My friends who grew up outside Oz find it weird that to me “it ain’t Christmas unless it’s scorching hot”. To me the idea of having a cold Christmas is the odd one.

I’s often just carnal desire which results in the death of something to the tune of ~80 billion (with a “B”) animals every year that didn’t really need to be slaughtered.

I’m genuinely curious: what’s the vegans’ answer to the question of “what happens to the cattle and other livestock if everyone on the planet turned vegan tomorrow?”. It’s not like they can just be let loose…

Realistically the amount of livestock is not sustainable and they’d need to be culled in gargantuan numbers so that they don’t go from a “managed” ecological disaster to an “out of control” ecological disaster. And then you get the slaughter without the benefit of feeding billions of hungry people.

The “M” would be for mezzanine, which is usually either a floor that’s small or at an intermediate height between main floors.

Yarp.

Hi! I’d love Deserts of Kharak if that’s still available!

It’s basically the Google Effect, with how no one gets excited about their new products these days for much the same reason.
