Human reproduction is the biggest con. The worst thing is, we’re the ones fooling ourselves.

The question was, what KIND of shithead. The authors expected to find it was narcisistic people, but they turned out to be wrong, it was an entirely different kind of shithead. When you are dealing with a shithead, it is important to know what kind of shithead you have on your hands. This is good science.

If you read the article, you’ll find that they expected the results to show that people were “attention seekers”, but in fact they found that they were NOT trying to get attention and manipulate people’s view of them the way narcisists do. They don’t want attention, they actually want to HURT people. That’s a big, big difference.

Oh, leave people not harming anyone alone. They are not obliged to play with you if they don’t want to, grow up and deal with it.

It’s not up to you to decide what that means. They are allowed and empowered to decide for themselves what “being Canadian” means. And if it means staying the fuck away from you and never, ever interacting, well that makes perfect fucking sense from where I sit.

What a tortured take. A loaded gun in a fucking glovebox absolutely IS a problem.

As proud as we all are of you and your brave transition which is just so relevant right now, we have actual clinical data and decades and decades of observational data that says is does have a meaningful impact on someone’s body.

It’s not an accident you don’t notice!! You are being intentionally manipulated to be a profitable and guilt-free consumer, but also, you’re being told lies you want to believe. Things look entirely different once you successfully pull your head out of your ass and psychologically take responsibility for the atrocity to sentient, sapient creatures that you are causing.

Have you ever considered that milk is, like, MILK?

jerkface, 1 month ago

No, it is not automatically a strawman. It’s only such if it was intentionally contrived to support a particular position. An imaginary person used in a socratic dialog is clearly not automatically a strawman, for example. That would be tantamount to saying Socrates himself (potentially an imaginary person used by Plato for argumentative purposes) is nothing but a strawman.

Not only was the meme not a strawman, it was an incredibly common conversation that happens in real life dozens of times every day.

Are you… serious? They have no problem with it BECAUSE they are baby animals! The hormones are IN THE MILK FOR THE BABIES. That’s WHY babies drink milk, why mothers ONLY PRODUCE MILK FOR BABIES, why no other creature on earth drinks the milk of a mammal when they are not a baby. Like holy fuck, how do people think mammals work??

Funny how there is no alternative method of reducing or reversing the growing wealth disparity presented. The class of people who have done better than not only every other Canadian but virtually everyone else on Earth since the last world war that they ALSO profited from is telling us it is unfair to them while a growing number of people cannot eat and house themselves any longer. The very reason people cannot afford to survive is because the top is taking a larger portion of our productivity every single year.

Who are you talking to??

I was already sick of this shit the first time I saw a 1GB harddisk, a Quantum Bigfoot using a 5.25" form factor. Massive thing. Could fit a whole day of a comprehensive USENET feed.

This is /c/vegan – I think you can take it as read that we have already had that conversation many many many times, and it is safe to consider other aspects of the effects of carnism.

It’s just a trademark at this point. Someone else bought up the Coleco brand, same deal. There used to be a bit of Infogrames DNA in the Atari mix, but I can’t imagine there are any people from back when still there.

Then what’s the fucking point.

At the risk of insulting your intelligence, it’s to reduce the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere using economic controls.

DayZ meets Rust? So… basically… DayZ or Rust?

We should be paying you for this deep analysis.

I mean it more in the sense of, “go vegan, get hated by everyone.” It’s not the right, it’s everyone right of you… In other words, a fundamental aspect of human psychology. :-/

What do you mean, “did”?

The Mennonite rural communities near me are all absolutely dependent on bikes to maintain their lifestyle.

Housing cooperatives, condominiums, and other forms of social housing are corporations.

They are talking about the history of being left handed; how it was misunderstood, and how (by analogy) introversion is misunderstood today.
