I was simply going by impact assessments of impact by industry types, obviously nothing happens in a vacuum. This is why I said there is room to reassess impacts. The stats that I was referring to try to take into account overall usage, pollution and other factors. Everything is linked in systems which is why it's difficult to get perfectly accurate pictures of things yet it IS possible to have a decent set of data to guide decision making on how to best course correct. Moving to renewables, building housing made to last generations instead of 20 years, public transportation powered by said renewables, reducing/eliminating meat consumption, growing locally, banning single use plastics etc.
I know the ethical and moral considerations are important. I agree with animal liberation entirely. I just take issue with presenting animal agriculture as THE single most damaging environmental practice, which it just isn't. Being factually accurate is important and misrepresenting the issue is harmful to the overall cause of environmental justice.
While I don't disagree about animal farming being terrible, it's impact is significant but not the top of the list by any means. Energy production dwarfs all other polluters by a large margin. 75% of greenhouse gas emissions and tons of toxic pollution. Construction is next because of all the toxic byproducts. Transportation is also worse. Agri-industry accounts for around 15% of GHG with a lot of pollution generated from food packaging. After that it's the fashion industry. While there is definitely some room for reassessing the impacts due to methodology, it's a roughly accurate list.
Not trying to minimize, just contextualize.
Compromise with a loincloth?
Ahh, well that makes a bit more sense. Definitely weird out of context, lol!
I never tire of people setting passwords to "password" level hacks.
I really don't know. Possibly. Rebranding soup as "water based cooking" just somehow filled me with a nameless existential dread.
I feel like this needs a special kind of content warning all it's own.
I feel the need to edit an autoexec.bat now.
I....errr....umm...SMDH.
As much as I love things like satire, subtext, subtlety, allegory and allusion I am beginning to feel that their use in anything meant to be remotely popular is problematic and this sort of reinforces that. It seems like you need the most overt ham fisted cudgel over the head plots with wholly unlikeable, physically unattractive people as the baddies and beautiful dumb as rocks people as the "heroes" to spout unambiguous cliche one liners in order for the thing to not be grossly misunderstood by the average American. Like Team America was just straight taken unironically as a "we should really do that" blueprint instead of a criticism-by-edgelords satire. No need for parody, we already live in one. SMH.
I love it when people take a really tenuous correlation and inflate it to "x cures y" (I don't actually love it).
Did he do this? I would not be surprised at all but the second I see/hear the guy I tune out. Had to endure him since Politically Incorrect and holy shit I just can't even with him anymore.
My main issue with Denzel has always been that he's so good that all the other actors look wooden in comparison.
I've never even really spent much time on Reddit except for the occasional search result pointing at a thread answering a Linux question or suchlike and I STILL am glad Hexbear exists. I tried a couple Lemmy instances and quickly abandoned ship (holy fucking lib slop) but not before I noticed the hate being heaped on the so called "tankies" of Hexbear et al. who seemed to me to have the most informed and reasonable responses to a given topic. So here I am and here I shall stay. Every thread confirms it.
Highly recommend wet shaving with old style replaceable blades and shaving soap. Canned foam goo is a crime against skin. I can recommend brands but don't want to sound like a shaving commercial. I just detest the present day shaving experience since I have a ridiculous beard and super sensitive skin.
That's a whole lot of No.2 right there.
