The Inuit didn’t exist for thousands of years in the arctic circle eating only animals to spite vegans.

Their population is sparse and they had absolutely no energy to spare to expand or rise up in the world, they were too busy with the incredible energy expenditure that is hunting. They didn't choose to do this as a success option, they just have no other option because nothing will grow in their environment, so it's hunt or starve.

LOL what a joke, my ancestors lived on a diet of almost all bison

I highly doubt this. Meat in prehistoric societies was pretty hard to come by. When you exist on the same plane as the animals, you're subject to all the stuff they plan to do to make sure they're not going to get eaten. It's a hell of a lot easier and safer just to grow some plants or do some fishing or something.

I won't say it never happened that someone's ancestor's society was just killing it and eating bison burgers all the time but the diet where you can eat large animal meat is almost entirely a modern invention caused by our overflow of wealth and productivity.

Eating a lot of meat is not good for you, science has proven this time and time again.

Eating a lot of meat in the modern day will straight-up kill you in the long run (literally), because the meat is full of hormones, pesticides, antibiotics, disease from the conditions they were kept in, and God knows what else. Societies in the ancient world that sorted out how to eat meat consistently (one prime example being domesticating cattle successfully) started exploding across the landscape and overtaking all their neighbors, it's a pretty good formula as long as the meat is healthy for you.

I am pretty sure the carnivore community is just a big troll. Maybe it is some confused people, but it seems on Lemmy more likely to just be people taking the piss out of vegans.

And after that, citizens of the US. This all has nothing to do with deportation, it just happens that starting with the “other” is convenient because it lulls US people into thinking it won’t happen to them. The fact that ICE was already full-on into Gestapo tactics made things a little smoother, too.

Please accept our apologies, our country is trying to die though. It's kind of all we can think about.

Pretty much every modern election system tabulates the ballots electronically, but keeps around the paper ballots for random recounts or investigations. The only reason not to have the paper involved is if you're cheap / incompetent / don't care about election security, or if you specifically want to steal the election.

"Rubber bullet" is the common term, but it's a bunch of crap. Most of the time it's a huge metal ball wrapped in a thin sheet of rubber, which delivers about half the force of a live ammunition bullet.

If the accusation are accurate, then the amount that is confirmed by a comically and flagrantly obvious amount of blatant fraud is limited to one county that we know of.

Sure, it could be that one county and no other. Why are you assuming that it definitely is limited to just that county though?

Assuming the current trends pretty much continue, which they are guaranteed not to.

Not even sure what you're talking about, and also, no ads on YouTube. Whenever I enter the internet without it, it's alarming at this point.
