oh god the dude who comes in to clean up the office and do some paperwork is telling us all about his activist stuff that we should totally attend, like 'get the flouride out of our water' and 'we want access to alternative medicine'
I just thought of something. What is the default stance on lab grown meat for a vegan/vegetarian?
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

ask him if he'd like a vaccine
tell him he hasn't had one in a while and it's time to get with the program, be ominous

Have you considered offering him some free vaccines.

Has the fluoride thing been getting traction lately, or am I just hearing about it more for no reason?

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.
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 love that this is the season of adding pumpkin to everything.

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.
I just think its not really addressing the actual problem
I thought the problem was about suffering?
which is why there isn't a cohesive position- lots of people are veg/an for lots of reasons
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.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

Those people are the worst and I work in government that deals with public water. Flouride is the least of your concern for shit that is in your water (sometimes, literally shit).
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).
I can relate to the stubborn parent and the awful bridge tolls

Maybe it will be locked, maybe it won't be. The choice ... is up to you.
