It’s almost twice as many characters, but only one more syllable. It feels so long counting it out :)

of course, english has a lot going on that’s unreasonable as well so …

In 1991, I worked at a Christmas tree farm. They had an ancient tube stereo with an 8 track and one single Christmas tape. Volume at 11.

In 1994, I got a job at a newly built Staples. They had no internet and they chouldn’t get their satellite connection to work, so they sent us a commercial song box that contained an 8 track of pop songs from the 70’s. To this day, I can’t listen to Sweet Home Alabama.

covid in 2019. man, that was one hell of a decade.

Screens aren’t bad. It’s what’s on the screens that’s bad.

Put Bob Ross on the big screen without Commericals, Mr rodgers on your kid’s tablet.

Spending disposable money on hobbies is fine

Nope, if you can’t do it adequately with a cell phone camera, it’s gonna eat you alive.

What do what the odds are?

Not allowed to vote in 2028.

Voting is fixed enough that it won’t matter in 2028.

voting for anybody but glorious leader in 2028 is punishable by death.

ehh, let the votes sort em out :)

The problem we have here is that PETA has started vicious campaigns and said things that were either untrue or misleading, then pulled them down and posted whitewashed versions on their website.

You’re posting their current outward-facing propaganda. And at the moment, their messages are marginally OK. Still a little too far on the gross just to make a point. However, those messages evolve, and their activism evolves. All too often they cross lines, they pull back like it never happened.

PETA started a campaign that Milk causes autism based on a couple of week studies, which they’ve since removed from the record

They find some bad actors in the wool industry and rightfully go after them, then turn around and say it’s all that way.

I did volunteer dog transport for a while, moving animals out of one of their kill shelters to non-kill shelters in other states. Volunteers set up relays to move the dogs, sometimes hundreds of miles away, to save their lives.

It’s one of the fundamental problems with PETA, people don’t trust their campaigns. They put out a bunch of real information, good causes, then release some false or misleading data, everyone gets stirred up, you go a look into it and the hot button stuff ends up falling apart. The gross stuff doesn’t shock people into action; it makes them wary of the organization. Maybe it gains them a few activists, but they could be so much more effective if they played it all straight.

It’s hurt their image to the point that it’s not just that people don’t care, but they don’t trust what they have to say.

Back in my 20’s I looked into them, actually considered supporting them. I was thinking they couldn’t possibly be doing the things people accused them of. Just digging for a while, I couldn’t bring myself to support them. There are numerous issues that could be brought to light. Plenty of winnable fights for good causes, * instead the pick Anti-pets, autism milk, trying to take down the entire wool industry like every sheep out there is getting eviscerated. They’re absolutely tone deaf to the non-PETA population to the point of being unsavory.

Print stickers of caged chickens and put them on eggs, put dairy farm images on milk cartons. put up booths outside supermarkets with impossible burger sliders. Ohh wait, yeah, they won’t support plant based burgers either.

And honestly, that’s not even scratching the issue of uncontrolled extremists doing things in their name.

Again, who cares enough to bother?

English is * the last language that should complain; unfortunately, 54% of the US population has a literacy level below that of a 6th-grade student.

I love this

Because god forbid someone reposts an image here from Reddit that had been censored. what a travisty :)

Strangest fucking hill to die on.

An authorized service technician has entered the farm

Everything is of course expensive. One of my exes was a farm girl. They had a smallish farm 250 Acres (101 Hectares).

He had a couple dozen cows, planted every other inch he could find, and rented a few neighboring fields. He had everything for planting/maintaining/harvesting. Anytime something got paid off, he picked up something else. Everything was a juggling act. Every free dollar was reinvested. They lived relatively decently, but modestly. Everyone got whatever they needed; nothing was extravagant. He had some outrageous amount in loans, many millions.

There’s a mickey mouse one about to come out that was called mickey mouse trap, but they managed for convince them to change the name to the mouse trap

wait until copyright expires and someone will make a horror movie about it :P

inconclusive due to the drug cocktails they probably take daily.

Let’s just check for alcohol and opiates.
