The original picture is obviously super cool, but of course the hand is just a hand. The caption says none of them are leaves, not all are insects.

Yeah, no idea why I felt the need to correct this

True, but then health impacts of normal meat (over-) consumption are a concern too. No idea if perhaps the unnaturally uniform lab meat has less diverse macro and micro nutrients, but then again, nobody knows (I suspect, prove me wrong otherwise). But yea, over all this wasn't my biggest concern anyways so it hardly changes my outlook either way

I'd love to but can't find them in a supermarket near me. I'll keep looking

Well, the last time I checked in they were still relying on fetal bovine serum and cancer cell growth to make lab meat production work (look it up yourself tho). I mean on paper it seems like good option if animal suffering is your concern, but (long term) health impacts of cancer meat are still a mild concern ig. And also it's exorbitantly expensive (citation needed) if you can even buy it and still requires loads of resources to produce. I'd much prefer a cheap alternative, not imitation, for cheap meat. It may be hard to replace a grilled stake (in flavor, texture and most of all people's preference) but looking at cheap pink slices of processed goo I half way expect them to already be vegan, but like in a really bad way. I feel like meat alternatives should start where it's easy and tackle 'authentic' meat a later time. In the meantime I'm way more concerned with ending special meat subsidies in favor of supporting resource efficient vegan alternatives. Make vegan food cheap and people will follow, no need for perfection. For the record I'm not (quite) a vegan and price and convince are like the only things holding me back so far.

Happy to help! ig

A cursory glance at your comment history suggests you're perhaps in the wrong community. Not to gatekeep, come here with curiosity, humor and in good faith and you shall be received likewise!

in other types of media Anime is done to indicate CSAM but in anime Anime is not

if a tv series shows Anime it is trying to potray child sexual abuse

anime isn’t doing that they are just normalising Anime.

Alright, so.. I did originally mean your post, but I had not properly watched the video (skimmed cause didn't have 30 mins). So now that I've seen more, I'd like to correct myself.

First of all, I agree with your take on political organizing outside of mainstream elections. I think this is the best (perhaps only) tool of truly improving our democracies and lives. I actually think some level of organization and self-education is my democratic duty.

And yes, I also think the regular buzz around elections is a thinly veiled disguise for a distraction from relevant politics. However, only because my vote won't fix much, doesn't mean it can't make things worse.

Voting may not work to improve a democracy, but it sure works to damage it. Depending on how deteriorated your voting system is (bad representation, easily gerrymandered,..) an election may only be a choice between bad and worse. So I vote for the least bad option and use the opportunity as a painful reminder of how messed up my democracy already is. And then I do actual politics outside of the booth to try and fix it.

The reason I alleged astroturfing is because there are antidemocratic interest groups, very intent on getting leftists to not vote. Your title (I know, it's just the video title) doesn't make a clear distinction between "voting isn't enough" and "voting is useless/don't do it".

I think we might agree on a great many things and just had a bad start (next time I'll watch the vid first, but in my defense your title is misleading too). I'd rather work together with a fellow leftists towards improvement, then be needlessly divided.

Yeah, maybe I was seeing a connection where the was none here. I still think YouTube might popularize and normalize some of our hobbies, but perhaps not that much.

This is just ragebait, right? I mean it looks the part, got the reaction. No way it's genuine, right?
