I like the sign; but anarchy is for dumb edgelords who don’t have any imagination, understanding of how humans behave, or understanding of what humans need.
I’m a leftist but I agree. Anarchy is unstable and will eventually turn to dictatorship, democracy or neofeudalism as people will always want someone or something to lead them.
I had a great email inbox, organized with tags, was able to read every email daily. Then I got married and my fucking wife used my email address for stupid shit at random stores and now it’s all spam.
Back in the day I had rules and filters to put all my emails into folders and shit that I could go through whenever and kept my actual inbox just important shit. Then Google came out with inbox and it was so much better than normal Gmail and I made the switch. Problem was it didn’t play jive with all my rules and filters so I turned them all off and apparently deleted them. When they discontinued inbox it fucked my email all sorts of up and it’s never been the same.
A supermajority of animal feed comes from the waste product of crops we that were being grown anyway, or grass from a fallow field that needs to be harvested anyway (not enough the latter due to logistics, but my local farms all do). That whole “8 to 1” calorie to cow thing leaves out the part that it’s 8 calories of landfill material to make 1 calorie of beef. Nobody has an “animal only” corn field. And nobody is using harsh animal-killing chemicals on the fallow fields.
And cows are still being fed things whether you eat them or not. We need their manure and it’s overall better for the environment than synthetic fertilizer. Without some form of fertilizer, we need much more farmland, which means more animals killed per calorie. All compared to 700,000 calories in a cow.
Unfortunately, nobody has ever demonstrated in a defensible manner that a horticulture-only scenario would be anywhere near as efficient on animal lives as what we have now. It’s one thing to cut animal intake 10%, entirely another to try to rebuild our farming industry without animals.

According to the Alberta Cattle Feeders Association, 80% of the feed is composed of corn. According to the USDA itself half the corn grown in the US was used for animal feed, and 78% of the world’s soy production is made for animal feed.
Is the waste product of corn and soy included in these numbers?
Honestly this is better than it was - prior to this change the shorts were just mixed in with the regular videos … now at least you can scroll past them and see only videos.
