I’m not sure what you mean. If I die of thirst in the desert or cold in the far north, the cactus and conifer will continue living happily without my interference.

You should go out at night and shine a flashlight across lawn surface. The spider eyes are like stars.

If the plants are native, the environment isn’t hostile.

I don’t know how anyone could read Moby Dick and not come away convinced of their obvious fishness. Surely one’s nature and behavior are more important than one’s reproductive organs.

Perhaps he feels the original logo depicted a white cishet male, and thus the new one is erasure.

It’s been put forth that we should have other kinds of censor tags on Lemmy, but NSFW is currently the only one supported. It’s been used here and on other sites for disturbing imagery of murders, spiders for arachnophobes, etc. Even without that, a text tag of [animal abuse] facilitates the use of client-side content filters.

Do I need to look at images of dead Palestinian kids too? Does wanting to go about my day in a measure of peace mean I don’t really care?

I’m literally eating vegan nuggets right now, but thanks for being an ass.

Can images of animal abuse please be labeled as such and get a NSFW blur please?

The rat is safe in that it can’t hurt itself or others, but they feel the same about this kind of confinement as humans do. I guess whether that counts as humane is a matter of opinion.

Does either of those cause/prevent actual starvation feelings, like headaches and fatigue? Do they influence your non-exercise activity thermogenesis? (ie, feeling like you need to sit while you wait for the bus instead of standing or pacing) Or is it just a vague munchiness?

Yeah, I really don’t care for the blanket demonization of a plant family which is an important part of many ecosystems. Grasses are so much more than suburban lawns.

There’s a fish/eel critter that lives that way inside sea cucumbers.

The fanfic that tried to apply logic to JKR’s writing lead to an actual, real life murder.

What do you mean?

It may actually be part of the depression. We don’t know that anyone hates him, just that he believes they do.

Something I pretty much never see pointed out is that we don’t need billions of humans. Our governments keep encouraging us to have children, but they should be working to end the culture of pressuring people (especially women) into having children because they’re somehow incomplete without them. There should be more programs offering access to birth control and family counseling services. This endless and meaningless growth is as harmful to us as it is to the rest of our planet.

I believe pets are counted as livestock, but it’s not specifically referenced as far as I have the interest to read.

But what if she had four wheels?

No. What is or isn’t a vegetable is determined entirely by whether we collectively consider any given plant or plant part a food item.
