Yeah but that first ranked season before everyone figured out the new meta was so fire.

I think you misunderstand me, I’m comparing the mushroom claim to an equally silly claim that often rears it’s head in these discussions, not saying it happened here.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 weeks ago:
This thread is actually fantastic, I’ve never seen so much open discussion about veganism between vegans and non-vegans with so little malice so I’d say you hit pay dirt.
I like your utilitarian determination of pain more than most utilitarians, who require a complete nervous system and therefore eat shellfish. Your test has a higher standard than theirs, because shellfish still retract when poked nervous system or not.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think that paying for it or not paying for it changes anything about the ethics of how it came to be.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 weeks ago:
Compared to all life on Earth cats and bees are almost the exact same thing. I’m not a bot, I’m a human with ideas that are apparently so challenging to your own that you immediately resort to ad hominem.

ITT: Honey-eating vegans getting ethically roasted by non-vegans.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 weeks ago:
There are at least a dozen inter-related reasons to be vegan and no hard line of what diets are and aren’t vegan. All vegans check at least one of those boxes, many of us check multiple. Some vegans only care about avoiding the suffering of animals who experience life through a nervous system, therefore will eat shellfish which have no nervous system. Honey is excepted usually by utilitarian vegans doing logical gymnastics to claim that the way in which it’s farmed does no harm to the bees, or that while it harms the bees it doesn’t hurt their nervous systems and cause them direct pain.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 weeks ago:
That’s cause we don’t, the only time I’ve ever heard this mushroom fud come up is from non-vegans. “Did you know that grass screams when you cut it?”-tier territory.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 weeks ago:
There is far more debate about veganism within veganism than there is outside of veganism.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 weeks ago:
Yeah all of those things sound pretty likely in most honey farming settings.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 weeks ago:
And my cat always keeps an excess of food in her bowl. If I fed her only the amount she actually ate, she would just eat less. These are evolved survival behaviors.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 weeks ago:
Which is why when someone asks me “Well what about indigenous tribes? Almost all of them hunt, are you doing to tell them they’re morally wrong?”. No, no I am not, because they are not morally wrong. They’re hunting for survival, in relative harmony and reciprocity with the ecology that completely enveloped every aspect of their social development.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 weeks ago:
Dumpster diving still relies on industrial agriculture happening and doesn’t scale to more than a small portion of the population, some of whom have no other choice but to do so.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 weeks ago:
It’s also responsible for a not-insignificant portion of the meat industry’s carbon footprint.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 weeks ago:
Yeah veganism isn’t a single set of beliefs, it’s a range of practices and the people who do those practices do so for a rather wide variety of sometimes-overlapping reasons.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 weeks ago:
The problem with the carveouts that utilitarian vegans make for honey is that they’re largely falsifiable feel-good industry apologia. The claim that harvesting honey doesn’t harm bees is complete bollocks, really it’s in the same realm of the claim that milking a cow doesn’t harm the cow because she can always make more. The hive does need to downsize and drones do have to die to accommodate the loss of surplus, workers do forage further and compete more with other insects for nectar, while honey harvesting rarely harvests at the low extraction levels claimed to be harmless. If it were harmless the bees would never bother to make it, it takes a shitload of energy for them to produce it. It’s turn-brain-off dissonance territory but because Peter Singer said it’s OK they’re all willing to make the huge leap in logic to eat something that could just as easily have been maple syrup or agave nectar.

You’re taking a hit!
- Comment on Why Should I... 2 weeks ago:
Especially funny because while there are other things vegetarians will eat that vegans won’t (Other dairy, eggs), cheese is actually physically addictive because the same protein that makes it curdle breaks down through digestion into a substance that acts like dopamine. It really is the “one ring” of veganism and often the last / hardest thing to give up when one goes vegan.

Bro this is a weird fucking hill to die on. You sound really fucking weird right now. Relax on the terrorism accusations.

The draft will never happen because all the commanders would get fragged.
- Comment on Don't Worry About Retirement, Millennials 3 weeks ago:
So you’re saying I still might have a chance to frag a commander, after all?
- Comment on Cannot tell you how many times I have asked this question 3 weeks ago:
Short guy in the last photo is Derek Simnett, Canadian vegan who has a youtube channel with a lot of fantastic easy vegan recipes and guides that really helped me not be a total disaster when I went vegan. Highly recommend.

It’s just precedent for the economic effects, I don’t think they meant it to be a complete analogy or a point of advocacy.
- Comment on "No precedent in American history!" NYT would have defended child labor. 5 weeks ago:
And as for abolishing an industry that seemed too big to fail, while having already been abandoned by the rest of the world as horribly immoral… We do have one very big precedent.
- Comment on Is it creepy when lemmings go digging through post votes to see who voted how on different posts and comments? 5 weeks ago:
“I went through your post history and so now I feel confident stereotyping you” is a borderline temp ban red flag, imo. It definitely indicates that the person is tilted hard enough, for one reason or another, to not take the discussion rationally and maybe need a break. If your community excludes certain harmful opinions then a post history check can be helpful for moderation, but using it to ad hominem someone in a discussion forum where all the important information should be in the discussion is flame war tactics and can lead to stalking.
Usually doesn’t happen here to the degree it happens on reddit, but literally this week I had someone do it to try and claim that I hate cars because I post in /c/fuckcars@lemmy.world, even though I own two cars. Indeed, it was a stupid topic that dependably gets some people irrationally incensed, which primed this guy to try and make it personal.
- Comment on Anon doesn't have a plan 5 weeks ago:
Living out of a car or living on friend’s couches is considered homelessness. It’s why some people say unhoused instead.
- Comment on Anon doesn't have a plan 5 weeks ago:
The government has wasted at least 176 Billion dollars in Iran over the past three months, the leader of our society has siphoned at least 2 Billion in the past two years, data centers with near zero product are draining the water and electricity from hundreds of communities around the country while playing hot potato with hundred of billions more, and you’re calling your peer a mooch for feeling unable to participate.
- Comment on Anon doesn't have a plan 5 weeks ago:
I’ll be honest bud, I’m 40 and have continuously held a job since I was 14. But given the choice between destitution and your plan, I’d choose destitution. The parasite in this society isn’t fragile souls not made for this abuse.
