I don't disagree, I just think focusing specifically on meat waste at supermarkets is perhaps the wrong place to focus? If we organically reduce demand for meat, then the supermarkets will naturally stop carrying as much.

I think the idea of supermarket transparency is nice, but if the true horrors of animal product production aren't enough to change people's behavior or attitude, I don't think publishing some numbers will.

Every step in the chain of meat (+milk, eggs, etc) production and sale prioritizes profit over environment, animal and human health, and animal welfare. You're barking up the wrong tree.

I used bottles for a year or two and just switched to Faugus Launcher. Seems a lot more reliable at opening/closing Battle.net for whatever reason.

100%. The tortoise can't win if the hare kills him before the race has even started.

Chiming in here to say that animal agriculture is the #1 cause of deforestation, through clearing land for pasture and feed crops. The most powerful thing we can do on an individual level to reduce deforestation is to switch to a plant based diet, and encourage others to do the same. https://ourworldindata.org/drivers-of-deforestation

I always say no because receipts have been shown to commonly contain BPA and other cancer-causing/endocrine-disrupting chemicals that can be absorbed through your skin. The data seems to be mixed on whether or not the dermal uptake is significant enough to pose a threat, but I just don't want to take the chance.

If you have to have a receipt, try to touch it for the least amount of time possible, avoid touching the printed side, and keep it in a container or Ziploc bag in your main bag or somewhere else.

Usually not into poetry but this was really good. Even if we're scared and in pain, knowing other people feel the way I do helps so much 💜

At least one of the main features is seamless suspend/resume. Not sure what the state of that is on Windows but I've seen a lot of people mention that SD feature specifically.

They are referring to the Blitzchung incident, when China illegally took full control over Hong Kong before their agreement to let it be autonomous expired. During the mass protests a Hong Kong esports player voiced support for the protests on a Blizzard livestream for an event and was banned from the tournament and was forced to forfeit prize money he already won: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blitzchung_controversy

Edit: also, disapproval of the CCP =/= dislike of/racism towards Chinese people

As a fellow omnivore trying to eat more vegan/vegetarian recipes, I think rainbow plant life on YouTube has the best recipes that I've tried. If you've read Salt Fat Acid Heat, most/all of her recipes are based on that technique/ideology. Her red lentil curry is really good and I make a double batch about once every other month to keep in the freezer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHRyfEbhFFU

I live with people that don't like coconut milk so I just use a mixture of heavy cream and milk. I also sub half of the red lentils for brown lentils for extra fiber.
