@ethnicohioan right, but, to me, this indicates a structural problem, not primarily the fault of individuals who happen to occupy that space in Society x.com/ahouse4all/staโฆ
Housing 4 All is Hot@ahouse4all
This May Day a reminder that more than half of unhoused people in the US have a part time or full time job and no matter how many times you throw their tent away, they still can't afford rent.

@RadishHarmers chiasmus one is better, but parallelism was smoking too. just my imo
English
I'm never quite sure if I should go with parallelism or chiasmus. Same order, or switch it up. Stylish flair, or simple blunt repetition.

posting something mildly critical of veganism on here is braver than anything jesus ever did

how do men cope with having really small dicks like genuinely

@CapobiaNB SL is not a dumb guy and i think his personal opposition to eating meat is genuine and respectable. I agree with him about being honest that animals are sentient beings that deserve our respect. That said, veganism is so contrary to our being that it's hard to take seriously

Recently my vegan friends asked me why our horse canโt just โeat fruits and vegetablesโ instead of grass and it just made me realize (bless their hearts) these folks donโt know anything about sustaining themselves off the land in a meaningful way

"Killing animals can show that you love and respect them more than people who don't want to kill them" is just one example of the incredible acrobatics taken for insight among "woke" critics of veganism.

@grayap9 @Sturgeons_Law no, because today they can eat Kraft Mac and cheese on foodstamps

@_rum_pumpumpum i had meant to say seal hunting, which is very important to inuit people. as someone who grew up learning about indigenous cultures and practices i am of the opinion that they probably love and respect animals more than most vegans who hold this opinion

@grayap9 @Sturgeons_Law killing for food, as my ancestors did for many generations, for survival, is not barbaric, sorry
English
@emoprog @Sturgeons_Law Killing for cultural reasons is barbaric. Just because the killer is "indigenous" doesn't change that

if i'm that platner guy, a bunch of new york city liberals getting really mad at my campaign is actually the best thing that could possibly happen right now

@grayap9 @Sturgeons_Law your view is that every society should be agriculturalist and any people who aren't should die?
English
@emoprog @Sturgeons_Law I think the seals are more important. Barbaric cultural practices should die out

why even post?
who cares?
where is my felix biderman to give me a fave?

@Sturgeons_Law it's weird to view those as unnecessary deaths just because people in a completely different ecosystem can potentially survive without them
English
@emoprog It's not unimportant, but it's not more important than avoiding the unnecessary suffering or deaths of sentient beings.
English
@Sturgeons_Law hmm, no, i think cultural history is important, actually
English
@emoprog In many modern cases, because of the ready availability of food, the reasons are primarily cultural, and so unnecessary for survival.

you can tell who signed the lucrative long-term posting contracts back in the day by who still posts today

@Sturgeons_Law do indigenous people who hunt animals for food kill them unnecessarily? the indigenous hunters who i am most familiar with are very careful about using the whole of the animal without waste
English
People who don't want to kill animals unnecessarily are, all things being equal, clearly more moral than people who kill them unnecessarily. Doesn't matter if the killers are indigenous, if it's important to their culture or religion, or anything else.
