It’s not abuse to feed an animal a nutritionally complete diet. There is no magical nutrient that exists in animals that cannot be artificially synthesized. Just because you don’t care about animal suffering doesn’t make it necessary or justified.

Even if that was true, you’re still killing other animals which is obviously more harmful/abusive to them than not giving them their favorite food instead of the same nutrients in a different package.

Ah yes, its the people that are against harming animals that are the real animal abusers.

Feeding an animal a nutrionally complete diet: abuse

killing animals: not abuse

It’s so funny that they’re the largest instance. Only see incredible decisions coming out of there.

from the OP

a pack of vegan burgers, these are more expensive than regular burgers!

I don’t think they meant fish burgers when they said regular burgers. And sugar isn’t generally considered a vegan substitute for an animal product.

Red meat and processed meat are classed as carcinogenic and have plenty of LDL cholesterol. Its not that hard to be healthier than that.

Does he think people are just switching their brains to ‘flow-state’? Did he hear about meditation for the first time? No idea what he’s talking about.

Crucially: let me have the damn files.

Why would I pay to use your awful webreader or streaming client when reader apps with good UI and quality video players exist.

Very cool that every institution will continue to act as if SSNs are private information and you can’t get a new number issued until after someone uses it to steal your identity.

Not every community wants to be a debate club.

Or you could, maybe, care about whats true instead of what’s convenient the same way the right does.

This doesn’t read as a literal quote to me. I’m feeling 50/50 that was what he was thinking and said something more appropriate vs actually saying that. He was on a podcast, presumably in a storytelling/jokey frame of mind.

Stop acknowledging that there is any nuance whatsoever wrt the invasion of ukraine, you’re scaring the libs.

edit: self determination? never heard of it. Surely it can’t be that both sides suck (unequally) because neither cares what the actual inhabitants of the disputed territory want. Russia is ontologically evil so if you identify as russian you don’t deserve rights.

If the dispute was reversed the libs would be cheering for the brave Ukrainian separatist fighters and the liberatory Ukrainian invasion.

folding it into a triangle before burning is the respectful way of disposing of at least the US flag. Just stuff it in the barrel and add lighter fluid.

When solar farms are more than like 0.01% of land utilization then maybe its worth caring about.

For the same land you can power a household or get like 14 pounds of beef. who cares.

Just install solar panels where its cheapest, which is going to be an empty field where you can install a ton and get better labor efficiency during the install. Making green energy more expensive to install only benefits fossil fuel companies.

This is just the paradox of tolerance with higher than usual stakes. If you believe he is an existential threat to American democracy and that American democracy is worth protecting with violence then you should be in favor of this.

If people actually believe he is going to end democracy but the only legitimate resistance is voting harder then we deserve to lose it.

Oh yeah, of course, people are opposed to genocide because it’s a psyop. Let me guess, Russia is behind it too.
