I’m totally judging you.
I’m totally judging you.
I too am pretty redneck and vote Democrat. Maybe you guys just don’t realize we’re out here if you look.
Ehh I can get behind the wine charms a bit more. I got some as a gift once and they proved very helpful the last time I had all the girls over. When everyone’s drinking the same thing and crammed into a living room with only one coffee table, it's a handy way of telling your glass apart. Would never pay $6.95 each…
That’s genuinely awesome. You know, there’s a lot of white blue-collar Dems who vote too, looking for their fair shake.
I refuse to believe that anyone actually buys this shit. I can’t accept a reality in which people affix pewter charms to their towels.
Lord, this is some nouveau riche bullshit. Regular people don’t need this and won’t buy something that’s just going to jam up the washing machine when you forget it’s on the towel.
Their Yelp page has a number of posts from people describing their attempt to extort positive reviews as well as price gouging and other shenanigans.
As someone who is disabled, I am not particularly offended by or upset with this. And trust me, I am aware that I’m in the minority in the disabled community*. But the reality is that being disabled means that there are obvious challenges to holding down most jobs, let alone the demands of an acting career. It just…
I feel a sudden need to introduce you to the Ryanair experience.
I hate to break it to you guys but your airports are the absolute worst too!
Unfortunately that is true for a lot of people. They have trouble seeing past their own lives until someone they trust tells them HEY RACISM IS FUCKING REAL CUZ IT HAPPENED TO ME. Or they start comparing rape victims to their mother or daughter or sister.
Yep. There are also convincing arguments to be made about how meat plays into eating food that’s in season. (You may not be able to have sustainably-grown fruits and veggies in the dead of winter in northern climates, but meat ...)
As the article states going vegetarian and even vegan does not always help.
Ugh. I’m a carnivore but I’ve put myself on a 2 year plan to go vegan, starting with eating vegetarian 2 days per week. Thanks for kicking my schedule up a notch today, the slaughter and mayhem needs to stop.
A LOT of farmers get paid to produce nothing. Any kind of short term hurt to the farmers would be offset by producing something that consumers actually buy; maybe rework the subsidies for the first few transitional years so that they go towards getting equipment for their new product.
I mean, corn farmers are just going to have to deal. Grow something else. Start a small farm and grow several crops instead of one. Grow hemp (doing it here in KY now). Find a crop that isn’t widely used and corner the market.
Ending corn subsidies is probably the best first step I can think of. It would raise the price of beef, pork and poultry to make them less desirable and lessen the disastrous toxic waste problems that result.
To make foods more accessible to all? Drop ag subsidies globally. Overthrow regimes who use food as a weapon or who advocate economic systems that don't work to produce or import enough food. Stop trade agreements that block the flow of food to where it is needed. Eliminate unscientific anti-GMO prejudice.
Personally, I don’t feel any need to go vegetarian, but I do try to seriously limit my meat consumption, and eat ethically-raised meat when I do. It’s a hell of a lot more expensive, which helps encourage me to eat less of it. :-)
Just wait someone will pop up to tell you why that’s also terrible since everything is terrible. I have a fairly large garden too , at least we are trying!
