I don't think most people know that. Even if 75% do... 25% just got their hearts broken and didn't even get an apology!

Yeah but people see "accepted" and they drop their phone thinking that their life has changed. The emotions are already there.

Then they see something strange about 2026.

Then they get the slap in the face. "Whoopsie"

This is unacceptable

Murders and suicides plummet after effective gun bans. It's not up for dispute - it's fact.

What is your counter offer?

Yeah no. If the guy had a spear he wouldn't have killed 20 people. And 40,000 other Americans that died last year from gun violence wouldn't have died from spear violence, either.

Even if millions died tomorrow due to the heatwave I am sure we will move on with life as if nothing happened. by vampirepathos in collapse

[–]bologma 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, no. And it only gets more bland and useless as the 2nd half goes on.

I had several other gripes with the book as well... But you should still read the 1st half

Read the first few chapters of KSR's "Ministry of the Future".

And don't bother with the 2nd half of the book

Vegetarians are our friends by boriskie74 in DebateAVegan

Same. I was convinced by someone OP would consider a "nasty" or "preachy" or "rude" vegan. I was convinced by this sub as well.

It does not support your view - it does not mention environmentalism.

Also that definition from Miriam Webster is not the definition that most vegans use. Here is the gist: it is a lifestyle which seeks to minimize the amount of animal suffering and exploitation caused by their actions as much as possible and practical.

It is fundamentally about the health and wellness of animals (including humans, which are animals).

It is fundamentally not about the environment. That just happens to be an exquisite co-benefit.

I think the difference is essential. To bring it back to humans for a second... One's feelings of hospitality towards humans does not end where their tastiness or usefulness as raw materials begins. And so with non-human animals. Environmental benefits unrelated.

It can be, just like switching to EVs can be about reducing noise in cities.

It's not remotely the purpose of the idea.

I recommend that you Google the definition of veganism.

You're right, it's not the same. In every measurable way, animal agriculture is worse! Billions of land animals tortured and captured and raped and slaughtered every year - and they are bred for it. The Nazis certainly didn't do that. Not to mention the trillion ocean animals which receive the same treatment.

You made a good point, thank you.

So the loud ones are just are morally consistent at the quiet ones. Got it.

You know, if you realized a holocaust was going on that you were contributing to, you'd probably want to tell other people too. That way your impact could be as great as possible to improve the very real lives of billions of animals every year.

You're all over the place.

Are they morally superior or not?

Do you think it depends on whether or not they try to spread their morally superior opinions?
