Amergin posted:The fact that much of US corn is used as animal feed should justify it enough, unless you're a vegan. But given that nobody has posted about how they're vegan and how awesome it is, and that I'm surrounded by goons, I'm assuming none of you are vegan. We shouldn't be producing so much corn because we shouldn't be feeding so many animals. Something like 1/3 of global GHG emissions are from agriculture, and the livestock supply-chain makes up close to half of that.

Talmonis posted:"Animal farts are a leading cause of global climate change. It kind of is. A lot of it is careless referencing of a terrible retracted UN report from years ago that used inconsistent measurements to vastly overstate the carbon production of agriculture in general and livestock in particular. Though it is true that the environmental impact of agriculture would be a lot lower if we didn't feed so many food crops to cattle.

evilweasel posted:We send Cuba a check each year and naturally they rip it up rather than deposit it God drat I thought you were kidding. So..."normalizing relations" with Cuba and lifting an embargo is outrageous but renting out a torture prison for less than what an apartment in Manhattan costs per month is considered totally normal and any attempts to close it are unpatriotic. I'm honestly having a hard time figuring out how this can even work logistically, let alone morally. How does security work? Is it just that Jack Nicholson wall/fence line from 'A Few Good Men'? How do they get food and water in and out? And lawyers (hahaha, yeah right)? How are sanitation, power and general infrastructure handled? What do the soldiers do that are stationed there when they're not torturing people? So we just rent this land, build a jail and a fence, place soldiers and arms there and they just let us do whatever we want? loving weird. "Oh. Someone wants some cigars and a quart of rum? gently caress NO! and gently caress you Obama!" uncurable mlady posted:The moral of the story: Terrorism works! That's what FOX News is saying.

So a question about the Sony hack. If NK has learned they can hire hacking squads with impunity and severely damage a multinational corporation, should I be quite concerned as an employee of a South Korean major multinational corporation? I'm trying to think of reasons why North Korea wouldn't target their neighbours economy by means they can easily get away with and I'm coming up short.
