Yep, tofu is very much its own thing and not just (or even primarily) a replacement for meat.

I've been eating tofu for a long time, well before I stopped eating meat.

The wounds from this are absolutely heinous and often fatal. Any relaxation of their containment is a huge unforced error.

Advertising for a fucking war that another nation started. If that's not dystopian, then I don't know what is.

"Every Breath You Take" by The Police starts playing in the background

BBC's decision raises concerns of impartiality.

Yeah, his comment was most definitely targeted.

No thanks, I'm good.

My reaction whenever I see this piece of shit pop up anywhere: I don't like you, jerk-off

Music seems to tap into something very primal and has a significant effect on my mood.

Music is one of my greatest joys in life.

It usually goes something like that. I’d like to point out here that there isn’t a constitutional right to wear pants or eat bacon either.

One could similarly say that the right to wield violence does not mean that you have the right for that violence to actually succeed. Some situations allow for the legal use of deadly force, but that still does not mean the explicit right to kill. If a threat is neutralized and they survive, you can't "make sure" that they don't.

Learn something new every day

One of the things I've learned in life is that one should minimize reliance on behaviorial safeguards throught the use of mechanical safeguards. You shouldn't rely on people to do the right thing. As such, removing opportunities for them to fuck up is key.

The design and production of rubber bullets, as they are here, is pure negligence. That they kill 3% of their victims (per your graphic) is enough that I would wager that they would be considered a lethal weapon in other contexts.
