Well lately I’ve been playing Hades 2 and it’s absolutely amazing. Just stay away from AAA unless the reviews are phenomenal. Focus on AA publishers like Devolver and Annapurna.

Flashback to JK Rowling deciding to repress his gender dysphoria after being abused by his ex-husband

This was a plot point in Superman and Lois, and Lois had a very good explanation for her choice: Your brother doesn’t have powers. I trusted you to look after yourself where he couldn’t.

I’m playing as Memory of a Dreamt Revelation

Hello, otherkin here! I’m not human and I don’t want to be human. I used to think I was human and My mental health was much worse back then. If forcibly transitioning all humans to another species were a requirement to end their domination of animals, I would support it. Fortunately, I know many vegan humans who are perfectly happy.

Actually, there are several stable populations of feral chickens descended from domestic chickens.

Cows can reproduce on their own, and here’s an article on feral chickens - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feral_chicken

So no, neither animal needs humans for the survival of the species.

Ad hominem fallacy is when the person is attacked as an invalidation of an argument.

You were defending the ethics of drinking cow’s milk, so talking about the ethics of drinking cow’s milk is perfectly on topic and not a fallacy. Otherwise, you’d be able to claim ad hominem on ANY counterargument!

I want gender affirming care for animals. Especially otherkin, who can suffer greatly from species and gender dysphoria. I always appropriately gender My pet shark, who has human-level intelligence and communication skills. I would agree to provide as much gender affirming care as possible to cisspecies cattle if they were capable of requesting it. But they cannot, so the best we can do for them is avoid eating and raping them.

I believe you, and so rather than refuse to hear out their argument (and thus prove them in some way right), I’ve decided to engage with them seriously using leftist analysis. If nothing else, it’s good exercise for My noodle.

Fortunately, cattle don’t understand English and thus aren’t harmed by verbal misgendering. The only misgendering they have to worry about are the sexual roles forced on them by farmers. Thus, I propose we abolish cattle farming and project no gender or sexual roles onto cows, allowing us to verbally misgender cows without harming them.

That criterion fails Karl Popper’s principle of scientific falsifiability. Pick some criteria for which you could design an experiment that clearly and persuasively differentiates its presence from its absence.

I don’t agree with the use of the word “sociopathic”. It’s Greek for “socially ill” and has historically been associated with pseudoscientific stereotypes applied with people with antisocial personality disorder. Mental disorders are not bourgeois, they are proletarian. They are associated with hardship and trauma, not privilege.

Australia’s national resource recovery rate in 2022–23 was 66%. This comprised 63% recycling, 0.2% waste reuse and 3% energy recovery, mostly associated with the use of landfill gas for generating electricity. In 2016–17, the resource recovery rate was 61%

For clarity, the resource recovery rate is the proportion of generated waste that is allocated to waste reuse, recycling or energy recovery.

In 2024, Australia’s material footprint per capita was around 31.1 tonnes, the lowest it has been since 2010 (37.6 tonnes).

Australia’s Circular Economy Framework, 2024 sets a target to shrink per capita material footprint by 10% by 2035.

I don’t think the post is about fast food chains. I’m saying fast food chains burn a whole lot of oil making your hamburgers. No more oil mining companies, no more cheap hamburgers.

There are a whole lot of people, millions of them, who want change, but who would riot at the steps necessary to achieve that change. It’s like the Trump voters who get deported by ICE. “This isn’t what I voted for”. There are millions of people who want net zero carbon emissions, but they still want to drive an SUV to McDonald’s for chicken nuggets.

I don’t drive an SUV. I don’t eat chicken nuggets. I’m ready for net zero. I hope you are too.

I call it Mammon and it lives inside the minds of every capitalist. Every worker who believes in markets, in states, in police, in corporations. We must kill the capitalist in the heads of every worker.

Y’all still pay those people money for hamburgers and chicken nuggets you don’t need. Eat a nice homemade vegan sandwich and spend the money on a video game. Video games cause a lot less pollution than meat and they’re way more fun.
