Moderation conflict involving c/vegan
  • My cat is indoor outdoor and presumably gets his share of mice as well as a mix of kibble, canned and human scraps. He's not once gravitated to pea protein with taurine additive or whatever weird shit y'all are forcing on what is in effect a carnivore who can't articulate their wants to you.

    I was vegetarian for more than a decade, vegan for a chunk of it. I felt awful the entire time but stuck with it because I was trying to do what I thought was right. Thing is, I had a choice. Cats can't tell you they're listless and feel bloated all the time (the way I was during my veggie phase) which has led to full on celiac for me these days

    I legit cannot think of a more on the nose allegory for "missing the first for the trees" than forcing your carnivore pet to be vegetarian. Get a guinea pig or something

  • Humiliating New Polls Spell Doom for J.D. Vance ... and Trump
  • Offer to drive them to vote

    I always forget how good we have it in Oregon. I'll go through the pamphlet and read up on all the ballot initiatives while filling out my ballot in the comfort of my home at my own pace. Then I'll drop it in the mail or at a drop box somewhere the next day

  • It's weird that we enjoy stimulating our fear response
  • Before we figured out tools and became apex predators we were prey animals... we're SUPPOSED to be nervous and scared because that's what kept us alive. Some people have speculated that this is why in aggregate humans are prone to being spiteful, destructive, bored, and shitty

  • ‘Too many old people’: A rural Pa. town reckons with population loss
  • I could be a racist piece of shit and drop the n word. If a black person then turns around and calls all white people racist pieces of shit, we're both bigots

    Except... 2 people being assholes when the power dynamic is still very stilted is NOT a level playing field. Context matters. You're not some enlightened sigma with this hot take.

    Suffer a few generations of systemic oppression and you might get the parity you think you have

  • I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07.
  • Kinda shitty that Dominos has it set up so that tip is calculated on top of the delivery and service fees. Tipping on the value of food, I understand. Tipping on the cost of those other fees is double dipping and bad faith in my opinion.

    Seriously, "y'all charged me a service fee to deliver my food? Cool! Let me tip you for that!"

    Having done time in the service industry, I have no problem tipping where it's warranted, but you're tipping the Dominos corporation for their fuckery at that point, not the driver

  • Star Wars Fans Seem to Be Review-Bombing the Wrong 'Acolyte'
  • It was only because of that ignominy that he became an icon… why take that away?

    $$$$$

    I don't disagree necessarily with your take on Boba Fett. I think it's distractingly annoying how the current Star Wars universe shoehorns Mandalorians into any story they can because of Fett
