  • They aren’t banning the packets tho… I can see how the plastic pouches could be better for the environment than the polypropylene fish tho, but certainly not by much.

    Man, it sounds like the ultimate first-world problem, but how are they gonna get soy sauce with takeout sushi without single-use plastics? I imagine the people who get takeout sushi and the people who have a bottle of soy sauce in their fridge are largely different groups. Not to mention the people who get takeout sushi for lunch at work. This may degrade the takeout sushi experience for all of South Australia.

    Depends on the movie and the kid.

    My first kid watched Coco about a million times. Probably most underrated Pixar film, imo. I still tear up during My Strong Corazon.

    Can’t tell you how much I’ve seen the Mario Movie.

    Or the same episodes of Bluey.

    So blockbusters still get tons of rewatch.

    But…there’s soooo much independent content out there. And kids aren’t beholden to what’s physically in the house.

    Honestly it’s amazing to me that modern kids have a cohesive culture with so much media variety.

    I suppose as long as there are huge franchises, people will always grasp onto them in some way, and they will be kind of beacons for an array of subcultures. You’ll still have kids that gravitate towards Minecraft…or Star Wars…or Sonic…or LotR, and then discover more niche stuff on a tangent from those.




  • Chinese treatment of animals is beyond anything else I’ve ever seen.

    I agree with you…but do you really think America or most of the West would be much better if not for modern animal rights activists?

    Modern industrial society has such a wild disconnect from its food, and I don’t think most people would care if not for the likes of PETA et al always bringing to the front of their attention.

    Myself and my kids are ovo-/lacto- vegetarian. My wife is full blown vegan. We raise a small flock of chickens for eggs and my oldest (2nd grade) loves our hens like members of the family.

    You know how some of the kids bully him? By saying they’ll come to our house and eat our chickens. I think even a second-grader would know not to say that about a dog…but a chicken? Not even a thought. Even his therapist wasn’t disturbed by that until I told her that the chickens are treated more like pets than livestock.

    And they should be treated better. They are beautiful, diverse creatures with their own social rules and personalities. You haven’t lived till you’ve gotten stoned and hung out with a flock of hens for a few hours.
