Dr. Sleep, the sequel to "The Shining" was a very apt adaption, too.

And don't trust Kings own approval of the Dark Tower movie although Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey were actually good casts. It's was bad nonetheless. We could have had an 10 seasons series on par with Game of Thrones if it wasn't for that movie.

General Jack D. Ripper: You know when fluoridation first began?

Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: I... no, no. I don't, Jack.

General Jack D. Ripper: Nineteen hundred and forty-six. 1946, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works.

Jup. I saw interviews with muslim Trump voters saying exactly that.

Hassan Abdel Salam, a former professor at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities and co-founder of the Abandon Harris campaign, which endorsed Green Party candidate Jill Stein, said Trump's staffing plans were not surprising, but had proven even more extreme that he had feared.

A professor even. They knew less about the coming administration than my uneducated ass whose not even residing in the country where all that is happening.

He signed a law against very specific animal torture of pets (don't look it up) in his first term. He also signed a very specific law for increasing the speed of pig slaughter lines IIRC. So no. Livestock animals will be even more fucked (if that's even possible in the US) as he is in the hands of big animal ag. He loves his farmers in Iowa as he said recently. Now is the best time to look up how to go vegan. Or the worst considering the drop in availability of alternative meat products that's about to come. Remember if you don't pay for it animal ag has to consider their practices. A big producer of meat products in Germany (Rügenwalder)has a lot of its productline switched to plant based in the last years because of the demand.

Nope it's the worst time in history to advise raw milk. Millions of wild life birds and livestock is dying around the world right now because of H5N1. Human cases (allegedly mild) are ramping up already although they don't know/say if they are human to human transmissions. IIRC the CDC found viral material in raw milk and strongly advised to only drink pasteurized mild.

I've seen a documentary about the Jan 6th timeline and one insurrectionist said this in an interview. He couldn't think anymore and everything about it seemed like the best thing since the invention of toast. He allegedly saw his errors in hindsight. I'm more than convinced he is back in the cult. Can't fix stupid.

Oh and I know that I derailed any possible discussion about "Plants feel pain" before it ever came up. Because it doesn't make sense even if it were true as the most number of plants get brutally murdered for a net negative system that if changed would murder a whole lot less of them.

Partially true and I know it but I don't give a F anymore now the world has a government that'll only speed up ecological demise. I feel veganism (or at least reducturianism) is a (albeit very small) chance to slow that down. Thanks for giving me the forum to spew my propaganda.

Partly true because you wrote the system is conserving resources where it really doesn't. Most of the energy is transformed into non-conserving but destructive forces: GHGs, manure run-off, pollution. A whole lot of energy is used to grow the miserable animal and only a fraction of it is coming out in form of quickly perishable food.

I addressed the 2/3 crop calorie argument already in my previous post. That's not what the original video was addressing. It was addressing the amount of crops (therefore land use, therefore number of rodents dying on harvest). Again your paper states we could ramp up the production of calories from plants just for humans and could feed some billion more people.

Animal ag is fucking up the planet. Deforastation, killing wild-life, pollution, GHGs, destruction of soils via plant mono cultures and water via run offs causing eutrophication and dead-zones, pandemics, eviction of indigenics. Not to speak of the constant suffering. It conserves nothing.

The study you posted states a logical conclusion in the sense of the self preservation our livelihood. See the last quote in my last post.

I understand that peoples jobs depend on it, that 2% vegans aren't making a big impact and that rich as fuck capitalist pricks can accumulate billions and exploit low-wage workers and even immigrant children because of it.

You're free to call it misinfo or propaganda but it's the stuff I researched for 3 years I'm vegan now. Feel free to abstain from answering if you only want to beat a vegan. I probably won't engage anyway bc it was all I have to say about it.
