·4 months agoI have to travel by air soon, and I'm so, so scared. Likely it'll be fine, the total probability of a catastrophe happening on any given flight is still super low, but jeez, it sucks that I'm afraid of a thing we had pretty much totally sorted like 20 years ago. Capitalism can eat my whole ass
·4 months agoFor everyone who is vegan who sees this (all 3 or so of you), it's fine! I have not accidentally eaten eggs, there are no eggs in the version that I can buy here, I'm attaching a photo of the ingredients for you to check for yourselves.

Editing to add: "Artificial flavor" is super sus, but I've long since decided not to care about that. If that makes me a bad vegan, so be it.
Well, hopefully I live somewhere where the noodles do not have eggs! I'll definitely read the ingredients again next time. It would be super sad if I couldn't eat them anymore, because they are delicious, in a painful kind of way
·4 months agoImpossible foods? The brand that tested on animals when it wasn't required to do so?
Nah.
Wait, really? I definitely buy them sometimes (not the pictured ones, the purple one, habanero ... something flavor?) and I know I checked ingredients. Did I really miss eggs? That seems unlikely, but I'll have to check carefully next time I see them.
·4 months agoYour teacher gave you a failing grade just because of commas? That's a little over-the-top, in my opinion.
And thanks! It's been a miserable slog, I'm going to be so glad to be done with it! Congrats on finishing yours too, even though it was awhile ago!
Haha, yeah, exactly. Exactly that
Why do I use so many commas when writing? I'm editing my dissertation (it's really, truly, finally almost done this time, hooray!) and consistently the editing I need to do is removing like half the commas in every sentence. It's actually hilarious, at this point, just, how many, extra commas, there are, everywhere.
·4 months agoAbsolutely. Look at the forward-most kid whose arm just straight up becomes the lady's hair.
·4 months agoI may be missing a joke here, but in case you're not making a joke, WHO is correct. The World Health Organization. This announcement is coming from them.
·4 months agoWas there some meaning this article was trying to convey? I read the whole thing and my response is just
I got literally, absolutely nothing from reading all those words, and I'm pretty sure that's not my fault.
Also, and this is a small thing, I know articles are published with typos all the time, but the following sentence makes no sense, right? Like, the grammar is wrong to the point where the sentence is meaningless, isn't it? I'm not just misreading things entirely?
Krugman reiterated his view that it’s better to cut rates soon with the chance of re-accelerating inflation looks very small if the Fed cuts rates.
You can block them [hexbears], but there are tons of them that have lemmy.world accounts- and post regularly in the political communities.
You’ll know them when you see them.

The problem with blocking the food comm is that there's a ton of delicious food posted there that is vegan, so I'd be missing out on seeing all of that. I do block lots of comms, but I'd like to avoid blocking the food comm. Luckily mods do remove stuff pretty quickly once it gets reported, so that's really the best I can hope for. It's fine.
I sometimes wish we had a vegan megathread, because I want to make a comment that's not big enough for it's own post, but it doesn't really fit here either, because it's kind of meta, a little struggle-session adjacent.
So what I'm going to do is spoiler it and if you're a carnist, don't fucking read it. And if you can't help yourself and read it anyway, don't fucking respond to it. I will block any carnists who respond to this comment, I'm actually not trying to start a fight, I just need to vent where another vegan can see it.
Seriously, carnists, fuck off
I just ran across a post in c/food that had meat. It's an 11 hour old post with no CW and it's still up. I don't blame the mods, really. Modding is hard work and of course stuff will fall through the cracks, especially when rule-breaking posts don't get reported (and I assume this post hadn't been before I reported it just now). I want hexbear to be vegan so badly. I understand why we allow carnists on here, I do get it, but I wish we could call them out more and have them shut the fuck up about stuff. But it's hard to argue the vegan position, because we're outnumbered here, and carnists are fucking fragile and tend to be argumentative asshats when called out on their meat eating. I admit to backing off fights I should have taken on because I just don't want to deal with the pushback.
And that suuuucks! This little corner of the internet is so good in so many ways. I can be unapologetically trans, no one will call me a tankie for saying China good, and bigots of most stripes get absolutely dogpiled here. I love it. But I wish asshole carnists got dogpiled in the same way. And they don't.
Anyway, that's it. Carnists just don't understand that pictures of dismembered dead animals are unpleasant to see. I truly wish we could ban all nonvegan posting from c/food. Maybe make a c/carnism or something for people who absolutely cannot stop posting pictures of their murder treats, because I don't want to see that shit!
Please don't eat animals.

And what do you do with the baby cows? Where do the baby cows go?

From the sidebar. I'd suggest reading about veganism rather than coming in here and pretending you know anything about animal ag.
No investigation, no right to speak
rah got banned. We'll unfortunately never hear their (no doubt incredible) thoughts on fascism and communism
