Yep. Animals are also legally considered property, but at least they have some legal protection. Slaves had basically none.

Ding ding ding.

It’s not just a braindead insult, there are at least some actual antisemitic assholes in the pro-palestine group. They’re very much a minority, but they exist.

I got modernized out of being a parttime worker at the library, when they switched from barcodes to RFID and they didn’t need someone to scan the books anymore.

Which was kinda sad, because while that was boring, helping people find stuff was great. It’s been nearly 20 years and I still can’t stand an unalphabetised bookshelf, or one where the spines don’t line up.

Nowadays, I’m a safety consultant, and I get to fire clients. The most fun one was when they copied my signature on a plan that I specifically told them was illegal. I found out when I got a letter saying I committed environmental crimes for agreeing to said plan.

And US standards are nothing compared to EU GSR requirements. All sorts of mandatory safety systems are required nowadays.

Ohhh it’s an “at first” take? Thats kinda not how the meme works. I know the whole story, but that would normally have one person smiling, the other not.

Why the double smile?

It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that shitty people are distributed through the population. There are shitty people in every single subgroup.

And an annoyingly high number of them are far more famous that I like.

The loss condition is a lot less fun, and the quicksave sucks

Or flipping your nail back, that looks like it hurts like hell

So, when I was in college I made a specific sort of (very very niche) video or audio, for pay. That’s maybe 15-20 years ago.

It was actually pretty fun, but I never did anything in person, which probably helps. I’m (or was) not nearly as good looking as the women here, but I met the highly niche requirements and got paid pretty well.

Better than my parttime job in the library (no, that’s not the niche).

One of the women has a price of “free”. You could try copying that price.

Not enough throughput? well, that’s what upgraded belts are for. Still not enough? that’s what extra belts are for. Still not enough? see previous comment.

Huh I remembered wrong. Thanks for the correction

Ok, I chuckled at that.

Yes, but muuuuuch shorter.

I guess they should have added some magic marker notes as well for the slowest kids.

Hey, fuck you too.

Wow, did that make my post any better like it did for you?

Oh it’s not raw. It spends between a day and a week in a barrel full of salt with some of its intestines. That way, the pancreatic enzymes can make the fish even tastier!

The only cow food I know that needs insect is clover and alfalfa. Grass, wheat and even soybeans do OK without.

Potatoes do both. Potato seeds are produced from fertilizing potato flowers, and can then grow into new plants.

But they also spread asexually via tubers, which is way more convenient for farming.

Ok but,

Cows don’t require bees. The food that cows eat (wheat, grass, soy) either pollinates by wind or spreads by root. Soybean benefits, but doesn’t rely on, insect pollination. Alfalfa is pollinated by bees, as are most forms of clover.

Cocoa trees are pollinated by midges, not bees. And the rest of the shake comes from the above mentioned cows.

Lettuce also self-pollinates, though again insects help. Commercially, they’re not really used.

Tomatoes are commercially pollinated by shaking them, because commercial tomatoes are optimized for making food and are pretty shit at being plants.

Potatoes are basically the only major ingredient that is pollinated by bees. But that’s basically never used by anyone growing potatoes, since potatoes also spread asexually by tubers.

Stuff in this pic that IS pollinated by bees: the sugar beets that are potentially in everything (edit: nope, that’s wrong) but not the corn you can also use for sugar. Cucumber for the pickles. Some oil plants to fry in. Coconut or almond if you don’t want cow milk. Sesame seeds on the bun.
