I’ve seen the term tankie thrown around a lot recently. Can you please define it? I’m not quite sure I understand.

Yep, and cooking is easier and safer (I don’t need to worry about cross contamination)

Being vegan is way cheaper and that’s not even accounting for the massive subsidies the meat and dairy industries get, from our taxes.

I was vegetarian when I worked there, very grateful as I probably would be dead of solid arteries after 3 weeks. I like that Ikea has vegan dogs, wish Costco had something similar.

Which post?

“I’m going to head to the bathroom.”

“Be careful! There might be bears.”

Less deadly and more contagious!

Have I got a movie for you to watch! https://m.imdb.com/title/tt2557478/

Unfortunately, I am allergic to morphine, wake me up when they can turn sugar into Dilaudid.

Or better yet, morphine into fully baked sugar cookies.

They’ll have to pay for the ammo themselves, of course.

Another millennial adding on:

5. Bringing a sentient life into a world of suffering and climate change that will only worsen seems malicious to that life, at this point.
6. My partner really doesn’t want to go through the body changes that come with pregnancy.

Additional emphasis on #3, even if it didn’t compromise safety, a healthy pregnancy is expensive! Healthcare from any complications is financially devastating.

Small aside that adoption is not off the table for us, but we’re not financially comfortable to get a dog yet, which we’ve been saving for for a few years. One of us would need to get a huge raise to be able to afford the costs of adoption and raising of a human child.

I volunteer!

Than it was.

Not just nostalgia tinted glasses, it really was better in the earlier years.

I think that’s a question that every Jewish person would have a different answer to. For me, I’m an Atheist Jew; but religion is more than blind faith, it contains culture, values, and yes peoplehood. I like being part of a small and tight community, sharing ethical discussions and rituals with those in it.

Like most similar questions, yours comes down to semantics. How do you define religion? A people? My concern with questions like that is it can be interpreted by some maliciously. E.g. They’re not a religion like us, they’re a race and we must exterminate them.

Yes, but also that hating a government (or even just decisions of a government) doesn’t extend to hating people across the globe who identify with the same religion that government is using to oppress people.

(American Jew who hates what Israel is doing)

, the most difficult to search ebike brand.

Also humans are fishing a lot of their food…

Make it 10x that and we’ll be the land of 10,000 preregistered voters!

Thanks for that! I also got an ebike this year, sub $1,000. Gets me to work and back, local grocery stores, and is fun! I’m voting to increase my city’s biking infrastructure.

Instead of what?

I sent the article through Google Bard to summarize:

Antarctica just hit a record low in sea ice, with the annual maximum coverage being 398,000 square miles lower than the previous record low set in 1986. Scientists are concerned that this may be the beginning of a long-term trend of decline for Antarctic sea ice, since oceans are warming globally. Sea ice around the polar regions plays a critical part in protecting the adjacent ice sheets. Less sea ice means less sunlight will be reflected back to space, causing waters to warm more and destabilize surrounding ice and glaciers. Coastlines are also much more exposed with less sea ice, removing a buffer that could help protect melting ice shelves or ice sheets. Scientists have long seen these downward sea ice declines and effects in the Arctic, and now they think Antarctica is hitting a turning point much like the Arctic has. In just seven years, Antarctica has experienced three new record-breaking low sea ice summers. Antarctica has been showing responses to climate change in other ways as well. Antarctica and the Arctic are warming faster than the global average. Warmer ocean temperatures around the continent have caused major ice melt around the ice sheet, including destabilizing the Thwaites Glacier, which is about the size of Florida and contributes to 4 percent of annual global sea level rise. Moon said changes in how the ocean moves as well as the atmosphere have also become more apparent. Experts say that this is not great news, as polar ice is one of the world’s biggest insurance policies against runaway climate change.
