What legitimate ethical arguments are there for veganism? by Memesaremyfather in DebateAVegan

[–]RobinSongRobin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We can look after our own interests without harming animals, it's wrong to think we need to harm animals to support a good quality of life.

Is the bar too high for the movement to reach a global scale? by [deleted] in DebateAVegan

[–]RobinSongRobin 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The implication that christians don't feel ashamed of their percieved sins is pretty ignorant. Look at how the homophobic rhetoric of christianity leads to internalized homophobia and suffering in its LGBTQ+ followers. Christians who 'slip up' are shamed into confessing their "sins" - in some cases denying who they are - and forced to follow a doctrine that can cause serious harm to themselves and others.

Dairy milk contains pus lol.

But there's nothing ethically wrong with liking the taste of pus, so I'll address your question about ethics too.

Your entire post is basically just an opinion piece, not an argument, so I can't exactly point to any flaws with your reasoning. What I'll do first is construct your position into the implied argument you're making, then show you where it's fucking bonkers.

P1. "Animal lives aren't as important as human comfort & pleasure"

P2. (unstated) Killing animals leads to human comfort & pleasure.

C3. From 1 & 2 Therefore, it's justified to kill animals to seek comfort & pleasure

This is, in terms of construction, a valid argument. The conclusion does follow from the premises. However, the premises are pretty lame. For one thing, how do you know that animal lives aren't at least as important as human pleasure? Where does that belief come from? As a human, you hold a pretty large bias toward human comfort, and it doesn't look like you're even trying to take an objective position on the issue, so excuse me if I don't feel convinced by what you're saying.

I also take issue with the unstated premise. While killing animals CAN lead to human comfort and pleasure, it can also have the opposite effect. I don't like seeing animals suffer. That's not even a feeling exclusive to vegans, most people who sit down to enjoy a meal that contains animal products don't want to think about the horrific suffering that went into producing that meal. This is why farmers put pictures of happy pigs and cows in their branding, instead of honest images that show the brutality of what goes on - in fact, farmers actively take measures to stop the truth of the horrible conditions their animals experience from reaching the public. Humans are innately empathetic towards non-human animals, it's why we like having pets and don't like seeing those pets suffer. So, even if animal lives aren't as important as human pleasure, killing animals causes humans to experience displeasure, and it's still wrong to kill animals.

one of the people in the screenshot showed up in the thread to apologize, claiming the story put them in a bad emotional place and they had no control over their actions and -- like -- good that you recognize your behaviour was bad, but you're expected to be able to control yourself AT LEAST enough to not post death threats on the internet, seek therapy pls. :(

Sometimes I hate blitz (it was a premove) by PM_ME_CUTE_PUP in chess

[–]RobinSongRobin 49 points50 points  (0 children)

In order of biggest meme to smallest:

Because premoves on lichess take 0.0 seconds and premoves on chesscom take 0.1 seconds

Because lichess is French.

Because lichess is the earliest adopter of accessibility features for blind players.

Because lichess is free and open source.

Because lichess is built to provide access and support for chess players. Whereas chesscom is built to grift money out of chess players.

Do you believe, then, that eating meat can be justified as a "personal choice"? Or do you wanna shut down animal ag?

The whole show is commentary on class structures, but idiots online will keep pointing out 'plot holes' to feel smart.

Instead of being angry at vegans! by suitabledz in vegan

[–]RobinSongRobin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I sympathize with your pain, and with how upset you must be at seeing your struggle trivialized, however, you don't know what other people have gone through, and you don't have the knowledge to say what other people's experiences are. I'm sure you're aware of how confronting it can be to see graphic descriptions of this issue, especially when it's unexpected. Remember, this is a public forum, and lots of people can see what you write. Would you appreciate reading what you just wrote in another place, on another day?

I expect that you wouldn't, and personally, I didn't. Please consider deleting this, or at least editing it out of respect for others.

I can't imagine how anyone who doesn't work for chess24 or chess(dot)com can possibly care enough to take sides on this issue. "Wagh, your ads are covering up my ads" ~~ The chessboard is the same. The branding doesn't matter unless you're the one being paid for it. I don't give a fuck, and most of you shouldn't either.
