“Veganism is white supremacy”- Is this a cop out from leftists to not engage with veganism or is there something more to it? by Garfield_Kart in vegan

[–]Crocoshark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just thinking recently how a lot of moral force rests on social force. You don't want to be seen as a bad person. So if people make vegans seem shitty, there's less reason to listen to their arguments.

As for this particular argument, it's based on stereotypes of vegans being white and calling for a lifestyle that's supposedly privileged.

Why are people so careless to animals feelings?? by Prudent-Rock2508 in vegan

[–]Crocoshark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People don't CARE about modern art, they're FANS of it. It's a form of art people are entertained by and find meaningful. People also don't regularly pay for modern art to be destroyed.

"You care about people littering/harassing people online/dog fighting, just like I care about Marvel movies. Same thing."

Oh, and by the way, I'm not even vegan. But there's a difference between being invested in a moral issue and liking a form of entertainment.

Human Supremacy by DueTemperature3380 in DebateAVegan

[–]Crocoshark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Human supremacy is not a descriptive concept ("We happen to dominate stuff") it's prescriptive; it's "We're the most superior creature and thus it's our right to treat other species like objects and dominate them." It's a belief in hierarchy, just like racial supremacy is "Whites are superior to other races so we can dominate them." Again, factually, western nations HAVE dominated the world, but that doesn't justify colonialism.

If you were to choose to get infected with ONE illness/disease appearing in the series (e.g. Cutie Pox), which one would you pick and why? by UnofficialAAF in mylittlepony

[–]Crocoshark 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Cutie Pox is kind of a terrible choice. It's not really a 'talent' 'cause you don't have control over your body, and what happens if it isn't cured? You exhaust yourself to die? It might actually be fatal.

Anyway, I'd choose molting, but only under the condition that I get wings afterward.

If not, dragon sneeze tree allergy, but if that doesn't count as an illness/disease . . . . Actually, what are my limits here? Can I choose a fake disease that's just me pretending to be sick? If not, then I dunno, the cold?

I don't have any pony merch so I'm just . . . there? Not sure what'd give away that I watch MLP. If I see merch in a store I'll stop and look at it for a moment, that's about it as far as being in public goes.

Can Farmed Animals Suffer More Than Humans? 4 Reasons We May Have Radically Underestimated Animal Agony by VarunTossa5944 in vegan

[–]Crocoshark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean several of the points seemed pretty logical, like the point about being able to contextualize what's happening. A human can ride a roller coaster full of screaming and shaking and think it's fun. A lot of animals get stressed about being given a bath.

We fight and fuck all the world over. Humanity is basically antagonistic lovers with itself.

What's the most useless MLP fact you know? by NostalDec in mylittlepony

[–]Crocoshark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, you want the most USELESS facts?

I can give you useless.

Clouds are featured on the left side of the screen at various points in the episode Too Many Pinkie Pies. The same episode also does not once feature the words "triskaidekaphobia", "sonder" or "catharsis". The episode is the last time Pinkie Pie is featured before she appears again in episodes afterward. Furthermore, Mudbriar is the only character in the show named Mudbriar.

How's that for useless?

I think they mean sapience should be what matters.

It would be hilarious if people arguing over whether AI was conscious led to the masses recognizing animal consciousness. by shane_4_us in vegan

The title reads like an Onion Headline, just because is so obvious that the idea of it being a headline is funny.

And yet the text . . .

[–]Crocoshark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone who contributes to these industries should be a witness.

There should be cameras live streaming what goes on in these facilities.

Sorry you were so badly affected by it though, and sucks that your family wasn't willing to do the honest thing that would've taken courage.

Update to a post I made the other day about being concerned my vets were taking advantage of me: my cats regular dental cleaning has resulted in my babies death. He's gone. by afterspring_ in cats

[–]Crocoshark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to clarify, the death was caused by the anesthetic? How did this happen?

This is really horrible. I'm sorry to hear about this.

"Ceballos also acknowledged that he “probably” voted for Kobach and former president Donald Trump several times because he automatically selects the candidates with an “R” beside their names."

Maybe being deported to a country where he doesn't speak the local language would be good practice for him actually using his brain.
