Eating flesh requires factory farming to be viable at a scale large enough for billions of humans. It’s literally impossible for every human that eats chicken flesh to raise their own chickens, this is a non-starter.

More evidence that the US and Israel are the same country.

Did you know they call human flesh “long pork”?

This seems like an entirely self-created problem by designing a system where the government doesn’t just print cash.

Outdated info from where?

Seems to me like it would have come from plans drawn up 10+ years ago about where to target.

Naw, these plans were sitting around for a long time. Trump just picked them up and ran with them, even though a lot of stuff is out-of-date. The biggest clue is the the girl’s school bombing, it was once part of an IRGC compound ten-ish years ago.

I’ve seen it as understanding that Ukraine would be instantly dropped by the West if they dared criticize Israel.

The debt, and payments on interest, might cause more inflationary pressure than eliminating it would cause.

I think they could just print 39 trillion dollar coins and instantly pay off the debt.

If your country has a plan to go to war with every other country in the world and a warmonger gets elected then one of those plans will be implemented regardless of whether its justified. See: Iraq, Iran

The next fascist that gets elected will probably start a war with China regardless of the Taiwan situation.

Remember, no one is born vegan.

My personal experience was, in fact, that I was mad at vegans for making me think about it. I find most people, when pressed, feel that hurting animals is wrong and sometimes will even admit it. That’s why so many of them are obsessed with the future being lab-grown meat, they’d rather be able to eat flesh without hurting anyone.

I bet that applies to you, too. If we could grow lab grown bacon, which tastes exactly the same as flesh from a pig, you’d choose it every time. I doubt you actually want to hurt pigs.

I definitely used girl-coded screen names before I even admitted to myself that I was trans, and choosing to post under the name “Lilly” is important. But the final statement seems relevant too. “My name is Aaron” can’t be ignored or forgotten.

But then again, looking at that final statement, there was the use of the phrase “I am an active duty member of the United States Air Force” instead of “airman”. All the reporting says “airman” but, in those final words, that’s not what was actually said.

Then there’s the final post “Many of us like to ask ourselves “What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?” What if the answer to that question is “remain closeted so my final political act remains focused on Palestine”? Was this a choice to be remembered as a man made out of worry that anything else would be a distraction from the protest action? It’s possible. Was the video posted under “lillyanarkitty” as a silent scream to not be remembered as just a man? Was it a non-binary choice, to be remembered as both Aaron and Lilly in their last moments?

I don’t think I feel comfortable making any definitive choice. So, I avoid gendering as much as possible.

All is cooked under heaven.

The situation is excellent.

The Red Cross doesn’t make statements prior to investigation, and it’s not like Israel is going to let them conduct one.

But there’s literal footage of the wounds. Where do you think those wounds came from?

It’s not that people think of it as “good”, they just don’t think about it at all.

They also get really mad when you make them think about it, because most people know it’s wrong.

I was hit by a car while riding my bike to work without a helmet. It was basically The Thing that made me realize I can’t stay in the closet and I need to transition, the realization I would have been buried and remembered as another man was horrific.

But. I also don’t know if I would have wanted to be outed in my death if I hadn’t ever come out. I know that the very idea that I would be remembered as a man felt like a violation. On the other hand, taking that choice away from me seems like another violation. It counts for something that, in that last and final statement and fully knowing martyrdom was next, Bushnell told us “my name is Aaron.” But, it also counts for something that maybe I would have said “my name is MaleName” if I had a chance to have my final words, especially if I wanted my last words to be a political statement and was worried I’d be a distraction. I know I didn’t think very highly of myself or the importance of my identity before I transitioned, maybe I’d have kept it hidden.

Maybe I’d have wanted people to discover who I really was after I died. Maybe I’d never want anyone to know. I don’t know.

This seems really complicated.

The most frequent porn watchers don’t fantasize about meeting new people to have sex with, they fantasize about having sex with someone that’s already nearby so they don’t have to go anywhere or do anything.

RFK Jr really wants to declare that vaccines cause autism and they’re trying to placate him with distractions.
