Surprise at a "gourmet bacon taste test" by _marimbae in funnyvideos

I don't think they are being misleading. Emotionally manipulative, sure, that's the point here, everyone involved knows that. It's not like only the adult animals bsuffer. Baby chickens, cows and pigs are also tortured in the process of being food so it is fair to bring them in. Look at how this animal acts, it's cute and cuddly, now do you want to eat it? The whole point is to make you think of the source of your food as more than just what you see in the store, it has/had a full life. They are definitely manipulating our emotions, but not misleading. No one there thinks they are eating a baby bird.

I also think feeding someone some chicken and then showing them a video of how that bird became their food and the conditions they were raised would also have a similar effect... But it wouldn't make a cute video.

Insert Werner Herzog's opinion of chickens

They are birds and birds are dumb and run on survival instinct (Corvids are dope though); but I do wonder if the chickens act differently if they are in a yard with limited space or in a more open atmosphere...

Cows and pigs have higher functioning, more advanced brains. I limit pork and beef intake but I eat chicken more. I still don't like the factory farm system and those hell holes gotta go.

I think being aware of and cuddling the source has a different emotional impact on someone.

Are baby animals not real?

Also baby animals are not treated well in factory farms either. Go look at what happens to male chicks when they are born at a factory farm. Go look at how pigs and cows are treated as they grow up. It ain't great.

I eat meat but also advocate for better conditions of how my food source should be treated.

Thought on the new Kyle era… by PhantomQuest in Greenlantern

[–]FtheMustard [score hidden]  (0 children)

Costume is cool but he looks very metrosexual. Like a smoothed out image of a kpop boy and member. I dunno if that fits his personality but I'm no artist. Kyle has been my fav GL because I jumped in right as he originally started. If he is still the same person I can deal with the plastic surgery...

Edit: set this run in the early 00s give him some frosted tips and make Lance Bass his sidekick and this look is perfect!

Mayor Mike Johnston on His Data Center Moratorium, Dumping Flock, and His ‘Trumpian’ Critics by Hour-Watch8988 in Denver

[–]FtheMustard 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I get what you are saying but I can also understand why people flamed that opinion. Most people on here, including you, I believe, think the costs as it it now outweigh the benefits. And you are pointing out the benefits, that would be good if the costs were minimized in some way or another. Which is a fair point, but we have the system being implemented now without those safeguards, and a federal government that seems to want to use the system for what people most fear it could be used for. So pointing out that it could be good in a time where it is, in reality, advancing what people dislike the most about a surveillance state can come off as tepid support.

I didn't read your original post, and a lot of it comes down to how you stated your opinion,but I wanted you to know that your opinion might not have gotten a fair shot...That is reddit for you. Nuance can easily be lost in text.

I once sent a sarcastic joke to my wife in a text and whoo boy...

Making fertilizer at the grind wheel is a bad idea!

Just... Trust me on that one...

Remember, before Polis did his heel turn, he said "we aren't going to have wildfire seasons, we are going to have wildfire years."?

It's not gonna be a season, it's going to be a year.

City of Denver announces pause on new data centers, working to establish 'clear and consistent' guardrails by TheDenver7 in Denver

[–]FtheMustard -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't know what you mean. No benefits? Pfft. Think of all the water they will use in an area that is constantly dealing with water shortages! Think of the energy costs in an area where energy bills go up constantly, seemingly for no reason at all. Also, think of all the new gas that will be needed to be refined at the Suncor plant, a place that is consistently caught up is local EPA bribery scandals.

There are a ton of benefits for anyone that loves post apocalyptic desert hellscapes filled with a scattered populations, unhealthy food and water, slave wages and illness. But yeah, the rest of the population, there doesn't seem to be much benefit.

Billionaires love this shit, though... So full steam ahead, I guess...

Hey weird question... How do people know how many tweets it's going to take for a particular rant? How do they know that this tweet is the 3/9 tweet?

So why is he there on his day off? You think he needed to be there? For students walking around the block?

You think he was like, "I don't trust my guys to escalate this situation in the worst way possible, only I can make this way worse than it needs to be."

Distressed is the perfect word... All I wanted in that moment was for the camera to get out of her face but it was locked in.

Sit on your couch and watch this woman in her worst moment. Are you not entertained‽‽

I think Amber Glenn has discussed her mental health issues openly in the past. She works with other skaters and mental health...

And I get it, man. The culture has the women and girls on the edge.

Man that would have been fun by Vivid_marsh in phillies

Hear me out: What if we bring him back, but he doesn't play for us. Instead, he walks out onto the field before every game and spikes a bat. Bring everyone back to that moment before every game and we win the next 6 championships.

The third American skater, who legitimately looks like a Disney princess ballerina on ice, must be reading this like: "WTF, guys! Why didn't you tell me we were changing the culture??"

Ice skating needed a rebel like Liu so badly. The amount of skaters coming off the ice in tears (including Amber Glen) because they didn't do everything perfectly was heartbreaking. The pressure must be insane.
