  • What's your harmless/low-stakes conspiracy theory?

  • So few cattle rely on by grass tho

  • 200 arrested, one dead in chaos at California cannabis farm immigration raid

  • In the posted article? My link is embedded in the original article, I didn’t add it

    In a Friday statement, officials said that 10 children without documentation were identified during the two immigration operations in Camarillo and Carpinteria, Calif., at farms owned and operated by the Glass House Brands Inc.

    Customs and Border Patrol commissioner Rodney Scott said on Thursday that the company is now under investigation for child labor violations.

    Glass House, in response, stated it never intentionally hired underage workers.

  • “US citizen workers report only being released after they were forced to delete photos and videos of the raid from their phones,” the union said.

    Oof. Also, it’s a little sketchy that they had kids working but I’m sure nobody will be held accountable for that part

  • Democrats stay at a respectful distance after Mamdani cruises

  • There’s also 1 million more people than in 1989 and (I think?) a larger portion of NYCers are registered dems now. So that’s not actually that good. We should break turnout records every year if our population grows.

  • Can anyone recommend an extraordinarily comfortable reclining couch, in a mid-range price. It doesn't have to last me a lifetime but if I could get 10 years out of it, I think that would be fine

    Jump

  • IKEA is hit or miss with couches but if you’re set on reclining, I’m not sure they have any good ones. The Kallax is solid for a mid-range option if you don’t want reclining though.

    How do we feel about Lemmy communities that ban others based on a protected characteristics e.g. gender, sexuality, etc?

    Jump

  • Can you give a real life example of a community banning folks only for these identifiers and not their behavior?

  • Democrats want new leaders, focus on pocketbook issues, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds

    Jump

  • That’s just about the opposite point of the article but ok

  • Democrats want new leaders, focus on pocketbook issues, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds

    Jump

  • Democrats want new leaders for their party, which many feel isn't focusing enough on economic issues and is over-emphasizing issues like transgender rights and electric vehicles, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.

  • What do you think are the worst carbon causing human activities? What do you think are the most beneficial activities to counter carbon output?

    Jump

  • They get it from synthetic fertilizer? You think it comes from cattle lol?

    Dude, you cut a cow and you need WAAAAAY less land and fertilizer than if you feed that cow.

    And yes, not all land for cattle feed can be used for human crops, but even if we had zero beef, we’d have enough land to support human crops.

    I honestly think you’re trolling now because you’re not only denying reality and making up absurd claims, but you’re ignoring my points and not responding to them lol.

    Is synthetic fertilizer bad for the environment? Sure, but we need a hell of a lot less when we decrease beef production. If you add more cattle for natural manure fertilizers, you need more land to grow their feed. This is a self-perpetuating cycle.

  • What do you think are the worst carbon causing human activities? What do you think are the most beneficial activities to counter carbon output?

    Jump

  • Also, for the record, not every inch of land categorized as grazable is not able to support cattle (arid, bad soil fertility, mountains and other terrain issues, etc.). When I said we couldn’t meet current demand, that assumes those were non-issues.

  • What do you think are the worst carbon causing human activities? What do you think are the most beneficial activities to counter carbon output?

    Jump

  • Sure bud. Sure. Just make all the cattle free range and we solve every problem in the world.

    Now we just have to subsidize beef even more than we already do so that people can afford their free range beef. God forbid they eat another form of protein that’s sustainable and environmentally friendly.

    There’s reality and then there’s your hypotheticals. I’ll continue to discuss reality but not absurd hypotheticals like “let’s just change 95% of our beef production”.

    And for the record, 5x is a vast overstatement. It’s closer to 2-3x. Still not plausible. Even if every single inch of grazable land on the planet were filled with cattle (and no other animal), we could not fill current beef demands. And that’s a demand that will grow very rapidly in the coming decades.

  • What do you think are the worst carbon causing human activities? What do you think are the most beneficial activities to counter carbon output?

    Jump

  • And about 30 seconds on google shows that’s less than 3% of beef production. That’s why deforestation is so rapid.

    If we shifted all of our cattle to grazers, we’d have less than 1/3rd of our current beef production due to land constraints.

  • What do you even do at a gym?

  • Obligatory “not vegan” but it’s hilarious to me when people ignore this.

    Why do you think we cut down trees? Yes, more farmland. Farmland for what? To feed the cattle lol

  • Even just the full set of free weights at a gym is the price of an annual membership (more than some discount gyms), let alone the expensive machines.
