Lol, you can't get protein from vegetables. Why is your wife regurgitating big bean propaganda.

I bet she thinks gorillas are natty 🤣

If I'm so poor that I have to eat meat I can hardly afford to not maximise poverty foods like steak.

I know, but it's more sustainable this way and we all need to make sacrifices for the planet

Awww 🥰🥰🥰🤩 that's so nice to say. I try do my bit for the environment, I only eat whale hunted by tall ships and so on.

Fur and chromium tanned hide is so much better for the environment than plastic, which only vegans use in their clothes.

Of course, which I guess reminds me. Some people that are anti coke have bad reasons or are really insufferable. I wouldn't want anyone to think I was like them .

Realistically I'll have to look into this before trusting a random comment and I probably wont because it's half the world away from me and he's dead anyway.

I am sure there is some subtly in personal culpability though because between Mao and peasants killing birds was a whole bureaucracy that evidentally thought it was worth doing (and idk how much is slavish obedience/fear).

Temujin personally killed a lot of people. Like personally ordered the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people and his overall campaign was ~10% of human population at the time an estimated 40 million, which seems to be comparable to famine figures even if we personally blame both of them. Dude was a certified maniac and I think that especially given the overall lower population at the time and deliberate murderous intentions stands as histories greatest monster and most murderous person.

Like personally? I often feel like attributing famines solely to one person is a bit messed up, although there are cases like Bengal where specific government individuals were enthusiastic .

The party later distanced themselves from him somewhat, so presumably they thought his ideas could be improved on but I had thought a lot of china and USSR famines rested on really dumb ideas about industrial agriculture that were popular in many places + officials hiding bad numbers + desperate need to show immediate superiority of alledgedly better numbers + upheavals of massive civil was and ww2.

temujin? who claims he's leftist?

CRISPR is possibly one of the most significant technologies invented this century lmao. It's a technique for inserting base sequences into DNA at targetable sites, the idea being that you can attach their expression to the expression of another sequence.

It enables making transgenic organisms reliably. You can actually like order sequences and do it at home with a little knowhow.

Have a read about it, it's truly one of the most exciting things of our lifetime.

I'm sorry, I was just trying to raise her in line with my values. I would never dream of commenting on another person's life. Of course when she was an adult I would encourage her to use as much heroin as she wanted and would even help her rob elderly people to afford it.
