Oh god, Vegans are going Antifa in Australia and storming restaurants to shame the meat eaters, with a promise to ramp it up until they stop all the bad people eating

That's pretty awesome!
Certainly seems a lot more effective than most of the protest methods I've seen (seriously, staging a peaceful hunger strike outside a slaughterhouse? Wtf is that going to achieve?). I can't help being annoyed by your antifa comparison, though...

Wizrogue: Labyrinth of Wizardry

That is an amazing name for a game.

[smjjames]

Those look like PETA activists, not activists against eating meat.

Not into steak myself though, and no it's not because morals or being vegan or anything.

btw. this is the place they stormed:

Never heard of it before, I'm not a steakhouse person but now I'm hungry for steak and mashed potatoes from them. Streissand effect in full force.

Isn't that known as disturbance of the peace in legal terms

It's also trespassing, but Australia is a third-world country where the law no longer functions

While on the topic of Japan....

Spoiler: Raelians are landing. Nazi jew aliens with blue skin make happy mascot appearance. (click to show/hide)

Seriously. Look at that spacesuit, and the insignia on it.

We're they trying to make the book look creepy?

. Also vaguely interested in what it takes to actually make them upset. .

Last time I got angry with a patient it was after five minutes of screaming for something that wasn't important to begin with, and most certainly wasn't my fault.  Notably said person wasn't even my patient.

Bah, don't see animal rights getting any better from actions that do nothing but annoy and alienate from the public. Go to a supermarket to protest, don't go disturb people who might have saved up a few months to take their family to a restaurant.

You should try working in a nursing home.  Sadly, I cannot share the horror stories I have borne witness to.

In an ultimate victory for the radical feminists, women are being banned from sports.

Yesterday, debate erupted in the UK to get rid of the Walk-On Girls (girls accompanying darters to the stage).
Today, Formula 1 decided to get rid of the Grid Girls.
It is expected that basketball / football cheerleaders are next to be scrapped.

It is expected that in 2020, women will be removed from all work related positions, so they can safely do the dishes at home, free from prying men's eyes.

Good job, feminists!

Like Scientology, Raelian writing is really a gullibility filter. e.g. they don't want to time-waste with mentally competent people so they front-load with statements like this:

That was to change on December 13, 1973, when, on his way to work, he had the UFO encounter that transformed his life forever

Seriously, the bar can never get low enough for gullible idiots. At least L. Ron Hubbard lied a lot about traveling through the orient and discovering the secrets of the tibetan mystics etc, to claim where he got his "wisdom". Rael just says "I was going to work one day and you'll never guess what happened ... " and people buy into it.

Basically, that's his entire religion: "one day on the way to work, aliens contacted me and told me to build a 'temple' and whoever believeth in the aliens and worship at the temple, lo, when the aliens return, you'll be taken up in the UFO to get eternal life through high-tech science. Oh BTW, the aliens said you should have lots of sex with me in the meantime".

[ChairmanPoo]

TBH the way I hear it Raelianism is pretty much an excuse to do orgies to begin with.

[Reelya]

Too much Abrahamic religion baggage for me there, to bother with the orgies. For example, they wanted land in Israel to build their temple, but that got knocked back, partly because they use the swastika as part of their iconography.

Isn't Israel crowded enough as the Holy Land for enough religions already? They don't need another one. Why not say the aliens are coming back to Tahiti or somewhere?

[hector13]

Cool Runnings is racist? Well then.

I also rather like the vegan lady’s response to criticism from other vegans:

“They’re fake vegans trolling our Facebook page.”

Awesome.
