I'm about to move out of California at long last, to restore an old house in a distant land, start the initial planning phases of growing my own food on a larger scale around it, and a while after that, experience fatherhood for the first time.

I won't be completely off the grid, but I really don't like using my phone for anything but phone calls, and posting here while I have so many other things that take priority would be a really annoying and counterproductive distraction that I might get pulled into anyway if I got carried away or got into lurking and then saw someone proverbially wrong on the internet. I know very well how that tends to go by now.

I may return someday, probably when I have time to complete my next novel. It is currently a work in progress, and I will almost certainly want to share it here when it is done.

Until then, may you never stop posting, comrades!

I HATE MODERN MOVIE TRAILERS

I HATE MODERN MOVIE TRAILERS

Even if I actually wind up liking the movie, like 90% of the trailers are THUMPTHUMPTHUMP jumpcutty pretentious nonsense and make the movies look like shit.

The only good that can come of this is the likely Screen Rant Movie Pitch treatment on Youtube.

Now that I think about it, Hobbes did have very similar vibes to modern internet edgelords that claim that everyone would do (horrid action here) if only they knew they could get away with it, and also tend to subscribe to the ruinous brainworms of "Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory" which basically declares everyone being horrible on the internet is just being ironic therefore no actions should ever be taken against "ironic" nazis and the like.

Yes it was last week, but the Kant/can't pun counter has reset!

Now let's get to the meat of the issue. ALL human food production causes non-zero emissions, yes even the food you eat. Yes even if you grow it yourself. According to the link you provided "meat accounts for ~60% of green house gas emissions from food production." I would say, so what? Humans need to eat food and some food production is going to emit more green house gases then other food. Trying to optimize our diets to reduce our impact on the world at the expense of enjoying that world is something no one actually wants, including you. At the end of the day everyone has to eat food. So you say "But if we just cut meat production, we would reduce the green house gases of food production by 60%!" Well in less then 80years, the population of the earth is projected to be ~11billion. That is ~50% more people and thus 50% more greenhouse gases emitted from food. So now what do you now?

It's 2100ad, and we got rid of meat 80years ago, along with 10,000 years of human culinary culture and animal husbandry, and now we are right back where we started as far as green house gases (though probably worse because fossil fuels are still around). So what have you solved? What did destroying a huge part of the essence of human society accomplish? Hundreds and thousands of cultures were told that because burning coal and natural gas is cheaper and certian people will get rich from continuing to do that, those billions of people can't have certain kinds of food anymore. That's not a deal anyone will take, nor should they.

The problem is that people are mean to animals? Sorry, I don't see that as a problem at all.

We should destroy all human culinary culture and eat only what is the most efficiency use of land? Why?

Your solution to the environmental damage caused by agriculture is "eat less food." That's not a solution at all! My solution is that amazing experiences that human culture and society can provide us is 35% of the problem so let's address the other 65% because that's the shit that doesn't make life worth living. Shipping consumer electronics 8,000 miles just to throw away within a year doesn't make anyone happy. Spending 2hours a day commuting via car to some shitty office so that you can sell more consumer junk doesn't make anyone happy. These are the things that should be changed. The fact that people eat different food then you should be celebrated. Human culture is awesome and a world where we all eat the same food because it's the most efficient isn't a world worth living in.

And the grand Reddit-tier ableist carnist finale:

I suppose it's a deep seated psychological harm inflicted by your family when they forced you to eat dinner that one time. I hope you get the help you need, but unfortunately you will not find it here.

Adeiu.

This shit is dire.

Topical, isn't it?

Yes, he described Palestinians as "the bugs" and said some other really fucking ignorant quotes from that movie without the slightest understanding of Paul Verhoeven's intent (his effort may have been doomed from the start; he even scolded actors on set for "not getting it" and just enjoying the fascism).

I have some license with what I say because I'm moving and transferring out of state in a few weeks but I also don't want to have a bad mark on my record by saying something particularly scary about the IDF, so what should I tell him on Monday?

It's so telling that it's been a long established chanlord policy that "anything goes" on /b/ except furry art. Gore and snuff are fine, but that? Outrageous!

One time, it was halflings. All halflings. Pipes and breakfasts and gardening small-talk, all the time.
