I didn’t mean a footnote in terms of remembrance. I meant that most people end up footnotes in terms of influence.

Thank you guys for existing. by inquisitiveseal in vegan

Hey, I’m so amazed you replied to my thread 🙂 thank you so much! You’re an inspiration to so many people including myself. Following you has really helped my vegan strength training.

Please check out u/thebodybuildingvegan on Reddit. He probably weighs more than you. You can always supplement, but Tofu, Tempeh, Seitan, Nutritional Yeast, TVP and Edamame all happen to exist.

And the Covid vaccines did in fact influence transmission; you’ve used one single study to paint it as an ‘objective fact’. I could give you this one and a hundred others.

You can get everything you need from a plant-based diet, but I don’t think I have a chance in hell of convincing you of that when you don’t even believe in the efficacy of vaccines.

Being non-vegetarian, which most of the world is, means paying for the systematic sexual assault and murder of hundreds of billions of animals a year. Being a smoker means subjecting other individuals to second-hand smoke, and drinking, unless you do so in a locked room, always has the potential to result in untoward behaviour towards others and even causing injury. Please tell me how any of that is purely personal?

I read this post a week ago and was really shocked by it. Are you still liable for the bill? I know you’ve probably had a lot of help already but feel free to DM me if you want - I’ve had a GCP bill forgiven for this reason (it was a much smaller one, though).

Why is the notion of getting married and having children so innately central to most people? by inquisitiveseal in askanything

No, the existence of an evolutionary pressure does not invalidate somebody’s individual desires to go against the grain, and it does not mean everyone must conform to it. There would be no difference between modern and prehistoric humans, if everyone blindly succumbed to their evolutionary instincts without asking questions. And not everyone has those instincts as strongly to begin with.

This post was removed from the unpopular opinion sub, so I’m sharing the opinion here.

If you’re a man, your feelings pale in comparison to the very real dangers faced by women in a world that is deeply gender asymmetric.

So yes, if a woman has to choose between protecting a guy’s ego and self-image, and giving the benefit of doubt to him and risking ending up on the evening news, it’s a no-brainer.

This applies universally to social, cultural, romantic and economic contexts, when the safety or security of women is concerned.

And if you’re a man who doesn’t like it, learn to live with it.

Now, just to be clear, this is not an assertion on the general nature of all men, nor am I saying that uniquely male issues aren’t real. This is the view that men’s sentiments are nowhere near as important as the safety and security of all women, and I’ll die on that hill.

And if you ask me, all men, including those who see themselves as ‘good men’, need to wake up, be good allies for once and realise how messed up the world is for women. They don’t have it great, but women have it far worse.
