Well now we're talking about the uterus, which has all sorts of other unfun side effects, including (at minumum) monthly nonstop days-long gut punches

Aside from everything already stated ... pushing a whole ass baby out of a vagina is already a moderately unpopular activity

A smaller and slightly longer tube is unlikely to be an improvement

When an innocent person is killed, even if you mistakenly thought they really really deserved it, that's murder. What do we do with murderers? We kill them. But if one supports a system that murders, they become party to that murder. I'm not keen on being a part of a murder system, no matter how occasional.

Alternatively, to appeal to the selfish, if one is willing to allow a few innocents to die for a broken system to function, they they'd better be okay with being one of those innocents.

Either way, I don't trust the state to decide who lives and dies.

How high are you stacking your bread

Nice snowtography

Love Mt Tamalpais. Thank you for sharing this!

You mean heliocentrism, right? Or am I bungling the context here

Ah, I see. I would argue it's a bigger jump than how you're presenting it, but your point makes a lot more sense to me now. Thanks for the elaboration!

"Mars has been making pet foods for over thirty years. Branching into pet care isn't a huge stretch."

I made a matching comparison to human food and human medical care. To my reading, it's exactly the same, and I don't understand your reply now. But I admit I'm curious to the distinction you're seeing, if you're willing to elaborate.

General Mills has made food for a long time, but if they wanted to open a hospital and do surgery on me, I think that would indeed be a huge stretch.

People at VCA are doing their best, I personally know this to be true. But the dystopian corporate bullshit they have to deal with is epic. These people are worse off for VCA being their boss, I promise you.
