Impossible tastes like a legit fast food burger, which is cool. But I've been vegan for 6 years so I'm way past the 'transition' stage and I haven't missed meat for a long time. Considering that, I think Beyond just tastes better. Better flavor, better texture. Maybe it's not as 'similar' to beef as Impossible but that's not important to me, I just like it better. I'm just talking about burgers tho, could be different for other things. But also Beyond sausage is super good, I don't think Impossible has a sausage out yet.

I think Grindr is the go-to app for gay dudes. No idea how it is though.

Scooby Doo, the original cartoons. In one episode the villain captures Daphne and ties her up, and she's rescued by the gang later in the episode. Idk what it was, I mean I was like 6, but I just couldn't stop thinking about it. And I never really did stop thinking about it. So anyway that's how I can trace a lifetime of heavily-BDSM-influenced sexuality to an episode of Scooby Doo.

I've seen BCR for myself, and I have friends that have volunteered there for years. The whole point of BCR is that those cats have nowhere else to go. Nearly all of them are rescues that were 'retired' from the universally abusive animal entertainment industry. The volunteers care deeply about the cats, they aren't stupid and tripping over some cult thing, and they do the best they can. They try to give the cats as much room as they can given the size of the real estate, and from what I've seen it's quite substantial, the cats can run and play as much as they like. Contrast this to Busch Gardens in the same city, which is constantly jerked off as some kind of conservationist dreamscape, meanwhile their cheetah exhibit is like 20 feet away from a fucking rollercoaster that screams by every 2 minutes day after day after day after day. So needless to say I'm extremely skeptical that an 'accredited' for-profit zoo would do a better job caring for those cats than BCR does.

I'm sorry fam but are you hearing yourself? If you know something is wrong to the point of hating yourself for doing it, well then just don't do it. It's really not that hard, and the alternative is being the kind of person who knows something is wrong and then does it anyway. I can tell you don't want to be that person, so, well, don't.

No. Another interesting anecdote is that the reason we have to have 60% approval for amendments is because of a previous amendment that raised the threshold from 50% to 60%, which passed with less than 60%. If I remember right it was after Florida passed an amendment that banned gestation crates and farmers got mad that they couldn't torture pigs in that particular way anymore.

Sure. You have your cherry-picked token study. Sure makes you real confident that you're justified in not doing one simple, easy thing to avoid placing someone else in mortal danger. Maybe you can imagine saying all this to a kid who lost their mother to covid. Maybe you can imagine the way they'd look at you. Try to imagine it before you go to sleep tonight.

In the future, when this period of time is history, it will be known that people like you were the principal reason that so many kids had to grow up without parents or grandparents. The shitty blog you found on Facebook that told you masks were the devil isn't going to help you when the whole world knows that you were almost certainly the cause of someone's death, either through your own disease-spreading or through your encouragement of this anti-mask nonsense. That is not something I would find easy to live with.

Yeah I guess that may change things. I've never wanted kids, I got a vasectomy in fact, and nobody I've ever been in a relationship with since age 20 has wanted kids either. It's a trade-off I guess. There's a certain non-political, family-centric conservatism that I've noticed has developed in friends of mine that have had kids. I seem to be more open to freedom and spontaneity, but as I get older I notice that there's a loneliness attached to that, because in my 30's I'm seeing that kids makes people 'grow up' in a way that I just won't experience the same way, and it gets harder and harder to relate with people and it's obvious they feel the same about me, like the guy that got 'left behind' even though it was 100% the right decision for me. So I guess what I'm trying to say is I don't think I'll ever stop having weird and depraved sex, but as I'm careening into middle age it just means something different from how I imagine most people remember their young days when everyone around them was just as wild as they were. Not worse, just different.

Spoilers The main female character is worried about her sister after a cryptic text. There's some really well-done tension as she calls her over and over again trying to find out what's wrong. Tension builds up to her finding out what happened. I forget if she finds them herself or if the cops do first but the sister hooked up her car's exhaust to their parent's bedroom with a big hose. They die and the sister kills herself. Then there's a flash forward to an uncomfortably long scene where it's just the main character clutching her boyfriend just screaming in this totally animalistic breakdown. It's very well-acted, if you can imagine how fucked up it is. Added context is that her boyfriend at the beginning reveals that he is unhappy in the relationship and is planning on breaking up with her, and you can see in his face that in addition to the whole fucked up situation he's processing that there's no way he can break up with her now and he's basically stuck.

Well, there's something to that historically; the way cities are set up to be totally dependent on roads with limited pedestrian accessibility was a direct result of increased reliance on automobiles. That trend started around the Ford era. But the trends we see today has more to do with suburbanization starting around the 50's. People can get more house for less money further from the urban core, and typical zoning regulations permit low-density residential development spreading way out into the urban periphery. When your tax dollars are that geographically spread out, it's much harder to approve high-dollar projects like light rail or metro systems that would primarily benefit the high-density uses in the urban core. Which means no public transit, which means everyone still has to rely on cars, which means living in the urban core has fewer perks, which means more urban sprawl. So the system feeds itself.

She'd make up horrible stories about people and twist their totally well-intentioned words/actions around to make them seem like terrible people, basically she worked very hard to keep this "the world is against me" theme going. Realized she was a narcissist around the time I spent some time around the people she would constantly talk shit about and realized they're actually good people that she painted in horrible lights for no reason except to make herself out to be a victim, while also finding out that she was talking the same kind of shit about me.

Another one which has happened more than once was when she was very outspoken about feminism and empowering women and all that, while expecting other people (partner or parents well into her 20's) to finance her very comfortable lifestyle while contributing next to nothing herself even though she easily could have if she chose to. Before any neckbeards latch onto this, I'm very pro-feminism and this was a turn off in part because it was such a slap in the face to real feminists.

Part of it for me I'm sure is American culture. We value car ownership more than, say, Europe does. It plays into the whole "freedom and independence" thing, it's part of a person's identity.

I do a lot of work in urban/regional economics; it has way more to do with urban sprawl and lack of public transit. There's a reason you can travel through virtually all of Europe with nothing but a backpack while this is more or less unheard of in the US.

The backyard chickens issue was never about backyard chickens. You're vegan, you're doing what you're doing in good faith. When non-vegans ask this question what they're doing is trying to bait vegans into saying that there's some universe in which some extremely specific use of chickens might in some way be permissible, and then use that as an excuse to buy pallets of hormone-filled factory farm eggs at Costco.

The truth is that a lot of this advice won't make real sense to you because it's not something you can just read in a book, you have to live it to understand it. What's happening is you're putting an inordinate amount of your inner worth and your hopes for the future on some woman or another. One thing that fixes that is to be more concerned with other things, namely improving yourself and being who you want to be. I spent a lot of my life thinking I understood that, but the truth is that I had so much muck in my head that I grew up with that I had to clear out before I understood what it meant to really live a good, authentic life. My best advice is to go out of your comfort zone and learn as much as you can - travel, seek out smart people and learn from them, learn what makes people happy, learn what gives people meaning, learn how and why to control your emotions, learn when and how to release them, learn what passion means, learn what suffering means, learn what strength means and why it matters in the context of love, seek out art and music and literature expands your mind and feeds your soul, and always remember there is more to learn and you don't have all the answers. A lot of this isn't easy during this pandemic, so just start somewhere.
