I don’t for a second believe that religion was required for people to have good morals. It was required for control.

Huntsman are big and fast but harmless, I love having them around because they are particularly good at hunting cockroaches.

They can bite and it’s similar to a bee sting but I let them run up my arm and never been bitten.

Huntsman don’t scare me at all but my mrs isn’t quite as nonchalant about them.

When catching it my biggest concern was squishing legs… they can move fast and make it difficult to catch cleanly.

 

Trump says Gaza should not be rebuilt by Palestinians, arguing neighbouring countries should build "domains" for their resettlement.

Are you saying illegal immigrants should illegally obtain firearms?

FYI a vasectomy isn’t a 100% guarantee against getting a woman pregnant as it can sometimes heal, even years after.

A DNA test should still have been ordered in that circumstance.

Try leaving a technically correct comment first.

Nah we have white eggs here too.

Obvious bait.

Even citing certain statistics is likely to earn a ban. It isn’t hard to imagine what, given that they are notoriously thrown around by actual racists.

[–] Cypher@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Pretty damn sure you would argue that quoting certain statistics would be racist.

Very US defaultism of you.

Are these best shearers not still commoditizing the products of the body of another thinking being?

What does that have to do with the question of whether or not the process of shearing is violent?

How do we know your claims of non-violent sheering are true?

How do you know PETAs claims are true? ("As reported by PETA, one eyewitness to the process said")

I've been an eyewitness to the process, and I'm not idealogically biased the way PETA extremists are known to be.

Where is the sheep in this shed, now?

What? This sentence just doesn't make sense. The sheep don't live in the shed.

The females of the breeds I have observed don't have horns, and their tails are docked to prevent excrutiatingly painful death by flystrike.

The alternative to wool production in Australia is cotton, which is even more environmentally destructive than sheep are, mostly due to the sheer amount of water required for cotton production. People need clothes so these industries aren't going away.

Shearers have an interest in not causing unecessary harm to sheep, because it is counter productive. That's my experience.

The rest of your argument is moralising which I am uninterested in.

Didn't get much actual shopping done. This isn't a rare thing or anything, there's no custody or other limitations going on.

Got the discounted chinese take away boxes for lunch and the boy got a small bag of chips from the Italian takeaway as a snack before lunch.

Please no brigading, I'm only linking for context.

Criticising the OP for being spiteful by saying "Served them right!" in the post when lack of customers resulted in menu changes, which still failed to save the restaurant is hardly "excusing carnism" or being a "fake vegan" in my opinion.

"fake vegan" isn't in the rules anywhere either? Odd really.

Failing to celebrate the closure of a (formerly) vegan restaurant due to lack of customers hardly sounds like 'carnist rhetoric' (rule 5) to me but what do I know.
