What do you think most farmed cows eat?

Yes, I was indeed making a point about the actual conditions of farmed animals; not an abstract one about what may hypothetically be possible. I do consider what happens in the world to be more relevant here, than what we imagine could be

I came here to say the exact same thing (but just quickly scanned to see if someone'd said it already). Call me a snob, but I think it's a bit eclipse-ish to have a splash screen. I'll stick with tmux + vim + parinfer + rainb

If you get tofurkey or mock duck instead, you'll never have to worry whether it was battery chicken from a factory farm. Yes, it may taste slightly different, but it's a tiny cost to pay to prevent a long time of extreme suffering

Lion's are not on a mental level where we can demand that of them. Similarly vegans are generally also not arguing for dogs to have drivers license, or to give cows the right to vote, because they don't have the mental abilities t

While a similar transliteration (ø-> oe) would be understood by Danes, it can create misunderstandings: køn (pretty) != koen (the cow), søn (son) != soen (the sow), røde (red) != roede (rowed), tør (dry) != toer (a two) and rør (pipe) !=
