Right. What I was saying is. Calling the civil war the “war of northern aggression” may make some of the racists that currently live in the northern states upset.
I meant northern as a literal geographic area. Like how Oregon is in the north. As opposed to some arbitrary line like the 31st parallel, or the mason Dixon line.
No, much like I said in my comment. Now, just like then. The racists are everywhere. They are in the north and the south. Trump welcomes racists from all over the US irregardless of geographical location.
The north is racist too. He wouldn’t want to alienate them. After all Montana has the highest concentration of white supremacists per capita.
California apparently has the most hate groups by total amount.

I verified Montana with another website. If you want to know the full list of per capita. Just google it. But all that hate isn’t trapped in the south. Though, I admit that there is more than enough to go around down here.
I’m not super serious. I mean we are talking hypotheticals either way. The world/USA is never going to be full vegan. At least not in our lifetimes, and we have to feed too many people. So, things will continue just as they are.
If I was being serious I would have also mentioned the water crisis in our agricultural areas in the US on top of the contamination. That way I could really drive home just how unsustainable our situation is. I know that livestock uses more water by the way, but it’s super unsustainable as it is. I doubt that just cutting out meat would be enough to save the lack of water situation.
It’s a multifaceted, and complicated issue. One that if we’re being serious I’m smart enough to know that I don’t know all the ins and outs of. I’m also smart enough to know that you don’t either. Seeing as this issue isn’t our job and both of us are woefully inadequate to look at the situation from every angle. I was simply trying to look at some angles that perhaps you hadn’t.
I think that explains how serious I was with my comments. Which is to say I am not, and neither are you.
Also, did you know that 20% of US crops are alfalfa for export? I’ll let you figure out why that’s important. After all you made me look up Charlie Kirk.
I thought it was Steven Seagal.
I only know 2 things about Steven Seagal.
Steven Seagal is a Russian shill.
One time Gene LeBell choked Steven out so hard, that Steven Seagal shit his pants.
Those are the only 2 things I know, and need to know about Steven Seagal.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has a big ass tree. Like, a really big ass tree.
Agricultural run off is the main polluter of US waterways. It does include the meat industry, but switching to an all vegetarian diet would ramp up the pollutants caused by fruit and vegi farming.

As an Alabamian I came here to shit on Alabama. But you guys have already said everything I could say, and said it better. Probably because of my shitty Alabama education. Anyway, it makes me happy that someone is seeing what kind of nonsense goes on here.
I didn’t know that about the sequel. That’s pretty cool. I did know about the difference between the book and the movie. I read a similar discussion a few days ago. But your information is new to me.
As someone that contracted Hep C Genotype 2 from IV drug use, and has now been “cured” (meaning I have an undetectable viral load 10+ years later) though technically you are never cured from a virus. I did a brutal regimen of peg interferon and ribavirin for 6 months. The side effects are fucking horrible.
Because of this I have read about Hep C pretty exhaustively. Someone said that Jenny could have caught it from being sexually abused as a child from her father. While plausible, it is an incredibly remote chance. Hep C isn’t in body fluids like HIV. Hep C has to be blood to blood. The chances of transmission with surface blood to surface blood is incredibly remote not impossible, but not probable.
For these reasons and more it bothers me that Hep C is used as her killer in the book. It’s such an unlikely killer, and the main way you get it is through unsavory activities like IV drug use. It seems like the author chose Hep C just as a punishment for her horrible life choices. Almost like Jenny is a yin to Forrest’s yang.
Anyway, I could keep going on about this for more paragraphs, but you may know all this already, and even if you don’t you probably have better things to do with your time.
I know it was Hep C, but Hep C usually takes a LOOOOONNGG time to kill ya. Like, at least 20 years. Even then you die of cancer or cirrhosis of the liver. As far back as the 80’s they had interferon which isn’t perfect, but between all the factors she still would have been fairly unlucky to die from Hep C. Especially so young.
I just want to mention that this man once kicked Dave Mustaine’s dog, and got punched in the face for it.
Yeah my DM name was Delithril, and the guy that did most of the programming was Leaf Stone. Those were the days. I mainly handled hardware and networking, and I built the forums and hosted those too. He mainly did programming. We both did the npc conversations and play testing the spawns. It was a lot of fun.
I went to it, and that seems right. It’s an interesting website.
