I think the particular issue with the dog meat industry is that it has high amounts of cruelty, even by meat industry standards. Iirc there’s the belief involved that if the dog suffers it makes the meat taste better. So at many farms they are often tortured before death and killed in painful ways. They are also kept in horrendous conditions. Farm animals are often kept in horrendous conditions as well, but generally that’s because of a lack of regulation and most people who oppose dog meat farms also oppose the mistreatment of farm animals as well.

One side is literally trying to erase the rights of people like me and my friends, while the other isn’t. So what I think is that you should shut the fuck up.

There are no laws stating that we have to watch or see ads, so forcing us to watch them feels like a huge overstep. Companies shouldn’t be able to have this much control over a public service.

I don’t remember if it always did every time from the beginning, but it did last time.

Anyone still trying to claim “both sides” at this point are just willfully ignorant.

Just because you want to vent about an ex with friends that doesn’t mean you have to send your ex money. Even if you write “you suck” on the bills, you’re still doing them a favour.

I’m sure black people couldn’t possibly have developed these skills on their own terms if they were free. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Yes, I would say the same thing about capital punishment, I’m not a fan of it personally.

Historically the guys using firing squads have not generally been the good guys.

There’s this delusion amongst transphobes that they can “always clock a tranny” and that they’re never wrong when they decide that someone is secretly trans because they have a more prominent Adam’s apple or something equally stupid. Of course the truth is that they’re wrong constantly and are just idiot bigots, which this illustrates rather poignantly unfortunately. They don’t really know who is or isn’t trans, they just want to pretend they know so they can feel vindicated by “recognizing” trans people, and they convince themselves that trans people can never truly blend in to society. Because if trans people really were capable of being indistinguishable from cis people, then that would mean that at some point they might have, gasp, treated a trans person like a human being and used the proper pronouns. The horror.

Of course trans people shouldn’t have to blend in, they shouldn’t have to pass to be treated as the gender they identify as, or with basic human decency.

I was going to mention that if it’s still growing the user base there may be some less interesting tags, but damn. Yeah, those are just really dull in a random way lol.

They need something for iOS though.

Then it’s a good thing they didn’t compete against a man.

They didn’t lose to a man in drag silly, they lost to a woman.

Even if there are alternative ways to see the content of the comments, making it more difficult to access that content still does something and isn’t pointless. The average person isn’t going to go through the trouble of checking the wayback machine or some other external archive, or download any add-ons or what have you to undelete or unedit comments. Not unless they already know that the comment said something they’re interested in enough to put in that extra effort, which is going to be a pretty small selection of people who might but probably won’t look into your comments unprompted to begin with anyway.
