Because they are manufacturing consent for closing the platform, calling installing apps from other stores “sideloading” and hiding the options behind “SUPERDUPERDANGEROUS” warnings, making you wait 24h for literally just installing software on your own phone. They know 99% of people won’t even bother. It’s obvious what they want to do, this is a step back because of the outrage, have no doubts that they’re gonna keep pushing it

It’s not easy though
These practices are not particular to factory farms. Some farms do keep bulls but this is costly and impractical on the long run for genetic diversity reasons, so most non-factory farms also buy sperm and do the artificial insemination.
Also “local” as an adjective doesn’t mean much in terms of practices. All farms are local to somewhere. In a 50km radius of where I live there have been investigations in at least 10 farms that found severe animal abuse and neglect in the last 5 years. Those were all local farms that got to put a nice local stamp in their products.
Yes the dairy cycle is more complex I simplified it because I wanted to focus the impregnation part.
Milk production decreases greatly after the first 9-12 months. To make it profitable they do get impregnated repeatedly. The life of a dairy cow typically goes like this:
The cycle is then repeated. Since pregnancy and milk production is taxing on the body and milk production declines, most cows get slaughtered at 5 years old with an average of 2.5 pregancies (average lifespan is 20 years). This also makes sense because to maintain the herd you need to keep the number of females stable, which have a 50% chance of being born (male claves get slaughtered ofc).
Maybe some homesteads or subsistence farms keep milking them for years after one pregnancy, but otherwise even for free range grass fed whatever, if they sell milk to make a profit this is how it goes.
You can get all this info from industry sources.

The original claim was “there is an amount of pus and blood allowed in milk and it’s not zero”. To which you said it wasn’t true (“factoid”). So it was necessary to say that pus is made of somatic cells to explain that the claim is in fact true.
I’m not fear mongering, on the contrary my point is that people should look stuff up before dismissing something as PETA bullshit or whatever.
I’m not saying the somatic cells in commercial milk are harmful, that’s precisely why somatic cell counts need to exist.
Your response comment seemed to suggest that the claim that the FDA has a somatic and blood cell count is “PETA propaganda”, which it is not. I didn’t post “PETA ignorance”, just facts you can look up from objective sources.
Also milk = rape is totally factual (though a terrible way to try to reach the public)
So if you believe that non-human animals can be SA’d the dairy industry most likely covers that definition.
You can look this stuff up yourself in industry sources, it’s just industry practice including free-range cows.
This is not a “factoid” but a fact you can look up yourself from many non-animal rights sources (even if there are many reliable ones).
Look up “somatic cell count” on Wikipedia. Food safety regulations around the world define a number of somatic cells (which is what pus is made of). Same for blood cells.
Depends on the definition. In Lenin’s Imperialism, the highest form of capitalism, he defines five criteria:
And so, without forgetting the conditional and relative value of all definitions in general, which can never embrace all the concatenations of a phenomenon in its complete development, we must give a definition of imperialism that will include the following five of its basic features:
the concentration of production and capital has developed to such a high stage that it has created monopolies which play a decisive role in economic life;
the merging of bank capital with industrial capital, and the creation, on the basis of this “finance capital,” of a financial oligarchy;
the export of capital as distinguished from the export of commodities acquires exceptional importance;
the formation of international monopolist capitalist combines which share the world among themselves, and
the territorial division of the whole world among the biggest capitalist powers is completed.
1 and 2 apply with some caveats, 3 and 4 are a yes (WTO, UN, BRICS, etc), and 5 should be seen through a soft-power neo colonialist lens with China’s influence in Africa for example.
This is not meant to be anti-China or whatever, anything China has done pales in comparison with US imperialism, just that I don’t think it’s a completely baseless accusation.
Wrestlers oil one another prior to matches as a demonstration of balance and mutual respect.
If a man defeats an older opponent, he kisses the latter’s hand (a sign of respect for elders in Turkey).

Just get a refurbished/second hand one, many are as good as new
If I had to change phones now, I’d get a second-hand/refurbished Pixel and wait until the motorola devices take on. Fairphone is nice but lacks in security. The high price is only because of the “fair” small-scale production, the specs are quite mid for the price. I say this as a fp owner, I’m happy but if I had to choose again I’d go about it differently.
I don’t disagree but this still happens in non slop open source projects
It’s relevant since the US is an actual, current threat. Arguements don’t happen in a void, what about the fucking thing happening right now is a valid argument under a lazy irrelevant post like this one
