- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 week ago:
I pointed out self-preservation to point out that vegans don’t go around attacking poor people and don’t expect people to keep their principles in those situations. I made a choice I don’t expect other people to make.
Then literally the very best sentence, you contradict yourself.
I point my criticisms at the people I know in real life who shop at the exact same stores I do and make similar amounts of money, but still use poor people as an excuse not to change their own behavior.
You claim to be poor, claim to not attack people are poor, then chastise people who are poor for not making the same choices that you do. You are a hypocrite. Have a nice day.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 week ago:
You literally asked me the question and are now chastising me for my answer.
Yes, because you claim to be poor yet still call being vegan a lifestyle choice. And you chastise others in your position for not making that choice. Poor people don't get to make those choices. Poor people do whatever it takes to survive. Poor people live on that desert island every single day and have to make difficult decisions. Poor take whatever they can get and are greatful for it. Poor people don't have the privilege to turn down food.
Maybe begin to recognize your own privilege before telling other people what to do.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 week ago:
Wow...so you've been so poor that you can only afford rice and beans, and you've been offered free food that you turned down because it wasn't vegan? Really? See, that's the kind of smugness OP was talking about. You put you're veganism above securing food, and you're proud of it. You willingly sacrificed your self-preservation for your principles. And now you're advertising it.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 week ago:
What if I can’t afford those things, still eat rice and beans, but I tell people I’m vegan to avoid awkward social interactions?
But would you? Would you really turn down free food simply because you're vegan? Would you really tell people you're vegan to avoid an "awkward social interaction" when offered free food? If so, that makes you privileged. Being able to pick and choose food makes you privileged, whether it's vegan or not. That's the difference.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 week ago:
Congratulations, you're finally getting it. They are two different people. There are people that eat vegan because they have no choice. Those people are not privileged. There are people that call themselves vegan and make sure everyone knows they are vegan. Those are the vegans the original comment was talking about, which someone took offense to. That's why I pointed out the difference.
It took a little effort, but at least you got there.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 week ago:
I didn't say that. I said if you're buying the vegan substitutes and advertising that fact, that makes you privileged. I've seen it many times. There are even some in this post. People that eat vegan because they have limited choices don't advertise it. People that want to feel superior over others will express how much of a vegan they are.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 week ago:
Those aren't the vegans that most people are talking about. Being poor and having to eat vegan is different from being vegan because you want to stand out from everyone else with your vegan black bean soy burger with vegan cheese on a vegan sprouted whole wheat bun. If you can afford the overpriced "vegan" versions of typically non-vegan foods,and complain about your struggles being vegan, that's privilege.
When you're poor, you don't advertise the fact that you're eating vegan. You just make rice and beans because it's the absolute cheapest food available. You'll take meat and non-vegan when it's available. But at the very least, you'll survive on rice and beans. It's generally not something that people are proud of.

MLM? This is likely human trafficking. MLMs will gladly take your money, but the face to face interactions are at seminars well after you're hooked on the scam. Traffickers will entice you into "training" at one of their facilities right away.

- Comment on Why do we castrate animals instead of giving them vasectomies? 1 month ago:
For a cat that you are personally paying to have neutered, they will do anything you want. There are options to just surgically sterilize and leave everything intact. But that's not only much more expensive, it also leaves their behavior the same which isn't always desirable. Unless you enjoy a male to spraying all over your house, that is.
But for a farmer that has to sterilize a herd, they aren't spending the time and money on a vet to come and surgically neuter every animal they have. A rubber band is cheap and can be done by the farmer, and a vet only has to be called if an infection happens. It's been done for centuries. No one is going to spend 50 times the amount of money if they don't have to.
- Comment on Why do we castrate animals instead of giving them vasectomies? 1 month ago:
You're still cutting into tissue, introducing a potential infection vector, and then need to delicately cut and clamp small vessels before stitching it back up vs stretching a rubber band with a special tool and then waiting a while. The skill level involved isn't anywhere near the same.

So it's been a week. Cloudflare isn't in the news anymore. No one on this site is talking about the incident anymore. Brittany Pietsch has done nothing but complain and "hit back" at the comments 4 days ago. And the stock price has gone up.
I don't expect you to acknowledge any of this, but knowing that I was completely 100% right is reward enough.
- Comment on Do i need to install a driver? 3 months ago:
The real question is...why are the data lines connected to anything in these chargers, let alone connected to the CAN Bus? There's no need for security is you just don't have access. Something tells me either the company doesn't like their customers, or the bus driver was just a dick.
- Comment on Cloudflare Employee records her final meeting where HR tries to fire her 3 months ago:
What happens to Brittany Pietsch at this point is on Brittany Pietsch. It's up to her to show how she can be a valuable employee.
This will have absolutely no effect on the share price. To think that laying off 40 people out of a huge organization, even if one went "viral" for a few days, will have any effect is wishful thinking. Speculating on the possible effects is only an exercise for the people that want to feel outrage over something. People in this thread are talking about having PTSD from episodes like this. It's just a whole lot of complaining that will go nowhere, just like it has for decades. Cloudflare customers will not care about this, and that's all that really matters. And unlike Reddit, Cloudflare hasn't pissed off their products and drove them away to other platforms. The company will be fine...

- Comment on Cloudflare Employee records her final meeting where HR tries to fire her 3 months ago:
No, it has huge legal connotations for her. If she had a wrongful dismissal case, then she should have brought the video and the documentation to a lawyer instead of blasting it out to the world. Now the legal department that has a team of lawyers working to advise the CEO and making sure she doesn't have a case, whether she actually had one or not. That's why it will be reported as fired without cause. If she was told she was fired with cause but it's reported as without cause and she can still claim employment insurance, then she has no case. If she had kept her mouth shut and let them process the termination, she might have had something combined with the video. Now she has nothing, and this will be forgotten by next week.
Patience is a virtue, especially when you're being fired.
- Comment on Cloudflare Employee records her final meeting where HR tries to fire her 3 months ago:
To get ahead of it and control the narrative. They were publicly accused of a wrongful dismissal. That has huge legal connotations, whether she realized that or not. But the corporation has all their legal ducks in a row. She hasn't exposed anything but her own inexperience. Really, if she did have a wrongful dismissal case, she likely overplayed her hand by publishing the video so soon. She'll get employment insurance, but that's all she'll get at this point.
