LOL I’ve done this many times. It’s a matter of pride. I don’t want people to be like, did a cat park this?

You’ll know you’re in trouble if you’re arguing and he stares blankly and starts jabbing his finger at the air.

What better way to tackle a crucial swing state as we near the finish line. He’s turned into Kamala’s best promoter. I’m loving this!

Many Indians I’ve worked with are sort of semi-vegetarian, eating meat but only on certain days. I think that’s specific religious doctrine rather than a general attitude about animals - like Catholics eating fish on Friday.

The response I’ve heard for that one is that domesticated animals are dependent on us because we’ve bred their survival capabilities out of them. People originally just captured wild animals and put a fence around them. Selectively breeding only the more docile ones has turned them into something they wouldn’t have been without our interference. To me that part makes sense, but the present reality is still what it is, and what you’re saying is still true.

I think that’s actually a very valid point. What level of involvement in producing the food makes it vegan or not vegan? If eating honey is unethical I would think so is eating food produced by the hard work of another person.

I remember fearing high school kids. I wasn’t even sure how old they were, just that high school was a jungle and any kid who went to high school was dangerous.

Used to be a rule of thumb that the lower limit for dating was half your age + 7. Dunno if that’s still a thing.
