Vegan for the animals

@RRCASOU @NatureUnedited Most likely not a shelter and instead was a boarding facility where you pay them to keep and take care of your pet for a time.

@CANlNEBLOOD Oh well in that case I'm glad he's dead

[Puppies 🐶 @Puppieslover]

He loves watermelon, so his human gifted him one whole watermelon as a "toy." He has now achieved peak canine happiness and all stuffed toys officially obsolete… would play a melon 🍈 fetch with him

@matthewbaszucki Being that there is very little data indicating any benefit in the context of mental health, how do you determine that people need this "treatment" specifically?

[Blake @DLither35237]

@normalishvegan @BWConnector @homosexualmouse It's not about "Pattie Gonia" being a "character" but about the branded merch that resembles Patagonia merch.

In any event, we'll see how the lawsuit plays out.

[Blake @DLither35237]

@normalishvegan @BWConnector @homosexualmouse So how do we know those lawsuits wouldn't have been effective of they didn't sue? Maybe they would have been.

[Blake @DLither35237]

@normalishvegan @BWConnector @homosexualmouse Sure they can. They can say "pay us money and you can continue with your current branding otherwise we'll continue to sue" and draft up a contract to that effect. Just because it isn't exactly a "licensing fee" doesn't mean you couldn't contractually do that.

[Blake @DLither35237]

@normalishvegan @BWConnector @homosexualmouse In those examples, is it a case where those companies sued and failed or didn't sue at all?

[Blake @DLither35237]

@normalishvegan @BWConnector @homosexualmouse I mean they don't have to call it a "licensing agreement" they can just say "pay us a fee and we won't sue."

[Blake @DLither35237]

@normalishvegan @BWConnector @homosexualmouse You do realize it doesn't have to be the exact name for it to be considered copyright infringement? A "close enough" name with similar aesthetics can be considered infringement

@thorninthenorth @sibaburck Against abortion at which point in gestation? Fetuses are not sentient before roughly 24 weeks (citations below)

@sharintaint @PlexInphinity @Noahpinion This is a great argument for veganism!

[Blake @DLither35237]

@NancyMa16153771 @julen__n @AbakpaJob "Slaves would have NO LIFE AT ALL if we didn't use them for labor. As long as you treat your slaves well it's perfectly moral"

Replace "slaves" with "animals." You are using the same bad argument.

[Blake @DLither35237]

@KennyTorrella I think farming pigs in general is the mistake actually

[Blake @DLither35237]

@sgodofsk Could've just said "I have no good argument in defense of eating animals" instead of all that lmao

"Consciousness may emerge after thalamocortical networks form at 26 weeks gestation."

"It is widely believed that consciousness requires a thalamocortical structure, and this system develops at around 26 weeks of pregnancy, so it is unlikely that consciousness is present before that time."

"We can conclude that from a neuroanatomical point of view, it is rather unlikely that the infant can be seen as a conscious human before 24 weeks of gestational age, thus before all the thalamocortical connections are established."
