I’ve also been through at least several primary care physicians because the ones I have seen are so short and don’t really take time to get to know you at all. They just pop in, ask you a handful of questions and leave, if your test results come back with anything abnormal, they say it’s nothing to worry about, they don’t want to take any extra time to help look into anything or diagnose you… like wtf?

Because we’re not people to them. They’re incentivized to treat us like cars. Repair as fast and as many as you can to get the most money.

I’m not paying more money to get no-breakfast, and have to do chores, and have a 15% chance of crazy owner, and a non-zero chance of it being a scam, and have AirBNB corporate give me the run around.

emotion, anger and hate requires effort and as a very lazy person it seems like a whole lot of effort misspent

Not to me. Emotions just are. My parents taught me a lot of bigoted ways and those emotions just rise up. I had to argue with myself against those thought, after I moved out and grew up.

I wrote a nice long reply and it disappeared. Here’s an abbreviated version.

Would an analysis of all current research be enough evidence? They conclude that there is no significant difference of cat heath when fed a nutritionally sufficient vegan diet.

yes, thanks, I’ll read that later.

The obsession with “natural diet” is bizarre in the first place. Are you feeding your cat small songbirds and mice, or are you feeding them dry food made with meat they never would be ankle to hunt for in the wild?

It’s not bizarre, it’s pretty intuitive. Veganism is an ethical concept, which applies to humans not animals.

This is a contentious issue for most people, and it can be hard when you are very passionate about something to look at the evidence and change your opinion.

Agreed, and using “obsession” and “bizzare” is gonna ruffle some feathers, proving your own point.

Meat is not required for pets as there is enough studies to suggest this conclusion.

Bold claims require bold evidence. Natural meat eaters should naturally eat meat. To say otherwise requires a loooot of evidence.

Robo? Cyber moe? That’s a picture of Chun Li.

Oooh this has my name written all over it.

Not just that but really great comedic writing and delivery. I love the just right amount of sarcasm and pedantry. Not too much to be annoying, just enough to be hilarious.

R18 this, R18 that. Sigh, nevermind.

Reminds me of Lost Positives by Rob Words. Disgruntled. what about gruntled?

bread typically having a deliberately developed structural matrix with high elasticity,

Cake fits into this, I’d say.

If gluten is required, then gf bread isn’t bread. But anyone who’s eaten gf bread would call it bread. Different but still bread.

Yes. Flour, water, heat. That’s it. Tortillas are bread. Cake is bread. Crackers are bread.

Look at the name of the community. Your response isn’t really helpful.

I just cant fathom going to a place and think boy I wish there were more X here.

I can. I can’t learn from or have discussions with people who have literally the same life as me. That’s kinda boring.

Is it an American thing?

Yes. Diversity has been drilled into me my entire life. There are news articles and lawsuits about discrimination all the time. IDK about other countries, but, yeah, diversity is a huge thing in the USA.

What I mean about constructing statistics is going to a place and starting counting people hmmm yes there are 95% straight people here and 96% white people here

No.

In my post, I linked to a statistics page from a popular homebrewing community. https://brulosophy.com/2024/05/27/2024-general-homebrewer-survey-results/

This is not representative of the American demographics. It’s largely skewed. I then went to my regular meeting and saw the same thing. I wondered if there’s a specific reason for the difference. I asked here.

Construing statistics about the people around you?

Huh? I don’t understand the question.

And then being displeased about some fluke in the numbers?

Where did I say I was pleased or displeased?

Like what does it matter??

Look at the name of the community you’re participating in.
