So embarrassing! Even that gaudy sash doesn’t hide it!

What division is purple though?

A friend of mine created similar detailing on the leather jacket they made. It involved hand-cutting tiny deltas out of plastic, adhering it to the jacket, then painting it with some kind of leather protectant to create the embossed effect. They’re not sure how well it will hold up over time but it looked great on first wear.

All I’ve got is a condom and a nokia brick. Bend over.

But what if I want to eat trash food that’s bad for my body to punish myself for having the audacity to continue to exist?

Fine, fine. Guess I’ll just go lick the warp core!

Am I off base in seeing some similarities between this and the genocide of the Rohingya in Myanmar?

I don’t speak German but I can if you’d like.

Over the past five or so years, I’ve watched the vegetarian frozen food section at my supermarket expand from one little freezer door with some Annies meals and Bocca burgers to five or six sections carrying even generic store-brand vegetarian and vegan meals. I don’t often buy prepared food but I like walking by to see what they have. Same with milk options - it went from a shelf with either soy or almond to a full section of different nut milks and flavors.

Some of the wildest changes to me have been at festivals and events. It used to be that you got french fries or onion rings or popcorn and that was about it. Then they started making efforts, as misguided as they could be, like just slapping steamed veggies on a sub roll and calling it done, or serving pasta and plain tomato sauce. Now I go to festivals and there’s usually at least one really good vegetarian option at every stand, if not an entire stand serving just vegan and vegetarian options. I look forward to seeing what unique choices there will be rather than trying to eat ahead of time so I don’t have to worry about it.

People in the comments missing the point completely. The solution to animal cruelty is not human cruelty.

Yes, eating animals is cruel to animals, but meat eating isn’t going away, and being cruel to the people who work in those places isn’t going to stop the industry. It’s just going to physically and mentally harm a lot of underpaid, overworked, poor, immigrant people. People who don’t have healthcare for the injuries they incur working in hazardous places, for corporations who see them as just replaceable parts of a machine. Being harmed working in these plants isn’t going to result in fewer animals dying or better conditions for the animals we kill. It’s just more senseless harm.

No. Having inhumane conditions for the workers is cruelty.

Is this the first Lemmy legend story, like the jolly rancher one is for Reddit?
