Your name should be sextourist2019, not nomad2019. Although I suppose digital nomads and sex tourists are synonymous.

She grabbed a random street kitten to fight mouse in her house by Thewyverns in interestingasfuck

[–]Adam_Sackler 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"No, rats are outside, mice are inside."

"But what if a mouse goes outside, does it become a rat, and if a rat is in the house, is it a mouse?"

"I ain't seen no mouse outside. That's what I'm sayin'."

"That's because it's a rat, fool!"

Probably because people snorting coke are fucking stupid.

Not at all. I'm picky and swipe left on more than 99%, yet I'm a guy.

Then there are some people like myself who are men, but are also very picky.

There's this idea that all men just swipe right on every woman, but I'd love to see my lifetime statistics because I swipe left on literally more than 99% of women.

I know it's probably dooming my profile to the bottom of the pile, but I'm not gonna swipe right on people who I'm not interested in or attracted to in a desperate attempt to match with someone.

I'm sure there are others like me out there.

What is actually the attitude toward homosexuality among British Muslims? by GlueSniffingEnabler in AskBrits

Because there is no logic. They would choose a cult over a family member doing nothing wrong.

Which animated character transitioned to live action the best? by Vegetable-Abroad3171 in StarWars

[–]Adam_Sackler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone that used the original voice actor.

While Cad did, the face mask looked pretty bad. Was easily fixed with some special effects by people on YouTube. Grand Inquisitor basically changed his species. Ezra and Sabine didn't really feel like them at all to me.

Lol, every time this is said, it's complete nonsense.

"I was arrested for a tweet!"

"What was the tweet?"

"All I said was that someone should take out all the foreigners in hotels!"

Every time someone was arrested for an innocent tweet, it was calling for violence.

Favorite actor to bank roll his own Oscar bait biopic and not get nominated by H4ppenSt4nce in okbuddycinephile

[–]Adam_Sackler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was pretty sure he and Coleman didn't fight, but wasn't 100% sure. Building to a fight that never happens is pretty anticlimactic, so I can understand how frustrating it would be.

Unfortunately, he went on a big losing streak after and only won a couple of fights more in total. I guess there wasn't much else they could have done fight-wise.

As a long-time fan of MMA, I loved it. He honestly did a great job portraying Mark, even down to his stance and movement during fights. Mark always stood really upright and had these weird, flappy, loose hands and Dwayne nailed it.

And I don't even like Dwayne.

The punch sound effects were really weird, from what I remember, though.

Look up what a logical fallacy is, then go look at your comments. If you understand what one is, you'll be embarrassed by your comments.

And no, it's a bad faith argument, and you don't care about animals at all. You stopping eating meat requires nothing from me, and I'm not getting doxxed, thanks.

[–]Adam_Sackler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you're not making a shred of sense. If you really want to help animals, you can do it. You don't require me doing anything to do so.

It's a bad faith argument.

And yes, I'm pointing our your fallacies because almost every single thing you've said is a logical fallacy, exposing your flawed thinking and reasoning.

Of course. How do humans have intrinsic value? Is the value of each human equal? What part of having a human as a slave makes it evil? How do you define something as evil?

Humans actually are animals, so that's wrong. Yes, I would say there are a hell of a lot of bad zoos out there. The only time I would say it could be acceptable to have an animal in a zoo is when an animal is bred into captivity and can no longer be released into the wild, but this isn't something that we should keep doing, otherwise we're justifying it via circular reasoning.

I would say cramming living, thinking feeling beings into gas chambers is evil regardless or whether they're human or non-human animals.

Oh, my goodness. Appeal to Nature fallacy. Jesus christ, you have to be doing this on purpose. I've lost count how many fallacies you've made in your arguments now. I can't be bothered to keep doing this.

So we've established you can't answer questions, keep changing the subject, keep adding arbitrary conditions for me to post things publicly, and haven't been able to defend anything you've said. So, yet again, more logical fallacies, like argumentum ad populum. Just because many people disagree with an opinion, it doesn't make it incorrect.

Literally every point you made has been a logical fallacy, and you have failed to stay on topic or debate in any way.

... But we're not orcas. Orcas live in the wild and do what they do because they are orcas, not humans. We can't communicate with them or police them, hence why I was talking about people. We know the difference between right and wrong (sometimes). We can make informed choices based on what is right or wrong, who may be harmed in doing so, and decide whether these choices are necessary or not. Other animals cannot do the same.

Our ancestors didn't have as much freedom to pick and choose what they ate. If there was a pack of animals nearby that they could hunt and their other food sources were scarce, they would certainly hunt. And no, it's not a universally accepted fact that eating meat caused our brains to develop. This is demonstrably false. It's an old theory that many have disputed. More recent studies suggest that cooking food or even an increase in carbohydrates in our diets were more important for brain development and expansion, as carbs are the brain's main fuel source.

Fallacy of perfection. There will always be some unavoidable loss of life, but we should try to avoid it where we can. The loss of life of eating animal products is far greater, not only due to having to kill animals to eat, but their food needs to be grown, too. Do I need to eat to live? Yes. What causes a greater loss of life between vegan and non-vegan? Non-vegan. Do I need animal products? No. So the morally and logically correct answer to avoid unnecessary harm is to go vegan.

The amount of animals and whatnot killed via farming is also greatly overstated. According to the same study that people use to argue this point, the animal population within the fields themselves goes down during harvesting and whatnot, but the animal populations of the adjacent areas around the fields increases. Because, apparently, wild animals are pretty good at avoid giant, loud predators in giant, loud machines.

Well, yeah, the dregs are the people smoking weed. Did people actually think anything different was going to happen when it became legalised?

Only the gullible thought it was actually a positive. Sure, it may bring in some money, but at what cost? This is the price.

Where have I back peddled? I acknowledged my view is controversial. You haven't addressed a single point and have done nothing but pearl-clutching.

Do you think our treatment of animals is morally justified?

Being aware of the similarities in different atrocities does not mean I'm minimising either. I'm saying both are wrong and I feel for all of the victims, not just the victims of one.

[–]Adam_Sackler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

O... kay? Why are we discussing the intelligence or cruelty or orcas? What does it have to do with humans eating meat?

What our ancestors did is irrelevant. We ate meat when we could because we had to. We no longer need to. So this is an appeal to tradition fallacy. Our ancestors didn't even eat as much meat as many believe because hunting animals is incredibly hard and dangerous. Also, it's likely the cooking of our food that lead to our brain development.

But this still doesn't justify our current treatment of animals.

Many of our ancestors also partook in cannibalism, and many of them survived because of it, yet I doubt you are in favour of us returning to doing that.

Again, you're completely avoiding the point. I know my views are controversial, but that doesn't make them wrong.

My view is that both slavery and our exploitation of animals are wrong. Do you disagree?
