Gotta nuke something

Sure we ran out of corn, but then we realized we had all this seed corn for next season.

The naysayers and sky is falling group told us “you can’t just eat your seed corn” but you should have seen the shocked look on those smarty pants faces when we easily turned the seed corn into breads and cakes and porridges.

Poor fools seriously thought you couldn’t actually eat seed corn. Now we are having a lovely time with full bellies! They keep asking about what we will do when it comes time to plant, but that isn’t for months and we are hungry now.

The same country that teaches you for a dozen years how fucking badass the founding fathers were for standing up to injustice with a violent revolution, how America saved the world by killing every Nazi and nuking Japan twice to win WW2, will turn around and tell you violence isn’t the answer.

I mean it certainly seemed like a central theme to those endeavors. We didn’t peacefully protest independence from the British. There wasn’t a drum circle to stop hitler.

We are a nation born of violence, steeped in violence, and our government and corporations practice such mundane everyday violence against us we’ve become completely numb to it.

Cool well I appreciate your answers, all things I could Google but it’s nice to hear from someone directly their thoughts on it.

I’m not vegan myself, but starting to go low meat. Ive lived around farm animals some and have a great deal of respect for them and consider them to be sentient beings with feelings and consciousness.

Respect for vegans even if I haven’t gone that way yet. Have a lovely rest of your day! :)

Good points. I think people should live with cows and horses to appreciate how they are. Did you know that cows seem to have friends? In a herd cows will frequently pair off and spend the majority of their time with their chosen friend.

Beautiful animals, having a big cow come up and want to spend time with you is a special feeling.

Thanks for your answer. It seems kinda impossible to have animal derived food stuffs at any scale that would be voluntary for the animal. If you are open to more questions I’m curious about other animal products that one could consider less harmful.

The big one I’m curious about is honey. My mother in law got into beekeeping and the bees seemed more than happy to produce an endless supply of honey and didn’t seem any worse off for her taking the excess. Is honey vegan or is that also considered an animal products?

Vegan question. I’ve been to dairy farms now where the cows aren’t forced to be milked but have automated milking stalls they can choose to walk into.

Could that milk be considered vegan if the cows were making a feee choice to be milked?

The thing that is the absolute worst about gluten free food is how many times some company starts with gluten free and goes wild.

Oh look a gluten free key lime pie, but it’s also

• dairy free
• egg free
• fat free
• sugar free
• tree nut free
• vegan
• made out of sustainably harvested kelp

Like fuck off, my spouse has a gluten intolerance not whatever the fuck this list is for.

I sometimes think about make a gluten free food company that is called “just gluten free” and it uses all the rest of the food stuffs. It’s hard enough to make bread that has a reasonable texture without gluten, we don’t need to make this an impossible task by excluding 80% of the rest of the ingredients that make food taste good.

The Italian term fascismo is derived from fascio, meaning ‘bundle of sticks’, ultimately from the Latin word fasces.[4] This was the name given to political organizations in Italy known as fasci, groups similar to guilds or syndicates. According to Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini’s own account, the Fasces of Revolutionary Action were founded in Italy in 1915.[21] In 1919, Mussolini founded the Italian Fasces of Combat in Milan, which became the National Fascist Party two years later. The fascists came to associate the term with the ancient Roman fasces or fascio littorio,[22] a bundle of rods tied around an axe,[23]an ancient Roman symbol of the authority of the civic magistrate,[24] carried by his lictors.[25] The symbolism of the fasces suggested strength through unity: a single rod is easily broken, while the bundle is difficult to break.[26]

But I don’t think we should let the fascists take ownership over the idea of strength through unity.

Solidarity is strength through unity as well and is the bedrock of many leftist movements.
