    I got an email about "long running process on that one database server"

    okay there's... 400 of those

    thanks for the specificity

    This is like the emails I get about "that thing you did a few weeks ago"

    which I get with alarming regularity

    There isn't one, cohesive one

    I'm against it because I know too much about how the process actually works- the volume of growth serum you would need to produce a useful amount of meat is huge, and it isn't talked about

    Because where does growth serum come from

    Yea, I was just curious if there's any major sway one way or the other in "mainstream" culture, but I guess it's still far to niche.

    Thug Kitchen has made me want to try tempe.

    It ain't bad. Soaks up flavors like nobody's business. It's NOT meat though, just a tasty not-meat textured thing that flavors like you cook it and has some chew.

    Should try the Morningstar Farms veggie stuff too. The BBQ riblet is, I swear, McRib. And the corn dog is par+ to any frozen corn dog I have ever had.

    Fake meat hot dogs are basically the same as regular, cheap hotdogs

    Also the BBQ riblet does basically taste exactly like a McRib...which makes me suspicious in both directions

    SOMEONE IS LYING

    I mean I can tell the corn dog isn't meat. It's not PERFECT. But for 2 am freezer-based alcohol absorbency? Oh sure. The riblet is just... How? I suppose if you put enough bbq sauce on something it makes it good regardless.

    I need to get back to not eating meat. I have poor impulse control with food, probably related to my depression, so it doesn't usually go very well. I figure I will at least cut down on my meat consumption as a result of trying to avoid eating meat.

    So then it could address some vegans issues with meat? I guess for that, and space! It's worth the money it's gotten. I've just wondered what desire to make it got it so much money for R&D.

    This basically sums up my particular ontological condundrum:

    hamurabi

    you may also be amused that Catholic opposition in Eastern Europe to Soviet domination was frequently also heavily tinged with white supremacy and anti-semitism

    in any case, an economist's disposition here is to presume that talk is cheap: religion is at its core an economic institution, and the words are just dressing; the role that human reason and reflection plays in intermediating how religious rhetoric translates to institutional effect is limited. Until the day that the philosophers and linguists deliver to us a quantitative theory of semiotics, but we are a while away from that.

    And I would say -- and have said -- that religion is an inherently political enterprise to provide for the legitimation of timeless/classic modes of hierarchal organization and governance. It has historically bent the knee to/been subordinated and coopted by "secular" power for "secular" ends but also becomes a common mode of opposition to that same "secular" power.

    But the problem with calling Religion Politics-by-another-name is that there is then nothing that isn't Politics, by that definition... which becomes highly problematic when you're trying to isolate causal variables -- even if they all stem from the same ur-source (Politics).
