Pan fried this stuff was good, mixed in with a bunch of stuff in a rice cooker, just awful. Every other fake meat I've tried works fine for lazy rice cooker cooking, not this stuff.

Saw one waxing poetically about how good fracking is.

My favorite ads I've seen are ones that play videos about basic traffic laws.

"When you're out driving, remember, it's illegal to pass on a double yellow line! It's the law!"

Thing with the video, I already get it from alternative means even while paying for it because Amazon doesn't like to play in full quality on Linux.

I'm not going to renew my Amazon sub when it expires. I say it's for moral reasons but honestly it's cause they've made the search so incredibly awful.

I'll search for things with the exact product name, still end up having to scroll down a ways to find it.

I'll go back to buying direct from manufacturer websites.

Yeah, many plant based alternatives are cheaper than meat to produce, but it has become a thing that vegan alternatives are expensive so everyone raises the price to match.

I forgot the company but around 2015 there was one brand talking up about because of how cheap it was to make it would be a great thing to help with hunger levels in impoverished areas. Just really talking up how they were going to be cheaper than meat. Year later, priced up to match the rest of the brands.

It can be done, but it involves at minimum, monthly trips to the vet to make sure your cat is healthy, and if they're not healthy, you don't know until they are VERY unhealthy without the regular tests. So in general it is not a good idea. Keep a pet that naturally thrives on a vegan diet. Or wait till lab grown meat cat food is available if you really must have a tiny murder machine as a vegan.

You can feed cats a vegan diet and have them be healthy, but it is a pain in the ass to keep the cats healthy, something that most the owners do not do. They buy the food and feed their cats without doing the tests, and their cats suffer for it

You need to regularly test their urine ph levels about once every couple weeks in order to adjust their meals so they're getting the right nutrients. I've seen one owner, one, where their cat is fed a vegan diet and is healthy, and it looks like a nightmare of hassle to go through because without the tests you don't know something is wrong until it is VERY wrong. And once you get the right food figured out for your cats, you still need to take them to the vet once a month to get their urine tested because the nutrients they need can change. And yes, if you go through all of this on average your cat may be healthier than one on a typical meat diet, but you're still dealing with monthly visits to the vet to maintain that diet.

My solution to all of this as a vegan is to not have a meat earing pet. Parrots are amazing. They're smart, they don't constantly think about murder, they're social and fun and live a long time.

Or bunnies, they don't need as much socialization as parrots do to avoid going crazy.

Dogs don't need near as much work to live on a vegan diet cause they're carnivores that adapted to being omnivores to be around humans over a very long period of time.

Short Circuit and Flight of the Navigator. Had them both on one tape and I'd sit down and watch it all in one sitting.

Well, he'll have his money from Russia at least. I listened to his whole speech, the part about Ukraine is straight out of Russian state media talking points.

I'm a lesbian, Google has enough data on me to know I'm a lesbian, I live with women, don't really hang out with men at all. I use a bunch of Google services so I know Google knows this about my living situation.

SO MANY FUCKING ADS FOR MANSCAPED, WHHHYYYYY. I am not the target market for this Google.

I've taken to blocking the ads, still more Manscaped. Is it cause blocking = engagement? "Oh wow, she interacted with this ad to block it but ignored the others, what a good ad placement!"

I'll be honest, one of the parts I really like about the show Jet Lag is when they reccomend channels to watch at the end of the episode.
