Keep protesting and boycotting and it will keep going down
Tesla insiders are notably dumping a lot of shares right now
Keep boycotting, and keep protesting it and it will struggle
Tesla share prices are based on vibes not the actual company performance. Mass boycotts and protests are bad for the vibes
It’s also where most of Musk’s wealth is, so the more it goes down the less he can leverage it to buy other stuff and keep his other companies afloat
Problably because they largely don’t really mean all that much to begin with in any case
In the video recording, the technician freely acknowledged that the chicken industry’s “free-range” labels were essentially meaningless — a rare instance of an industry insider saying the quiet part out loud.
Bringing up a Tyson competitor, the farm manager wonders how other poultry companies handle supposedly free-range-raised chickens. The short answer: They don’t, really.
“Those birds don’t go outside — you know that,” the technician replies. “They don’t all go out … Look that up online.”
For avoiding the cruelty in the egg industry, I’d recommend looking at stuff from plants like Just Egg or aquafaba. Some of ones for baking particularly are way cheaper than eggs too
Do not eat goat
Goats themselves strong
Leave goat to be strong
Not quite identical, but there are some that are close
I hear you, and I agree in general
but the side of me that hates brands doing this is currently losing to the “but like their social media manager is actually really funny tho” side
Baby Big Whoop? Damn there’s a whole product line now?
And yet many can be up in arms about dogs & cats being eaten in some regions despite that claim
Serious in that they should stand up for non-human animals, but in the kind of way where you also know the answer as to why 99% aren’t
Is this implying you know for certain that human babies aren’t? Maybe we should be a little concerned how you figured that one out
10·25 days agoThink that would be good to edit the post to show that image instead
There are mirrors and such like xcancel.com where you can link without giving Musk revenue
Can we also add a no links to
twitter.com/x.comrule like other communities are starting to add? Not that many people are generally doing a lot of linking here, but still would be good to have sort of rule against it
People are pointing out is that at conception there is only one cell, the fertilized egg / zygote. So everyone would have only the “large reproductive cell” (the egg). It’s honestly so poorly written that you could also argue it’s saying everyone’s bigender too
But as an aside, it’s actually not even true that XY guarantees someone will be assigned male at birth.People with Swyer syndrome present AFAB or intersex while having XY chromosomes
The opposite is true for people with de la Chapelle syndrome where they have XX chromosomes and present AMAB / intersex.
Many people with either of those never know they have XY or XX . There’s also way more possibilities than just XX and XY. You can have XXY, XXYY, just X, and more
3·2 months agoThere is hardly no resistance, it just gets less press. Just in the courts alone:
Lawsuits against DOGE were filed exactly 1 minute into his admin
Federal workers and thier unions are suing his Schedule F plans
ACLU is suing his attempts to unconstitutionally remove birthright citizenship. (And more than 22 state attorny generals + DC + the city of sanfransico filed seperate lawsuit about it too plus other non profits and organizations)
Many of his executive order have been typo full and generally poorly written. Don’t assume they’ll all survive court challenge. Even if SCOTUS is insane, they don’t always back trump’s plans
There is also resistance from Governors to his plans
For instance, Governor Pritzker said he wouldn’t follow any of Trump’s unconstitutional orders against Birthright citizenship. They state previously did similar and passed protections in 2017 & 2021 & put limits on any local involvement with federal authorities to slow it all down
And so on
Good, I’m glad it’s resonating with people. It’s a good reminder to not let yourself become victim to the hopeless that they want you to have. We can fight and we will fight
We don’t have to win every battle to turn the tides
It matters more than you might think even if Republicans generally don’t care about the average person. For instance, in 2023 due to push-back there ended up being enough republican support (~100) to get the 2/3 needed to expel George Santos despite republicans having a super slim majority in the house
Or they already dropped Matt Gatez as their AG pick because of the push back from Republicans in the senate
It matters especially on the house side this time as well where they started with a three seat majorities and will be at 1 seat majority until special elections in April. Only a handful of republican defections is enough to kill a bill
Keep in mind that as we look at things now, many of Republicans policies are deeply unpopular even among many Republican voters. For instance, Project 2025 has only a 4% approval rating, 57% disapproval
There is a disconnect between what people think they are voting for and what they are actually voting for. It’s a launching off point to change things from. Many people really did think he would lower prices. If Trump goes through with plans on steep Tarrifs their support will hardly be so vocal for him
Look at Bush 2004 to - economy crashing - and then Obama 2008
Lets also look at other areas that we tend to think of as linear forms of progress that really weren’t - like the civil rights era. There were serious regressions during Jim Crow and things took a long time to get better, but the leaders who made progress didn’t give up and were able to get a lot through
The Plessy v Ferguson ruling was in the 1896. The NAACP started going after different underpinnings of it piece by piece in the 1930s. It took until the 1950s for them to start getting serious wins undermining the Plessy ruling - suggesting that it could fully be overturned which it was in 1954
Considering even industry certifications aren’t always followed, I’d have to imagine ones without are even less likely to be followed. Even if they are, they’re almost certainly still doing stuff like Chick culling :(
There’s also some store bought vegan mayo too that’s pretty good! (Though making your own is probably cheaper if you enjoy doing that)
If you like trying things out, I should also note there’s a good number of vegan recipe communities here on Lemmy. For instance:
!homecooks@vegantheoryclub.org
!veganrecipes@sh.itjust.works
