Different people can have their own opinions of course, but microbes are not animals, and I am happy eating fungi, monera, and protists.

Meat used to refer to food, not specifically animal protein. Language changes. For some people, beef describes an experience, or describes what they can expect, rather than tells them the molecular composition of the food. As long as the label is not misleading, who cares?

As someone who has worked in a prosecutor’s office and in criminal defense, there are plenty of issues with the system, largest among them that prison is actively harmful to society in most cases. But, OC is not wrong. Defense attorneys know it as well as prosecutors; the vast majority of people tried for crimes are…

I’ll believe it when I see the two of them in the same room together

This is a popular treatment for tapeworms in Ecuador, and probably elsewhere in South America. I always thought the seeds were poisoinous, I’m surprised to find out that that’s not the case. It always seemed to work when I was young, but just goes to show how many things we do out of tradition that might not…

It’s dipped in the fake/vegan jus, not the beef one

Selflane.com is a small startup in my area that charges restaurants a flat fee to get them set up with online ordering (although they may require you to also use their software for POS, not sure). I got to meet one of the founders when they were out courting business and they seemed genuinely interested in offering a…

I don’t think either side has won this argument yet, as a lot of people say that soy based chicken nuggets that use egg as a binder are plant-based, while other people use it to mean vegan without the stigma. Who’s to say?

Confidential communications the two of had during the marriage will likely remain privileged under the martial communications privilege. That only covers communications, however, not things that they saw the other one do, or things they heard the other one say to other people.

What a pleasant sounding person

Motherfucker is an insult in many different languages. In Urdu, sisterfucker is also a common phrase, again suggesting an incest taboo association. Just because people often use it to mean “you are bad and do me wrong,” doesn’t mean that it wouldn’t be a comment on their vices. “Cocksucker” is a homophobic slur, but…

As comes up in every one of these types of articles, many vegetarians, unlike your wife, enjoy the taste of meat and would like to have something like it sometimes, but don’t eat actual meat for whatever reason (ethical, religious, medical).

My understanding is that, like you said, the original energy cost of freezing the water is pretty much always going to make any energy savings negligible at best. No one seems to have good studies on this, but this stack exchange makes a persuasive argument against freezing water for this purpose.

As others have pointed out, this is mostly for meat eaters who want to cut back a little. But also, why not? If vegans don’t want to eat animals, but like the taste of meat burgers, why would it possibly matter to you what they eat?

In case anyone doesn’t know, Pueblo chiles are a regional variety of Anaheim or New Mexico chiles, just like Hatch chiles (state loyalty requires me to state that Hatch chiles are incomparably better than Pueblo chiles). I’ve found them fresh in a surprising number of standard grocery stores outside of the Southwest,…

I usually don’t throw dishes out either, but this seems like an unnecessarily aggressive response. It’s not lazy to recook an entire meal, and much though we should all try to reduce food waste, an occasional thrown out home meal is an insignificant blip in the problem.

By a longtime democrat who has consistently been accusing Biden of inappropriate touching for years, has people who confirm she told them about the assault when it happened, and sounds absolutely credible if you listen to her interview.

Forcible penetration (even digital) is rape

Thank goodness this isn’t a zero tolerance law then

I’d be interested in an article like that. Tor is relatively straight forward in my opinion (a bit of setup to buy bitcoins and whatnot, but then it’s all set up), and nice since you don’t have to deal with anyone. Otherwise though, I’d recommend just wandering around parks or downtown areas and asking people who are…
