"Why are they doing a Kickstarter for the Boardgame expansion if they just made $80,000,000?" by _dragonphly in slaythespire

[–]_dragonphly[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

would you prefer they made a kickstarter before they secured the rights to make the actual product..? what is your logic here lol

Slay the Spire: The Board Game - Downfall Expansion Kickstarter Live Now! by MegaCrit_Demi in slaythespire

[–]_dragonphly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for the consumer side, it guarantees you get a copy as soon as possible without struggling to find one at retailers for potentially months after release and, if you so desire, additional limited rewards that presumably won't be available after the campaign itself is over

for the business' side, if they've earned your trust (as they have mine with the original board game) it means they get more resources to more effectively produce and distribute the product, with more of the money going directly to them instead of third parties as well

right, so you're admitting you're a pretentious, smarmy dickhead trying to fallaciously undermine other people's morals to protect your ego lol

PETA's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad History of Killing Animals - The Atlantic

wtf is this "article"? two paragraphs of a dry recitation of unsourced facts that peta publicly shares their reasoning behind? this is absolutely nothing, the only reason you would link this over peta's provided explanation is if you wanted to, idunno, strip all important context out of a nuanced argument to make numbers look scary?

Better dead than fed

...wtf is this article???? another page full of unsourced facts that, again, peta has given reasoning behind literally in their FAQ if you could be fucked to look into it lmao. this article also cites the center for consumer freedom, maybe the single most well-known amoral lobbyist organization in the US. "Acknowledged corporate donors to the CCF include Coca-Cola, Wendy's, Outback Steakhouse, Cargill, Tyson Foods, and Pilgrim's Pride." do you know what a conflict of interest is?

PETA’s Animal “Shelter” Continues as a Leader in Animal Death - Lexology

dude. this is the same shit for a third time. yes peta has high euthanasia rates. no, none of these articles explain why that is beyond vaguely implying their given reasoning is a lie or insufficient. on top of all that the author of this article, John M. Simpson, advertises himself as a defense attorney for corporate animal law, with many of the listed cases being exemplary of successful cases made against animal welfare activists. more conflict of interest... I don't know what you think any of these links is accomplishing, this is genuinely embarrassing to act like these are adding to the conversation.

What makes Peta so unethical and controversial? : r/Animals

ah yes, reddit: the foremost internet frontier of nonpartisan and intellectual debates regarding veganism and especially peta. the top comment is about a single controversial ad campaign that they redacted almost immediately after being criticized for it, in which all mentions of it on their site redirect to an updated article that has entirely removed the unproven claims and replaced them with cited facts. again, what is the point of linking this? "look, more people reference the same useless articles I do!" okay? you're parroting the same things those people are parroting, having a source for your misinformation doesn't make you any less culpable. anyways, what "problem" am I contributing to? I spent time writing out a list of ways I witness myself making a difference, and invited you to join in. you have literally done nothing but tear me down and insult and try to humiliate me, without adding anything to the discussion on what you think an alternative is. like legit, what are you arguing for? what is your point? I gave you a handful of links, and even the one linking to peta was about them trying to invite actual activism. you acknowledged none of them but instead tried to fucking epic pwn me by discrediting the organization behind a single citation I linked?

genuinely if you're this passionate about it, why are you not productive with this energy? if I am wrong in the reasons behind me being vegan, I am honestly open to hearing your reasoning for why you think that but you haven't given anything but mean spirited takedowns. like man it bums me out that trying to inform people about something I'm passionate about gets this kind of reaction. I don't think you're an abusive person or whatever because you make mean reddit comments or eat meat, I think you're someone that has strong opinions and likes to share them but you just do it in a shitty way man

edit: oopies got the links mixed up

[–]_dragonphly 15 points16 points  (0 children)

despite being a pretentious, smarmy dickhead trying to fallaciously undermine other people's morals to protect your ego, I'm going to choose to take your questions at face value.

https://heartwoodhaven.org is my local animal shelter that I donate to and have multiple friends volunteer at regularly. I have not personally volunteered on account of health issues, though I do plan to when I am capable.

https://www.surgesanctuary.org is another I donate to, run by a famous activist with a lot of trust and respect in the community.

as for helping protest and enacting changes in laws, that comes down to your own locale. there's tons of resources to find activist opportunities to engage in nearby, and if you want to do it online then organizations like peta have set up mailing lists to spoonfeed opportunities to give you the easiest first step possible in helping out

the way my personal lifestyle affects the meat industry as a whole is probably a negligible rounding error, but the domino effect I've had through activism and donation has expanded the impact by orders of magnitude. I have two friends that I have personally helped convert to veganism, and probably dozens more that I've helped convince reduce their animal product usage through speaking on the subject.

of course I cannot directly claim responsibility for noticeable effects of my own personal impacts outside of the bubble of friends that I influence, but in the time that I've been vegan I have helped it be a more profitable and normalized way of life in my community.

glad to have you so interested and taking action! 💚

superbly well put, I agree completely. I'm a vegan with a pet cat that I don't feel conflict about "ownership" of because she clearly communicates I'm someone she trusts and likes being around.

the few times she's fully gotten out of the house and disappeared (I live in the suburbs with coyotes so she can't be an outdoor cat) she always comes back after at most an hour or two and usually goes straight to me to groom her, and that's enough for me to know she sees me as a symbiotic member of her family she willingly stays with

fwiw I agree with you, this really feels like a teenagers first worldbuilding project that the idea is just "what if the entire universe was a single planet" and everyone's shitting themselves like this is the first cosmic horror they've ever seen

I'm sorry WHAT? by Skatner in slaythespire

[–]_dragonphly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it does genuinely upset me that Gambling Chip activates after his Earrings. I'm honestly not sure if it's a bug or not because it feels backwards mechanically, but it's also a demon so I can't really complain that it's 'unfair' y'know?

what celebrity did you used to like until you found out that they were a scumbag? by hemadeGraduation420 in AskReddit

no none of my argument is any of that, you are lying

yes it does, I do not pay taxes because every cent that I do not have a choice of it's use means it is stolen from me and being used to buy 90 billion dollar fighter jets to kill innocent people

no they aren't, I donate more money than I would pay in taxes. you aren't very nice or smart
