    Just recently replayed the No One Lives Forever series with my SO and it holds up so wildly well. Highly recommend, fun gameplay, low grind, excellent narrative storytelling. Slightly more grind for the second game, but still nothing like AAAs now.

    Jesus fucking you ARE THE PROBLEM.

    It’s not “no point in opposing polution because china would”

    It’s literally the same people and they are providing a service that YOU consume (whatever form lf food you eat, any shit you buy off amazon, the car you drive, the phone you use, etc…) all you have said is “it’s fine if you pollute as long as you do not do it in front of me” “it’s fine if you torture animals if it’s not in front of me”


  • It’s more the fact that this movement spends all its energy shutting down Fois Gras and Angora and has had ZERO impact on the wholesale slaughter of sentient beings across the meat industry except to shift a growing portion from farms in the US and Europe where there are some meager standards to farms in asia that have zero scruples and will torture without reserve to make an extra juan.

    Fucking useless caricature of activism. All your outrage would be more effectively spent on literally anything else.

    People who advocate against animal cruelty are a special kind of stupid. Totally destructive of any (fundamentally not so bad) businesses that give time the time of day, and utterly ineffective at actually meaningfully changing the mass cruelty of the meat industry. Absolutely catastrophic virtue signaling. PETA “shelters” have a higher kill (euthanasia) rate than any other organization.


  • I mean, not so much a strategy as a natural economic consequence of environmental preferences and higher labor prices in the states. The hypocrisy is having labor and environmental standards in the US that we are happy to let companies circumvent by simply doing that labor elsewhere. Like we’ve all decided it’s fine to wear clothes that involved children getting maimed in factories, as long as they are not our children. And nobody was ever forced to find an economical way to make maim free clothing in the US…or given an opportunity to…
