“I followed the rules, Boss. Not my fault the rules are stupid 🤷‍♂️”

Absolutely, just the issue isn’t with the word “female” or “male”, it’s with the objectification and sexualization. We don’t have to vilify a word because it describes the subject of undue sexualization. “Person” or “human” could also be used, but I’d bet nobody would raise a stink about that.

If it were a slur or something, that’d be completely different, but this is just a term that people don’t use on a normal basis, unless they’re part of a smaller group (military, science, maybe ESL) that does use it more than the general populace. Just because you’re not used to it, doesn’t make it wrong. Vilify the person, not the normal language they use.

I certainly would and do describe people by “male” or “female” daily, along with everyone in the military, and anyone else that isn’t afraid of words.

Most likely Deuteranomoly actually, anopias defects are slightly more rare.

Holy shit I was just there for the first time last weekend, didn’t even realize that was Harambe

Got me on that point - my primary point is that due to their lesser function, and extremely different species, I find it just fine to consume them given they’re raised properly, and aren’t constantly in pain. Y’know, not in cages, and not exploiting the definition of “grass fed”, or “organic”, or whatever Tyson wants to advertise next that makes rich people feel like they’re the good guys.

Ultimately, once lab meat can be of the same quality and easily accessible/affordable, then I’d consider switching. No reason not to. Until then, it’s the easiest, most accessible, most fulfilling, and healthiest way to get the nutrients we need, and doesn’t weigh on my conscience, nor should it.

Fuck Tyson though, those bastards can go to hell.

See, now you’re actually just forcing your worldview on people. They literally are not people, they are not sentient, intelligent, nor do they have language. They are not analagous to people, and you comparing this to racism is a really shitty attempt at ad hominem.

Grow up.

Animals other than humans aren’t people, that’s why it’s okay. You should be the first law enforcement official that prosecutes predatorial non-human animals

Would you believe that I don’t want to eat just plants and pills for each meal? Would you also believe that I disagree with the industrialization of farming and the animal abuse that is so commonly paired with it.

There are humane ways to eat meat, and while they’re difficult to find, it’s a lot easier than eating what most people would consider disgusting everyday.

Elitism

Yeah, pretty much the go to for my family’s type of issues

It’s about how I applied to an associate engineer position, made it through 3 rounds of interviews, then got rejected only to find out they hired a senior engineer with over a decade of experience at AWS. /rant

Yeah, I don’t really count running mbam as learning

It doesn’t even matter, Elvis fired them, slandered them on Twitter, and now he’s upset that a different company hired them??? Are they supposed to just stay unemployed?
