Compared to vegetables/grain, meat(especially beef) is a lot harder to produce/less sustainable; you have to take care of livestock for multiple years, you have to have a proper butchery, you have to deal with processing tons and tons of waste, and so on.

But in America, cows are a staple of diet: steaks and hamburgers are considered an American delicacy, despite the fact neither really had its origin in America. Compare that to other countries: their staple diet is far less concerned with beef, and lot more with grain and vegetables, or more sustainable meats like chicken.

So, in order to maximize profits, beef lobbies/companies have influenced American culture to associate themselves with beef: those who eat beef are strong, intelligent, capable individuals who are caring, while vegans are raging critics who hate everything, but still secretly like beef.

In the UK, when you transfer vehicle ownership you can't transfer the road tax, and so you get a refund of the road tax for the rest of the year as the new owner is responsible for taxing the vehicle.

They *only* send you the refund by cheque. This is so bizarre to me in the modern day that I think it is because people are not going to remember to cash a cheque, especially when it's often for only around £20. Lots of high street banks are closing their stores and people are having to travel further to get to their branch, making it increasingly difficult to cash cheques.

I have not looked up if there is a real reason for this, but I know it took me 6 months to get round to cashing in a cheque for £21 because it was never worth the effort of driving to my closest city to do it. I only did cash it because if this conspiracy theory is correct, I wanted to prove to the dvla it wouldn't work on me.

Please count the number of times you went to a zoo, saw a wolf enclosure but no animal in sight (not in SEA, you dont care about animal wellbeing and would throw them in a concrete cage). I had no problem pointing out half of the zoos I ever been to.

Nobody would notice if the enclosure was actually empty and costs would be cut by 95% for this specific enclosure.

Amazon Executives soft sabotaged The Boys after season 3 because too many people were making jokes and comparisons between Vought and Amazon, and not in a "corporate fun meme relatable way" that brands tend to do when there's a viral meme.

I think you can also see this in the changes in story logic and characters acting out of character. Amazon didn't want to kill the goose, but they wanted to make it less Amazon brand associated.

This is why we see a larger focus on Supe's shenanigans in a Hollywood allegory, or a religious or shady government or trump-esque(political in general ?) caricature and less of the faceless, massive, do-anything-for-profit corporation being relevant to the narrative.

TLDR: season 5 cope.

How many times have you missed a bus or been late for work for the sake of matching socks? How often have you had a sense of anxiety or shame over leaving the house unless paired up, or wondered how your boss or grandparents would react if they knew yours weren't?

It is an utterly worthless requirement that exists solely to discriminate and ridicule. It is a stigma designed by the ruling classes to keep you oppressed under this one of many arbitrary standards. Insidious, meaningless rules created only so people can be denigrated for breaking them. An unnecessary snagging point on the fabric of society. To keep us down. To keep us burdened. To keep us failing. We are meant to fail, never succeed.

Throw off your chains and wear unmatched socks! And rest your elbows on the dinner table! We take back what was stolen from us!

honestly convinced that the "select all squares with a bus" tests are completely rigged now.

I just spent like three full minutes clicking slowly fading pictures of traffic lights just to log into a basic forum. every time I got it right it just faded into a blurrier motorcycle. My theory is they aren't even using this to train self driving cars anymore. they just want to psychologically break us

the legacy tech companies are making the traditional web so insanely annoying to navigate as a real person that we're gonna happily embrace new verification methods just to end the suffering. like when u see newer systems like world building out actual open networks to verify humanness, it starts looking less like a futuristic concept and more like a necessary escape hatch.

at this point im completely bought in. i will gladly use a secure identity protocol if it means I never have to squint at a pixelated crosswalk while a robot judges me ever again. it’s weaponized inconvenience plain and simple.

Nothing separates Europe from Asia in terms of physical features

Europeans argue that europe's vastly different culture is what separates it from Asia, but the Middle East, North, East, South-east, and South Asia also have vastly different cultures.

In terms of tectonic plates, the Indian plate is separate from Asia's, does that mean South Asia is a different continent?

Is it just white = superior?

Can't reply to certain comments for some reason:

1. The above statement wasn't meant to be racist I was asking if that's the mentality many roll with when discussing this
2. Ural mountains???? What are you talking about bro how can it separate two CONTINENTS
3. I won't endlessly argue - I'm seeking a satisfactory answer not a "battle of wits"

We all see Karma farming bots, and people always say they are for the accounts to be sold to people. Well... It's a known fact that world governments do in fact use and create memes for communication. Darpa is known to have worked on this, as well as many other organizations.

Things could be anything from encrypted messages inside the image itself for communication or for gathering Intel on people online and their opinions.

These "bots" are actually hyper classified communications

most TV and radio stations around the world have a pre recording announcing the death of certain famous people with an obituary segment on them. they update them from time to time.

the uk nes is full of news about it. free advertising for a "mistake".

I think the president spray paints himself orange to boost engagement.

There's no way that guy is actually that orange I've never seen somebody that orange
