Not quite identical, but there are some that are close
Baby Big Whoop? Damn there’s a whole product line now?
And yet many can be up in arms about dogs & cats being eaten in some regions despite that claim
Serious in that they should stand up for non-human animals, but in the kind of way where you also know the answer as to why 99% aren’t
Is this implying you know for certain that human babies aren’t? Maybe we should be a little concerned how you figured that one out
3·30 days agoAnd note it doesn’t say additional troops nor note how many are already there
I’m not sure how many are currently there but they’ve previously had higher numbers. Like in 2019 they sent 15k
That’s missing what I’m saying
They’re giving Trump’s spin in reporting inadvertently or not
They’re not providing context for how much of a change (or not) Mexico actually is making
The only source in this article is Trump saying this is what happened. Don’t trust what Trump is saying directly. He’s already previously mislead to make it seem like other countries caved when they really did almost nothing
The good news is that some progress has been made in the US. The semi-recent (2022) FDA modernization act 2.0 removes mandates for animal testing in law and allows other testing methods to be used instead
There’s another bill (FDA modernization act 3.0) that was just reintroduced a few days ago to not just allow the FDA to use non-animal testing, but to require that the FDA start actually working to allow it and setup pathways, rules, requirements, etc. And prioritize the review of drugs done via approved non-animal testing
It includes various reporting, safety, etc. requirements laid out so it wouldn’t just be handing it blindly to the current admin
The 2.0 act was suprisingly bipartisan, so it’s not a given that the 3.0 act would be doomed. Call your house representative and senators to make sure it gets through!
But but it worked on my machine
In 2004, the FDA estimated that 92 percent of drugs that pass preclinical tests, including “pivotal” animal tests, fail to proceed to the market.More recent analysis suggests that, despite efforts to improve the predictability of animal testing, the failure rate has actually increased and is now closer to 96 percent
We’ve solved ethics. Pack it up everyone
Not completely true, unfortunately. I’ve seen my fair share of them on here before
Some lemmy communities have also done so too
People are pointing out is that at conception there is only one cell, the fertilized egg / zygote. So everyone would have only the “large reproductive cell” (the egg). It’s honestly so poorly written that you could also argue it’s saying everyone’s bigender too
But as an aside, it’s actually not even true that XY guarantees someone will be assigned male at birth.People with Swyer syndrome present AFAB or intersex while having XY chromosomes
The opposite is true for people with de la Chapelle syndrome where they have XX chromosomes and present AMAB / intersex.
Many people with either of those never know they have XY or XX . There’s also way more possibilities than just XX and XY. You can have XXY, XXYY, just X, and more
2·2 months agoElections are not run federally, they are run by each state which makes it harder for Republicans to be as aggressive as they’d like to be
Mind you they lost a US house seat this cycle even with Trump winning. They have just a 3 seat majority. They would need a gain of +70 seats in the house in a midterm environment to get to 2/3
On the senate side, Republicans would need to pick up 12(!) seats to get 2/3. In the 2026 map, that’s extraordinarily difficult and would require winning extremely deep blue seats. 66 senators is a lot. They would have to win literally every single senate seat up for election in 2026
Assuming they win all the solid red + lean red seats, they would need to defend both senators in North Carolina and Maine to keep 53. Then they’d have to flip the tossups of Michigan and Georgia to get to 55. Then the lean blue Minnesota senate seat to get to 56.
Then the very likely blue seats of New Mexico, Virginia, Colorado, and New Hampshire to get to 60. Then to get to 66, they would need to win the safe blue states of Oregon, Illinois, New Jersey, Delaware, Connecticut, and Rhode Island to get 66
Midterms are usually very unfavorable to the party in power. Even with more stringent voter laws, that would be a tall ask. Flipping safe blue senate senates where dems have state and local control would be insane
And you’d have to flip a large number of state legislature in deep blue states too
Would be difficult for him to do so via any legal means. Each individual States run elections. They are not federally run, even for federal offices per the US constitution
Election days are similarly set by the US constitution
The bar to change that is quite high with 2/3 of congress + 3/4 of state legislatures to ratify. And while Supreme Court is insane, they did recently ruled 6-3 against the insane independent state legislature theory (which would have meant even state courts could not rule on anything election related) which is related to the exact piece of the constitution
Plus 3/4 of state legislatures to ratify which would be another high bar
There’s a reason why there’s so few constitutional amendments
The article was using beef and lamb as an example. It holds across much more than those
Plant-based protein sources – tofu, beans, peas and nuts – have the lowest carbon footprint. This is certainly true when you compare average emissions. But it’s still true when you compare the extremes: there’s not much overlap in emissions between the worst producers of plant proteins, and the best producers of meat and dairy.
If you want a lower-carbon diet, eating less meat is nearly always better than eating the most sustainable meat.
It’s worth noting the deal also specifically increases taxes for animal agriculture above a certain size/emission threshold
For farmland type, they are specifying low-lying soils as primary targets. Low lying soil specifically because reforestation/rewilding can have higher impact
Another important thing to note is that a large amount of farmland is used for feedcrop production in general around the world. For instance, around 90% of Denmark’s cereal crop production goes to animal feed
Do not eat goat
Goats themselves strong
Leave goat to be strong
