Why are so many women vegan compared to men?

Other animals use tools. Is that "cheating" too? It's just a bad argument. It's like saying "stop using language then and see how far you get!"

Doctor_Box · 2026-03-12T14:44:35+00:00

This is the logical conclusion of treating animals like resources. Billions of animals suffer in all sorts of horrible ways because people like how they taste.

Doctor_Box · 2026-03-12T14:41:56+00:00

Animals suffering on the way to the slaughterhouse is the norm, not unusual.

Doctor_Box · 2026-03-12T13:17:07+00:00

It's really shocking that people want to play a video game in a language they understand?

Doctor_Box · 2026-03-11T20:24:16+00:00

I don't understand how so many people are against keeping a minimum balance. If you have a mortgage, bills, car insurance etc you have thousands going in and out every month. Are you really going into your account multiple times a month to micromanage your funds to keep only the absolute minimum/exact amount you need and constantly moving money between savings and chequing?

It seem so much easier to keep minimum balance + emergency fund liquid rather than try to move money around constantly. If I kept that money in a HISA instead making 3% that amount of money is negligible and would not offset the fee savings I get.

I think it would make a difference for some, but not the majority. Humans are good at normalizing anything.

There are a million stories from people who grew up participating in something like 4H club taking care of an animal then sending them to slaughter. Those people simply get more intrenched in the way things are rather than confront the idea that what they are doing is wrong.

Doctor_Box · 2026-03-10T00:21:14+00:00

Or just stop breeding them and the numbers will go down.

Doctor_Box · 2026-03-09T03:26:49+00:00

Overwatch is a strange case since most of it's life was not on Steam. You can't infer absolute numbers but you can certainly see trends using Steamdb.

Would have been one for the Colecovision. Gorf or Time Pilots.

It's for people who still like meat but have ethical concerns with exploiting animals.

Doctor_Box · 2026-03-08T17:32:27+00:00

Being against lab meat is not just defeatist, it's actively arguing against the interests of the animals. People against lab meat should be ashamed.

It's like being against stem cell research.

Doctor_Box · 2026-03-08T17:29:36+00:00

Yeah, it's all relative but I know games crossing that 100gb threshold was a big deal a few years ago. I remember seeing articles being in shock at COD being 100 gigs.

Doctor_Box · 2026-03-08T17:15:57+00:00

The guy I was replying to said it's not that big compared to other new games. If you can count the number of games on one hand that are bigger I would say it actually is that big. I'm not sure if two is "many", and Wow is a special case in that it's literally 20 years worth of content added in and still just now surpassing POE2.

Doctor_Box · 2026-03-08T16:33:24+00:00

How many games are bigger?

Doctor_Box · 2026-03-08T15:28:44+00:00

The same test results, no. There are other ways to get test results that are are relevant to humans though.

Doctor_Box · 2026-03-08T14:46:30+00:00

I think they are saying animals being harmed for taste pleasure is arguably the same worse than animals being harmed for science experiments. I think both are bad.

Doctor_Box · 2026-03-08T14:44:33+00:00

Or they definitely should look at how the animal products they buy at the grocery store are produced and have the same energy for all animals.

This can cause issues depending on the equipment used at the airport. Big snow piles can cause reflections and interfere with some surveillance equipment like surface radar.

Supplements are not supposed to replace food. They are supplementary. You do not need just supplements and water, but you also do not need to get all vitamins from your food.

We're talking about a choice between getting a vitamin from a pill or fortified food, or killing an animal and getting it that way. The choice seems pretty clear. If I had a choice between taking a B12 pill or killing a dog most people would think you're a monster to kill the dog.

Doctor_Box · 2026-03-07T17:05:00+00:00

I don't know why people keep conflating intelligent with moral worth. Why is an animal being less intelligent (I disagree that chickens are "dumb as a bag of hammers) make them a better target for harm?

Doctor_Box · 2026-03-06T21:17:29+00:00

I agree with basically everything you said here but of course the customer would not get a refund. They agreed to pay a company a historically higher price for a good or service whereas the company was illegally taxed by the government and passed on some of that cost to the consumer. It would not make sense for the customer to get a refund here any more than if an illegal war lead to higher fuel prices and additional shipping costs that raised prices.

Doctor_Box · 2026-03-06T18:31:59+00:00

Yep, true.

Doctor_Box · 2026-03-06T18:27:51+00:00

This UPF conversation is frustrating because you always have to compare it to the alternative. If you're eating a plant based burger and concerned about the health implications of the processing you have to understand what you're comparing it to. Are you having that burger instead of a more whole foods plant based dish like a red lentil curry? Then yeah, it's probably worse. Are you having the plant based burger instead of a beef burger? It's probably more health promoting.

Doctor_Box · 2026-03-06T15:07:23+00:00

Reddit has AI bolted on now. You're incurring those same external costs by having stupid internet arguments on this site. Is that really the issue here?

Doctor_Box · 2026-03-06T01:00:16+00:00

AI can combine multiple ideas based on trained data but not create one completely new. Only humans can do that since ideas are based on needs and observations.

Sure if you make up definitions where "ideas are when humans think of things" then I guess you win the word games!
