What do you think happens to male chicks in the egg industry? I'll give you a hint, it involves industrial grinders and pink paste.
Cows produce milk for their young, like all mammals. The "need" to milk them arises from milk production, in which we forcibly impregnate cows and take their young away. You can hardly call something a "need" if it only happens once you purposefully impregnate a cow for its milk and abduct their calves.
And that's disregarding the atrocious conditions in hatcheries and dairy farms.
The egg and dairy industries are the meat industry, and honestly anyone who's vegetarian for "ethical" reasons without immediate plans to become vegan are deluding themselves.
I was around 20 when I first started browsing trans subreddits "as an ally", and I also made a few jokes to some friends about how "I'm probably non-binary lol".
I was 23 when I finally actually came to terms with my gender and sexual orientation. Those three years were rough :P
The man owns six (6) yachts.
Carbon-neutral my fucking ass.
My first partner was adopted from China as a baby, so she looked Chinese but culturally she was 100% Canadian, raised in a very meat & potatoes kind of family.
My mom is a bit of a hippy, so she loved cooking stuff from all different cuisines and we'd regularly use chopsticks at home if eating Asian foods.
We went to a Chinese place together once and the staff were howling with laughter at the white kid using chopsticks opposite the Asian woman with a knife and fork. She learned how to use chopsticks shortly after, haha.
I'm quite partial to Lil Jon's All I Really Want For Christmas, featuring the Kool-Aid Man.
Yes, the Kool-Aid Man.
I'd assume it's the same as any other watermark; to mark content as being made/owned by the entity associated with the logo.
Too bad most Canadians are fucking idiots and didn't realize or understand that 80% of households benefitted from the Carbon Tax, receiving more than what they paid in the first place.
We just decided to kick the environment in the groin and take money away from the poorest Canadians. And somehow the oil companies and media oligarchies framed this as a win for the "working and middle classes".
As I read it, their argument is that fascism can only be sustained if a sizable number of people who would suffer under fascism actively support it.
If only the tiny minority of elites that benefits from fascism actually supported it, it wouldn't be near the level of popularity necessary to be sustainable.
My mom did this in high school when a guy who was stalking her threatened to kill himself.
He's still alive, over thirty years later.

This used to be a funhouse, but now it's ~~full of evil clowns~~ just a Bass Pro Shop.
As a kid from up north, Crystal Palace was my favourite part of shopping trips to Moncton. When I was a student at UdeM, we frequently bemoaned Crystal Palace's closing. Playing laser tag or mini-golf stoned with classmates would have been amazing.
I had to drive around 1500km this past weekend in a rented mini-van. I don't own a car, so that's probably more distance than I've covered in a motor vehicle in the past 5 years.
Today, back home and on my way to work, there was rather torrential rain, but I was still so thankful to be back on the bike.
(Happy National Acadian Day to all Acadians!)
Craquez-vous une Alpine, mettez du 1755 ou les Hay Babies, pis faites du tapage pour laisser savoir aux Anglais qu'on est still là!
Two cappuccinos I made one after the other in my café today. This couple came in and wanted large cappuccinos, so I made them in our 16oz cups. Not my cup of tea (nor coffee) but if I can make what you want, I will! Unfortunely, my muscle memory is attuned to steaming/pouring 8oz capps, and so the first one came out somewhat more phallic than I intended 😅
The only thing worse than a shitty pour is a shitty pour in the same order as a drink you nailed.
I'm just curious! I'd love to know what type of cafés anyone here is working at.
My current café is kinda old-school Italian style coffee-wise but much more laid back and add some hippy-granola vibes for good mesure. Our beans are roasted in-house, and pretty much all the food we sell is made in-house as well, down to the sauces, and anything we don't make ourselves is bought locally.
I've worked in two other cafés prior to this one. The first was a kinda upscale third-wave spot that mostly attracted yuppies, and the equipment far surpassed the training of any of the staff. We had pourovers on the menu and maybe 1 and a half employees actually knew how to brew with a V60.
The second was a hardline traditional Italian-style café, which, if you're familiar with the coffee culture in Canada (where I live) vs Italy, is a silly idea. A lot of people here only know Tim Horton's or Starbucks, especially in a mostly rural province like where I'm situated. You have to meet people where they're at; scoffing at people for wanting sweetener in their latte isn't likely to encourage them to jump into the coffee world in whichever way one deems proper. It'll only encourage them to stick to Timmies or Starbucks instead of checking out local cafés with actually good coffee.
(For some context, I live in Canada, beer labels are bilingually English & French here)
