“Liberal drift” is a lie. The court should not have even heard a lot of last term’s cases, including King v. Burwel. Obergefell is the only truly liberal decision. Hardly a drift. Similarly, a lot of decisions this term will likely be “liberal” because they are cases that shouldn’t even be heard, Evenwel and Fisher…

I don’t know how I feel about this rule. My best friend recently broke up with her boyfriend, me and boyfriend were friends but he was a really shitty boyfriend and she deserved way better. And she knew I thought this. They were very off and on and when they were on I would still hang out with the two of them but my…
But, of course, musical theater (unlike professional sports) is an industry dominated by women and gay men.
I’m with you. I mean, this law is fucking stupid and idiotic and obviously just an attempt to limit abortions, but there are important ethical questions to consider here. I don’t think this Ohio case is addressing or approaching those questions, but bioethics is a real field of philosophical study and this is part of…
This story has my heart. I love your dad.
I wouldn’t doubt it. Although he does seem to be impervious in some ways to any thing slung at him... shit just doesn’t stick to him. He is fascinating. Even if he didn’t I don’t think there’s a snowball’s chance in hell he’ll take the nomination.
10 minutes after I posted this a person smarter than me said it with more data!
Trump will not be the nominee. He will fade, and fast, once everyone gets bored.
I feel like you're begging the question. I too have a thoughtful outlook, it just involves eating certain kinds of animals raised and slaughtered certain kinds of ways. My distinction is no more or less arbitrary than yours.
Whose worldview? Yours? How does that not place arbitrary value on some animals over others, which you suggest is unethical?
No, but the fact that animals kill each other and their own young all the time actually is a good argument for not valuing non-human animal lives that much. Animal deaths for food have been happening since life began. It’s hard for me to imagine our life and world being built on carnage and suffering, and I thereby…
Points 3b and 4 are about factory farming practices, so I’ll ignore them. The meat I eat neither causes suffering to the animal before they die, nor is bad for the environment (or at least, is not worse than growing plants).
Yes, but the animal products we consume are even more fucked up than the non-animal products, not only from an animal welfar perspective but also from a human labor perspective.
Why is eating meat inherently unethical? Lots of animals eat meat, how human animals different?
I made an argument for not equating a vegetarian diet with an ethical one. And I see your point, I have friends who are very thoughtful and are vegetarian for ethical reasons- I think they would stop eating avocados if they thought doing so facillitated violence against humans.
Ooof, that lip bite!
Ohhhhhhhhhhkay. So, I can totally get behind careful consideration of the ethics of the food and products we consume. I am all about this. But I am not a vegetarian, and I am not a vegetarian, in part, because of ethical concerns. 1) Our entire food system is fucked up. A lot of human labor is involved in the…
Plus a lot of these vocal patterns are shared by both men and women.
Yeah I really wonder what they would do if pressed. And if the one woman who said yes gave a reason why she might. I also wonder if Hannibal said “here is a turkey sandwhich, if you eat I’ll give you 10 million dollars, if you don’t, I’ll eat it” and if that would change their answer, because there’s no extra loss of…
