Who says I can’t be depressed about both? I can even be depressed about the present for a trifecta.

You could do both, being curled up on the sofa with a sandwich and make the world a little better, by reducing your meat consumption. There are very nice vegetarian/vegan sandwich options.

Even the snails are Illuminati now! /s

Sir, this is a Wendy’s

Just waiting for the definitive edition to release 🤞

the human population is very much reliant on animal sources to sustain itself

Do you have a source for that? What % of the global meat consumption is actually necessary and what is just for pleasure? And don’t get me started on food waste…

what is required to continue existing as a species

Do you mean scale up as a species? We’ve existed for how many thousands of years in a sustainable way?

the distinctive categories of pets and livestock are an unfortunate requirement of our current situation

A requirement for what? You said we need animals to sustain ourselves. What do we need the distinction of pets for?

People who treat pets animals as property are not good people.

FTFY

Do you want some eggs? I got news for you! You can literally build a chicken shed right now, no need to wait for farmers.

Seriously, the same captain obvious answer all the time when a Steam console is mentioned. It’s infuriating. Consoles exist for a reason, to provide a ready and verified environment for playing games without any fiddling.

I did exactly what you did. And lo and behold my mom is now using Signal to message me.
