I am not, but I have a lot of respect for people who are. Personally, I'm too selfish and animal products taste too good.

It doesn't need to be produced through the incredible wasteful in-between animal. People can either eat straight up plant-based food, or alternatively go for lab grown meat. There's no need to go through all the inefficiency and s

Thanks, but I no longer live in the US :( I'll have to see if I can find it somewhere in the EU.

This looks intriguing but it's missing one key information: Where does one actually buy the stuff out here in the west?

I mean personally, I'm a straight-up Titoist. I don't think private enterprise should be allowed past small family companies. But within the capitalist framework that we live in? I think a progressive wealth tax that reaches 100%

Without government, this guy would buy an army of goons to violently force his will on us. The monopoly on force protects us from billionaires taking over even more than they already have.

At this level of wealth, there is no reason or empathy. It's all ego.

Thank you for the response! It seems like EndavourOS still is the right middle ground for me then, but I can understand the motivations behind this project better now. That being said, I'm not sure Arch is the best distro to build a ne

You can't even post titties on Facebook/Insta. Big corps are intensely politically motivated, they succumb to American prudery through advertiser pressure.

Ummm. Because of WW2 and the Nazis waging a war of extermination on the Soviet population? Many cities were completely reduced to rubble, as were any villages that got in their way. Amsterdam still has their pretty Dutch Golden Age building

Is "Swiss cheese" the same thing as Gruyere? Cause if so, that stuff is cave-aged in Switzerland as well!

I'm from Vienna. The reason I'm privileged is the legacy of Red Vienna and the Austromarxists, who built the social housing and the modern welfare state that makes Vienna the most livable city in the world. Your communists sucked,

Because capitalism will get its greedy claws in there one way or another. It's either this or logging operations.
