It can, if some laws are changed. Which is possible, although the largest video game producers will probably raise hell to not release any control they have.

I once tried to apply for unemployment benefits for a period of 3 months between jobs. I now have a whole folder with all the documents I was sent. My application was, of course, denied.

Another thing I can never unsee :(

I am not expecting every person on earth to stop consuming meat immediately. If some people in Mongolia have some cows and sheep on their farm, sure, that is already so much better than factory farming. Factory farming makes up about 90% percent of worldwide meat production, and that is the main thing people are talking about when discussing meat production. Factory farming is responsible for massive ecological damage due to animal waste, ie their shit and cows farting methane, on top of being extremely cruel. And then there is the overabundance of antibiotics used to keep the animals somewhat healthy ("healthy" is really a stretch here), which helps diseases build immunities to those antibiotics.

As for cost, meat is heavily subsidized (at least where I live), so we are all paying part of the cost for it through taxes. It is not as cheap as you might think when seeing it in a supermarket.

As for stopping exploitation of animals, that will never happen. It's wishful thinking.

That's just baseless conjecture, just because you lack the imagination to think of a world without or at the very least way less exploitation does not mean it cannot be achieved. And I'd rather have little exploitation than a lot, it's not a binary choice between "changing nothing" and "completely removing exploitation, which is impossible, so let's just do nothing".

If only, I know so many people who don't bother with adblocking at all. I honestly have no idea how they use the Internet without going mad

There is a difference between not doing something that is purely done for enjoyment (eating meat, you can live perfectly fine and be healthy without) and not taking medication. Additionally, vegans want to stop exploiting animals for human benefit, so they are in favor of not doing animal testing anyways.

Consciousness and conscience are not the same thing, this naming is horrible

Of course not only women are sexually assaulted, but it happens to them a lot more often, to the point that a good amount of women have some story to tell about it while for men it's rather unusual. That's not to say that sexual assault of men should not be taken seriously, but I don't think the comic makes that statement.

What would a plasma be? Same as the gas, but the wojaks are all angry?

Only a sith deals in absolutes.

No no, I find this completely believable. It's like lacking a consistent moral system is a requirement for being conservative.
