Does no one else see that Clarence Thomas (who has been accused [with proof] that he took millions in “gifts”) is sitting on a court that just overturned a rule the would hold him accountable to receiving those gifts?

What the actual fuck?

Is there going to be a section of learning on the Quran? What about Buddhist texts? Any essay requirements for the Satanic Temple?

Government contracts to rebuild infrastructure would be won by private industry.

1. there will be 2 commercial breaks.

A) Is this is so the old folks can have a potty break? B) How capitalist have we become that we commercialize the presidential debate openly? I wonder if these will be SuperBowl-level ads.

Assassin’s Creed says what?

You know?

It’s just one of those days.

Not allegations.

ADMISSION of molestation.

I have been a beekeeper for years. I agree that the bees are NOT in their natural habitat. However, I keep a significantly better control of the environment than the bees do in this habitat. It is better for the surrounding area, and I have talked my neighbors out of pesticide use because my bees will help pollinate their gardens and trees.

One extra note from the ko-fi article: I have never, ever heard of the practice of trimming queen wings. That is vicious, and I would never do that. Let the bees be bees. If they leave, I wasn’t doing a good enough job of supporting them. I am not a commercial beekeeper, though. Merely someone who likes being around them all year.

Yes. Some health concerns started me thinking about my diet. Regular blood tests in my case means one baseline to basically kick everything off, followed by another 6 weeks later, and 2 subsequent follow up.

I play all my GOG games on the Steam Deck. It takes only a very small amount of tweaking. Additionally, I add them as “non-steam games” in the library, update the artwork and icon, and have a very clean interface.

I play Minecraft on the Deck the same way.

Get ready for the Baphomet statue…

I am currently working to make better decisions on what I eat and what products i consume. I’ve already switched over to chemicals and clothing that don’t test on animals or contain animal products. I’ve made changes to the diet, and I have taken “Meatless Mondays” out to only having meat once per month. I still eat eggs (I raise my own chickens), and I still eat honey (beekeeper). I haven’t had cows milk in years, but I really struggle with cheese. I’m getting there.

You’re right: it is a struggle. Your body gets used to what it knows. And if I can say it this way: I don’t think most carnists consume animal products specifically for the suffering of other animals. They do so because the food tastes the way they expect, the clothes feel the way they expect, and the products work the way they expect. I just don’t think that they think about it.

which means it often comes along with judgemental opinions about carnists

I would disagree with this portion of your post if it said most or all vegans. I have found most vegans are making a personal decision without passing judgement on others.

Even so, there absolutely are militant vegans who want to shame others, and those vocal minority give the rest a bad name.

Source: Spouse is vegan. I am supportive, slowly changing my diet. Blood tests show really positive results. I still don’t understand honey.

Nope. I actually never want to be described as nice.

Fair, though? Yes, I would like to think that I am fair.
