Vegan options at restaurants are more and more common. I don't need to compromise my views on eating animals for the convenience of not being able to eat at some restaurants. By the same logic, what's to stop someone from being "vegan at home" and then going out to a steakhouse?

Ban on gay characters in movies and tv shows? Are you telling me that those guys in my BL dramas are just friends?

Yeah, China is behind America on gay rights. They also don't have a mass movement of evangelical Christians trying to eliminate gay and transgender people. Boomer brain worms seem like a much easier obstacle.

It's important to note that when it comes to LGBT issues, China is getting better.

How is America progressing on that front?

It was a real strength of the show that even characters who were primarily comic relief (like Badger and Skinny Pete) had levels of depth and realism to them. If Walt jr was portrayed as anything other than an ordinary teenager with a physical disability, it would feel very incongruent with the rest of the series.

I owe this show a rewatch.

Undermining American hegemony by...destabilizing a region that America benefits from being unstable? Not really the same situation. Russia is actually doing real harm to our ability to maintain a global stranglehold. That is a good thing, even if Putin is otherwise a shitty reactionary capitalist.

Fighting against imperialism is actually just imperialism, if your intentions aren't pure.

It's pretty weird when he tries to play family counselor because the owner's family won't stop bickering.
