You're calling someone an unbelievable dumbarse and then immediately using a logical fallacy, who's the dumbarse here?
An appeal to nature is a pathetic defense. It's natural to rape and murder too, but obviously we recognise that those are negative things that should be avoided. Why do you think needlessly killing an animal is any different?
Seriously. Wagner mercenaries are the only trained soldiers left in Russia after Putin sent his personal army to their deaths
Pretty sure spez is making a ton of money at this point. He's been working on Reddit for like 15 years and ,while I'm sure he's managed to earn a nice paycheck for some of those years, he's finally in reach of a big payout
I expect he will (because I'd do the same) sell his shares ASAP and disappear from public life
I'm not confident in OP's ability to do that. They clearly struggle with their own research or they wouldn't be in this mess
OP sounds fucking exhausting to be around
Beehaw is aiming for zero trolls, I don't think they care whether the trolls come with some good people too. They're currently in a position to have zero trolls and I think it's a good goal to strive for
Neither needs to happen
You misunderstand the ethics of veganism. Vegans aim to reduce suffering. So far, science points to most animals being likely to suffer similarly to how we as humans suffer, since we share evolutionary history and similar biological systems.
Plants do not share these systems, nor have any evolutionary pressure to be able to suffer or feel pain, since they would not be able to do anything about it anyway
It's not a blanket "living things are sacred"
Furthermore, if you really cared at all about the poor suffering plants, you'd know that the vast vast majority of plants grown by humans are fed inefficiently to animals. So, by going vegan, you'd be hugely reducing the number of plants you are causing harm to
Finally, carnivorous animals have literally nothing to do with veganism. Please stop trying to discredit a movement you don't even understand
You acknowledge here that animals feel pain and suffering and that you'd prefer not to cause pain and suffering to animals
If you have any sense you can see that you eating meat causes pain and suffering to animals, yet you continue to eat meat. Why do you decide to suffer this cognitive dissonance instead of just stopping causing suffering to innocents?
2 slices toast, buttered, with marmite if I feel like it's worth the effort
You didn't need to kill the cow to eat, you chose to kill something that didn't want to die for the fleeting taste of it's dead body on your tongue
Yeah they're groups of people combined by hatred, they have no chance to ever evolve into anything nice
Anything by CGPGrey but specifically Humans Need Not Apply
Box A has $1,000,000
Literally the title of the post
That's how I started too, and now I'm a die hard vegan :)
If your goal is in that direction, don't get yourself down when you hit setbacks. I can thrive now, but when I was first beginning my journey I struggled a lot with eating out, especially abroad.
A setback doesn't mean you can't keep moving forward
Food yes, animals products no
I don't disbelieve the article, I've seen it on many news sites. The fact remains that the sun isn't a source of news. It's a tabloid, and has been caught lying countless times
Once more to be clear
The Sun is NOT a news source
I looked at those, I don't think there's an option to be notified to replies of your comments. It seems like you can only be notified if you created the post
You, hearing that someone is torturing monkeys: "ah yes that reminds me I should torture some monkeys"
???
It's better with a capital J, take my word for it
I'm loving the DJ! It does go off the rails a bit if you leave it on too long
I listen to a lot of different genres but I'm bad at sorting them so they're all just in a massiv playlist. The DJ plays them in little batches of similar genres which flows a lot better than the random shuffle
To be very brief:
Beehaw seeks primarily to protect its users and create a space where they aren't going to be attacked for being who they are.
The Beehaw admins noticed they were dealing with a lot of hate from 2 lemmy instances which had open sign ups.
Beehaw defederated from those 2 instances.
There's been some kickback from people who think defederating goes against the core values of Lemmy.
That's all I've got, I'm sure others will be able to add to this
You can pay for Reddit?
Then they block your site and prevent you ever doing business in one of the world's largest markets. I'm not sure how liability works but the CEO may also be unable to travel to the EU also
The Sun is a shite rag, can we stop it being posted here before it becomes accepted?
They constantly make shit up for clicks and ragebait, as well as to push right wing agendas on economically deprived idiots
