Did I even reply to your comment? Pretty sure my reply is to the other poster.

When did they say that? I must be missing a reply.

Its not worth it.

They aren’t coming on too strong just because you don’t like what they said. You might be a bit sensitive to the topic.

Theyd rather not do extra work and just charge slightly less.

Apparently he thought people were just complaining about nothing.

Vegans dont eat only vegetables, they eat grains like rice, as well as a wide range of legumes. Ive found replacing meat with a plant based protein source to be cheaper not more expensive.

I meant as a political talking point its relatively new, but I also havent been around forever so it might be a recurring topic.

I will say that in the 90s and 00s, the teaching was that we don’t do slavery anymore. Very explicit that slavery is bad, but its in the past so no worries. This has led to a lot of people born in the 80s and 90s becoming aware of this reality much later into their adult lives.

My guess is most of them still think slavery is “solved” in America. Most people aren’t going to look at most of the brands in their grocery store and think, “slave labor helped bring me this product.”

Yeah, they sorta gloss over that part in school when we learn about this stuff.

The forced labour part is relatively new-ish. I think the average American has no idea about the slave labour involved in their daily lives.

You might be past the age of learning new things.

Its definitely easier to double down rather than admit you’ve been wrong most your life about this, I suppose.

Show me on the doll where China touched you.

Pretty sure you are misreading what I’m saying.

We are only ever a week or so away from running out of oil. That’s what this is all about. America is too big, and consumes too much to maintain itself. As theres less to take and as America doubles down on the past, the country will degrade until it breaks.

I like when they started going through papers and pretended to read them. Fucking idiots.

Okay boomer.

No, it changes effects. Most other drugs the effects just get stronger and stronger. For example the respiratory depression from opiates progresses to the point breathing isn’t achievable. Alcohol progressively affects different parts of the brain, which causes different effects. So you have both the current effects worsening, plus adding more as you go that also get worse.

Hard agree, although mine is a middle aged Asian woman who talks about how fucked up my back is as she’s torturing me. 100% feel better after though, like immediately.

Its one of the few drugs that actually gets worse the more you use it. We should be more honest and strict about how much someone should be allowed to drink, especially in public. Alcohol should be given an extremely short leash.
