The Krishna temple in Burnaby used to have a wonderful vegan restaurant. Absolutely amazing food.

I mean… it is.

Looking at this directly from a viewpoint of what is “natural” for the human body, being vegan is unnatural.

Being an omnivore is. Our entire digestive system is such that the natural diet of the human body is an omnivorous one and it does best when treated as such. And that means a small amount of animal fats, proteins, trace minerals, and amino acids in one’s diet.

I’m not going to argue morals or ethics, because that wasn’t what the post was about. It’s what’s about what is “natural.”

Yes, you may disagree with me. Strenuously, and just know that I respect you and hope that you and yours have an excellent day wherever you happen to be on this flaming cannonball of a planet we call home.

Can you imagine how it would be if PP had won?

They would likely hold out a chair for us if we asked.

Cool. The thin kind cut into squares I can get here. It’s the deep dish no one offers and your description kinda explains why

I’ve never had Chicago style pizza and I have no idea where to get one here on the west coast of Canada.

And so, you become like them. Rigid, unyielding, and unable to see any viewpoint but your own. I feel pity for the future you and am glad I will not live to see it

But, are they wrong?

Seriously, someone can be the epitome of what you despise and still be correct about something.

Contact or join your local SCA group. They may be anachronists as opposed to anarchists, but if you want to learn how make and use weapons and armor of that sort there are few more accessible teachers and trainers.

One of them made large amounts of basic body armor from heavy gauge plastic barrels for use by protesters a few years back. They may not stop bullets, but they are very_ effective versus “non-lethal” rounds and similar.

And yes, the person did get a visit from the FBI, who let the person keep on making as they weren’t working on weapons of any sort. Just the armor.

The US already has died as a global superpower. Only it’s military keeps it going.

I’m Canadian, and this year I went to Florida to fulfill a life-long (I’ll be 60 next year) dream to visit the Kennedy Space Center. One thing I noticed, beyond getting “randomly secondarily” screened at EVERY security checkpoint, was that there were no wait lines for anything anywhere.

No lines at NASA, no lines at restaurants, no lines at Orlando attractions. At least nothing more than a couple of minutes, at most. Even the beaches were mostly empty…

I wish I could afford red meat…

Well, all the Nestle stuff gets sent back to them. Pretty much all the big name cereal outfits have orders that damaged products are to be sent to a salvage company.

Happily most cheese and sliced meats can be donated, plus we generally send 8-10 shopping carts of baked goods and produce directly from us to them every day

I’m one of the returns clerks in a Costco. First thing we do every morning is process stuff to send the food bank. It irks me how much stuff we aren’t allowed to send because the manufacturer won’t allow it. Even despite that we send a lot every day. Everything that does spoil at the food bank goes to a local pig farm, who donates pig products back to the food bank whenever he can.

I debated how to reply to you for probably too long. The best reply I could think of, is the following:

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

No, a man with the right to be innocent until proven guilty is being presumed guilty before due process can be done.

There is a difference

Possibly/Probably but as I said. Right now win 10 runs all my productivity, gaming and streaming software such as OBS and Veadotube.

They run and run well. I have literally no incentive to switch to either a Linux distro or win11. If that changes, then I’ll consider changing my OS, but until then…why would anyone?

I have no plans to either update to win11 or change back to chanting magic spells at my computer to get it to work (Ubuntu, many years ago).

My computer works and does everything I want it to. Basic internet security and reasonable precautions are sufficient for a low level user like me to stay safe.

Are these death tragic? Yes. But 40 deaths a year isn’t something that’s going to sound a call to arms. Perhaps money would be best put toward more mental health services for men, whose rate of suicides far outstrips that of women but have significantly fewer resources specifically for them.

Well tbh, I’m still working out how a lot of this federated thing works and this was my gateway to Lemmy after the Redditpocalypse
