Sometimes meat eater here that has gotten into debates about this before.

Honestly, phrasing it as a "debate" is the wrong headspace entirely. You aren't going to convince anyone to change any position they hold by arguing. This is a psychology problem more than a vegan one, as people dont like to be made to feel like they're doing something wrong.

I grew up with boomer parents that served meat with every meal and the thing that got me to reduce my meat intake after moving out was twofold:

  • exploring culinary options from other cultures that eat less meat.
  • meat being really fucking expensive for someone fresh out of college.

Host a dinner party sometime and show people that the options aren't just bland tofu flavored to resemble meat like they were in the 90s.

Also, dont expect to fully convert someone. Treat the times they order a dahl from an Indian place instead of a burger as a win.

Isnt this basically what the Catholic Church did in Dogma when they introduced Buddy Christ? Like down to the motivations and everything?

Is it because the people that we need to worry about don't get paid massive wages? Instead they leverage their massive stock ownership as collateral for loans. And stock bonuses are not regulated or taxed in the same way as real wages.

I'm sorry about my neighbors, things are fucked up here.

The oilsands have warped the economy so much in this province that any political party that doesn't align with the wants of that industry specifically is seen as the antichrist.

As a result, we also get a lot of the anti-gay, anti-trans rhetoric that comes part and parcel with right wing politics.

Just think how much better he'd be doing if he got rid of FPTP like he promised a decade ago.

Honestly, AI is super useful if what you need doesn't require much creativity. For example, if I want to know how to setup an eDiscovery case in Exchange Online then I can probably trust Copilot to tell me the correct answer.

If I need to write a block of code to check for XSS or CSRF, then no, AI is not going to be trustworthy.

We might not hear about it, but there will definitely be consequences for these people when they're caught.

"hey what if we made a cartoon entirely about the revenge fantasies of a 12 year old girl?"

"Sounds great, make it papercraft too, just to make it extra unsettling"

I have a soft spot for Bakshi movies but I haven't seen this one. I will have to check it out.

I think my favorite is Heavy Traffic. It feels like they figured out most of the production problems with Fritz by the time they made it, but still haven't run entirely out of money like with Wizards.

Probably the Toxic Crusaders, but only after watching the movie it's based on.

The cartoon itself is just another knockoff TMNT, which was the style at the time. I have no idea how someone showed a board of directors the Toxic Avenger in the early 90s and said, we should take this and make it a cartoon for children.
