How dare you say we read the internet!

If you’d like the same functionality but using pride flags to color in the distro logo, check out hyfetch.

Haha; I hate when that happens.

Mmm; that’s a really good point. I could definitely buy that; fair.

I think that’d make more sense if we’re considering the actual, underlying topic under debate but they were responding to gramie’s comment which didn’t challenge their assertion that the cows were hurt but just went (more or less): “counterpoint: ice cream is yum yum”.

In that context, going “sex is pleasurable, too, but rape is still wrong” isn’t terribly out of left field, to me.

But I get what you mean, for sure.

I mean, – if the answer is I can’t – we probably shouldn’t be framing our arguments universally, then; especially when there are relatively easy counter examples that disapprove the universality.

I wouldn’t even know where to buy milk that doesn’t come from factory farming.

I mean, that’s fair – I expect a lot of people don’t or don’t bother to do the research – but that’s still, definitionally, a contextual framework and isn’t universal. The premise that dairy consumption is universally (in all possible circumstances) evil assumes these arguments always apply; and they don’t.

You can get milk from a cow without harming the cow or violently ripping away her calf. Maybe it’s difficult, etc. But it’s not impossible. So such a universal argument is simply incorrect.

I only mention this because I have the same rhetorical tendency and people always somehow seem to think I’m equating the two: it’s not a statement that milk equals rape. It’s highlighting (with a stark example, arguably an unnecessary one) that a person deriving pleasure from an act doesn’t make the act immediately good (I dunno, stealing candy from a baby? For a less “vivid” counter example; I admit, I tend to use super obviously morally bad counter examples too, thinking it’ll make things more overly clear, and, instead, causing someone to think I think they’re the same thing rather than just operating under the same principle, of differing degrees).

(all that said, their argument doesn’t hold water, to begin with, as it’s not cruel or painful to the cow unless under factory farming and cows have no sense of ownership and don’t feel like their property is being “stolen”; a meal isn’t a proper meal if dairy isn’t involved, as far as I’m concerned)

Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh.

😄

You’d reminded me that I still wanted to try these, someday, and I went looking, again, for if there was an easier means (other than travelling to Hawaii); I found this place that delivers within the contiguous states: https://miamifruit.org/products/gros-michel-banana-box-order. If you had wanted to try one; more expensive, due to the fragility of the crop, but viable.

I expect it’s what you meant by putting O. K. in quotes but for a relative definition is O. K.: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/4/1/2232749/-Culturally-going-out-to-kill-Jews-on-Holy-Week-non-antisemitic-ly

To me, it felt like an obvious imitation of the myriad of articles that often have someone try Linux out, shortly, and then – often with obvious not understanding or just a surface level insight – proudly and definitively stating (or, at least, subtextually implying) that Linux was interesting but clearly not ready to be a Real™ operating system, etc.

But it seems most didn’t read it as that, either.

The issue I always run into is I progressively go to bed later and later until I just cycle through the 24-hour period.

That said, 'wouldn’t actually be a problem if I didn’t have to work…

Heh, fair enough.

What was the assignment?

You can order them from Hawaii (or maybe you have to physically be there).

It’s just no longer worth mass producing and shipping any more due to the potential to lose your entire crop.

That last one is just something that could’ve realistically existed.

…and would continue to exist, unaltered, well up until the 70s when, finally, it was modified due to growing public awareness; and only because of that.

Also, cult of personality is how they win elections. He’s already won and the election isn’t for another 3 years. He doesn’t have to win over the populace, right now.

My mom, to this day, refuses to refer to that event as anything other him getting a baboon’s heart.
