Even if the lamb has the best treatment in the world, to eat it, it has to be killed as an infant, it's only months old.

I'm not blaming anyone, I was just as oblivious as anyone else to all of this for most of my life, and that's why I like to point it out these days, and perhaps help someone just like the younger me to identify the inconsistencies in the thought (or lack of thought) process. It takes a lot of cognitive dissonance to see the beauty of a young deer and feel obligated to save her life one minute, and next minute eat something just as young and precious without even a single neuron firing about what had to happen to the lamb in order for it to end up on a plate.

People will stop for ducks crossing a round, and then go through a fried chicken drive through. People will spend 1/2 their lunch break admiring pictures of kittens, but eat a lamb or veal (and when you compare a lamb to a kitten they look very similar and just as cute).

If that younger me was reading this, I know I'd be getting angry and frustrated at this comment, ready to throw a barrage of counter arguments such as "lions eat animals". But that is only a good thing, that frustration, anger and annoyance is the logical side your brain fighting tradition and habit side. It's a good thing if it's causing you frustration, because it means you do have a logical side at least and even perhaps on a subconscious level the brain is trying to work out the inconsistencies

Ah, Pacifica. I used to work in the area and would head there on my lunch break. Grab a sandwich from the deli at Safeway and sit on the beach watching the waves roll in while I ate. Water is cold as fuck though. I made the mistake of paddling out without a wetsuit one summer during a heatwave and got hypothermia even though the air temp was over 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

They've always had problems with erosion there, so this is kinda unsurprising to me. There's really nothing they can do. In the video you can see PCH (Highway 1, the Pacific Coast Highway) and I wonder how many years it'll be before the erosion is creeping up to that point. I know that just south of Pacifica they've had to close PCH a couple of times to shore up the road because it was in danger of collapsing, and during rain storms it sometimes gets closed due to landslides from the hills next to it.

I saw this on the local KABC7 news yesterday during my late lunch break.

He cares not. In Chinese culture, getting pooped on by a bird means getting (hitch/marri)ed. I got pooped on as a teen(ager) in high school during outdoor lunch break, but I still have not gotten married.

Artistic ability is not some magical skill from the gods that is gifted to an individual. It takes a lot of practice and fundamental knowledge. If you want to learn how to paint, draw or sculpt there are steps that can help anyone with that goal but, as with any other subject, you have to have the drive and dedicated to learn.

I think it's funny when people I meet expect me to be crazy and interesting because I create things. Sorry, I've got nothing. I've literally spent all morning watching paint dry and now it's time for a lunch break just the same as any other Joe Schmo.

On my lunch break, went to post this -- and here it already was!

Back atcha, sweet thang!

There is no way to get to the lounge. speaking of the lounge, there is too much space between the main chat window and the chat input box. Via iPhone 4S. I miss lounging and reading comments(only one page of comments, wtf?) on my lunch break.

Edit: you can not pinch and zoom.

So, that's why no one sits next to me during lunch breaks.

ZzzZzz...

Did...did I...did I just watch a guy take a dump during my lunch break?


Me too.

Did...did I...did I just watch a guy take a dump during my lunch break?

That was annoyingly creative. Hope that was done while on a lunch break =o/

Thanks. That was an awesome vid to watch on my lunch break. Feel free to share anytime. I dig a lot of your stuff.
