  Door dash knows who it is though and I garuntee they work with cops.

  Some things of the comments literally boil down to “just let the patriarchy continue and let the men keep pushing women out of certain fields”

  I don’t see how that is actually progressive. It has similar vibes to when after the election a whole bunch of people started saying to just throw trans people under the bus and basically run a republican for the next one.

  You should go to a doctor if you haven’t already.

  This is just not true. When my wife’s family moved to my home state they all though that the water tasted “sweet”. Good tasting water definitely exists.

  If you have the money for it a water bottle with a filter (even just the carbon Brita ones) improve the taste immensely. I use an Epic water filter for everything and it makes nearly all water taste good*.

  • The only exception I had was the Atlanta airport I have no clue what the fuck was going on their but the water was disgusting.

  Also worth noting: don’t use a filtered water bottle for actually filtering water that has contaimints you are actually worried about consuming; none except for grayl actually match their claimed results with third party testing.

  I didn’t called vegans religious I said they argued like religious people. Thank you for making that point for me actually.

  Its easy to focus on more than one thing but it is impossible to care about everything at once, last time I tried to do that I simply stopped caring about anything for 4 years.

  Where’s the stat for 15-20% for animal emissions? I’m seeing ≈10% for all agricultural and about ≈60% of that from animals.

  I don’t really get the waste of calories as a point against eating meat? I don’t think that we have to be perfectly efficient with all of the things that we use and on top of that the problems with hunger that we experience are unrelated to the total amount of calories we have available and rather the distribution of them.

  Yes vegans only use it descriptively and it is never used in a way to imply in short hand that they are bad people. Never. I watched the vegan sub on reddit for over a year so you might want to try that on someone who hasn’t seen the way that some vegans talk about people who eat/use animal products. Some people use veganism as a weapon against other people to feel superior I’m not saying it’s you but its a thing that you should be aware actually does exist in your camp like I’m aware that there are people that seem to think eating meat makes them a big strong manly man.

  Its more because they argue like religious people than someone genuinely trying to convince me. I genuinely do kinda agree that if you want to be as moral as possible you should be vegan. But to be entirely honest I just don’t care about animal suffering that much when there are so many issues that affect people and my morality is basically completely human centric.

  And inventing what is effectively used as a slur against omnivores really does diminish the idea that they are simply “doing the right thing”. I am not saying that the term carnist is a slur for clarification just that in some vegan communities it is used in the same way that one would be used.
