  • Doesn't NK have one of the biggest standing armies in the world? I figured they could toss some troops into the blender and not care.

    Also doesn't NK have a nuke? They'd definitely detonate one if they were invaded.

  • There's 6 Republicans on SCOTUS. 2 of them are hard-line "originalists" that usually rule as far right as possible against human rights. 1 is the fucking Boofer who hasn't been as awful as expected (he's young so saving up his shittery I guess?). And one is so fucking incompetent she bragged she took no notes during her questioning.

    I'm surprised every decision isn't a 6-3 vote against humanity.

  • Then it'd just be NK sending a bunch of soldiers who get to emigrate to Ukraine.

  • Right. For sheep/goats I was mostly talking about history.

    Chickens are definitely the preferred animal in a lot of the world both in subsistence and when countries raise meat.

  • Yeah, I saw that as well. It's very neat and I hope that 50% reduction is seen in all cattle breeds with just a small supplement of seaweed. If it's effective without strong side effects, I imagine we'll synthesize whatever chemical is inhibiting the methane production and it'll become a standard feed supplement.

    “This could help farmers sustainably produce the beef and dairy products we need to feed the world,” Roque added.

    Absolutely not the case for beef cattle. They are far too expensive to raise and feed to be a hunger concern. They take so much land and food compared to how many calories you get from the beef. Pretty much every other animal is easier to raise and feed. There's a reason pretty much no culture or religion bans consumption of goats or sheep; they are critical. Beef is a luxury food.

  • The man embarrassed the US by leaking their DMs.

    When you do that to a nation about their classified intel, it's called espionage. It's a biiiit more serious than a social media hack.

    In practical terms, espionage can affect thousands of lives directly and change the course of a war. Imagined the shitshow if someone released that kind of info now. It could jeopardize the Ukraine conflict. It's treated as more serious than murder because it can be.

  • That's a great idea. Analyze the feces or garbage and then publish public reports about the deficiencies of NK life. That'd embarrass Kim enough they'd probably stop.

  • Chicken is already significantly cheaper. People still buy tons of beef.

  • These are poor countries that can't afford to because the company that owns the tests and treatments keep them too high.

  • And they keep treatments and tests much too expensive for the poorer countries to afford. Allowing millions to die because they want to keep a higher ROI.

  • We can treat and cure TB. But capitalists don't want to spend the money when it's not profitable.

  • Yeah. Because there's no good answer. Anything you do will be massively unpopular. Trying to get people to stop eating beef or dairy is going to be very difficult.

    Once lab grown meat is affordable maybe it'll help.

  • I think I see a blood splatter in there too

  • At that point I unplug my headphones and let the speakers do it so I can wander the room and not be literally tied down.

  • Corrected my first post. I don't just but deep sales. I only buy games at full price of marginal sales if I want to play them immediately.

  • I love all these kind of stories. Pascal's Wager, Sin's Plate, this sneaky ravioli.

    They all contend that you can trick god. The same god who is both omniscient and omnipotent.

    I don't know if any of those are serious or just jests that became tradition but they are amusing.

  • Choosing to take money and work for Putin is quite a bit different than having a salary from a corporation. Equating the two is apologizing for dictators.

  • Beat someone to death with it while storming your country's top government building trying to overthrow said government.

    Just add some treason/insurrection on top.
