⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Special counsel Jack Smith and his team to resign before Trump takes office⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
How so? I’m trying to understand if you think these charges didn’t warrant an investigation in the first place, or you are only saying this in hindsight of Trump’s reelection.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US Elections question: Bernie Sanders said that the Democrats abandoned the working class, and the working class abandoned them. How is this true?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
If you get voted into power, lobbyists give you even more money.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US Elections question: Bernie Sanders said that the Democrats abandoned the working class, and the working class abandoned them. How is this true?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Think of this from his perspective: the Democrats put their faith in the idea that money wins elections, and if you can out-raise your opponent the votes will follow. Twice they conspired against Bernie in the primaries because of his platform: tackling wealth inequality, progressive tax reform, and overturning Citizens United v. FEC. They chose corporate interests over the working class because they valued money more than votes.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Trump wins the election thru fraud how can the democrats refute it and prove they won? Or will it just be like another Jan 6 and four years of whining like Trump?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Your scenario implies Trump lives to 98, and unless the preservatives in big macs are the key to longevity, I doubt he makes it that long.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft estimated Valve’s revenue in 2021 at $6.5bn Interesting to see another view on the scale of Valve’s business⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit is a shithole⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
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.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit is a shithole⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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.

Adventist study findings show inverse correlation between meat consumption and certain health risk factors.

Blue zones with the highest life expectancy all share very low meat consumption (less than 5 servings per month)..
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vegan dies from starvation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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.
