Pirate anything you want, and buy from anyone you want to support.

Beans. Not only about the most important food source, legumes are also natural nitrogen fixers for soil health.

Came in to say this. Bean chocolate!

Show me where any vegan has ever argued that these deaths are okay? Your argument is both a strawman and bad faith. It’s the equivalent of when people claim anticapitalists are hypocrites because they have no choice but to participate in the existing system to survive. Cheap.

Why are vegans in particular given blame for crop deaths, when it isn’t vegans who are doing the farming? We have veganic forms of agriculture that we advocate for, and practice in the case of veganic farmers and gardeners. But until that gains more traction all anyone can do is the best they can, with what they have access to - which is far less harmful and destructive than omnis.

No, they’re really not. What is wrong with you?

See the problem is the same as people who think it’s still funny to joke about abusing women. Even ignoring the offensiveness, we’ve heard it already. A million times. It’s old, really old, really uncreative. Boring.

Just like the shitty, thoroughly debunked crop deaths regurgitation. If you’re going to try debating vegans, at least take a few minutes to do some basic research, cause you have no idea how repetitive this is for us.

No, animal-burgers are definitely disturbing if you can see past your own bias.

Same. Plant-forward veggie burgers are great. Seitan is a revelation.

Because the animal ag industries are some of the biggest sponsors of the republican party. Eating animal products is a great way to directly support fascism.

Some do consider it vegan, same as the “freegan” subset. There’s even at least one influencer who is a bit infamous for it But there’s also a few problems with this line of reasoning. It still normalizes the idea of the consumption of animal products, so it’s a slippery slope at best. It’s also not scalable, as soon as probably even a modest proportion of people would adopt such a diet, demand would quickly start to surpass supply which would incentivise the artificial production of more road kill.

And then there’s just the why? of it. Like if we’re talking about extreme situations like starvation and poverty where there is literally no other choice, okay that would make sense. But otherwise, what is so wrong with eating plants that someone would go out of their way to eat carrion instead? With the likely putrefaction involved we are talking about literal self harm to avoid eating some good ol grains and beans.

About on par with usual omni mental gymnastics.

The main issue I’ve had is trying to share memes in that format via mms.

I dunno, hearing him talk makes me feel like I’m being cursed.

Almost. Kind of more like:

That peak oil never stopped looming just because we pretend it doesn’t exist. Finite resources are finite.

This. There are defined criteria as to what a real cult is, and once you have any familiarity with that, you realize that 99% of what people call “cultlike” is really just culture.

Yeah to be fair I don’t use it either. These days I tend to just look for editors with good markdown support.

I love orgmode to a point, but when I tried to learn how to do the more complex stuff, that syntax began to make my eyes bleed.

Emacs is available in Android now, right on F-Droid.

I don’t have plant-based grease, because I don’t eat foods high in saturated fats plant-based or not, and I almost never cook with oil (except for rare occasions like the popcorn with olive oil I had last night).

What exactly is unhinged and overdone about my comments?
