  • Do you not get cravings for food?

    Eating is enjoyable, and to eat different foods is a different experience. Different smells, tastes, textures. Some people enjoy the experience of eating meat, they enjoy the taste, the texture. When they quit eating meat for ethical issues they still remember that they enjoyed meat.

    So if you enjoy eating meat and only stopped due to the ethical issues, why wouldn’t you create a substitute?

    It’s like a lesbian! Just because you aren’t attracted to a man, or don’t want to be with one, doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a dildo.




  • Pretty much any non-Marxist economists will favor “the market” over workers.

    Just going to point out that “the market” is people’s freedom of choice compounded across society.

    Neoliberalism, the predominant ideology in most western countries, is seen as an alternative to conservatism (very much so in the US), but they’re centrists at best, and conservative-lite at worst.

    It’s almost like political parties are tied to the values of their voters.












  • I learned recently that teachers in my area actually make decent money. Not like… Tech industry money, but for my area they make $30/h on the low end, $43/h median, and $52.60/h on the high end.

    That’s a decent living that most people don’t experience. I’m sure some places are awful for teachers though.
