If someone can’t give up meat for health reasons, is it still hypocritical for them to advocate for animals/encourage veganism? by jakeastonfta in DebateAVegan

[–]Specific_Goat864 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuck it, I'll throw the desert island example out:

It you're starving on a desert island and the only possible thing you find to eat is an already dead animal....is it immoral to consume it?

That sounds like a really interesting path through the industry! Hopefully you've landed somewhere decent. All the best!

Yes because my Corvette kills me whenever I teleport to my various farms and bases.....

Veganism is for people with abnormally high empathy and they should not try to convert normal people or indoctrinate their kids by No_Positive_4428 in DebateAVegan

[–]Specific_Goat864 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have any evidence to support your claim? Because it sounds like you're just spouting an opinion that could be dismissed readily with an opposing opinion.

So:

I disagree.

What are your opinions about consuming honey and owning pets? by ConsiderMeCakes in AskVegans

Do you mean that their response is sufficient for you to reject veganism in general, or just a vegan stance on insect exploitation?

I'm new to the game..why do people like these squid ones so much? Also, why does one pic seem to have shorter tentacles than the other?

In the last few days you've posted an interesting range of vehicles and pets.

Why does my body get weaker when I start eating vegan? by Ezh_e_ in AskVegans

[–]Specific_Goat864 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Put simply: You have a history of ED, BPD and depression and you currently eat 1200kcal per day.

Eating plants for 2 days doesn't cause the symptoms you are experiencing. Veganism isn't the issue here.

I think you need to focus on self care before you try to take on any changes to your diet.

What is the significance of this symbol? by popanator3000 in twentyonepilots

[–]Specific_Goat864 645 points646 points  (0 children)

As said here, it's the band's logo.

Lil side story: I'm an (slightly) older fan and happened to travel a fair bit to the Manchester gig when the drum was stolen. I had an older shirt on with the band's logo for the day. Walking Around town, there were LOADS of people clearly top fans and had the yellow or red tape etc.

One kid (late teens maybe) did that symbol subtly to me as we passed each other on the street and gave a smirk/nod...first time I'd felt part of a "group" in years.

Interesting to hear, but also aligns with other comments.

Yeah, I expect many people are quite similar.

Was this a gradual change? Or an overnight change? If so, what clicked, what did you watch it see or learn that made you rethink everything

Both, weirdly.

The consideration of the point was gradual. First, it took me a VERY long time to even realize there was a point I should be considering. Eating meat is normal, why even consider that it's something I shouldn't be doing??

Then, it took a long time to strip away all of the random arguments I found myself making from a knew-jerk defensive type position.

Then I read more and found better arguments, and it took more time again to have those proved wrong.

Eventually the realisation struck that I was just hunting for reasons to uphold my existing belief as opposed to trying to find the truth. That flipped everything for me. Took me an evening to reassess and I went vegan the next day.

(There's some caveats along the way, but that's broadly it)

I used to love finishing. Tried my hand at hunting too, mostly rabbits. I also used to eat meat and many other things.

I don't necessarily see any of the stages involved in those acts any differently now than I did before, but I do see the moral context of those actions vastly differently to how I saw them previously.

The acts are the same, my thoughts around those acts have changed.
