Probably installing on separate drives.

Maintenance Vermont and NY are all on the map as having been annexed. But also, I think realistically, California could probably sustain itself for a good long while. It might be better off as trade partners than as a province of Canada.

I think it's more correct than sending the FUCKING MARINES TO SHOOT AT PEACEFUL PROTESTERS IN YOUR OWN FUCKING COUNTRY. Something something Tiennemen Square...

Hosting a podcast makes you a strong contender for a legislation position.

Black folks often use the N word casually to refer to each other as a form of taking back the word's meaning. It used to be used exclusively in a racist fashion. The primary difference is that with the African American accent, the ending sound -ER is changed to more of an -UH sound. Sometimes, rarely and depending on the context, it is allowable for non-black people to say it with this accented pronunciation. But under no circumstances is it in good taste to use the original -ER ending to refer to a black person as a non-black person, that form is only used as a slur. When people refer to the "Hard R", this is what they are talking about, the difference between the accented pronunciation as slang vs the original pronunciation intended as a slur.

They can do that because they don't have any wokeness

I'm not OP, the only position I stated was that many people dislike vegans because they position themselves as mightier than thou without checking their own privilege.

If you're going to try and turn this around on me, maybe you should try and find a way to make your counter point actually an effective one based on the information I had given you. I didn't express my privilege to you before you decided to tell me how unaware I am of it. In fact as far as you know before your comment, I could have been a citizen of one of those Mexican villages. Would you have told one of them to check their privilege? I doubt it. But then again, why would they bother arguing with such a tiny world view that assumes they were an edge case at best. Want to talk about the south east Asian farm towns in the same boat? How about aboriginals? Or the many African tribes.

All I know about you is that you're a vegan and you believe that anyone who eats meat is morally wrong and should feel ashamed for not just eating plant based protein. That's what you've given me. So I should assume that about you. What I shouldn't assume about you is that you're a well to do white person in a major metropolitan area of the US or Canada or some other first world power where you know where your next meal comes from and have a stable income. I shouldn't assume those things about you because you never said those things. See how that works? I know you're privileged because you don't worry about edge cases like poor Mexican villages or north Canadian Inuits. I also know you're privileged because you think your world view is more important than others' and you talk about it that way on the internet.

So now give it a good thought with the information you can glean from my prior comment to you. Did I say I was anti-veganism? Did I say I eat meat? Did I say I lived in one of those major metropolitan areas where everything is accessible? Is it safe to assume anything at all other than I dislike when people push their beliefs on others to make them feel bad about themselves when all they're trying to do is get by?

I wouldn't want an evangelist knocking at your door about becoming a Jehovah's witness just the same as I don't want people like you picking on perfectly good people who eat meat. Eating meat doesn't make you deserving of shame any more than a sinner in the eyes of a church.

And just like you said before how you think all meat eaters know that it's wrong, you might be projecting a little bit. Because I suspect you know it's kinda morally gross it is to evangelise through guilt even if the goal is an individual eating less meat.

No he's saying there are places that can't get 200g of tofu. So it would need to be imported which would make it cost more than 200g of meat. Also, often times, those places that don't have 200g of tofu, the people living there grow and eat their own livestock. I personally know of Mexican villages that don't have a grocery store within 150 miles. So like you've already been told once in the thread, check your privilege. I'm happy that you're happy about your dietary choices. I'm also especially happy for you that you have the opportunity to make those dietary choices. Not everyone can.

 

I had an idea in a dream where a pressure vessel had a buoyancy valve at the lowest point. The idea was that a ball would sit in a hole and water that may condense inside the vessel would lift the ball allowing the water to drain after which the pressure of the vessel would seal the ball back into place. That made me wonder about the possibility of a pressure based buoyancy valve and whether the physics were there.
