I don’t have that much fertilizer though.

In that case you’re gonna love bone meal.

Im no expert but I hear nutrient levels in soils is trending in the wrong direction in general. Composting efforts need to become serious and as ubiquitous as recycling. Props to California for their efforts on that front.

Their philosophy boils down to “Just fucking leave animals in peace.”

It’s more complicated than that unless you don’t understand how many animals die when you clear farmland. Every crop you eat came at a cost to animals, if there’s no amount you deem acceptable or unavoidable your only option is to exclusively eat food you grew yourself, and that still alters the environment to be less favorable to animals, you just don’t directly kill them like large scale farms do.

Two factors to consider id say. Blood isn’t the only organic source of nitrogen so it’s not as if its necessary, thus I’d wager many vegans would consider it unnecessary animal suffering, at least in theory. However the caveat, and second factor, would be blood is byproduct, no ones killing the animals in order to obtain blood meal so many people including vegans may think it more ethical to not let it go to waste since weather or not there’s a demand for blood meal, there will still be animal blood that needs to be disposed of.

Strictly dietarialy, yes they would still be vegan. All soil is full of countless formless decomposed animals and plants, it’s an inescapable reality of how the soil came to be. It can only get more ethically involved when you choose to add it yourself imo.

I feel like the tumblr user asking why it’s necessary to tell people not to eat blood meal must have forgotten they’re on tumblr. The whole site is just smut curated by the generation that turned eating tide pods into a meme.

Exactly. Its no coincidence we went from Occupy Wall Street and national level discourse about actual healthcare and UBI, to such debates as ‘is genocide okay?’ and ‘are nazis bad?’ Purposeful misdirection that in it’s staunch opposition to anything left of capitalism, created fascism.

I feel like many forms of anarchism exist on a spectrum that contains communism as well. I’m not the most well read but I wonder if anarchism with some kind of currency can be established, or maybe just some kind of interim anarchism somehwere in that spectrum as the mode of production changes.

Exactly the first thing I thought of after reading the post. OP sounds like they’d enjoy reading about syndicalism.

Leemurs provoke centipedes to make them excrete their defensive toxin, but then the lemurs just use that toxin to get high and repel mosquitos.

I once had a chemistry professor who would collect samples of like dirt and other things whenever he went to places remote enough where he figured other chemists hadn’t studied, because he thought you just never know when you’re going to run across a new compound.

Only people I know because I like knowing who’s left handed among my friends and family because it helps with things, seating areangements being one obvious example. Or so I don’t just hand them scissors they can’t use or something.

Ever seen a TSA agent run somewhere? Of course you haven’t. I’m sure it happens, like winning the lottery happens, but I haven’t had the opportunity to witness either of those things happen.

If you’re a man, put on a wedding ring and go out to the bar and see for yourself. This may work if you’re a woman too but I can not claim to have done the research on that one.

Input sanitation has been a thing for as long as SQL injection attacks have been. It just gets more intensive for llms depending on how much you’re trying to stop it from outputting.

I only kill animals so vegans can keep making memes. Fuck they’re tasty though.

For my friends that are curious I make sure to take them shooting because I know I’m capable of teaching proper safety and maintaining as safe an environment you can for that, and, like you alluded to, if there’s a gun behind every blade of grass, you really should understand how they work and what their limits are or you risk not having enough information to make good decisions in situations with firearms present. Like imagine trying to cross a road if you had no idea how cars worked at all. Universal education around guns alone would save lives even with no other changes.

If the second amendment is a right then imo education should be the states responsibility and financial burden. In an ideal world anyway. However removing free education materials without anything like that in it’s place isn’t going to make anyone safer.

And now many people won’t learn it at all. But here’s the secret, those people will still get guns, their parents still have guns and don’t give a fuck about safety. Now they have no choice but to learn from their parents. This is not the win you think it is.

This is comparable to abstinence only education. Ignoring teaching how to safely handle yourself because it goes over ‘scary’ topics has never made us safer.

I don’t think some people know how much damage a pack of wild hogs can cause to crops and farmland in short order. If it wasn’t going to be an AR-15 keeping them off the farm it would be another intermediate or higher caliber semi-automatic rifle that accepts standard magazines. Everyone want’s to laugh at that excuse until the farmer has a bad season and has to sell his land to Bill Gates or Chinese investors, they don’t exactly make large margins.
