Look, the people who work for Tofurky are just as human and deserving of jobs. And they aren’t implicated in Global Warming like cattle ranchers -- not just the ones setting fire to the Amazon.

You are correct. He wasn’t saying he’ll buy fake meat to avoid a kid-tantrum, he was saying that an impending kid-tantrum will prevent him from understanding what he, as a presumably literate adult, is purchasing. Which... yeah. 

I remember those times when piracy almost disappeared thanks to streaming services but now we have so many of those that is going to be more expensive than cable so who knows maybe piracy will rise again.

“...unless the product came from an animal that was born, raised and slaughtered in a traditional way.”
So, I assume no machinery can be used in the raising and slaughtering of these animals?

I’m a rancher and a free market capitalist who believes in competition until I start to lose market share at which point I demand regulations put in place because the only thing I care about more about than free market competitive capitalism is rigging the game to make sure I win.

If a person doesn’t read the packaging of what they are buying, that is on them.

I’d say he’s probably turning his son gay by doing the grocery shopping at all. Isn’t that his wife’s job? /s

That story about going through a grocery store and accidentally grabbing a Beyond Beef package, he doesn’t say what the bad consequence of that is. Given his position, I’m assuming he thinks accidentally not feeding his son real beef will turn him gay?

So small government conservatives and anti-regulation types are very angry about this?

Also, what has he done to his children that the only way to end a tantrum is by providing a beef product? 

Dear Mike Deering (cattle rancher and the executive vice president of the Missouri Cattlemen’s Association), absolutely NO ONE believes you are doing the grocery shopping, much less in the company of your cranky toddlers, so fuck the fuck off with your idiotic story about how easy you are to trick into buying…

I grew up in an area where ranching is a big, big deal - and the cattle industry is in great decline there, with a lot of people really hurting (coincidentally, their rationale for voting Trump was that he’d save the cattle industry - he was clear that he had no interest in that and also, they were racist as fuck and…

“I’m a dad and I’m going through the grocery store before one of my boys has a meltdown, and [if] I pick up that package that says beef with a picture of a cow on it, I’m going to buy it.”

It’s not just Jezebel. It’s people who can read between the lines and are tired of the drama of it all. I used to be a huge fan, but she makes it real hard to just focus on the music and ignore her personality. When is she not feuding with someone? When is she not talking about her haters, her enemies, her difficult…

Jezebel cycles through women we’re supposed to dislike, like Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Lawrence. These women are flawed human beings, so we we need to be derisive of them in any post mentioned about them.

Doesn’t change the fact that it’s not a good title. Slate has an article about how it invokes those classic skits with Rachel Dratch and Will Ferrell and that’s where my mind went too when I heard the title  https://slate.com/culture/2019/08/taylor-swift-lover-saturday-night-live-rachel-dratch-will-ferrell.html

It worked. You're writing about it.

My usual response, "No!" followed by sticking out my tongue.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has any tips for finding the right therapist. I think I've been dealing with depression for a long time and I need help. 

Hi Jezzies, hope everyone is doing well. It’s warm here for bank holiday weekend in the England a late mini heatwave.
