I would never click a link from a bad faith arguement in my life. The meat industry is hurting and you’re a weak little pawn.

Edit: the user commie is, at best, a troll. The graph they have shown for meat production is simply a reflection of the growong world population. Meat is hurting and the people who work that industry aren’t doing well, as in this fellow.

My in-laws are always doing that, too. They’ll even spend money on things knowing fully we wont consume them, only to pout. We have a bunch of decoritive imported goods, lol.

Of course spending trends affect the market. Meat processing facilities are slowly closing all over.

Not that this bullshit, empty-headed comment warranted a reply.

Your skepticism based on nothing. Giving them your money supports their negative impact.

And then will come the time the doctor forbids most of these but you still can’t have falafel because it’s deep fried.

One of the things that made it hardest for me was being teased and picked on by my family, while I wasn’t asking anything from them. I just didn’t want meat with dinner. It was nonstop anytime I showed my face, and if I spoke I was spoken over and ignored. It made me very antisocial, and I didn’t adhere to my values. Then almost twenty years later I did and I’ve gained a bunch of weight because I’m comfortable while I eat.

I love american chinese food so much, but the last place I got Buddah’s delight was definitely a bunch of canned stuff mixed in a bowl with the saddest fried tofu ever. I have messed up some tofu and this was worse.

Like most things, you learn as you go. I just learned my dishsoap isn’t vegan, but I already have it, I’m not throwing it away now. I just wont buy it again. I’ll be checking the next soap I buy. Each new thing needs to be researched. I’m just more comfortable with my choices than I was before.

Peer pressure is pretty rude, though. One ribbing is fine, but after that it’s just pride and bullying.

I thought that was the joke at first.

I believe we don’t want to face the adversity of judging the world in front of us so we ponder “god/no god” to not think about the fact that insurance literally began as a scam or that hospitals can legally extort you for all your worth and it isn’t a fair fight or that mental healthcare is least attainable to those who need it most.

No. There isn’t a decisive being weighing our souls. We weigh our own conscience, or we don’t. Shit is unfair, but you do your best. That way when you feel like shit you know you’re really trying. You can role play a big source of approval if you want, just don’t be a predator about it.

It’s almost enough money to live forever.

This is the thread that made me make an account and what a pain it was to find without having saved it anywhere. I’ve been holding out for someone to say it, but havwn’t seen it specifically.

Single use plastics. I still remember the weird feeling of doom when learning the world population and making the quick relation to disposable plastics, constantly being told “but it’s only a little bit.” A little bit for several thousand years, per billions, is too many bits.
