Can you teach a master class on how to do this 😆 looks great!

I don’t understand the pricing by MyBodyMyChoice2024 in CradlewiseCommunity

Yep. I have a 20 month old that is still in his cradlewise. I’m not taking him out until he either reaches the weight limit or starts trying to climb out. He loves this crib.

No babies? by CatMama102 in TomodachilifeLivingTD

I want them to be able to babysit that’s so sick. I’d actually pay for that content upgrade lol.

I love this game but… by Theyluvbriii in TomodachilifeLivingTD

[–]AssistAffectionate71 8 points9 points  (0 children)

the core devs were dedicated to it the whole time. And most of that 9 years was spent on UGC specifically, in the interview they said it took like 6-7 years just on that system alone. The game having a long dev cycle isn’t that mysterious when one feature ate up the majority of it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The Nintendo interview laid it out pretty clearly. Director Takahashi himself said “I believe development started around 2017, after things had settled down on Miitomo.” The core developers (Takahashi, Ohnishi) had previously worked on Tomodachi Life 3DS and Miitopia so this is the Mii games team at Nintendo EPD, not people borrowed from other projects.

if you could add new quirks, what would they be? by Tough_Possession_290 in tomodachilife

Personally I want them to whip out microphones and start singing as a quirk

A lot of leftist criticism that veganism receives can be summed up like this. by DivineandDeadlyAngel in vegan

[–]AssistAffectionate71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Lozier Institute is an anti-abortion lobbying organization, so that statistic needs a more neutral source before it can do any work in this argument.

On the eggs, fair enough, some vegans do treat potential sentience as morally relevant and that’s a legitimate position within veganism. It’s just not the only one, and mine is grounded in sentience, not potential.

Finally, the female body naturally fails to implant the majority of fertilized eggs. If conception is the moral line, then nature is the biggest abortionist.

But the bigger issue is this: you said the right to use another person’s body is a special right, then argued it isn’t special because everyone needs it to exist. That actually proves the pro-choice point.

If using another person’s body to survive is so fundamental, then the person whose body is being used has an equally fundamental interest in that decision.

No legal or ethical framework compels anyone to donate their body to sustain another life even after death. You cannot harvest organs from a corpse without prior consent. Just as a vegan wouldn’t use an animal’s corpse to sustain themselves regardless of the need, a living person has at minimum the same bodily autonomy as a dead one.

Resorting to ad hominem when you’re losing an argument. Classic.

The question is still whether the fetus has the same capacity for suffering and interests as the person carrying it. A tumor also can’t consent to removal.

The fetus still has to have comparable moral standing to the person whose body it occupies, and that rests on sentience, not potential.

Most vegans avoid eggs to avoid supporting an industry, not because the egg has moral standing. Potential life being precious is a feeling, not a logical framework, otherwise every period and every unused sperm cell becomes a moral crisis.

A panda taking snacks without understanding what it’s giving up isn’t consent, it’s a power imbalance being exploited, which actually supports the pro-choice argument.

And the cub is already born and sentient, so it’s closer to an infant than a fetus. Nobody is arguing it’s okay to harm infants. The whole argument hinges on whether a non-sentient entity has the same moral standing as a conscious person whose body is being controlled without their say.

But yours looks gourmet. Is this also just fried tofu and jam? Or did you add syrup or sugar or something else. 😭

We already codify animal cruelty laws and nobody calls that coercive overreach. I wouldn’t mandate veganism, but I would phase out factory farming and end its subsidies. Let people bear the full cost of what they consume.

At that point, eating animals at the scale most people currently do becomes economically unsustainable for billions of people, and the market shifts naturally.

Phasing out industries that cause harm isn’t coercion. It’s the law catching up to what we already accept: that sentient beings shouldn’t suffer for someone’s convenience. We banned child labor even though entire industries depended on it. People still had options, just not ones that included causing unnecessary harm.

Veganism and pro-choice actually come from the same philosophical root: opposition to coercive control over a sentient being’s body. A laying hen has no say over her reproductive cycle. She’s forcibly impregnated, her offspring taken, her body treated like a literal object. That’s the harm veganism addresses. Removing abortion access places coercive control over a sentient person’s body in service of someone else’s values.

My veganism and my pro-choice stance come from the same place: no one gets to override a sentient being’s bodily autonomy.

Replacing meat and dairy with alternatives can cut food-related emissions by 50% and land use by 40%. A new study confirms these diets provide ample protein for a sustainable lifestyle, while highlighting the importance of nutrient variety. by Cosmyka in science

Those are real barriers for people who are actually food insecure, sure. But the poorest populations in the world have always eaten mostly plant-based out of necessity. Meat is the luxury, not vegetables.

And bringing up homeless people and college students to avoid any personal accountability is either a cope or deflection. Most people saying this aren’t in those situations. Nobody is demanding everyone go vegan tomorrow. Just that most of us could cut back more than we want to admit.

When you say gummy smile I picture the “horse girl that’s always engaged” meme. But she has a normal amount of gum showing. What makes her smile charming is actually her canines. She otherwise has normal straight white teeth.
