You’re right on all fronts. I’ll add that there’s a human element to both the plant and meat consumption story: in both cases, harvesting and slaughtering, the dirty work is often …

There’s a really good case for sentience, though. This isn’t a problem of infinite regression: no one is asking for you to become a Jain.

Perhaps you should reconsider the eating them, if you do.

Sorry, I don’t have any sources that prove your assertion.

The study you linked didn’t control for age.

> Sensible rules about dangerous work of course make sense. Roofers should wear harnesses when appropriate, everyone should have ppe. But calling a sixteen year old construction wo…

Austin has a great housing first community. https://mlf.org/community-first/

The other hesitation with “housing first” is that it’s associated with housing projects, aka ghettos. I’ve seen The Wire (2002-2008). Is what they’re going to build for the homeles…

You got downvoted for this for using the term “class” but I tend to agree. In this context it has nothing to do with how much money you make. I have know classy broke people and tr…

That was the administrative reason why the question was not permitted. The case was raised to begin with because of fears it would result in undercounting non-citizens, who would b…
