people who are already antisemitic and want to hijack the pro-Palestine movement to spread their own message or recruit new antisemites.
