Great time for people to go vegan if they aren’t already

And where is Murderbot?

Great show, I started on a whim thinking I wouldn’t like it because I couldn’t get into the book awhile ago. The show is significantly better, I think.

The comments on that article are… something.

125,000 Canadians move to the US each year for a better life - our best people! My neighbour moved to Texas in December and wished she’d made the move a long time ago. There’s bigger everything - larger homes, larger pay, better disposable incomes, more vibrancy, better weather and better people

How did you cheat?

I usually find the ones with words that aren’t words a good stepping stone towards the answer

Dog hotel could either refer to a doggy daycare place or a hotel that allows pets, I’m assuming the former based on what they said.

Also,

Queer folk are allowed to exist.

She’s not tolerant of this.

Yeah, I mean a potential path could be a narrowing of how a “well regulated Militia” is defined. But I agree, it’s a fully lost cause.

What’s the point of an organized society and a government anyway? Not to care for each other and reduce harm, right? /s

USA citizen here (unfortunately)

Guns are designed to kill, or at least cause harm.

I don’t think we should kill, or even cause the kind of harm that guns inflict.

∴ Guns shouldn’t exist.

I recognize this is a super idealistic approach, but this is just a “general concept of how a society should run.”

Yes, I’m taking into account hunting. We shouldn’t be killing non-human animals either. Sports is a more difficult problem to tackle for me, I recognize others like shooting for sporting events, and it’s not causing harm inherently. Might even be safer than American football, lol.

Having said that, a more realistic approach would be a gun buy back program and a slow phase out of guns for our police or at least a reduction / demilitarization of our police. I have no hope that this will happen, but wow, it’d be nice.

I’m referring to / summarizing the Ratchet Effect.

Obviously movement for the sake of movement is not inherently good. But when our only allowed form of action is to vote and we see that voting has no or negative effect, it seems fruitless.

Because a slightly more realistic scenario is that the Dems vote to just throw some people off the cliff, and that’s agreed between the two parties.

No, I’d rather vote for vegan ice cream first, then vote against driving off a cliff.

Unfortunately our current system doesn’t allow for that, so obviously I vote against driving off a cliff, but it feels so stagnating.
