Skeet? Really? Lil Jon’s “Get Low” came out 22 years ago.

Now if they had said “Skibidi” that would be a different story.

“Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” (2023). Included in Amazon Prime, available to rent almost anywhere.

A charming thief and a band of unlikely adventurers undertake an epic heist to retrieve a lost relic, but things go dangerously awry when they run afoul of the wrong people.

This movie sadly bombed at the box office, but is in my opinion a near-perfect fantasy adventure flick that strikes a really good balance of narrative and comedy, and respects the source material without making it a prerequisite for enjoyment. I’d put it up there with “The Princess Bride” and I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets a similar cult appreciation in the future.

That’s what plastic playground slides are for.

Can you share the source for this chart? It doesn’t list whether this is for a specific country, region or global.

The chart also considers protein supply for this reason.

It’s extremely rare that grazing land is used for anything else. In fact, over half of tropical deforestation is done to create pasture land for cattle.

“Crop residues” or “crop seconds” only account for about a quarter of global animal feed, and the grain fed to cattle in the US alone could feed a billion people.

Please don’t present this as the norm for animal agriculture, as it’s disingenuous at best. The rare instances where this occurs are far outweighed by the habitable land use that animal agriculture accounts for globally. And even in the countries you call out, such as New Zealand, factory farming is on the rise, and pigs are almost exclusively factory farmed.

In case you, like me, prefer to have depressing data in the form of a webcomic:

TBH I’m kinda over seeing AI generated content in discussions like this. It used to be novel and quite impressive, but now that I’ve seen this type of thing so many times and the reality of the negative impacts of LLMs has set in, it just doesn’t hit for me at all. It’s fun to speculate about an LLM writing TV scripts, but my worry is that this will become an actual thing in the near future: soulless generated “content” companies can sell us without having to pay hardworking and talented writers, and that shit just bums me out.

Anyway, nothing against you, and I don’t fault you for posting it, but that’s my thoughts. Maybe I’m in the minority though, who knows?

I appreciate the B99 reference, but the difference between animal products and the plant based alternatives is small and getting smaller by the day. At the end of the day, it’s that difference in enjoyment you get that you are weighing against supporting inhumane practices like the one in this post

Most people eat animal products because they enjoy them more than the available plant-based alternatives.

Sony likes to pretend they’re consumer friendly with stuff like this but it always comes with a huge caveat to try to push people into their closed ecosystem. Same idea as releasing PS Studios games on PC, but only just before the PS exclusive sequel comes out.

It’s all fucked, from the way we’ve bred them, to how we treat them while they’re alive, to how we kill them. To me, perhaps the worst part is we do it almost exclusively for enjoyment.

Best we can do is sell you a $200 piece of plastic that promises to but doesn’t actually do these things, then automate your job away.

And even if they were treated well during their lifetime, the way we’ve bred them to produce enormous quantities of eggs, milk and meat would still result in short, horrific lives. It’s atrocious any way you look at it.

We’re undoubtedly in the midst of another mass extinction, caused by human activity. Here’s another one that will freak you out:

They’re not upset about them building bombs that kill Palestinian children, they’re upset that they also hire black people.

Ok now what?
