Jesus fucking christ

If you became a vegetarian for ethical reasons, then buying organic milk doesn’t solve any of the moral qualms connected to the dairy industry. The cow still gets (forcefully) impregnated, her calf still gets taken from her shortly after birth and both of them get killed once they are no longer economically viable.

Looks like a shot from Euphoria, so probably Sydney Sweeny.

Looks like it.

Starting with Android smartphones running on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform, Qualcomm Technologies now offers device manufacturers the ability to provide support for up to eight consecutive years of Android software and security updates. Smartphones launching on new Snapdragon 8 and 7-series mobile platforms will also be eligible to receive this extended support.

I’m very well aware of the impact my existence has on the planet, but I can still try and minimize that impact as much as possible, even without taking it to the extreme and ending society. It’s not all or nothing.

If you want to minimize the amount of bugs killed, not eating meat is a great way to achieve that. Instead of harvesting tons of crops to then feed to animals, you could just eat those crops yourself. You’d even end up needing less space to grow your food overall, meaning you could re-naturalize a lot of farmland and create a habitat for billions of insects.

Respect yourself other people choices

How about you respect other animals right to bodily integrity.

Most slaughter houses use bolt guns.

It’s hard to find official statistics, but most definitely not.

It is clear, however, that in the United States today, “CO2 stunning of pigs is the major method that is used in large slaughter plants.” According to unpublished data from the Pig Improvement Company, the use of CO2 gas to stun pigs has increased dramatically in recent decades. In 1999, CO2 was used to stun 2 percent of all pigs and 2.2 percent of pigs in establishments that slaughtered more than 4,500 pigs per day. By 2020, those numbers had risen to 86.2 percent and 96.2 percent, respectively. Today, according to FSIS enforcement records, at least 32 slaughter plants use CO2 gas slaughter systems.

Zero pain, or as minimal amount of pain as possible. Like, microseconds.

If you assume, that the operator doesn’t make any mistakes and is always 100% on point. Which they are not, as has been documented by countless of hidden cameras people have put up in slaughterhouses.

And even then, you are ignoring the immense pain and stress the animals experience the rest of their life before getting killed.

There’s a difference between actively choosing to kill an animal, and having an animal die as a consequence of another action.

Driving a car means that you’ll inevitably hit an animal at some point, but the alternative (walking) is often impractical and you’ll still try your best and stop or swerve when a cat runs into the road.

Eating meat, on the other hand, is an active choice that always involves someone killing an animal. The alternative is always there and is as easy as can be: eat something else.

But you have to respect other people lines as well.

Your personal freedom stops where someone else’s freedom begins. The question is whether you consider animals to be someone or something.

Rows have numbers, columns have symbols. The person is supposed to sit in the seat in row 79, column ‘bumblebee’ or whatever.

I’d assume the arrows move the person to a different seat. The screenshot shows the solved captcha.

Preorders open on 8th April.

The US site lists May 8. Preorders also seem to be invite-only in the beginning?

From the US site:

Invitation emails will be prioritized on a first-come, first-served basis to registrants who have purchased a Nintendo Switch Online membership with a minimum of 12 months of paid membership and a minimum of 50 total gameplay hours, as of April 2, 2025. Once invitation emails have been sent to all registrants meeting the priority criteria, invitations will be sent to remaining eligible registrants on a first-come, first-served basis.

The German site lists April 8, but requires you two have a Nintendo online subscription for the last two years.

So what would the cats choose in the wild?

Canned (and cooked) tuna, mussels, shrimps, reindeer, rabbit, beef etc of course. /s

Given that pretty much everyone just buys canned pet food or kibble at the store, and most of those are made out of whatever is left over after slaughtering animals for human consumption, the whole point of “forcing your cat to eat against its natural habits” is somewhat moot.
