I think the problem isn’t that we eat meat. It’s that we torture the animals and have them live in deplorable conditions before we eat them. If we all hunted or raised our own animals or had the animals live in decent conditions it would be less of an issue for most REASONABLE vegans and vegetarians. I used to be vegan and vegetarian a decade so I get it a bit. I hated it when anyone would bitch about other people’s food choices, but then complain when they did the same to them for their food choices. Both sides I mean. I had some non-veggies once they found out I didn’t eat meat would attack me for it. When I did start eating meat again some vegans and vegetarians would attack me for it.

Don’t leaf blowers also have a sound decibel level that can cause hearing loss? Another good reason not to use it for that purpose

What tribe are you?

Even if it does rust accidentally, can’t you just scrape or buff out the rust and then reseal/reseason it again and it’s fine?

Got it 🫡

I had the same thought. Us North Americans are not used to sacrificing ourselves for the betterment of the future generations.

I might be confused by your comment and not understanding it properly so excuse me if I’m just not understanding right.

Are you saying that all the school shooters in America did not actively plan to kill all of those children and/or teenagers?
School shooters took a gun to a school and started open firing on children who were no threat and never even had a chance to grow up and hurt anyone.

This guy planned it out, killing one adult who was responsible for the deaths of a lot of fellow Americans while he got richer and richer from their suffering and deaths.

My mother was a wonderful person, poor, and a boomer. She never had anything handed to her. We need to stop shitting on specific generations (it’s a distraction ) and target our hate towards the class divides between us instead.

I dunno, I lock my doors cuz I’m afraid of someone coming into my house and harming me or my family, or stealing my stuff. That’s why I lock it.

I thought I was the only one who liked yogurt on pancakes!

You are very right. Looking back my comment was a bit ignorant. I remember learning now it can take a few exposures before someone has an allergic reaction to something, whether it’s an antibiotic or a cat or a fruit etc. It would be horrible to become attached to a pet and then have to give them back or rehome them because of allergies.

I’m glad to hear it all worked out Lenny! (Duck butt tattoo as in a duck’s butt?) You should turn the shark teeth into jewellery of some sort haha

Thank you for answering, this is very eye opening. In Canada we get a similar amount of food at our volunteer based food banks that is supposed to last a month but lasts a few days, but it’s different in the type of product. And it would never be given to us in a state that was degraded or torn into by pests.

Oh :(

That’s true, the rich truly are the issue largely. My good landlord(s) aren’t though and they were never what I would consider rich. Just doing slightly better than me at the time. And I got to benefit from their slightly above me income bracket. I think it’s easier in smaller towns and cities than the big places like Vancouver Toronto and such though. The housing costs and rental costs are insane there. Go to places like Thunder Bay and it’s a lot more affordable.

No worries, I think a lot of us have these periods in our lives where we neglect stuff like this at times. Just the 19 year old living at home and hoarding dirty dishes seems to hit different when they need to be asked to bring them out and they’re still living with their parents.

You are giving away your money every time you buy something, or when you hand it to a bum on the street, or give it to a registered charity. That’s personal use of your money.

You could say this argument about people buying alcohol or cigarettes or lottery tickets or McDonald’s cheeseburgers. That money could go to better things but that’s not really the point. I mean, it’s their own money, they can do whatever they want with it. If it makes them happy to give it to some dude at a prison why is it any of your concern? You can feel free to give your own money to the children’s hospital.

I guess that’s likely the difference. With the big company owned apartments you usually deal with a super intendant or building manager instead of the landlord directly. So the renter is seen as a faceless number rather than an actual person to the owners you are paying money to. There’s a lack of empathy towards the renter.
