I know that but have you ever talked about this to rural Americans? They will need to be convinced that beef is too heavy a part of the American diet and that by removing subsidies it will help the climate and public health. They need to be convinced that there exists protein that isn't animal based and that they may actually like it.

The corporations push it, but even if they don't the masses are rabid

Yeah as a lesbian I've seen gay boy misogyny and this ain't it

I'm an apostate and I can say that if you managed to get to the eucharist you should know that when you don't know something about catholic doctrine you're supposed to run it up the msgisterium. That's what they're there for. Priests go to college for this shit and usually can set you right. If they don't know they can ask a bishop. If it's pressing and uncertain the pope may need to make a call. And if a world leader asks it the pope actually might

Lol. You're only allowed to be that bad of a catholic if you were born one or at least have been one for a decade or two. Recent converts realizing catholicism isn't the aesthetic is funny

Ok 49 days is impressive for a lettuce. It's also impressively bad for a prime minister.

Lettuce see how that goes

I cannot remember the genders of most of the characters in murderbot

Ok but we do need to stop subsidizing beef

The chaos star is an old anarchist symbol too

Yeah if you don't like the bill of rights fucking leave. And take your cronies with you. We've got ammendments other than the second

Nah it was Ethiopians who realized it. Arabs agreed. Then Europeans lost their damn minds at the concept of a non alcoholic social beverage, much less one with an energizing effect

Jim Jones at least claimed to care about people

As a woman, yeah i totally accidentally told my bros I got married a few years after the fact. In my defense we eloped and my friends and I sometimes go a few years without talking much

As someone who repairs bikes for a hobby this all sounds insane. I paid like $10 for my back rack with folding baskets

Bike recycling is probably the answer. Cheaper, worse looking, but you can often find high quality parts and frames and repair it yourself

Because prion risk

Guns and Republicans

And it helps to remember that this ksnt just some chump writing this. Tolkien got sent to fucking WWI and fought in the trenches. He saw some bad times and if he believed in the common person, maybe I can too. Even when they're willfully ignorant assholes sometimes

That's how it goes. Turns out you can destroy things a lot faster than you can build them. And you can build things poorly faster than you can build them right

See the fact that you have that strength of character is why you don't have to pull the stupid shit they all do.

I've been ugly, I've been hot. I've been unprincipled, I've been principled. I've been charmless, and I've been charming. Listen, I'm gonna keep aiming to be principled, charming, and hot in that order.

Being ugly sucks but you can easily get past it. Being off putting sucks, but people who know you know you. Being unprincipled seems great until your reputation is terrible and you have to live with yourself
