  • Because people don’t want to change the lifestyle to which they have become accustomed. People who like meat, like meat.

    Doing a meat-free Friday is probably a good start, but everyone’s already being asked to make sacrifices in their lives to just get by and most people are already stressed out. Taking away even more of what they enjoy takes its toll. And then of course there’s the meat industry and their lobbying power.

    Honestly we just need to start desalinating. These droughts are just going to continue and may even get worse. Freshwater is going to start getting very expensive and it will start getting baked into the price of things like meat. At least with fruits and veggies there’s indoor farming that can cut down on water usage.

    .gov (.gov.us) is used in the US to distinguish between commercial sites and sites run by state, federal, and local government institutions. It helps cut down on fraud. There are a few fucked up government sites in some states that use.com because ICANN isn’t doing their fucking job.

    There’s also .mil for military sites. And .net for internet service providers. These were the original oldie domains. I’m not opppsed to adding .blog to the list, but I despise all of these confusing random cash grab domains that ICANN approves these days. “.social” is really just an org, and “.biz” is really just a com.
