- Comment on Microsoft estimated Valve’s revenue in 2021 at $6.5bn Interesting to see another view on the scale of Valve’s business 2 months ago:
The really impressive thing about Valve is the amount of revenue they make with a relatively small head count. They have about 1/10 the number of employees as EA.

Haha, cool as in I have no beef with them. If you thought I meant “hip” I’ll just say I can’t judge since I’ve been out of that game for a while, as evidenced by my use of “hip” in a sentence.

Redditors are cool. It’s the admin that can eat shit. I’d still be on that site if they weren’t greedy fucks.

Thank God you’re finally here to tell everyone what they can and can’t post here.
- Comment on Vegan dies from starvation 3 months ago:
Interesting. You shared a cross sectional data analysis that criticizes other studies for not accounting for enough confounding variables, even though the Adventist study I shared already accounts for more variables.
The high life expectancy rates for Hong Kong have been attributed to much lower rates of smoking, and higher per capita wealth.
Again, I appreciate the concern, but I stopped eating meat 14 years ago and I’m doing great!
- Comment on Vegan dies from starvation 3 months ago:
I’m more interested in the supposed study correlating high meat consumption with longer life. Do you have one to support that claim, as I’ve provided two that seem counter to it?
- Comment on Vegan dies from starvation 3 months ago:
You’re assuming correlation implies causation. There’s also a direct correlation between life expectancy and per capita wealth, which you’re conveniently ignoring. Correcting for external factors, there’s been an association between vegetarian/vegan diets and lower prevalence of disease and obesity.
- Comment on Vegan dies from starvation 3 months ago:
So, instead of using data to decide your position, you decide your position ahead of time and ignore any information to the contrary that isn’t a decades long study? I would think the more reasonable position for you to take would be that you don’t know if eating animal products are necessary for long-term multigenerational health outcomes.
- Comment on Vegan dies from starvation 3 months ago:
The question was never “is meat healthy?” It’s “is eating animal products necessary for human health?” as you originally claimed. Are you still taking the position that animal products are inherently necessary for human health?
- Comment on Vegan dies from starvation 3 months ago:
By your logic, since you can’t produce a long term study of health outcomes for vegan populations, your claim is also void. Also, neither the article or I made any claims about the health effects of meat.
- Comment on Vegan dies from starvation 3 months ago:
I appreciate the concern, but I’ve already got one kid with another on the way.
My claim was that a plant-based (no animal products) diet can be nutritionally complete. I’m backing that claim up by citing non-animal sources of nutrients.
You told me I’m incapable of arguing in good faith in the same sentence as an ad hominem. You’re not just trolling me, are you?
- Comment on Vegan dies from starvation 3 months ago:
Haha. Did you unironically call me an NPC?
You made the blanket claim that humans need to eat animal products, yet every time you mention a necessary nutrient I provide non-animal sources, and your copy-paste statistics are blatantly misleading at best.
- Comment on Vegan dies from starvation 3 months ago:
You can get plenty of beta-carotine as well as preformed vitamin A on a plant based diet: www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/vitamin-a/.
Your 80% statistic has also been debunked. The number includes vegetarians, and the number one motivation cited was health. Saying people quit diets is not exactly groundbreaking news.
Anyway, I’ll also enjoy being healthy, strong, fertile and happy while also being vegan.
- Comment on Vegan dies from starvation 3 months ago:
I’m not coming up with anything. I saw that the majority of dieticians agree that with proper planning, a plant based diet is healthy, so I put the time into planning a diet that works for me. There’s nothing on your list that I’m not getting from non-animal sources.
Here’s a debunk of the list with sources: youtu.be/xhEstYpyhvc.
Dog food? Lol. Breakfast cereals, plant milks and breads are examples of fortified foods.
Here’s a study to back up what I said about iron absorption. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6940487/
Feel free to link a study attributing vegan diets and glasses if you would like to back up your anecdotal claim.

Are you in a survival setting??
- Comment on Vegan dies from starvation 3 months ago:
Please tell me which of these you wouldn’t feasibly get through a well balanced plant based diet? I see this thoroughly debunked copypasta constantly, and the assumptions it makes are laughable. It ignores critical things like fortified foods, nutrients in non-plants like mushrooms and yeast, and how absorption of vitamins can be enhanced (for example, vitamin C greatly enhances absorption of non-heme iron).
- Comment on Vegan dies from starvation 3 months ago:
There’s a huge difference between a plant based diet and only eating fruit, which this person did. A well balanced plant based diet is nutritionally complete.
