  • No they werent on to something because the rationale given doesnt line up with any legit reason to not eat pork. So at best they just were exercising an abundance of caution without understanding why. Pork needs like any meat to be prepared properly for consumption. If its a food they werent very knowledgeable on they wouldnt know how to prepare it safely. So instead of learning how they just banned it.

    Now if you want to make an argument for not eating pork with modern knowledge you can. Pigs are extremely smart and even more so than dogs and some studies suggest chimps. So theres the moral argument not to eat it. But that isn’t very convincing to me for pork. All animals are pretty smart and clearly have feelings and emotions and i eat them so why single out pigs to be nice to? I would like to see a transition to lab grown meats eventually, and for farms to treat animals humanely. Its not a very high priority for me on reforming society tho since we dont even treat eachother humanely yet.

    Also to get in front of it before someone says “just be vegan/vegetarian then”. I was for like 10 years and eventually had to stop because due to health related dietary restrictions i couldn’t eat enough foods to get all the nutrients i needed. I have allergies and intolerances that if i were to stop eating animal products i wouldnt be able to eat the plant based alternatives that give the same type of nutrients. So i dont have a choice but to eat animals.



  • As far as im aware the native Hawaiians actually request tourists not to go because the island is being destroyed by tourism. Its getting so expensive from tourism natives have to leave. So id go somewhere else. Honestly Florida and Hawaii are both very over-done tourist wise imo. If i were you id consider just getting passports now if you dont have them yet and go somewhere in Mexico. Youll save money and probably have a better experience. Another option if you want like a warm American city on the beach is San Diego California, or somewhere along the gulf coast of southern texas like Corpus Christi.




  • Honestly i do not think your gonna like doing this. If you whole thing is having a tablet with its battery life etc then de-googled android is probably gonna be better for you. Android is based on linux anyway and custom ROMs exist to give you a more privacy focused and in your control OS. Like Graphene OS for example.

    If you want linux and a tablet id instead recommend a really slim thin and light 2 in 1. Maybe with detachable keyboard. These are typically made with x86 Chips instead of ARM tho so the battery life wont be as good.




  • i think much more likely is the opposite happened. Europeans inbred themselves into infirmity and have simply yet to recover from all that nonsense fully hundreds of years later. As a pastey removed myself i can say the amount of genetic conditions i have is mind boggling. Its not that POC are especially good at sports its that white people are especially bad.




  • Sounds like your pretty down right now and if your posting about it here im guessing maybe you dont have anyone your comfortable talking to about it. Would you want to add me on matrix or something and just chat? You can talk about whats going on and see if i can give any advice or we can just chat about whatever. I am also in my 20s and pretty broke so i know the struggle and know how isolating it can be. Especially when its not like youve got money to go do anything social.


  • DEI is just a dogwhistle for homophobia and racism. The issue with the Trump voters is he courts lots of just like pissed off poor white people and he redirects their anger at liberal elites towards immigrants, trans people, gay people, POC, etc.

    If the economy wasn’t set up in such a way that these people are so poor theyd be less likely to buy into all that nonsense. Happy people dont join cults generally. Its the desperate and angry that join movements like that and then get radicalized to the right.

    But ya i mean the whole degree or no degree is really just a “did you have 25 grand to get this piece of paper with at 18?” signifier. Its a class designator. Just like how in ancient times higher classes wore different colored clothes and whatnot.

    Like for example take a retail worker vs someone at head office. The retail worker makes dirext contributions to tons of sales and if theyre gone for 1 hour shit starts to fall apart. Yet they make minimim wage usually.

    The one at head office has pointless meeting all day, and if they stop working for an hour no one notices. Yet they make significantly more money.

    The money made by a job isnt based on the value of the work in companies like this its based on the class of worker that applies for said job.

    Now outside of large companies this isnt always the case as you can have trades, and sole proprietorships, etc. But those are some rare exceptions.

    In general they place “high class” or “middle class” jobs behind a degree requirement even if the job isnt really very hard and a highschool education would be fine to do it.

    Even highschool’s in the US are classed. Since they’re largely funded by property taxes high property values means better schools. And we have different curriculum in different schools too. There are highschools in rich areas which emphasize thinking outside the box, social skills, etc then in poor areas its more do as your told, heavy punishment rates, keeping people in line. This plays into the school to prison pipeline too. Prison is the lowest class in America as it is used for slave labor.

    Americas classes are generally like this:

    Capitalists: The ones who own everything billionaires 100+ millionaires etc

    High class: some politicians, CEOs, people who typically act as a proxy and serve the will of a capitalist. Altho some capitalists choose to do these jobs themselves.

    Upper middle class: People making significant money living very comfortably but who arent filthy rich. These are typically your highly skilled professional types. Doctors, Lawyers, etc.

    Middle class: This is a very mixed bag but one of the main jobs of the middle class is to manage the lower classes. So its common for them to fill managerial roles.

    Lower class: your poor workers who do whatever job they can to make ends meet.

    Prison Labor: The millions of people in Americas prisons who do hard manual labor for pennies as a slave workforce. Usually in prison for some stupid bullshit that shouldn’t be illegal or shouldn’t have such a harsh sentence.

    There are lots of signifiers to let people know what class you are that are baked into the system. Money being an obvious one, but degrees, criminal records, the way you dress, car you drive, phone you have, etc all play into it. And people subconsciously take note of it all the time. I personally find it to be an inhumane and gross system so i dont try to participate in it.
