- Comment on Am I allergic to my dog, and if so, what solutions do I have? 1 week ago:
I would absolutely advise talking to a doctor about this. That very much sounds like an allergy, and although there are many meds that may help, none of us online can safely advise them for you, you really do need a prescriber with access to your medical records/bloodwork for that.
As far as first steps go, regularly taking OTC allergy meds and developing a daily cleaning schedule + filters for the bedroom + keeping your fog off the bed at fhe very least, and out of the bedroom entirely ideally, will help. Also frequently bathing your dog.

You’ve a winning argument, to be sure! Not sure where I quantified how much I think hollywood influences culture but okay.
FWIW, obviously popular media both is influential and responds to culture. “Hollywood” really shouldn’t be treated as a singular entity if we’re trying for a semblance of legitimacy. This is really quickly going to fall into a discussion of the role of the audience and how that’s changed in the digital era (vs. when Aristotle first brought it up…), and neither of us care enough to suffer through thay. Suffice to say it’s not cut and dry, and beyond that I dont know any better than you do what specific impact they have (and neither do they).

This is a real Im14AndThisIsDeep meme. More people have access to platforms for their creative work than at any other point in human history, if you aren’t seeing it then you’re not really trying to find it. It’s not hollywood, but hollywood doesn’t define culture (as much as they’d like to think they do…)

Poor word choice on my part, will freely admit that. The veg population of inda in is roughly larger than the entire US population, which is the much more useful statistic.

But probably from a distance. Chickeboos aren’t the best for, you know, close-up cherishing.
You know why. - Comment on Honey 4 weeks ago:
This is a very common argument and it’s a little shortsighted, because the answer is broadly “yes”. Reducing the number of cows/chickens/etc in the world is a net positive, and would only require us to stop force breeding them like the villains from some kind of degenerate poultry hentai. Allowing the species to reduce in population is only of benefit to the species (cough humans cough) and is overall desirable. Keeping some in zoos would be fine, maintaining the native wild populations is also a good plan, small scale farms (“family” or “hobby”) farms where they don’t brutalize the animals is also a feature of most vegan utopias. Take india, where most of the population is vegan: there are still cows on farms, cow-derived produce is still available, it’s just the cows aren’t kept in American-style stock farms.
YMMV, and like any ideology there are other opinions with equally valid outlooks, this is just what I see most often. (full disclosure, I am not a vegan (there’s plenty of evidence to that in my post history), I just sleep with a lot of vegans and quite like chana masala)

“It’s complicated”.
It’s the same category of disputes as eggs, or milk, being vegan under certain circumstances The argument is that rescued farm animals have been so warped by human intervention that it’s actively harmful for you to not use their produce - dairy cows can in rare cases die, and otherwise will just be miserable, if left unmilked. Chickens lay too many eggs, and leaving unf. chicken eggs in the coop can lead to the chickens learning to eat their own eggs, so you have to remove them. I don’t hold a position on these claims, I’m just reporting what I see come up in the argument. Bees fall into the same sort of category, they’ve been so selectively bred that they now produce far more honey than they can possibly use, so removing and eating some of it helps to mitigate the negative impact that humans have had on the creatures.
Regardless though: cows, chickens and bees are all still animals. I don’t think any vegans are gonna argue that one.

Yeah, it’s completely ethical to steal from big corporations. They steal from you every single day. Their entire existence is based on the amoral exploitation of other humans. Other people, small businesses, a very very few medium-large corporations, it’s not ethical to steal from. Nor a friend, or stranger, or small business, etc. for the same reason.
I feel like this isn’t a particularly hard concept.

- Comment on Why did my bus driver want me to not pay the fare and instead just "TAKE A SEAT!!!" 1 month ago:
Possibly because that bus system has no fare, or they were having an exasperating day, or you are so bad at paying a fare that its easier just to have you sit down?

If you watch olympic sprinters, they’re bent over to the same extent. I’m pretty drunk so this explanation might suck, but the front-heavy weight distribution that comes with it means its much easier to propell yourself forwards while sprinting.
Of course, you can’t hold your arms like that, it was just for ease of animation. But it’s not 100% totally and all-consumingly bullshit. Just like. Mostly bullshit.

Yep that’s all true, but they’ll pump it into the ground anyways because “venting nuclear fusion byproducts into the atmosphere” is going to go down really poorly with the “I hate and fear the things I don’t understand” crowd.
- Comment on End nuclear fusion! 1 month ago:
The amount of helium produced is truly miniscule, in the order of a few cubic centimeters. They’ll just pump it into the ground somewhere, assuming we ever get fusion working
