We only have one house rule: anyone who suggests Uno gets beaten.

just use awk

Threatening to MURDER a stranger you don’t even know the fucking NAME of because they are messing with your COD or whatever is peak toddler temper tantrum energy. If you don’t like it, FUCKING STOP SHOVING CAPITAL LEVERAGE DOWN YOUR OWN THROAT. Seriously. Don’t pretend like this is some kind of big moral or ethical thing with the flesh of vulnerable individuals still stuck between your teeth. This is childish and self-centered, not principled.

THIS is why you need more irl time

what did people think “the information economy” would look like??

I watch movies every week and I haven’t seen any of those movies. Your basic-ass experiences are not universal.

I find it very difficult to cope with the constant needless cruelty and violence against vulnerable individuals practiced gleefully by every carnist around me.

this is why you need more irl time

I get it, you’re not vegan, why do you have to bring it up ten times a day

It’s not a “blood moon” it’s a partial eclipse.

At typical driving rates, over a lifetime of driving, the average American motorist will kill 0.006 to 0.01 people in collisions with pedestrians (not counting cyclists). Put another way, every 1,000 miles an American drives imposes about 12 micromorts of death on pedestrians from collisions alone.

Lol it’s just the Weekly World News. You’re getting mad at Ed Anger.

Factually incorrect. That is true of metric units but not imperial. The inch is officially defined in terms of metric units.

Neat. I walk.

okay. now what? If you have a point to make, I suggest you just come out and make it and stop talking around your point. Otherwise you waste both of our time. “Animal abuse” isn’t the name of a specific crime and most forms of animal abuse ARE NOT CRIMES.

Canada has some of the weakest animal protection laws in the Western world. Animals are property with no rights. The protections that exist are mere lip-service. Prosecutions are extremely rare and most forms of cruelty that people commonly practice are perfectly legal.

Do you really want me to tell you what I think about Islam and animal abuse? Why are you bringing this up?

You can place an animal in the open back of a truck in -30C weather and ship them 1,000km, knowing the whole time that the animal will arrive dead, and it is not a crime. No one will bat an eye because it happens THOUSANDS of times a year here in Canada.

You can take a perfectly healthy and happy animal, and stab it right in the throat, because you want the meat, or because you like stabbing animals, and it is not a crime. This also happens many thousands of times a year here in Canada.

Certain animals (mainly pets) have very limited protection against abuse, but those laws do not protect the life of the animal or protect the animal from needless suffering, cruelty, or violence. Factory farming exceeds these protections routinely, but the law is set up in many provinces to make reporting these crimes effectively itself a crime.

You can do whatever you want.

Look, we don’t all play pokemon.

ha ha okay

Because while euthanasia is generally a good thing, there are also big potentials for abuse and unnecessary tragedy. We maintain a pretense of caring about these things with humans and so most governments err on the side of caution while others think they’re such hot shit they can dance their way through the quagmire. Meanwhile, we openly don’t give a single fuck what happens to non-human animals, and our culture is predicated on treating them like objects, so you’re allowed to do whatever you want with them. Kill them because they’re suffering, kill them because they bark too loud, it’s all the same. It’s your dog-shaped object, go nuts.
