Can images of animal abuse please be labeled as such and get a NSFW blur please?

If you took all the seeds off a strawberry, it'd still be a strawberry. A bowl full of strawberry seeds is not a bowl of strawberries.

No, but I did get an Xbox that only needed a power cable.

That is useful, but I see it's a third-party feature. I was able to find a "send to Kindle" page on Amazon that would allow the sending of a page as a PDF file.

Scientific studies also use male and female in reference to human subjects' gender identities. Woman and female are both incredibly old terms which have been used interchangeably as there was no widespread concept of gender identity in the English-speaking world until recently. We had to invent the term "gender identity" to separate gender from sex because they'd previously been used to refer to the same thing.

You seem to be saying that a trans man is female because he was assigned the female sex at birth. Have I understood that correctly?

I agree, but that argument doesn't do anything for people who don't really care about the animals' suffering if it means they get to enjoy meat. They understand what they're doing and have made the informed choice that they're okay with the arrangement. If you want them to stop torturing animals you're going to have to find them another way to get meat or you're going to have to kill them.

What if I told you beans don't taste like pork ribs? I love beans, but these things are not substitutes for one another, and insisting they are isn't going to make anyone become vegan.

This was extremely helpful to read, thank you.

I would like ads in the context of places where I'm looking for a good or service, or where volunteering such information would be potentially beneficial to me. Things like voluntarily signing up for specific advertising emails or related products on a store page. Ads should serve people, not manipulate them and clutter up the town.

Also as long as we're still doing capitalism, I really like being able to get things for free in exchange for viewing ads. It makes things much more available to us poors.

They are unfortunately being used by children, who understandably think they look sick as shit, to murder each other. Here are some "highlights":

yeah, decoration/recreation (or do you want to ban the bow and arrow too? maybe ban boxing gloves?)/historical preservation

Blunt weapons and historical items are not banned per this legislation.

I don't really like the more recent entries in the series anyway, honestly. Like so many modern games, I feel like it's become over-complicated with systems and cutscenes, and I miss when it was just you and a sharp object vs a dinosaur. If you want to check it out, get a PSP or emulator. I wish I could remember which specific titles to recommend.

e: Freedom Unite, I think.
