Yep Big meat and dairy is doing the same in the food industry. Fuck those corpos.

Here's a video about the subject in the US https://youtu.be/hmCvD9KxSB8

Pignorant is another investigation into UK gas chambers for pigs that's available on Prime video btw.

Let's abolish slaughterhouses.

Israel was never the Nazis' victim, Jewish people were. Israel is not equal to Jewish people and this is doing a huge disservice to all the Jewish people around the world fighting against this colonial state.

Yeah, two years ago I was kinda not sure what the issue was not actually following the thing too closely. Then I watched Shaun's video essay on YouTube, discussed with some trans friends about the issue and started checking her twitter.

She literally only tweets about trans people all day every day and often insinuates they are rapists/pedo etc.

She's crazy.

That's it, now I'm gonna go eat twice as many legumes as I usually eat just because of this post!

The idea behind it really appeals to me. However, Guix is so niche that I felt like it was not worth the effort to actually daily drive it. I went the NixOS way instead and have been daily driving it now for almost 2years. I'm really satisfied with the paradigm immutable and reproducible os. I also manage my servers this way and it makes it really easy to rollback stuff.

The learning curve is the same as for any language but you have to relearn how to manage an os this way as it can be really different than a trad os. It forces you to really understand for example how packages traditionally expect to link to various libs available on your system.

As long as he sticks to subjects he clearly understands. Everytime I've read or watched one of his take on veganism/anti-specism I was left dumbfounded and ashamed for him.

Wait school zone speed limits in the US is higher than 30km/h ?

In my country school zone speed limit is usually 20km/h and there are tons of residential areas as well as more and more cities that restricts big portion of their roads to 30km/h.

This is mostly done to reduce noise pollution as well as mortal accidents.

Do you have a source for that? As I have close friends affected by MS I'd be really interested in reading a paper about it and sharing it with them.

From my initial searches I can't seem to find anything else than this being a proposed theory among others.

Edit: I've found this article https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/study-suggests-epstein-barr-virus-may-cause-multiple-sclerosis suggesting it's at least one of the factor but not the source of it.

In real life cows are sentient as well.

It clearly has nothing to do with the dairy lobby pushing hard everywhere to prevent people from switching to ecologically and humanely better alternative because they don't want to lose the fat subsidies they get from the government.

They try to push these legislations under the guise that it could induce the consumer in error, my ass.

Let's blame fun cartoons instead.

Let's not forget the cost with their lives the cows have to bear for us to get milk.

Forcefully impregnated, their babies taken away to be slaughtered as veal or to become milk cows. And all that for a fraction of their lifespan only to be slaughtered when their milk production starts to decline...

This isn't true anymore in Switzerland. Since January 2023 you just go to your civil office state you want to change your gender and pay the administrative fee and you're good.

You don't even need a medical diagnostic.
