Culture shock
  • This is obviously something you saw on Reddit and didn't bother fact checking.
    If you buy from any producer of chicken, there is no such thing as cage free. All the chickens get transported to the slaughterhouse in cages. That being said, conventional chickens are not stuck in cages. Maybe some mom and pop shops do this? Not the major producers, the sheer amount of cages needed would be profit prohibitive. They're raised in a chicken house but they are packed in side by side. USDA defines free range as 2sqft per chicken. A chicken is give or take 30x smaller than a human so equivalent is if you grew up with a 60sqft personal bubble. Pasture raised is 108aqft per chicken, but the thing to remember is chickens are a family pack animal, so even if they have all the space in the world they won't use it. They'll stay near their home.

    Chickens are essentially a brainless animal and their body can continue to function without a head. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_the_Headless_Chicken

    Also the species of chicken has a significant impact on quality of life and taste. I don't know if there is any actual data but modern broilers cannot live long just due to their genetic breed. They're a generic breed that grows super fast and has health issues as they age.

    Chickens don't live a great live in any production arena, but the worst is the transport and the slaughter which doesn't change regardless of their free range designation. If it's really something that bothers you, the only real solution is just to stop eating chicken products.

  • 'The Acolyte' Canceled: Disney's Star Wars Spinoff Done After One Season
  • Lol - yes you're right but you're wrong, oh so wrong

    There's countless amount of lore around light saber colors. Why Sith sabers are red, why Ahsoka's are white, why Rey's is yellow, why Mace's is purple. Then there's many instances where they intentionally used a wrong color as symbolism like in Luke's final projection scene.

  • I don't even feel like it was that 'woke'. But it was that bad. Bad wiring, bad acting, worse storyline. The only good thing was the choreography of a couple of the fight scenes except that they mostly made no sense. Not even Darth Vader cut through so many Jedi like butter but this random guy that 'i believe you would refer to me as sith' does with ease. I really think she was determined to ruin the originals. Basically she took everything that was cool and good and did it worse.

    It's like the scene in Talladega nights where Cal is telling Gerrard the things that America created.

    All woman witches with a connection to the dark side - Dathomir.

    Children created by a vergence in the force - Anakin.

    Force choke - Vader (this one made me sad).

    Purple light saber - Windu.

    Multi piece red light saber - Maul.

    PIP - fallout.

    Then there's just totally random things that are dumb: Regular Jedi having yellow lightsabers. The stones used in yellow lightsabers were used for the guardians of the temple. Kyber crystals make blue or green and that's why they are that color in the originals.

    It was loosely implied that there was another Sith, maybe plagiues, implying that Qimir was his apprenrice making him be actively searching for his own apprentice ignoring the rule of 2.

    Mace Windu says there hadn't been Sith in a millennium and the generally accepted context is that they've always existed they just hide from the Jedi. Now you a clear story of sith killing Jedi only 100 years prior.

    Anissya tells the Jedi to make a perimeter but then they just all ignore that order and all go to the same place?

    The only way you could execute a show this poorly is on purpose. Which I think is true, I think she wanted people to reference her show for the fun cool stuff because it's more fresh on their minds.

  • They called an "emergency meeting" this week to solve the mystery
  • I don't know if it's everywhere, but they got rid of the tortilla wraps and now you get a flat bread rolled up. I used to go all the time for wraps when I was traveling through small towns. At least at Subway you know what you're getting in a town of 500 people. Now that they got rid of the wraps, my business is done.

  • Firefox + Ublock = 👑
  • There's was only a very brief period that I would have considered Chrome a better option and that was the period when Chrome had a mobile app and FF didn't. Other than that, I have never understood why you would use chrome. I know FF didn't invent tab browsing, but definitely the first to do it successfully.

  • You either need to really do more research on topics before you make uninformed comments or just don't comment on things you don't know.

    Mississippi the lowest paid elementary school teachers on average and it's $48k. If you went to school for $25k then you'd only have a $250 monthly payment for 10 years. Teachers should make more, but you make good decisions you could definitely live okay.

  • Mom didn't go to school
  • It wasn't even about states rights, not really. If you read the SC declaration of succession, they talk extensively about the states rights to succeed legally and why in the first 13 paragraphs, then in the 14th they start the explanation of why they are succeeding. It's about the northern states not returning fugitive slaves, as was the law at the time, and the government doing anything to enforce the Constitution. Then in paragraph 22 they discuss the election of Lincoln and his open opposition to slavery and they were worried about losing the right to have slaves.

    Basically, if the government isn't strong enough or willingly to enforce its own constitution, then they didn't need to be a part of that government and they had the right to denounce that government the same way they had done with the British government during the revolution.

  • See this is the problem, you're entirely missing the point. You don't have to go to Harvard to be an elementary school teacher. Harvard on average $228k for 4 years Bridgewater State $44k for 4 years. Only 35 miles apart.

    This person chose to take out somewhere on the realm of $90k worth of student loans for a career that makes less than $50k per year.

    I don't know anything about it, but we an example out of state tuition at Fayetteville State University is less than $25k for 4 years.

    There are options and choices but people would rather take the easy way and blame someone else.

    I agree college prices are out of control, but right now you have to work within the constraints available.

  • Your comment is the biggest problem we have right now. There's no, just paying a little more on taxes to get free healthcare. It's estimated that currently it would be $3-4 trillion a year for universal healthcare. The total taxable income the US made was ~$4.4 trillion. 41.5% of that is individual taxes. If everyone paid 10% more that would only be $182B. You haven't even scratched the surface of the cost. Adding universal health care is far more complicated than just everyone paying a little more in taxes.

  • Maybe you should have had some forward looking into what a career would pay before investing that much into college. Hell I made more than that in my entry level job more than 15 years ago.

  • Bidens release tax return that shows they made almost $620,000 in 2023
  • Effective tax rate of 23.64%. He's very nearly in the 1% as far as yearly wages go, probably is when you calculate his total net worth. He paid $146k in taxes, more than some people will pay in their whole lifetime.
