I’ve not got any confirmed links to hand, but I know there are loads of wildlife webcams out there, ranging from cats in shelters waiting to be adopted, to rescued animals in rehabilitation, to birds of prey in their natural habitat, and everything in between.
There are also webcams pointed at volcanos, and others broadcasting from random locations all over the world (weather cams, security cams, and so on), so you can get glimpses in to everyday life.
You don’t want to give a bunch of shareholders control over global food supply.
Show me where I even implied anything of the sort?
The technology could improve lives. But not in the hands of Monsanto.
At this point I’m just going to point you to my previous reply, because I can’t be bothered to repeat myself.
You’re just proving my point - Monsanto isn’t the problem, nor are they GMO, they are a single company, of many, that uses GMO technology.
The problem is capitalism, and by focusing on a tiny symptom of it and acting as if you’re saving the world, you’re not only completely missing the point, and playing right in to the hands of the capitalists who have profitable solutions to their manufactured problem to sell you, and a deep appreciation of the distraction you’re providing them, but you’re also contributing to the ignorance and fearmongering of a technology that could help solve world hunger.
But hey, I get it, it’s so much easier to shake your fist in the air (and at anyone who doesn’t buy in to anti-science nonsense) and shout about “monsatan”, than it is to address the actual issue.
Meanwhile the “green” crowd bought right in to the whole “no GMO” bullshit which, like “organic food” is nothing but a marketing ploy designed to separate them from more of their money, and have set a field that could literally keep the world fed through this crisis, back significantly, if on reputation alone. All while sitting on their high horse and feeling like they are the ones saving the environment.
Just one more reason why education is so important (and why we deliberately get such a poor standard of it).
Vegetarian/vegan hotdogs are great for this, since they can last fine without refrigeration for a decent amount of time. When I was a kid my parents would always pack them when we went camping, take a packet out of the freezer on the way out, pop in one of those soft cooler bags, by lunchtime they’re thawed and good to go, and if you have any left, they’ll still be good for dinner! No cooking should be needed (always double check the packet though), just some condiments, or even a tin of baked beans to make a meal of it.
This.
One of the best ways to confront a bigot is by pretending to be completely naive of their intentions, and getting them to dig their own hole by repeatedly asking them to explain what they mean.
Movin to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches…
In a factory downtown…
The funniest thing is that the NCD mod suggested in one of the replies in that dumpster fire of a post that it’s the Blahaj mods that are the ones who deserve to be posted there. The lack of self awareness genuinely is staggering…
Don’t forget:
Those politicians who are in a position to pass laws with regards to my taxes, income level, and other means of hoarding power? Oh, they’re owned by me thanks to legal bribery.
And those other politicians who want to introduce a maximum wage, higher taxes, or anything remotely socialist? Oh, the media outlet/s I own, along with the politicians I’ve already paid off can easily smear them out of contention.
Both possible because the system is what it does and is designed to encourage these kinds of disparity and inequality, not combat it.
I’ve not read the article yet, but just this makes me think of “left unity” and who it is who is always pushing for it, and at whose expense.
Prioritising (and demanding others also prioritise) alliances above morals is an act of authority preserving itself.
If you seriously can’t make your point without ridiculing people who have literally lost everything, in many cases even their lives, maybe don’t make the fucking point.
Lol, of course it’s about neoliberals, since they only care now that “the economy” (the bank accounts of the rich) is in danger, but couldn’t have cared less when it was only the poor and already marginalised in society that they were marginalising further with their decisions.
We all already know Russia is run by a war mongering dictator, him threatening and harming others shouldn’t come as a surprise, or news, to anyone.
Two (or more!) things can be true, and terrible, at once, and pointing out one (especially one that liberals are generally uncomfortable acknowledging) doesn’t somehow nullify the other, just like criticising democrats doesn’t mean someone supports conservatives, it just means criticising the one not already lightyears beyond criticism, like a literal fascist or dictator.
Neoliberals prioritising the interests of the rich (and only care if those are under threat) while ignoring their impact on the poor? Say it ain’t so!
It certainly isn’t for everyone, I couldn’t do it either.
And that’s the whole point - we each have things we are and aren’t good at, and if we organise according to our strengths and appreciate we all have different needs which all matter (E: and support each other in those needs), instead of according to one hierarchy or another which inevitably (deliberately) pits us against each other, we could do incredible things.
Not before you get to your destination (and sometimes there, too, if you’re really disorganised), nor in the case of the person I was replying to, who just wants some purse hotdogs to eat on the go. So while I agree about the texture, sometimes you just have to make due with a pale hotdog lol
