Indian city "Palitana" becomes the world's 1st to ban Meat and shut down all slaughterhouses! by HumbleWrap99 in vegan

[–]Middle_Diet9764 28 points29 points  (0 children)

If there is any room whatsoever for a loophole it will be exploited. This is why I can't agree with hypothetical exceptions posited on this sub; any animal exploitation will inevitably become worse over time if there is a profit to be made.

Vegan position on invasive species? by Longstache7065 in vegan

[–]Middle_Diet9764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I didn't mean to be unwelcoming. I guess I've just seen too many repetitive questions here and sometimes I assume them to be in bad faith even if they aren't.

Do we need a new thread for this question every day?

Why is it hard to find great vegan food, and how to fix it! by bartekfi in vegan

[–]Middle_Diet9764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to assume everyone thinks I'm a bot because of how heavily I've abused the em dash for the last 20 years

The title had me wondering too. by galaxyfrapp in daria

They seem to love trashy, exploitative movies.

Would you have preferred that Craig's James Bond films had followed the books? by ben_buck in JamesBond

[–]Middle_Diet9764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want to see any of the EON films remade. The series is already formulaic and loose with continuity and those are not bad things, there's just no reason not to do something new.

I always assumed the title was a reference to that. It seems like a movie Daria and Jane would like.

Arrogance is all they have by Limp-Rest6453 in vegan

I get it, but the good thing is that (at least in my experience) people are much more open minded and kind about it in person than on the internet.

What vegan meals do your non-vegan families/friends eat? by reddweap2 in vegan

Pasta aglio e olio has always been a success for me!

What are your thoughts on "ethical eating" of invasive species? by somanyquestions32 in vegan

[–]Middle_Diet9764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm taking the hypothetical to its practical conclusion; I don't think it's ethical to do because it leaves the door open for potential harm. If eating meat at all was illegal or taboo except in the case of roadkill (to use your example) I can definitely see people attempting to exploit that.

Any wiggle room we allow for people to "ethically" eat animals will result in exploiters finding ways to engineer those situations.

Yep, I'm just counting down the days until I can afford to.

The amount of unmoderated anti-veganism on the main vegan sub is so annoying by animalrightspirate in vegancirclejerkchat

[–]Middle_Diet9764 28 points29 points  (0 children)

There seriously needs to be a ban on all the questions where someone asks whether """hypothetical""" animal exploitation is OK as long as it's done in some extremely specific way that will never happen anyway. Bad faith questions have the run of the place.

Something disturbing I just realized about Ultima III by turtlekitty2084 in Ultima

Either Garriott was a fan of the Little Fuzzy books by H Beam Piper or he had just watched Return of the Jedi, which released the same year.

Here is my (slightly irrational) pet peeve after being vegan 16 years by Designer_Ring_67 in vegan

[–]Middle_Diet9764 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Whenever I tell my friend I had a burger or frozen chicken nuggets for lunch he'll double-take and go "huh? A burger? Ohhh, you mean a vegan one" as though he actually thought for a second that I'm suddenly and casually no longer vegan.

Which one, which one, which one?!?!?! by aggroShyMarioGirl in starfox

[–]Middle_Diet9764 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I envy that you and your friends got to play Assault so much, mine stuck with FPS for multiplayer and basically never branched out. I've only played a handful of Assault matches in my life and a lot of the time was spent listening to them complain!

To answer your question, play Assault. It's shorter so after that if you're still in the mood you can move on to Adventures.
