“Animal-based foods have been an important part of the human diet for at least three million years. Eliminating all animal foods would be like deciding you’re going to feed a tiger tofu and expect that it’s going to be healthy. If you want an organism to thrive, you should feed it the diet for which it’s been genetically adapted via evolution down through the ages.”

I just received a goanna through UPS last night.

Well yeah, being schizophrenic does not make you more likely to murder someone. It’s a huge misconception

Yes, because you're spreading abject bullshit after viewing a miniscule percentage.
By your irrational thought process, since I've seen animal rescues that neglect their animals, I must conclude that your mom abuses animals at hers as well.

No, you might be thinking of Skip Spence, who was also 'troubled'

Humans are omnivores. That means we need meat to survive.

Reply to TIL Drinking on St. Patrick's Day was largely frowned upon until the late 1970s. Restriction were lifted for Lent, but only for the Food part, not for the Drinking part. by EQ2_Tay
My favorite Irish drinking story:
I worked for a restaurant. Around 9 am the head manager gets there. An Irish manager then showed up a few minutes later, saying he was on schedule to open that day. Head manager told him "No, I did the schedule, you're off today..."
Irish manager goes home. Couple of hours later, head manager checks schedule to see who's closing and sees that he is supposed to close and the Irish manager was supposed to open.
Now head manager has to open and close. He calls Irish manager and asks him if he can come in and close that night.
Irish manager: "Dude, I'm Irish. It's 12 noon on my day off. I'm already hammered!"
;). God love em.

And then people realized it was more fun to drink green beer than drink no beer at all.

This is why San Diego lost the Chargers. SD voted on whether or not use tax money to re-do the stadium. They voted no. So the Chargers moved to LA.

i doubt they are rigged. but too many games are decided by a referee's interpretation of a rule. too many reviews. it happens in the playoffs, too. it just cheapens the game. close games are almost always decided by a borderline flag.
there's just too much referee involvement in the game, IMO.
