lmfao this book is actually amazing and I have it. Honestly with how much I hate shopping and how little fresh greens last/how expensive they are it's actually pretty convenient being able to just pick stuff that's safe from the yard.

I'm waiting with baited breath for the day someone sees me picking weeds and asks what I'm doing. I'm going to look at them like they asked the silliest thing in the world and say "I'm vegan" without elaborating.

And when the evil bugs come in and spread they get the cute little bee vets in who carefully tend to them. Wait, not they don't! They plug the entrance with oily cloth, drench the hive in petrol and light it on fire.

We also know the bees don't really mind the comb being harvested because they don't try to sting or anything. Bee keepers famously never have to induce torpor and wear protective equipment to do it.

Anyway I'm a landlord and I know it's ethical because if the tenants didn't like it they could just leave, and sometimes they do!

it is though. You can't own stories. You can own the right to sell books or whatever about them in a particular market at a particular time but that's a legal contrivance.

Who's myths are official and who's non cannon? Are there fairy tales more cannonical than others? Which bits of Arthuriana are more real than the others?

Chant a dead language around whatever scrolls you like while wearing costumes but your ability to enforce some legal structure has no bearing on what is true.

Lol it doesn't matter. Do gooder derogation is a well studied phenomena. It's generally more important to people to protect their image of themselves as a good person than to actually be one by their own values.

We've all gotten frustrated at that person trying to get us to use guppy bags to filter plastics from clothing in the wash, or who was an early mover on reusable bags or whatever. Shit a lot of people probably simultaneously hate on people that leave dog poo behind while also having not gone back to pick up after their pets that time they left bags at home.

Almost everyone loves animals and hates people that hurt them for pleasure, but then goes and hurts them for pleasure. That's a fucking painful truth, it sucks to realise you're not fundamentally different from some horrible trophy hunter or whatever. It hurts to realise that the chicken you're eating has emotions just as vivid and real as that dog you love to pat on your walk to the bus stop.

Much easier to just hate on the people doing something different than to acknowledge it's not too difficult to change and having to look deep into yourself and ask some hard questions. Invent a cartoon where they're all self righteous do-gooders, probably rich and privileged with no notion of the real world. Then why listen? they are the enemy and the enemy is wrong.

The truth is we all have blood on our hands, almost nobody was done the service of being raised vegan. I've loaded chickens up on a truck and sent them off to die thirsty and confused myself. We're just the ones that chose to stop killing, because some fucking hero spent their energy and sanity making sure we couldn't look away from the horror.

Sorry if our jokes are too acerbic for you, but absolutely nobody is making carnist come in to a circlejerk and make arses of themselves because they found a fragment of the fragment of the world that doesn't cater to them.

All the best linalg libraries are in FORTRAN.

Pretty sure numpy hooks into them. I don't know anyone who uses computers for serious work that doesn't use FORTRAN. It's the best.

Yeah, the carnists really crawl out of the woodwork broadcasting their disregard of rules, norms, and context in order to try feel superior to people enjoying a short break from them.

Yes earthings, we are all the earthlings. We come from earth, we share a common heritage.

Cite me if I did you shiver looking for a spine to run up.

That will surely save them all!

you don't get it do you? You aren't even vegan and you think you know how to do it all. You are so selfish and self absorbed, their lives aren't real to you.

Every year around a trillion sentient beings live and die in horror. This happens in the vast majority of cases because people want to feel slightly more pleasure than they think they would feel if they ate beans.

Each one of these lives is a unique and beautiful thing, no more or less special than you or I. A brilliant, shining negation of the vast empty silence of the universe.

But chucklefuck here is more concerned about convenience than morality.

That's my problem.

If I say something heinous and you get mad at me that's an emotional argument.
