You’re getting trapped in the logical fallacy of believing that because you can’t stop all animal agriculture it’s not even worth trying to reduce. It’s exactly like people who say we may never completely eliminate our need for fossil fuels so therefore we should just give up on alternative energy, let the planet…

Was the treadmill to maintain your health or was it part of the study? BTW, what a unique life experience to have under your belt!

I have no interest in convincing you to go vegan, I’m just saying that if it doesn’t add any value and it’s not useful then why kill something? I see it as the same as wearing fur. You don’t have to be an activist to acknowledge that it’s just dumb and brutish and beneath our species to kill a bunch of minks to make…

If you’re past a certain age this cut gives you nightmares. Hardly anybody looks good in it, but there was an era (80’s and early 90’s) where high leg swimsuits and panties were the only option. Prepare to spend your time at the beach digging your swimsuit out of your ass/labia and your time outside of the beach…

She shouldn’t be held in solitary confinement though. Whatever one thinks of her, it’s concerning that the government may be using torture to pressure her into testifying (The UN recognizes prolonged solitary confinement as torture). From what I understand, she can be legally held in jail for contempt up until the…

Whatever she is or is not is irrelevant. She still has a right to fair and humane treatment. The UN classifies prolonged solitary confinement as torture for a reason. Nobody should have to endure torture at the hands of the US government, and especially not for something as trivial as refusing to testify unless the…

This administration would jump at the chance to reverse an Obama decision (and lock a trans person up) by charging her with additional crimes. Right wingers have been crying every morning into their breakfast cereal ever since her sentence was commuted. She’s not necessarily wrong to be suspicious and uncooperative.

My god, just leave her alone already.

It would better for the environment (and people’s health, and the cow) if the cow were not slaughtered at all. Any way we can reduce the demand for animal products will ultimately decrease our impact on the environment, preserve resources, ensure that natural spaces will still be around for our children to enjoy, and…

Anyone who stands up for what is objectively moral and correct will be ridiculed by the GOP. Worrying about it is how the terrorists win.

But why should any patches be made of leather? Why should an animal have to suffer and die for a label patch? Needless cruelty and death is morally problematic. Even if you’re not a vegan/vegetarian it’s problematic.

Levi’s is one of the most iconic brands in America. If they go vegan it makes a statement.

It’s no different than any other charity or endowment to own a diversified portfolio of assets. It’s bad financial planning for an organization (charity or business alike) to keep large chunks of uninvested liquid cash. This way they can (hopefully) grow their funding by acquiring an asset that will yield a return…

Wow! This is as an impressively innovative way to do activism. I’m impressed.

In high school I faked evangelicalism to get out of an anthropology test. The test was on early human evolution and I needed to know all the evolutionary stages (homo erectus, etc) and how they were characterized, but I had studied so little I couldn’t even begin to bullshit my way through the 2 page written essay…

I’m not. Goop caters to rich yippies who only buy into the aspects of holistic/progressive living that they can nihilistically consume in a futile effort to fill the deep empty holes in their souls. These aren’t your local worker’s co-operative types who are engaged with new and better ways of living. These are just…

Exactly. This is the opposite of the big tent mentality we should be fostering. When are the dinosaurs going to get it through their ancient skulls that control with an iron fist or calls for party loyalty for the sake of party loyalty only push voters away?

I have no problem with any form of theatrical prosthetics, including a “fat suit” (But my god we need to stop calling it a “fat suit”. That is offensive). Film is largely a visual medium. You tell part of the story, set the mood, and reveal the inner life of the characters through the way a character looks.

These fluorescent spandex bikinis with matching mesh overlays are exactly what a Dorito Burrito person would unironically design and wear.

What does it say about these women that they’ll let animal endangerment slide so long as they can use the situation to get back at someone who is too good at controlling the narrative of the reality TV show they’re all on?
