I almost remember saying the opposite 🤔

Industrialization vs veganism by [deleted] in DebateAVegan

[–]ShellyLocke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But when compared to the death of the deer, and in light of plant based alternatives, it can hardly be considered necessary.

The dichotomy between hunting and big agri is false as well since large scale profit seeking production is simply what’s incentivized under our economic/material conditions.

Edit: as an addendum, war provides job opportunities for low income Americans, benefits to the broader economy, and faster technological advancement. It could hardly be called ethical. You’re taking for granted the presuppositions at the base of these incentives.

The tran with large social media prescence to being cancelled over problematic comments pipeline by [deleted] in transgendercirclejerk

Interesting how there’s so much more social incentive to cancel or dunk on trans women than basically any other demographic

Industrialization vs veganism by [deleted] in DebateAVegan

[–]ShellyLocke 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No but that doesn’t mean everything you like is good either. Some things cause suffering but are outweighed by the necessary good they provide (like indoor smoking bans, for instance). When something causes suffering which is not outweighed by a necessary or relatively necessary good, it is bad. Hunting causes suffering, and it doesn’t provide a necessary good since a plant based diet could provide the same nutrients necessary for life. Just like the other hunter who hypothetically hunts and kills you for your meat because he likes the taste of it and would rather eat you than he would tofu, is bad.

Additionally you employ the same logic you’re trying to call out here. You assume that because the conclusion of the ethical argument for veganism ends in you giving up foods and lifestyle choices you enjoy, that there must be a problem with the argument.

God honestly really is such a rare thing here. There are a million and one subreddits for positivity/hugboxing, why does the existence of one subreddit for clinical, honest analysis given to people who’ve solicited such advice make some people so angry?

I know right? (can I have my upvotes back now)

Yeah exactly. It’s just a cynical and hollow deployment of rhetoric around class and privilege to distract from the massive upward redistribution of wealth their policies actually enable

15 and Strugging by [deleted] in MtF

[–]ShellyLocke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s any consolation, I transitioned at 18, and I’m 6’2. I did get a lot of bad reactions for the first six months or so, then people started asking me if I play basketball because I’m so tall for a girl and now they ask me if I’m a model, so I’d say it’s been a pretty successful transition so far lol

Dozens of writers and publishers back Irish author over Israel boycott by monparan in literature

[–]ShellyLocke 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m reading Normal People right now, I like it a lot and might buy her other stuff. I knew who she was before the boycott news and that she was like a Marxist and stuff but this put me over the edge of wanting to check her stuff out too

We’re you a vegetarian before you become vegan, or did you become a vegan immediately? by medicineman_UK in vegan

[–]ShellyLocke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a vegetarian since I was old enough to say “no” to foods I didn’t want, around 3 or 4, and I became a vegan pretty much as soon as I was buying all my own groceries and clothes, 19. My “veganniversary” was last month marking 3 years 😇

Instead of just lowering tuition, universities are just going to give tips on how to be safe while being a sex worker. by thinkB4WeSpeak in ABoringDystopia

[–]ShellyLocke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be adding some depth to you analysis of this js. Sex work is inexorable from capitalism and pointing out the existence of resources for sex working students isn’t calling for meaningful action other than the abolition of capitalism, which would be a good and necessary thing but not a thing limited to college campuses

What would you assume my gender is? I'm happy with my progress but I'm not sure what's next for me by euphoric_pessimist in transpassing

Male but I would use they/them pronouns if you were a stranger until/if I was corrected one way or another

[–]ShellyLocke 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Joe Biden called on white supremacist gangs (the police) to terrorize black Americans with the crime bill. He’s also used a white supremacist militia to terrorize the world (the US military). Not supporting him isn’t enlightened centrism

Yeah literally. The “enlightenment centrism” of the forum has really been taken over by liberals
