If you want something done, do it yourself!
humans may actually be worse because unlike dogs, we are all convinced that we ourselves are rational

if you tell a dog that it is stupid, it will go pout in a corner

if you tell a human he is stupid, he will get all belligerent and actually become *more* sure of himself

for a long time the FDA would not approve the "organic" label and associated regulations b/c they did studies showing that consumers would start attributing all sorts of magical health benefits to products w/ the label

then the bush administration came along and whelp who cares about those studies

i think i've figured that out actually

it's a combination of the just-world fallacy and the implicit belief that all humans have agency while animals do not

so if an animal is mistreated, it's because a human mistreated it, but if something bad happened to a human, they in some way deserved it

obviously this is complete bullshit but it would explain the way a lot of people think

its fine though because the only people it hurts is the dumbest people with the most money. it would be harmful if gm crops were labeled because that would make people unnecessarily wary of cheap, sustainable food.

folks when someone says "i went downtown and there was a shooting of some sort" would you think they saw someone making a movie? all the dictionary definitions i can find tell me yeah that's a correct way of phrasing it but my instinct says when they're filming it's called a shoot, and when they're using guns it's a shooting

i would assume they were shooting guns

if it was a movie, it would be phrased like, "i went downtown and they were shooting a movie of some sort"

this also raises some questions about the exact definition of "'gmo", because it seems like it would be literally impossible to grow much of anything that doesn't fall into that category after 10,000 years or so of agriculture
