The chart also considers protein supply for this reason.
It’s extremely rare that grazing land is used for anything else. In fact, over half of tropical deforestation is done to create pasture land for cattle.

“Crop residues” or “crop seconds” only account for about a quarter of global animal feed, and the grain fed to cattle in the US alone could feed a billion people.
Please don’t present this as the norm for animal agriculture, as it’s disingenuous at best. The rare instances where this occurs are far outweighed by the habitable land use that animal agriculture accounts for globally. And even in the countries you call out, such as New Zealand, factory farming is on the rise, and pigs are almost exclusively factory farmed.
Digital Foundry made a pretty convincing case that it’s running on current switch hardware: https://www.ign.com/articles/was-metroid-prime-4-running-on-switch-2. That being said, a cross-generation release wouldn’t be out of character for Nintendo.
I learned a lot about home maintenance and handiwork from my dad, but then I started looking stuff up and realized he’s been stubbornly doing a lot of projects the wrong way.
Is that a Birdhouse skateboard?
If there is I couldn’t find it. I dug through the menus before I made this post.
If you think Jesus would have sided with conservatives against trans people, you should check out Matthew 5:11.
Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.
I would highly recommend donating to a specific organization rather than as a “uniform anatomical gift”. Unless you’re fine with being sold by a body broker and used for explosives/crash testing, or forensic entomological decomposition research: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bodies-donated-to-science-largely-unregulated-cbs-reports/
Hey Mike Pence, how does it feel for someone to demonize you for political reasons? When you were governor of Indiana, that’s exactly what you did to my friends in the LGBT community. Then you defended a man who bragged about sexually assaulting women and helped him become president.
Maybe not the best idea. According to the article, using this app they can leave notes about you for other members to see. Talking about satanism would probably flag you for even more harassment.
Even brands like log cabin who claim to use “no high fructose corn syrup” are just corn syrup and sugar. There are people who go their entire lives eating pancake syrup and table syrup on their pancakes, and die never having tasted actual maple syrup.
Another great charity evaluator is https://www.givewell.org/. Their mission is to find charities that save or improve lives the most per dollar spent, and their findings are research-backed and evidence-based. 100% of your donation goes to the charity you support. They also evaluate the lowest cost to save a human life, which is currently about $3k-$5k. Their top rated charities are involved in malaria prevention:
I’m sorry you had to experience that and I hope you’re doing well!
I did, and I find myself largely in agreement with the author. I was citing the article and a linked source when I talked about the rare case of people who regretted transitioning. Was there a specific claim I made that the article refuted? Maybe I missed something?
Ok that’s what I had assumed, but I might have been vague with my comment. I should have said “the risks of certain types of gender-affirming care”.
Do puberty blockers fall under the classification of gender affirming care, or is only hormone therapy and surgery? Perhaps I was incorrect.
It sounds simple on the surface, but I struggle with weighing the risk of prescribing gender-affirming care to someone who will regret it later in life and forcing someone to endure puberty that they will regret later in life. A strong case can be made that some kids will identify as transgender due to childhood trauma or neurodivergence. It’s also undeniable that there are hundreds of thousands of people who regret going through puberty that doesn’t match their gender. I’d be curious to see statistical data about these groups to truly measure the risks on either side. There’s also an interesting study of neuroanatomy in trans women showing strong similarities to cisgender women. I wonder if this data can be used to help mitigate the potential risks of gender-affirming care?
Can you share the source for this chart? It doesn’t list whether this is for a specific country, region or global.
