like the point is that is should be theirs?

But the “gains” weren’t really “theirs” either, since they previously belonged to an organism lower in the food chain. It’s the circle of life.

For the plants part, it’s worth mentioning that it takes more plants for animal products than it does to eat them directly

I’m not arguing for or against eating anything, I’m saying that no matter what you eat, you’re “getting their gains.”

If you’re depressed because life sucks, then you should be motivated to fix what sucks. Unfortunately, that’s not how depression works.

Unfortunately, that’s not how life works, either. We are beset on all sides by things that suck AND which we have little-to-no power to influence.

EUGH, that’s like a whole extra SYLLABLE

(but this is also how I say it)

Why not just build your own dirty nuke from parts you got on the dark web and use it to wipe the city block containing the offending gas station off the map completely?

EDIT: Sorry, got to this discussion a little late

They stopped being “their” gains when they ceased to live, and became “your” gains when you ate them.

The same statement is true for plants, too.

(Saying this as someone who eats very little meat for animal rights reasons, and merely wishes to be padantic right now for some reason)

I appreciate the pro-tip! I’m fixed now and she’s had the IUD removed, so hopefully someone else in our position finds this info, because I think it would have really helped us.

Birth control is such a mess, and it seems like there are better ways that are kept from us, as if those in control would prefer we all be breeding for some reason…

I’m so sorry for what you and your family had to go through. I can empathize with the notion of being completely let down by supposed modern medical practitioners. I’ve lost someone close to me because a doctor (and her staff and associates) did not catch an error in proscribed/administered medication. At the end of the day, these vitally important systems are susceptible to human error, and it costs some people everything. I see and hear you – perhaps only because it happened to me as well; it feels like no one else could ever really know – but I do know what it’s like to feel like the only system available has utterly failed you.

We are all we have, each of us individually. I hope the best for you and those you hold dear.

Wife had a similarly terrible experience, and not that it holds a candle to yours and hers, but it was awful for me, too: Sexual intercourse was a guaranteed needle-stabbing-into-the-tip-of-my-dick situation, every time, and when it was brought up with the OBGYN, she dismissively said I was just “bragging about my size.” I was not. No action was ever taken, right up until I got a vasectomy and she had the IUD removed.

I’m sorry that you, and she, and so many others have had to endure what you have endured. I think these IUD’s need to go back to the drawing board, and on a larger scale, that there needs to be some major cultural shift to how male contraception is approached. This could be so much easier for everyone, if religion and money would get out of the way of science.

I’m not even looking it up, sometimes it’s more fun to let things be mysterious

Love the little “safety” rope

Yeah, I think my greatest fear in life is (and has been since a very young age) falling out of society due to some unforseeable life event and getting trapped in homelessness.

Copy errors like that demonstrate a real lack of professionalism, and I’d expected better coming from the originators of the Smash Me Daddy Double Cheeseburger. Their food is supposed to be slutty, not stupid!

He looks like a human version of a Muppet version of himself

I’ve never heard him say he doesn’t

Kid’s show, kid’s show, change the channel forrrr… Kids

I was but a boy of 12 when I first noticed her; a sleek and scaly body breaking the water’s surface in my grandfather’s pond. Everything changed that day. Gracefully darting and turning with such a distinctly feminine wile, she was… different from the other girls. Different like me. I was sure that she was watching me, just as I was watching her. Could she also be thinking, “is this love?”

Who among us hasn’t had thoughts of koi fish when in the throws of a dry spell?

Pretty sure this is not the first time he’s openly admitted to/advocated for cheating, while framing it as “because that’s what the left is already doing.”
