Whenever people talk to me about "what can we do about climate change"?
Any amount of "tax the corporations" or "introduce legislature to combat CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions" is met with a collective meh
So I developed a catchier "take all the govt money out of animal husbandry" because it's a snappy way to indicate that there is a lot of tax money already going to those industries - both directly and indirectly - that would barely or inadequately be compensated for by taxing them. A tax would only ever be paid for by the customer anyways, so why create the option of more loopholes that would further exacerbate the wealth disparity if we can just dry up the teat they've been suckling at for decades?
I don't have all (or any of) the answers, I'm just a vegetarian really tired of having to pay more for meals that should cost less simply because it's not a cultural norm yet.
Mods, I'm sorry if this comment isn't sciency enough. If we were good enough at self-policing there wouldn't be any need for you, and thank you for doing the necessary, uncompensated work.
plz don't delete

We should stop subsidizing meat and dairy.

While individually and sporadically presented as they are, these kinds of dadaist how-to's and graphics do nothing for me. A tiny bit of discomfort, but then I forget about it.
I have an irrational concern that someday, someone is going to inject me with a hallucinogenic substance and strap me to a chair a la Clockwork Orange and make me watch them on repeat while I quickly spiral out into insanity.
Happy Valentine's day!

No need to be polite about it, we can scream at them and throw things - they'll understand.

A potential answer is that the queer community is so, so starved for good rep that when a non-straight relationship gets the same emotional weight and is presented as a completely normal thing, it feels so fresh and wonderful.
And also, it is a great piece of art in general.

Missed the point and will continue missing the point when we continue to meet people only tangentially associated with Joel and Ellie and see their stories told in greater depth than what the game(s) could do.

That's why you chug a mixture of baking soda water solution and yeast to get the maximum amount of gaseous CO2 release

Not an expert on data collection and ethical data use, all I know is that instead of getting a dozen ads for prenatal vitamins when Big Data suspects you might be pregnant, there are a whole lot of other useful resources that might benefit someone in such a circumstance.

What if we did something useful with all of that data they scrape instead of trying to use it to manipulate us into buying more crap we don't need?

"Several years old hyper-adapted aquanautical eels" doesn't have the same ring as "teenage mutant ninja turtles"
