My entire argument is subjective, like any other, as it stems from my personal views, thoughts and experiences.

Depends on who you ask and the background of your question.

Yes

It is undeniable in current day the horrors industrial farming creates and inflicts on millions of sentient beings to sustain a business that was originally fomented in order to supply food for a post-war world where several countries were rendered with little or no usable land for farming.

The traditional model of farming, where animals were an integral part of a production chain that kept the land itself alive and reduced waste to a minimum was destroyed to give place to a highly destructive model where lowest cost, hight profit margins and speed of production is absolute.

In this process, thousands, if not millions, of landrace animals, along with heirloom seed varieties, went extinct and were lost. Petroleum products and by-products entered the daily life, from food, to clothing, to essentially anything imaginable. Not because those were better but because it was cheaper and protected interests.

Knowing this and still leaning heavily on an animal protein based diet with no concern for its toll on our collective ecosystem and the suffering it creates is nothing short of regrettable.

No

Meat is cheap. Artificially cheap but still. Processed foods cheaper; with meat in it, even more.

Many people throughout the world do not have access to the means to have a fully exclusive or at least heavily based vegetable diet, either because of the environment they live in or simply because they lack the means to afford it. Many people in developing countries still depend on cattle to provide food and raw materials, if not on hunting, trapping and fishing. Even more people, in rich, developed countries, don’t have the money to afford a proper diet, even less a vegetable based one.

These people are as worthy of living as any other. It can not be taken against them wanting to survive.

Maybe

Some people aren’t aware how much their personal decision can have a meaningful impact.

Others don’t have the time or hability to extract from vegetables meals that can truly satisfy them and don’t want to resort to ultraprocessed foods. Others are simply too deep into a cultural mindset that blocks them from experimenting.

It is just another type of barrier. There is a degree of lack of interest and effort in this stage but we can’t (shouldn’t) hold against people their personal circumstances, which adds poorly when it comes to changing minds, habits and cultures.

Take your pick.

These guys need to cut back on the caffeine. Next, they will be bringing duels back.

As I read the thread again I was on the verge of thinking I was thinking about kitchen paper towels.

I have to insist on my original stance. The zig-zag paper towels commonly found in public bathrooms, where I live, almost melt when in contact with water. I buy them to my own house, to use as tissues, as the paper is soft enough for such use. I use them in my workplace. I find them at cafes, supermarkets and shopping centers. Every single time, so fragile it requires several towels for one to dry their hands and it makes no difference how much you ball it up, as the paper starts to fray and dissolve has it soaks.

I do not doubt you but the nearly indestructible paper towels were a thing some ten years ago, here, not anymore.

Ah, the details. I understand. If you have a yard, use it to water the plants. Flowers like the organically enriched water.

Don’t. That grease sticks to the pipes inner walls. It builds up a crust that has the capacity to trap other things in it.

Pee, poo, paper (toilet).

Put it into the toilet flush tank and you save a few liters for the next sit at the White Throne.

Unless the paper towels are of a reinforced type of paper, usually, every paper present at a bathroom is water soluble.

Please, don’t. Those have the power of sticking to everywhere and anything.

I don’t know where you are talking from but in my country that falls under false advertising and is punishable with hefty fines, especially because cloggings of sewer systems by such products are charged to the origin, which is becoming easier to do. The dumbest person on the land would start thinking if they got charged for a sewer clean-up more than once.

I do not advise it. Dump the liquid in your kitchen sink and the solids into your bin.

Good for you! I wish I was that fortunate.

There are wet wipes specifically made to be flushable and safe for such end, being isent of plastic, but most people think baby wipes are the same. Which they are not.

Free tip: every now and then, dump some bleach down your drains. It dissolves hair and the fat from soaps and creams.

Poo, pee and paper, if you insist.

The two languages split and diverged into the forms they currently have due to the people living in the territories.

Portugal developed a more nasal and closed speech, where vowels are commonly swallowed or nasal, closer to celtic speech roots, while spanish maintaned its more open speech structure, with every vowel clearly marked.

It’s easy for a portuguese to follow spanish and brazillian while the opposite is often not. The european portuguese is denser, more compact and even faster for the majority of time. By comparison, spanish and brazilian are slower paced and open.

Humans are the true orcs. Our biology is border line insane when compared with the rest of the animals on this planet. Perhaps if we were aware that we are the orcs we might be able to move on to higher goals.

I won’t. I do not have the slightest clue on what you just said.

My take: people are too lazy to think. The majority acts as toddlers, easy to distract and quick to show a temper if their wants, ideas or preconceptions are not met.

Oh, and professional sports should be banned tomorrow. Be active to be social and healthy, not to live under the thumb of sponsors and the scrutiny of fans. Professional sports are also terrible for kids, as the adults already in the sport, acting as coaches or aids are in it to move up the ranks by finding the next talent and showing how good they are.

You are actually correct on that point. I’m not in favour of start disbanding societies left and righ but I am fully in favour of dismantling the “democratic system” as it exists today and reshape it to make democracies… Democratic.
