The reason many people say it's OK to be complicit in factory farming animals, but not humans, is because humans are smarter: "they're just animals". Pointing out that factory farmed animals are smarter than severely mentally-disabled humans, shows it's clearly not about intelligence. Speciesism is therefor similar to racism and sexism.

What's important is whether they can feel pain or not, not intelligence.

Pointing out the lie isn't gross. What is gross is torturing 3-6 trillion fish to death every year, and enslaving 1-3 trillion animals in torturous conditions every year.

Dominion, Land of hope and glory, Earthlings

Hundreds of billions of livestock are kept in torturous conditions every year. Dominion, Land of hope and glory, Earthlings.

1-3 trillion fish are kept in torturous conditions every year on factory farms.

Many animals are smarter than severely mentally-disabled humans, yet we don't torture and eat severely mentally-disabled humans. So it's not about intelligence. It's obviously also not about being able to feel pain, because animals can feel pain.

Do you agree with "Don't do to others what you wouldn't want done to you"?

If yes, would you be okay with genetically modified people who are much smarter and crueler than you, treating you like factory farmers and fishermen treat animals? 1-3 trillion fish are enslaved in torturous factory-farm conditions every year, and together with fishermen torture about 2-6 trillion fish to death annually, usually by slow asphyxiation. Hundreds of billions of land-animals (mostly chickens) are enslaved in torturous conditions every year and slaughtered. About 1% of chickens are boiled alive because it would cost more money to make sure the machines that kill them don't miss that 1%. Dairy cows are repeatedly put on rape racks to be artificially inseminated, because they only give milk after delivering a calf. The calves are removed from their mothers, because the farmers don't want the calves to drink the milk. Would you like to be kept your entire life in torturous conditions? Be tortured to death? You and/or your female family repeatedly artificially inseminated and made to give birth, then have the babies taken away so you and/or your female family's milk can be harvested, eventually killed for hamburger when not yielding enough milk to make a profit?

According to KnowYourMeme it's from a photoshoot. Maybe an acting toddler, or a photographer who made a toddler cry.

When making movies or TV shows that require a crying baby, they're supposed to wait for the baby (or it's twin) to cry, and not to actually make it cry.

The train already had about 10 students who got on at previous stations also going to her school. She was the only one at that particular stop. Her parents already has a car, and they use it to drive her for 5 minutes to the train station, the train then takes 1 hour to get to where her school is.

"There’s only one train heading away from the main city of Asahikawa toward Engaru High School each day, so Kana’s parents make the five-minute drive to the station in time for her to catch the 7:16 a.m. train every morning, where she’s the only regular passenger waiting on the elevated section of land serving as a platform. The journey to school takes almost one hour, giving Kana time to read, listen to music or study during test time.

When Kana boards the train, there are about 10 other passengers, mostly other students, inside." https://allabout-japan.com/en/article/1540/

Nope: "along with more than 10 schoolmates at 7.15am." The Straits Times "On boarding the train, Kana takes her seat amongst her schoolmates who got on board at earlier stations. Most of the passengers, indeed, are students at the Engaru Highschool. " The Online Citizen

Also, reducing human overpopulation is a good things because human overpopulation is the biggest cause of anthropogenic climate change (compare it to other causes), and the root cause of it. It's also the root cause of the anthropocene extinction event and of that becoming a mass extinction event, and of factory farming, and of industrial fishing, and of habitat degradation and destruction, and of unsustainable pollution, ...

I think the provocation was her reporting facts. Can't have that when most voters have chosen Trump.

Anyone know how to get rid of the Gemini icons?

Scientists didn't become pickier - they just later found that Pluto was in a belt of thousands of massive object (called the Kuiper belt), like the asteroid belt but much bigger.

When Ceres was discovered in 1801, it was thought to be a comet, later a planet, but after discovering it was one of many asteroids in the asteroid belt (which it wasn't big enough to clear), they realized it wasn't a planet.

When Pluto was first discovered in 1930, it was in a similar situation as Ceres and thought of as a planet, but when other Kuiper belt objects started to be discovered by 1992, they realized Pluto also wasn't a planet.
