It is a flawed arguments as livestock animals diets are made predominantly of monoculture farm products and by-products. While current produce practices are often not the best, as you mentioned there are ways to produce vegetables in a more sustainable manner, even on a large scale, but it is hard, if not impossible…

Most crops raised today are fed to farm animals though. It should be relatively straight-forward to re-dedicate this land to more diversified crops for humans if we’re already living in a fantasy where someone waves a magic vegan wand across the world?

What animals? Why would farmers continue to breed animals that no one will buy?

If we stopped eating them, the animals would die out; therefore, no methane. You won’t see cows running in the wild. Without the need to breed chickens and cows and pigs, those species go bye bye

Vegan food doesn’t have to be organic/can include pesticides

Wait... we’re really wondering why someone who was sentenced to 5 years for stealing $120 would be afraid of standing trial for armed robbery?

Does not matter. The court wouldn’t accept the plea and then got a result it didn’t like from a jury. That should be the end of it. He should walk out of the court a free man. Instead, the judge threw a legal hissy fit and revoked his probation because the judge thought he deserved to be in jail for something.

To avoid a trial in which he could be found guilty of armed robbery.

There’s also the matter of shooting a deer with a wholly inappropriate weapon just to shoot a deer. Not that many people I know, hunters or non-hunters, would find that “funny”.

I don’t think most people are horrified at the idea of hunting a deer so much as the idea that drowning a wounded deer in a creek is “hilarious” to Mark Brunnel (and presumably to Farve - I assume he told it as a ‘funny’ story). I eat animals and it would be more than a little hypocritical of me to have a problem with…

It’s not really about the deer so much as the attitude of “ha ha ha Brett tortured an animal to death for fun and it was *hilarious*”

Yeah, I think the biggest story here is that we have someone who actually knows technology in a position that should require that.

Republicans have already been doing this because there is no way the could’ve won the last midterm elections without cheating.

I’m a deep-blue Demand don’t trust the GOP either, but they won the mid terms because off year election voters are mostly white and old. This will stop when:

so like this?

Oh, okay.

it shouldnt matter if its easy. its possible, which means that one person can rig an entire election

They mention that there are thousands of keys floating around, machines don’t have a unique key, and you can pick the lock really easily if needed. But yes you need access to the machine for a few minutes and the know how to pre load a memory card with malicious software. Still it shouldn’t be possible to do this so…

Sometimes I think the WhiteHouse does this type of thing JUST to troll the GOP nutbags.

Should I be slightly depressed that I really can't see how this applies? I think I'm good at the things I'm successful at, and assume I'm awful at basically everything else.
