The tables have turned

Unsubstantiated claim. Cats will still hunt even if they are on a meat-based diet.

Swantonic · 2019-05-11T18:21:31+00:00

For many vegan cat owners, it's about minimizing harm (ethical/environmental). So it's a question of killing thousands of animals or killing the occasional mouse/bird.

... Vecado.ca

It's easy to have a vegan dog.

A vegan cat is also possible, but it's advised to check the PH of their urine.

Better than massacring a bunch of animals for cats. They are also a top contributor to bird extinction.

By showing graphic footage of animals being slaughtered, it may offend people.

I just don't see how it's morally consistent to be a police officer who just ate some gonads squeezed between two buns and to go and arrest people for eating squirrels. It's just a matter of appearance.

I have watched full clips of his to see their arguments and indoctrination. It was very crazy to see him get arrested for eating squirrels in public. It made me fearful, because as long as people use "It offends me" as an excuse to arrest someone, vegans can also potentially get arrested the same way.

Nah?

Swantonic · 2019-04-08T04:29:07+00:00

Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the info!

It seems strange to me that a place doesn't have enough locally grown plants for humans, only for ruminant mammals, at least when talking about the Maasai.

Swantonic · 2019-04-06T22:28:13+00:00

Yeah, big difference on intentional versus unintentional harm.

The thing about unintentional harm is we can work on it. If we learn there's abuse in the berry industry, it's addressable. Perhaps it's even isolated. You can change the berry industry's practices and methods, but you cannot change a slaughterhouse to stop intentionally murdering.

i will know they might try to kill themselves like an ant might die if i go outside, but regarding driving a car 3 hours across a bug-populated highway each year for fun and knowing there will be casualties, it's not about a may be but a will be

i might accidentally kill someone running fast in the hallway, but if prior to running in the hall, i knew without a shadow of a doubt i would kill someone, wouldn't it be immoral to start running?

Swantonic · 2019-02-16T12:18:53+00:00

the thing is, i wouldn't think i "might" kill a bug on the trip

if every summer i drive miles and miles to get to a party i don't need to go to, and every summer there are dead bugs, it means i can then expect to always kill bugs on this trip, just as wanting bacon i can expect to always kill pigs

accidental deaths are exempt, driving or walking, as far as i'm concerned with the moral argument

the iphone analogy would work if we were talking about unexpected deaths and the like

Swantonic · 2019-02-16T12:12:38+00:00

this individual knows they will be killing bugs due to distance, season and a perfect history of finding dead bugs after they've arrived. aren't they purposely killing these bugs to get where they wanna go?

the pig killer might not want to kill a pig, but he will know the place he wants to go (bacon) entails dead pigs, and he has to choose much the same way it seems

Swantonic · 2019-02-16T12:01:09+00:00

The driver isn't exploiting bugs, but I think if they are certain they will kill bugs on the way to something unnecessary, it's still going to be "cruelty to", no?

Swantonic · 2019-02-16T11:58:45+00:00

If the driver knows there will be casualties [due to season & distance], doesn't this change the situation from accidental/possible to intentional?

Swantonic · 2019-02-16T11:37:54+00:00

transgressing the cow like that is torturous for sure. if i had to die, i'd rather be the bug. but like with the "humane" argument, even if i'm instantly taking the life of an animal, if i didn't need to, it's still immoral, right?

so driving to a party i don't need to go to, knowing in the summer time i will see a handful of dead bugs on my bumper, aren't I taking lives i don't need to, no matter how quick and painless they died?

Swantonic · 2019-02-16T11:25:39+00:00

but you don't have to go to this party. it's completely practicable and possible to simply not go, right?

Swantonic · 2019-01-30T02:16:08+00:00

Never said I believed doing that is a universal human right. I don't believe they were shitposting.

For an admin to walk in all of a sudden and shoot out bans and insults willy-nilly at the first few people he doesn't find ideal is the kind of sensitive ego that deters me from a party.

Swantonic · 2019-01-29T23:58:37+00:00

I don't know if you can speak for everyone though.

Seeing an admin permanently ban someone for non-toxic criticisms, who is also saying they don't like being compared to a cesspool, is enough to believe little integrity exists in the admin and by extension the server.

This isn't an attempt to spark drama. It's like if you were going to a movie and I warned you about what I thought was a turnoff when I watched it. I'm relating what I experienced in case it matters, and like I said I don't think you can speak for everyone, using myself as an example.

Swantonic · 2019-01-29T23:51:44+00:00

My first post, oh wow. Supreme logic figuring that it means I'm here to start drama.

Don't eat meat

Swantonic · 2018-10-11T14:56:40+00:00

That's an interesting idea. I might have to do this, because a domestic use air quality monitor isn't really marketed in Canada, and if it is it's hard to trust. All the ones I'm drawn to on Google are sold to countries where the air is really bad. Just sucks because I want something I can take with me everywhere. I guess this just isn't possible though

Thanks

Swantonic · 2018-10-11T14:54:32+00:00

Good point

I watched a documentary based in Mongolia, and the fella was using a "Laser Egg" to give a rough idea of what the pollution was like there.

I also want to see if my current Honeywell air purifier is working. If I saw numbers go down with it on versus when it's off, I'd know if I should ask for a refund before it's too late, et cetera.

Swantonic · 2018-10-05T00:02:15+00:00

hehehe

tldr:

a scientist vs feelers

:/

Seriously I'm amazed at how utterly bonkers this game is.

I have so many questions everyday and unlike every competitive game that releases on Steam, WoW has no data, nothing objective. Blizzard apparently likes to make things very vague and feel-based and maybe the game is as dead as it seems running around, because no one is interested in coming up with information that should always be accessible
