A common fallacy I see is people believing that - given that animal agriculture is more resource intensive than plant agriculture - the optimal quantity of animal products is zero.
The problem with this is the law of supply. Marginal costs increase with quantity. At very low quantity, there might even be marginal benefits (oysters, mussels, culling of excess herbivore populations, honeybees, regenerative cattle herding etc).

@mattblaze@federate.social doesn't Congress get to determine that though for the purpose of impeachment? If Congress did impeach and remove the President for blasphemy, does the President have any recourse to defend his position on a constitutional basis?
The end of the presumption of regularity is so long overdue but also so welcome. I know that part of why judges extended it for so long was because of the supreme court's shenanigans, and maybe they'll still get bitten later by Trump's pets telling them that they have to assume regularity no matter how absurd it is. It is refreshing to hear that judges will now assume by default ICE counsel is lying, though.
I don't believe for a second that Hegseth is responsible for the war. If he is that is evidence that the president lacks capacity.

@mattblaze@federate.social The tax implications might mean that this is a (minor) overall loss for soldiers since the benefit that was transferred to the "warrior dividend" was tax-exempt.

@Slyence conservatives are in the process of learning that the USA's relationship to NATO countries is one of interdependence, not dependency.
Going to be interesting to see how they react to that. For all their insistence that Europe shouldn't "free ride" off of US defense guarantees, they also seem to desperately want a world where they are so weak they cannot resist US pressure.
If it turns out that dependency on the US was always a fantasy, what now, GOP?
And another generation of us learns the definition of "haboob".

@mattblaze@federate.social What possible justification is there! Secrecy for combat? I'm sure no new law is needed. Secrecy for law enforcement? The military is not allowed to do that, constitutionally. Secrecy for research? The Air Force has half of Nevada to play with. Did the house republicans just go "any rule involving the military makes them less effective somehow!". Hopefully this doesn't become law.
The sloptroversy of Talarico's supposed veganism is upsetting not just because they could simply take Talarico at his word and observe him eating meat and dispel themselves of such a notion, but also because, if I remember correctly the bible literally implores people to accept vegan nonbelievers as part of their community. Talarico is neither but even if he was you were literally commanded not to ostracize him over that.

@mattblaze@federate.social Those people at least had the sense not to call it that brazenly. It was "enhanced interrogation". How far we've fallen.

@mattblaze@federate.social Is the nodal point where all the light converges before hitting the mirror/sensor on the other side as an inverted image? It's hard to describe with words what.

@jenbanim@mastodo.neoliber.al cryptocurrency is (unironically) a solution to this. That is in fact the very application proof of work was originally developed for.
