Chikfila abuses animals

Oh yeah I do this, I’ll raise you that mine also sshs into my server to update the editor theme

Hey that’s pretty good, I’m gonna steal it. It might even be worth making a pullrequest to update swaylock to have a flag to do this, I use waybar and it has a lock inhibit button that I use before I start watching anything, but automating it like this is seems super nice

wait till they’re under the water to say that

Or use spotify from the browser

It’s still crazy to me that proton picked btc instead of monero for their wallet. It should’ve either been xmr only, or xmr + btc, like cakewallet does

Or at least motivation to get a vasectomy

Interesting, well thanks for the look into baiting tactics

The thing is, those people do have the arrogance you describe, and they think that anyone that abuses cats is bad/lesser/wrong/evil/crazy

I get what you’re saying.

Have you seen don’t fuck with cats? I haven’t, but from what I understand it’s a guy abusing kittens and posting it online, so people doxx him and go to great lengths to bring him to justice. Would you bait those people? Because I have a way lighter reaction than them to orders of magnitudes more animal abuse

I don’t think people who disagree with me are psychopaths. I think that given enough time and discussion I could convince most people that based on their own principles, veganism is the right thing to do. On the other hand, people who don’t give a fuck about how they affect others, would not be sympathetic to any line of reasoning I could think of. That’s all I was trying to say there

#3 is wrong (under normal circumstances, assuming the fluid was voluntarily given), and so obviously so that I’m going to assume you’re trolling and stop responding. Have a good one ✌️

do you disagree with all the ethical principles I mentioned, or the facts I listed? Or do you think that the conclusion doesn’t follow from the premises?

Maybe your point would stand if humans had been bred to massively over-produce milk and had their babies taken from them so even more milk could be taken from them for profit and they had no agency in how their life went, from being bred in captivity and then impregnated in order to cause them to produce more milk to being killed when they stop producing milk.

This is a stupid take, even for you

No, veganism as a conclusion is a combination of facts and basic moral understanding, principles like “live and let live”, “do no harm”, and the golden rule, do unto others as you would have them do to you. If you’re a psychopath who doesn’t care how much harm, death, and suffering is caused in order to get sensory pleasure, I probably can’t convince you why veganism is worthwhile

I think there is vegan formula, and using breastmilk is vegan since it’s consensually given, including breastmilk shared by other mothers

The difference between veganism and religion is that one is based on facts, the other is not.

• It’s true that other species of animals are sentient, they have nervous systems similar enough to ours that we know they can feel pleasure and pain.
• It’s true that we kill billions of them per year.
• It’s true that the vast majority of them are factory farmed (74% worldwide, 99% in the US).
• It’s true that humans at all stages of life can thrive on a properly planned vegan diet, according to most major health organizations.
• It’s true that animal agriculture is extremely inefficient and loses a lot of calories from crops being put towards feeding animals (see: trophic levels)
• It’s true that animal agriculture has a huge impact on the environment compared to feeding crops directly to humans.

so get out of here with that nonsense that veganism is religious zealotry. I don’t have time to cite a source for each point, but they’re all super easily verified. Veganism is looking at the impact of your choices with clear eyes and choosing compassion over personal pleasure. It’s choosing to live and let live, rather than forcing death and misery on other species because you like the taste of their flesh and secretions.

Yeah I only really use it for personal stuff for that reason. There’s a vscode plugin, but last time I tried it it was really slow
