I don't understand. Can you explain what are you objecting to here?

I already deleted the post to fix one typo. Fuck it, we ball.

Put yourself on the front line then. Get yourself between the cops and some brown kid. Get assaulted and thrown in jail for a weekend.
Or you can keep sitting at your computer, telling your neighbors not to defend themselves from the jackbooted fascists actively oppressing them. Your choice.

Let's see what the Constitution says about this.
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State..."
Huh. I wonder who that's for.

The female calves are forced into the same system where their repro system is exploited with yearly insemenations. They are held captive and farmed for milk, producing 5 times as much milk compaered to a cow in the 1950s. They are sold for parts after their milk production drops.

Great point.
True, chickens get a raw deal. Wait until you find out about the life cycle of cows farmed for their milk.
I appreciate you being specific about the language you use though!

Yeah, not disagreeing with any of that, it's just silly that that is the common understanding.

To be fair, "lacto ovo vegetarian" being shortened to "vegetarian" is hella incoherent.

They say it's an old circus term and no one ever heard of it until I said it so we goose 'em up and they look good, but not as good as me

It's not gonna be Trump Boy. You get why it can't be you, right Trump Boy?

Especially after campaigning on Trump 2 being the end of democracy.

The first libertarians were Anarchists. Only in the US did it get re-coined to mean "socially liberal, fiscally conservative." Scare quotes because I don't think that's logically consistent.

He's channeling his inner hashtag resist liberal to totally dunk on Trump and Elon. "We just need to dunk on him one more time. Just one more time and Trump is finished! I swear, bro!"
I think he pegged him just fine. Treating shitty dunks as political resistance is unserious.

Yeah they're doing great work deriving profit from the exploitation of the female reproductive system and brazen animal abuse. It's shameful when you suck up to your home industries like a capitalist stooge. Bob LaFollette is rolling in his grave. Rebrand Wisconsin to be the Cranberry State.

The time to do this sort of stuff was June of last year. We are 5 months into Trump’s takeover, it’s not fucking stand-up comedy hour. It doesn’t matter how much you make fun of Republicans if you will not do anything to stop them.

I was out on the lake yesterday and saw a couple bald eagles. Unfortunately my phone's camera is very not good.

Yeah there's a major dissonance there between actions and beliefs. Hopefully we can somehow still shift the mainstream discourse.

Well the word to describe a non-vegan philosophy is a carnist philosophy. But yes, your deductive reasoning skills are quite sharp.

I think Nathan Fielder designed the set.

I guess @booker.senate.gov accomplished the Democratic trifecta with his floor speech - performative action, substanceless PR, and a book deal.
Good work to everyone, including me, who got duped into thinking he was starting to do something meaningful.

What more do we need to study? Does it pump GHGs into the atmosphere that are transforming our planet into an unlivable hellscape? No? Get the shovels in the ground!

Thanks! Just wanted to run it by you before showing your post to a room of teenagers.

I'm a biology teacher in Wisconsin so I'm putting together a slide presentation on the false conflict between biology and trans existence for pride month. Can I use your post in that presentation?

I hope that people who see this drastic protest realise that the terms "biological male" is really God damn stupid to use against women who..well..look like any other woman?
Not that it's cool even if didn't look like an average woman but like holy shit come on.
Absurd denial of reality.
