Apparently due to their confusion with the word ‘extinction’.

Ah, makes sense. I guess anything that could cost them money needs to be dealt with.

Maybe someone should inform the mountain lions that humans = bad. It’s not like people expect others to allow some big carnivore to eat their pets/livestock, protected species or not. Maybe we just need to do something to keep the mountain lions from coming into human habitats? Like, maybe release a bunch of rabbits into the wild so they have food to eat?

They’re monsters. Destructive, noisy, and cannibalistic. We couldn’t possibly eat enough of them.

Although I think we can say that a fresh pandemic is better than some claustrophobic chickens, assuming that being outdoors and mingling is what increases the risk of various illnesses.

Yeah, we wanted food production that could keep up with the demand of a growing population. Now we have people that care more about a chicken’s mental health than they care about hungry poor people that can’t afford eggs. Good job humans! I’m sure the Chicken God will reward us for protecting the emotional well-being of his horde of mindless meat robots in the afterlife! The poors will just have to get a second or third job if they want to eat historically inexpensive breakfast foods. It’s worth it simply for the look on the chicken’s emotionless, cold face when it steps food into a spacious field of dirt and shit. And the virtue signaling that the marketing department gets to print on the cartons is just a bonus! “Happy” chickens! Because chickens are capable of feeling complex human emotions! And nothing tastes better than some good ol’ anthropomorphism!

This is a new song we made to enter the NPR Tiny Desk competition but I missed the application deadline! Oh well. It’s 2 acoustic guitars, one of which being a nylon string. We lost one of the DI inputs so we just used large diaphragm condensers. Filmed in a garage with a tiny desk, as per the contest rules. Missed out entering the competition but maybe someone can enjoy it anyway?

Unfertilized eggs. Unless the US changes the law and says that a woman’s period is a living person, I think we can eat eggs without feeling guilty. It’s not like the chickens will eat them, right?

So, free range eggs are increasing our risk of disease? Now I want barn eggs. Safe chickens that are indoors and have nice air filtration to keep bugs out.

I get it. We domesticate dogs, yet want the dogs to be able to run around in nature like their instincts, so we slap together some amalgamation of “nature” for them with sprinklers and fences so they can pretend we didn’t paint them into a genetic corner.

Plenty of not great singers are successful because they are the band. They want to sing the songs they wrote.

Definitely something going on here… Some questionable decisions have been made. Like, is that door half a foot above the stairs?

That’s always what my thought process is too. Nobody was originally from anywhere, really. I’m sure all the plants and animals that existed in that space for IDK, billions of years before primitive humans crawled across a land bridge would take issue with us saying humans had always been there. It’s not like the “aboriginal” people even purchased the land from the previous inhabitants; probably just ate and killed them. A bit worse than eminent domain if you ask me.

Naw, it’s probably cuz of covidz.

I think they’re just being realistic. People feel good about their leaders virtue signaling by sanctioning Russia, but it’s just a slap on the wrist. They’re still doing the same thing they were doing a year ago, with or without sanctions. Supplying Ukraine with weapons likely goes a bit further to aid things, but we’re still handing out guns, one year later.

We’d have to sanction the countries that are supplying Russia, which probably also supply the rest of the world, so we hit an invisible wall. Sanctions are just virtue signaling.

Hey, don’t forget the benefit of having our world leaders signal virtues! They’ll get re-elected for sure! And all without actually having to do anything that would have realistically prevented a full year of needless deaths.

No. It’s probably in some tourist spot. Normal people know how much a steak costs.

Greed. Simple as that. The restaurant owner(s) just want more money so they make the menu items more costly. It’s a great time to do it too, since we can blame Covid or Ukraine and customers are begrudgingly understanding, even if those things have no actual effect of their business.

Probably in some tourist area, or near an airport or something. Definitely not near a Costco. Although, to be fair, people are really bad with money. They’ll pay a lot of extra for convenience. Oh, and being in the regressive US which still grasps on to tipping culture, go ahead and just add 20% more to each menu item!

Buy new cleavers and just raise prices on everything so the owners don’t lose any money. Same as any business. Always protect the investors and executives while passing along the consequences of poor business management to the customer. They’ll complain, but they’ll still pay.

Based upon the total food and drink cost, no less. So the waiter at this restaurant feels entitled to more tips than the waiter at Applebee’s just because the menu options were priced higher. Same amount of work, but one gets more money. Tipping culture!

Free publicity!

Yeah; someone needs to invest in a mirror…

Oh that’s just because of Covid and Ukraine. That’s where meat is produced, presumably, so you understand. Gas prices too. Can’t have a nice proxy war with Russia if you tax payers aren’t getting robbed every time you go out, right?
