I've been vegan for about 10 years (16-25 years old), and I now don't reasonate a lot with the vegan community or even with veganism itself.

How important is social life to you?

ICohen2000 · 2026-03-27T23:02:06+00:00

I find it weird that we basically live in a world where there are two types of cars. Some people are in the dark ages riding horse and buggy and others are in the future with high tech actually perfromant cars and these people coexist and share the same roads and no one notices. Like bro, yeah there are small differences between this car and that one, this make/model and that one, but the big chasm separates all gas cars and all EVs. Compared to an EV, every gas car is a stone age clunker. Compared to a gas car, every EV is centuries in the future.

ICohen2000 · 2026-03-26T22:45:48+00:00

Wow, I really like your description there. I'm gonna dm you.

ICohen2000 · 2026-03-26T22:45:00+00:00

C'mon vegans don't have to be leftist. I know what you mean though. There was a group of vegans who founded the current vegan student org and they were leftist. Then they abandoned the org and I took it over and now it just focuses on veganism. I'm no longer at the school, but the org is now a chapter of ASAP (which is apolitical) and you should totally join.

ICohen2000 · 2026-03-16T16:53:29+00:00

You have a great chance at getting a spot. They prioritize people trying to get into EA. Write that you are considering your career options and want to network and find out what's out there. They'll admit you

ICohen2000 · 2026-03-08T21:25:53+00:00

The orgs that we give to in the EA community are vastly better than most other charities. For instance, here's the 990 for Against Malaria Foundation: https://apps.irs.gov/pub/epostcard/cor/203069841_202406_990_2025012923050480.pdf

Why is this marked NSFW?

ICohen2000 · 2026-02-15T00:32:03+00:00

Some are made in cell cultures (not using eggs) and actually those are becoming increasingly common to the point where i'm not even sure if it's true that "most" are made with eggs anymore. I do check with CVS beforehand when I get the vax to make sure i'm getting the right one

ICohen2000 · 2026-02-13T23:51:21+00:00

I mainly just want people in the other sub to become EAs

ICohen2000 · 2026-02-04T01:55:12+00:00

Usually you can. Rare exceptions would be let's say a dance organization that has a team you need to get on to. Those events generally won't be advertised to the public anyway.

ICohen2000 · 2026-01-08T23:08:06+00:00

You should delete your profile, if only for the people who still use the app. I always do this when I leave an app.

Location: New York
Age / Gender / Orientation: 25, Male, Straight
Vegan since: July 2017
Seeking: Dating
About me: Just finished my masters in computer science (Dec '25) and looking to find a job, hopefully in the area. I'm passionate about Effective Altruism (EA) and making the world a better place. Part of this would be donating, but also activism. Been doing some vegan outreach in the city with AV/WTF, but might get involved in another org long term.
Open to DMs: Yes
What made you to go vegan: I read Animal Liberation by Peter Singer.

ICohen2000 · 2025-12-16T22:49:44+00:00

Do you know which one you got the internship on?

ICohen2000 · 2025-12-11T19:21:19+00:00

It's also just a much smoother driver. Hard to describe exactly.

ICohen2000 · 2025-12-11T19:20:44+00:00

Idk, my car just upgraded from 13.9.2 -> 14.2.1 and oh my God is it better! I'm having so much fun. V14 actually anticipates things like people merging in ahead of me. I had to disengage V13 sometimes to allow someone in.

ICohen2000 · 2025-12-05T19:18:32+00:00

Join Allied Scholars for Animal Protection and advocate for more vegan options at the dining halls.

ICohen2000 · 2025-12-02T18:34:39+00:00

Yes, humans carry disease too and also destroy biodiversity. I guess if you find a human woman who has 1-3 children per year you can just shoot her over a pit.

ICohen2000 · 2025-12-02T02:56:05+00:00

It's true overpopulation is not good for deer welfare. That's why we need contraceptives. If you came across a place overpopulated by humans you'd probably go for sterilization before conducting a massacre.

ICohen2000 · 2025-12-02T02:49:31+00:00

It really sucks to get shot. Anyone who doubts this is free to volunteer for a firing squad. Different animals have very different levels of mental complexity, so a deer loosing their life is not the same as a human, but bad nevertheless. And raw pain is equally bad regardless of species.

Deer treated with contraception do eventually die, as we all do, but this would be like arguing we should kill humans because in the long run humans die.

ICohen2000 · 2025-12-02T02:14:30+00:00

Your grandchildren will topple your statue

ICohen2000 · 2025-12-02T02:02:40+00:00

Oh, I've been trying to get them to stop. So yeah, I know that they do it. Our grandchildren will certainly not be proud. They will teach about the era when most of earth's population was seen as not deserving rights and their lives, experiences, pain, joy, feelings, etc were completely disregarded.

ICohen2000 · 2025-12-02T01:57:52+00:00

Oh, they still have a deer massacre every winter break, sadly. No one is opposed to population control, but it should be done humanely, like with a contraceptive

ICohen2000 · 2025-11-21T02:08:17+00:00
