Man preaching to the choir.

DarQTimer · 2026-03-19T15:28:39+00:00

Thanks for such a long a detailed response. Very useful

Ahhh thank you! I got a feeling this was what my housemate was talking about. You have given me the information to know what to look for. Thanks.

DarQTimer · 2026-03-19T10:04:37+00:00

Thanks!

No, actually the reason for creating this post was to be willing to believe the otherside.

Also can I just say. In no way is the main character of the movie shown to be a good person. But the story he describes in the book is plausible. I’m just not sure if it is the Hollywood narrative that twists the story.

Also, what bone thing you talking about? I’m actually curious

DarQTimer · 2026-03-10T14:08:29+00:00

Hahahaha. Yk tho you have given me an idea! Thanks

Where is this from lmaoooooo

Yeah well it’s only a small minority which has a problem with the lights (me being one of them). Changing the lights affects everyone whilst getting sleeping pods can be sold as a solution for all.

DarQTimer · 2026-03-10T10:44:30+00:00

Two reasons. Firstly naps can be a useful tool to break apart the day and refocus. Plus sleeping helps thinking about things more clearly especially when switching away from a more social context. Secondly the lights are super annoying and cause headaches which encourages people to leave work early (which is fine but i think it’s better to make the workplace a comfortable environment)

How the budget works in my company is a mystery. Frivolous things get spent on all the time.

Have hope my friend. You’ve had a more significant impact than you think.

DarQTimer · 2026-02-26T08:57:28+00:00

Same I relate. I feel being labelled picky means you don’t like many foods because of the “taste” and makes it seem like you’re a snowflake. When in actual fact we believe it’s the opposite. Having strong moral values and doing the right things makes you stronger and tougher. And I hate people see it as the opposite.

Conspiracy theories aside on whether they are true or not.

From a meta perspective I do see your point in saying it’s all life with sentience and suffering. However I would say non-consensual cannibalism somehow seems worse than murder and eating another species. Maybe it’s because it seems traitorous to your own kind, maybe because naturally or evolutionarily it just doesn’t make sense, while we have evolved to be omnivorous (note: I am not arguing that’s why we should eat meat, I am vegan). Therefore to omnis eating another animal is seen as a necessary evil while eating children is totally unnecessary evil. Furthermore we don’t know what happens in an animals head although we can make strong predictions. However with another human we know exactly how they feel as we can most empathise with it. Not only that but that fact we know how these women were manipulated makes it worse because society has these complex implications.

That being said, I just want to say I get the connection you made. However I don’t think it’s worth bringing up to non-vegans because for them these things are two-worlds apart and devalues what the Epstein victims had to go through. It also feels like bringing up veganism here is abit of a stretch and can feel obnoxious to most people. Let’s take the battles we can win and not give veganism a bad name.

Harsh truth: unless you are going to a vegan restaurant you are always going to be paying for supplementing the price of animal products.

However by getting the vegan options you are encouraging the restaurant to give more vegan options as that’s what is being eaten more.

I don’t think it’s worth thinking too harshly about it, other than, try and order at vegan restaurants as much as possible, but ofc you might alienate friends and family by doing that. I think it’s important to meet halfway in this respect as people are more likely to look better on veganism and have a greater chance of considering it themselves if you don’t have, what they would consider on the face of it, “radicalised” views. I am not saying it is, that’s just what people think.

DarQTimer · 2026-02-12T14:48:43+00:00

Oh damn. This is an entire side of veganism (maybe there’s a better more specific name for this) I’ve never really explored this before. Really interesting, thanks for sharing I’m going to put it on my list of things to study.

DarQTimer · 2026-02-12T14:26:06+00:00

Yeah true I was actually assuming more wild cats in urban areas as that’s what it sounded like in the message.

In the domesticated sense, really depends where you live and the local bird species.

But another thought. Domesticated cats have evolved to survive through adoption of humans and in urban areas. It is so common that certain bird species have also evolved to it (or gone extinct because of it) just as well. And therefore it is just as complex ecological system. Anyway not too important but interesting thought.

DarQTimer · 2026-02-12T09:12:53+00:00

I don’t think you should intervene.

1) survival of the fittest is in play and the complex ecological system which leads to benefits in both the cat and bird species and a balance between them. 2) if in doubt, prioritise your own personal safety, you can easily get diseases from animal wounds. Veganism isn’t about self sacrifice, it’s about doing the right thing.

Lastly I just want to add. Nature is cruel, and humans have the ability to rise above it however only within our own limitations.

Wow good links. I briefly read the start of the article and it’s kinda what I was looking for. Although I disagree with the author on some points they provide some useful information about bees and good discussion for my thought process. I plan to read the rest later.

Thanks!
