What I was getting at is that it’s harder to fight evolution and it takes time. Advocating for meat free lifestyles would most likely push different evolutionary traits in a few million years. And you have to consider cultural influences as well. Additionally, veganism is more prominent in higher income countries because of food processing and “health food” taxes cost money, so many vegan items aren’t inexspensive. Those people that are too impoverished to afford a full vegan diet would starve without meat. Also consider those places where the land can’t be fertilized and farmed. Those people as well would starve. Trade could resolve that only if they can afford it.

Eating meat is considered in most scientific thoughts as an evolutionary trait that occurred due to humans’ original nomadic nature. Meaning it was easier to hunt an animal for food than having to replace energy and proteins with plants. Plus at the time meat was introduced into the human diet, we would have had to compete with grazing animals, and edible plants were scarce. There are many good alternatives to meat, and I personally agree that cattle industries have gone too far in many regards. However, meat is still one of the easiest ways to give yourself the nutrients required for the human body

What about a goatee?

Oh yeah I’m aware. I’m not worried about it. I wouldn’t have even figured it out if a couple of people didn’t try to taunt me.

Unfortunately atm, none of then are funny.

Too many questions. Banned

I saw one vegan person call it meatsplaining. Funniest and dumbest new word I’ve heard in a long time

Bet you’re on the ban list now. Shit! I’m talking to you. Guess I’m on the ban list now too

She beat him with that black magic

I don’t know what game she’s trying to play, but it’s definitely a game

Fast track to an IP ban. Front of the line with you

You’re absolutely right. Ultimately we need to have a good talk about it

I get what you’re saying, and I’ve cooled off. You’re right.

I understand what you’re saying, but the one defining factor is her requesting I make them food. I’ve made many dishes for her to share under the idea they’re meant to share, and we’ve agreed that whatever leftovers are available after she got her fill are free game. I’ve even made special dishes for the people she works with upon request. Absolutely zero problem with that. If they asked directly to make them a meal, I’d 500% do it because, and like I said, I’ll be damned that someone is hungry if I have control of it. But the past few nights, I’ll make enough leftovers for her coworkers, and she doesn’t take them. It pisses me off because now I’m in a situation to either eat the leftovers or throw the food away, and I’ve always been under the idea that if you microwave food and don’t eat it all, the rest is garbage.

I always aim to avoid that altogether making enough for multiple people to eat after microwaving it, but when she doesn’t take the prescribed leftovers, it’s going to be heated up once, and then it’s garbage after that

She didn’t explicitly ask me to make food, but she had told me that sometimes her coworkers don’t have lunch. Making meals from scratch costs pennies to the dollar, and I’ve heard the complaint enough to adjust my cooking standard to cook for 5 people. I know my wife cares about these people, so I care about these people, and I WILL not have someone go hungry, so if you if I get a hint otherwise, you’re getting a meal. However, I don’t think my wife has the same logic as I do. I hate wasting food, and I won’t do it if I can help it, so when she leaves the leftovers that are meant to feed all of her coworkers, it upsets me

I’m sorry. This was kind of a venting session. We’re gonna have a good talk about it tonight. I get what you’re saying and I appreciate you, but this talk is definitely happening

We talking about the verb or the noun? I also have been look at the word “shut” too long and now it looks weird

I can’t necessarily speak on the history of Vietnam accurately except I know around that time there were certain parts of Vietnam that were under famine. I cannot accurately speak on the truth of that however. The pet eating scare in the US right now however is a radical scare tactic. There’s been an uptick in pet ownership in the US and a downtime in child birth meaning people are putting more stock in their pets than putting stock in having children. So with that being said, how do you scare people into your corner, you tell them their stock is threatened? That’s right. The Trump brigade is using lies as a scare tactic

Not necessarily whatever you want because you have to follow DOT standards, but utility locating is a good one. The standard is steel toe, reflective vest, and in some cases, a hard hat. Other than that, you’re good unless the company mandates something different. You can also get good money, experience, and networking in that field. Since you’re such a young person, and if you have a good personal drive, you’d greatly excel at it because it is a relatively physical job

It’s tribalism. We’re unfortunately all guilty of it in one way or another and it has become more serious with the increase of social media use

I like this explanation in particular: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/beyond-school-walls/202304/tribalism-in-the-age-of-social-media

Edit: to add, I am suspecting that I’m still getting brigaded by a group I pissed off last week. It really doesn’t bother me if they are doing that, but there are people that take their internet points more serious than I do so there are definitely people in the fediverse that will do that to you
