I once saw a black cat.

The fact that you posted a link to this video from YouTube not peer tube says a lot.

Or, hear me out, just eat more veggies. Much lower risk of disease spread (though yes, as I’m sure others well be eager to point out, they can carry pathogens, would you rather take your chances with a raw carrot or a raw chicken breast)

The browser version at least does not have the ability to take screenshots, but you will always be tracked on the websites you use, especially if their business model is advertising-based

Good thing I have no friends to interact with then! Take that, Microsoft!

save you a click: it’s in-app tracking and device screenshots. Don’t install apps that have a working website. Also don’t use Facebook.

“There were no audio leaks at all – not a single app activated the microphone,” said Christo Wilson, a computer scientist working on the project. “Then we started seeing things we didn’t expect. Apps were automatically taking screenshots of themselves and sending them to third parties. In one case, the app took video of the screen activity and sent that information to a third party.”

Out of over 17,000 Android apps examined, more than 9,000 had potential permissions to take screenshots. And a number of apps were found to actively be doing so, taking screenshots and sending them to third-party sources.

And on the animal ethics side dairy is often considered worse - forced endless cycle of birth and separation of mothers from their calves, most calves slaughtered. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows just because you aren’t eating the corpses.

Or veggies. Veggies are always nice.

WRI published an interesting article on this subject a week or so ago:

Systemic pressure [e.g. voting / collective action] creates enabling conditions, but individuals need to complete the loop with our daily choices. It’s a two-way street — bike lanes need cyclists, plant-based options need people to consume them. When we adopt these behaviors, we send critical market signals that businesses and governments respond to with more investment.

WRI’s research quantifies the individual actions that matter most. While people worldwide tend to vastly overestimate the impact of some highly visible activities, such as recycling, our analysis reveals four significant changes that deliver meaningful emissions reductions.

Veggie - not “mains”, not complex enough

Plant based meats - too complex

IDK, but it sounds like you haven’t really tried the full spectrum of offerings from plants. It’s not just beyond meat and celery out there - There’s a whole spectrum of flavors and if you want more, but not the full punch of a plant based meat, maybe try incorporating more variety into your plate

Vegetables aren’t so scary, are they?

How does that work? Do you never eat meat when you go out?

There aren’t a ton of places in the world with a good supply of vegetarian/vegan food AND enough of an ag industry you can go around petting your meat.

Good on you!

When my wife and I started being conscious about our food intake, it wasn’t too bad to give up red meat, and shrink meat portions / add veggies.

It took us months of learning / trying new recipes to actually get to the point where we were consistently eating fewer than 14 meat-centric meals a week (lunch/dinner). Once we got comfortable cooking plant based dishes though, we had built up so much momentum that we went from 1 or 2 plant based meals a week to 100% in just a few weeks.

It takes a long time to build up that comfort level, but at some point a switch just flips and the new “normal” is just as easy as what you were used to.

They’ve gotta check with best friend’s cousins former roommate who runs a “sustainable” slaughter house where they “exclusively” (once a year) source their meat.

Yeah but maybe their toes are just jammed up all the way to the front and they don’t know how shoes work! You never know!

Mmm school cafeteria fish, sounds delish and like nothing could be even remotely disappointing about that option.

At first glance I thought this was rimworld and you were running some organ harvesting operation of epic proportions.

Trump’s a big fan of throwing out decades of precedence and international agreements. UK should formally renounce the Treaty of Paris and just to fuck with him.

I think about your text randomly once a week for the rest of eternity. Each time I go, “Nah, at this point it would be weird to follow up.”
