The next cheapest melodic instrument would be a 6 hole flute, but that takes a bit of practice just to make a noise. Recorders make noise for anyone that can breath. It’s the wood sticks of instruments, anyone can use them, most will learn some tiny amount about music, and a very tiny number will learn actual musical skills.
There’s lots of valid ways to argue in favor of Veganism. Dismissing detractors as uninformed is not one of them.
Especially when that point can be completely destroyed with one word. Bacon.
I don’t need to argue that it’s healthier, it’s not. I don’t need to argue against any alternatives, there are none worthy of the name. If I have to I could point out that for every recipe with an alternative version that includes bacon, the bacon version is more popular. So empirically, bacon makes everything better, and there is no substitute that beats it.
If you’re going to make an argument for veganism, do it from a basis of facts. It’s healthier, better for you, better for the planet, and it’s most likely better for your local economy as well. And then you throw on top that it stops the unethical treatment of living creatures.
That’s what you sell veganism with.
Standard idiom of comedy, always punch up, never punch down.
In other words, always speak truth to power, never kick someone that’s down.
Anyone making a bio weapon would go after a virus or fungus. Easier to cultivate, dispurse, and work with. Something that’s contagious and self replicating makes it much easier to hide the initial infection point.
Give me a Kis…Hu…Hand sha…you know what, text me.
I mean, it’s really both. Hamas is batshit crazy, they’re just far less militarily powerful.
There are no good guys in the Israel Palestine fight.
It’s been a thing for a long time, probably hasn’t been used more because masks are easier. It’s so rare though that it makes you stand out as being one of the only people using it. Which really defeats the purpose.
Fascism always needs an enemy. If they don’t have one, they’ll make one.
Might makes right is the whole of the law.
That’s basically all it is. Rhinoviruses don’t hang with zinc. The vitamin C is probably just to keep you from gagging on the taste.
It’s the quickest way to tell if it’s a cold or some other flu. If Zycam works, it’s some variant of a rhinovirus, and it’ll be dead in a couple days. If it doesn’t work, you’ve made some other viral friend. The other cold like strains don’t seem to give a shit about zinc, so if it’s not immediately obvious it’s working within about 30 minutes, move on to other remedies. If it is working, don’t over do it, you can fuck up your sinuses with too much zinc.
People still get a cold? I haven’t seen one since zicam became a thing. Lots of flu variations fucking people up though.
When I was doing sales, every 2 weeks. Now that I don’t ever see a client, I buzz cut once a year. Might go 2 years this time so I can be a proper Gandalf for Halloween.
My mother in law gets by just fine without hers. But then again, she’s in Arkansas, so I’m not sure if that counts as a modern, or developed country.
There are fanatics in Russia. Enough to end the world? Maybe, are those dice you really want to roll with a moron in charge of the US?
My family doctor made a house call in 1978, that’s the last time I heard of it happening. Though he probably continued until he retired in the early 80s.
Tell him trim that, and you’ll get more blowjobs. It’ll get done.
Toronto is more bound to US economics than Chinese economics. You could make the same map for every major city and probably tell which they were more influenced by.
All I know is that I’m seriously disappointed to be the smartest person in a room on a regular basis.
I mean sure, if you want to make up your own meaning for right wing, then go for it.
What kind of weirdo doesn’t like celery? Next you’re going to tell me rhubarb is too tart, or you have to cook fennel.
