What a place of absolute misery that must be.

Pigs check in, but they don't check out.

That's in Hong Kong, less so elsewhere.

Yeah, veganism is a moral baseline IMO. Nobody should be contributing to a system that causes this much suffering. It’s unfortunate, but animal agriculture is inherently animal abuse. If I wouldn’t want my dog to go through something, I don’t believe any animal should go through it.

Reducitarian. this is the way.

First of all Pigpen would make a cool biker name. Second, that kind of childhood usually only ends 1 of 2 ways.

1. He is sketchy as hell, lives in the woods and does taxidermy for fun.

2. He wanted to prove everyone wrong, makes tons of money, lives in a luxury condo, is a neat freak and donates to PETA

No way! Was he playing in bands? I’d totally nerd out if a buddy’s brother was in Nirvana AND Soundgarden

he is the guy playing the tele on the cover if anyone was wondering.

I went to high school with his brother Justin in Seattle.

he was in basic when his instructor opened a rolling stone (after Kurt had died and saw a photo of him) starting calling him rock star and shit after that

So like my name then...

Why aren't they making wagyu with it now to pay for research? No way that is more expensive from a lab.

I went to college in a town that had a slaughterhouse. The smell was overwhelming.

I won't, but by that time I doubt they'll let me choose.

>If one of you could put in a word for me, I'd love to be a freemason.

Probably like the FoxConn factory, but with less people killing themselves.

Well... that's the sort of blinkered, philistine pig-ignorance I've come to expect from you non-creative garbage...

(Someone, please get this reference.)

Lack of options, when they not so long ago demolished an entire ghost town of empty buildings.

Things are funky in the Middle Empire.

Sounds like one of the coolest nobody's who ever lived tbh

I honestly didn't keep up with him for long after high school. I know that he hated hog farming (he came from an old-fashioned family who considered kids to be free labor), so I doubt that he followed the family business, especially the way family farms have been bought up by corporate interests. I know that he enlisted in the Marines and spent some time in Japan but, after that, I don't really know. I hope he found himself a career and built a good life.

It's not like their lives are better elsewhere just because there are smaller buildings. In Canada, for example, the majority of breeding sows spend most of their lives in crates too small to turn around in. This isn't unique to Canada either.

You got me interested. What happened to Pigpen? Did he continue with his family occupation or did he go on to college and become rich?

>Workers will be required to go through multiple rounds of disinfection and testing before being given clearance to enter, and won’t be able to leave the site until their next break – reportedly once a week.

I went to high school with a kid whose family were hog farmers. Poor kid always smelled like pig shit. He was a nice and smart kid but, no matter how recently he showered, there was always a vague, earthy, shit-smell around him. He got teased and called "Pigpen" which, in fairness, was remarkably clever for high schoolers in the 90's.

You know what? I'm sorry. This is an incredibly stupid argument even for reddit, and I realize that I'm not willing to wade into it. You're right, thanks for the correction, whatever you want to hear.
