even if you like ICE you should call the cops on them, because they won’t prove they’re ICE, so you don’t actually know if it’s ICE or a group of unaffiliated shitheads using the excuse to do whatever they want.

that’s true to a degree, but not for 10k hours, 10k hours is literally the amount of time people use as a benchmark for slogging away at something until you master it and i can’t think of any FPS game that is quite that varied unless you just play a new map every day

i think “government-run grocery stores” is a bit beyond centre-left, maybe left but keeping half a foot on the centre

there’s still a lot of people who live in a place with a yard, and if most of them come together to require the ability to keep chickens there then it’ll be untenable for that permission to be denied by HOAs/landlords/local government

when in doubt: just blatantly fucking lie

dwarves all have a chronic case of flabby repairman asscrack

i feel like flying is something you either do fairly regularly, or you haven’t even considered setting foot on a plane for 10 years.

what has helped me is just pivoting heavily to chicken, i used to basically just eat beef and pork, so simply eating a different kind of meat helped ease into eating non-meat meals as well.

meat alternatives are of course great, but i also think soybeans (or similar) are very underrated, just raw green soybeans are astoundingly meat-like for being a straight up unprocessed vegetable. Great in salads.

there are definitely places (hello) where anything more fancy than potatoes and peas costs more than (cheap) meat, looking at the veggie and fruit section of a swedish grocery store is depressing

health-wise it’s red meat but culinarily it’s white meat, it’s wonderfully simple and easy to understand

the irony here is that you’re doing a trope, israel is specifically using the fact that jews have and continue to suffer to hide their own heinous actions, you’re doing precisely what a genocidal state wants you to do.

sure, but that doesn’t affect the actual production of copper, they’ll just start recycling it when mining becomes more expensive than recycling it regardless of taxes

proceeds to never bomb a refinery

because this is per kilogram, not per serving. you don’t eat a kilogram of chocolate in a day

People on lemmy will really be like ‘you believe in individual action? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, firebombing an oil rig’ and then not firebomb an oil rig.

coffee and chocolate can also be had fairtrade, which helps ease the conscience

pro tip: lidl (in sweden at least) sells remarkably cheap fairtrade chocolate

there are remarkably acceptable vegan cheeses these days, i’ve tried one from i think it was Valio or Oddlygood (which might be the same fucking company anyways iirc) and it’s just slightly weird starchy cheese that melts in a strange way.

you get a lot of cups from one kg of coffee

some countries have terrifying food safety standards

to some degree maybe, but even a doubling for most of these things still puts them way way way below the emissions of beef.

but things like beans are trivial to grow on a small local scale, if you can get your food from local farmers that aren’t using 500 tractors and tons of artificial fertilizer then it’s hard to even theoretically do better.
