we evolved to be capable of thriving on a wide variety of diets
”An omnivore is an animal that has the ability to eat and survive on both plant and animal matter.” - Wikipedia
future generations will look back on eating meat as a barbaric mistake
Primates, including humans, evolved to be omnivorous. In the 200,000 year history of the homo sapiens species, only the most recent 3% have had the benefit of agriculture. Even then, only 0.1% have had the benefit of the industrial revolution which could in theory provide enough calories and nutrients for all humans with a purely herbivorous diet.
I don’t understand how this is getting approved.
Because you get promoted for changing things, not for keeping things the same. Almost every change like this is motivated by someone trying to get promoted.

lawbreaking while driving is widespread on American streets to a level so extreme…
Is this not the case everywhere? If anything, speeding, distracted driving, and running stop signs / ignoring traffic signals is much more common in other parts of the world.
“Right to work” refers to the fact that in those states, unions cannot force membership or payment, or force you to participate in labor strikes. You can still have a union in those states, but it’s very difficult for them to be effective because most people will choose not to pay into it, and strikes have significantly less bargaining power if there’s no legal obligation for union members to follow through with a strike.
The result is that in such states, there are very few unions, and so very few protections against firing workers for arbitrary reasons.

DoD spending was $1.8 trillion in 2023, of which $700B was “discretionary” spending. Medicare and medicaid spending was $1.6 trillion, of which $0 was discretionary.
Closing scene of The Kingdom, relevant as ever.

Based on the image text this is for new accounts only. My account has neither phone nor credit card and I’ve not been asked to re-verify. Maybe they’re having problems with bots at the moment.
Unpopular opinion - I completely agree. In terms of cost per entertainment-hour, video games are by far the best value compared to similar media.
Deplorable (adjective): Dishonorable or deserving of strong condemnation.
Vermin (noun): Noxious or disgusting wild animals that are difficult to control.
Pascal’s little-known friend Luigi’s wager.
If you pay with your CC and sign the receipt after seeing the total, you’re going to have a very hard time getting it removed.
Sorry, but that’s not how the law works - it doesn’t matter how morally justified a crime might be.
This is brilliant. Definitely going to try this tomorrow.
”On a scale of 1 to 10, how often do you think about killing yourself?”
“Uhhh… 3?”
”That’ll be $40”
Not only that - they’re dying in the street immediately adjacent to vacant luxury condos.
Not really a problem with UDP itself, but with some very old protocols like DNS that rely on UDP but can’t be changed because of compatibility. If you’re writing a new service that uses UDP, there’s nothing stopping you from designing it so that it doesn’t provide an opportunity for bandwidth amplification.
