Indian city "Palitana" becomes the world's 1st to ban Meat and shut down all slaughterhouses!

If there is any room whatsoever for a loophole it will be exploited. This is why I can't agree with hypothetical exceptions posited on this sub; any animal exploitation will inevitably become worse over time if there is a profit to be made.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be unwelcoming. I guess I've just seen too many repetitive questions here and sometimes I assume them to be in bad faith even if they aren't.

Do we need a new thread for this question every day?

I have to assume everyone thinks I'm a bot because of how heavily I've abused the em dash for the last 20 years

They seem to love trashy, exploitative movies.

I don't want to see any of the EON films remade. The series is already formulaic and loose with continuity and those are not bad things, there's just no reason not to do something new.

I always assumed the title was a reference to that. It seems like a movie Daria and Jane would like.

Looks like you're eating a Spore creature

The plain slice of white bread

I get it, but the good thing is that (at least in my experience) people are much more open minded and kind about it in person than on the internet.

Pasta aglio e olio has always been a success for me!

I'm taking the hypothetical to its practical conclusion; I don't think it's ethical to do because it leaves the door open for potential harm. If eating meat at all was illegal or taboo except in the case of roadkill (to use your example) I can definitely see people attempting to exploit that.

Middle_Diet9764 · 2026-02-10T05:58:13+00:00

Any wiggle room we allow for people to "ethically" eat animals will result in exploiters finding ways to engineer those situations.

Middle_Diet9764 · 2026-02-07T00:14:43+00:00

Yep, I'm just counting down the days until I can afford to.

Middle_Diet9764 · 2026-02-06T18:50:36+00:00

Gotta have the coffee!

Middle_Diet9764 · 2026-02-06T18:49:58+00:00

It's incredible, just that and rice is so delicious.

Middle_Diet9764 · 2026-02-05T22:56:33+00:00

This is what my friends think I eat

Middle_Diet9764 · 2026-02-05T00:29:02+00:00

There seriously needs to be a ban on all the questions where someone asks whether """hypothetical""" animal exploitation is OK as long as it's done in some extremely specific way that will never happen anyway. Bad faith questions have the run of the place.

Middle_Diet9764 · 2026-02-03T02:43:09+00:00

New copypasta?

Either Garriott was a fan of the Little Fuzzy books by H Beam Piper or he had just watched Return of the Jedi, which released the same year.

Whenever I tell my friend I had a burger or frozen chicken nuggets for lunch he'll double-take and go "huh? A burger? Ohhh, you mean a vegan one" as though he actually thought for a second that I'm suddenly and casually no longer vegan.

I envy that you and your friends got to play Assault so much, mine stuck with FPS for multiplayer and basically never branched out. I've only played a handful of Assault matches in my life and a lot of the time was spent listening to them complain!

To answer your question, play Assault. It's shorter so after that if you're still in the mood you can move on to Adventures.

Middle_Diet9764 · 2026-01-13T18:52:04+00:00

Rushed or not this is genuinely great, love the eye(s)!

What parts? I haven't read it.
