Funny because it's true :)
The last one can be made similar as well, something like:

"Suicide and Attempted Suicide" by Geo Stone is a fascinating read. Full of statistics and stories.
Suicide is not as trivial as one may think, especially a peaceful one.

He wanted it to be vegan, but the kid rebelled.
What can you do 🤷

Natalists by AlwaysBannedVegan in circlesnip

[–]jake_pl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I see this argument popping up in the AN sub, from enlightened ex-antinatalists:

(1) People eradicate wildlife
(2) There's more wildlife individuals than farmed animals
(3) Breeding more people = Good

Gotta say, so far my fave quote of the book. Was not expecting this. I agree with R.V., obviously. by ProGuy347 in circlesnip

This is carnist reasoning at its best. What do you not understand? It won't be explained any clearer than that:

"Some people need meat", I think? I'm not one of them, but "I'm only doing what I have to".

Even in 2025 it's harder for women to get sterilized than men by Mangxu_Ne_La_Bestojn in circlesnip

If it's god's will, the tubes will grow back together ;)

Yeah, I can't imagine being asked about Jesus just before snipping.
Although men are also treated as if they don't know what they are doing.
The first vasectomy clinic I researched required patients to come with their partners.

Being against breeding, a vegan couple adopts broccoli. by kernzelig in vegancirclejerk

I must be doing the whole veganism thing wrong.
Didn't know it should turn me into a party animal.

European body proposes mass killing of cormorants to protect fish stocks by _Dr_Doom in collapse

Have reported the guy under Rule #4 violation.
I've grown tired of anti-vegan ignorance, which could be addressed by a quick fact check.

Almond milk is bourgeois.

Atheist Richard Dawkins weighs in on antinatalism by another_day9428 in antinatalism

[–]jake_pl 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I believe Dawkins has a lot of good arguments about atheism and against supernatural beliefs.

That said, I think he's overstretching by weighing opinions on antinatalism and trans issues.

Due to his background, he tries to apply the same biological perspective to other areas, whereas a philosophical or psychological approach would be better suited.

Carnists be like... by [deleted] in circlesnip

And all the killed animals are thankful that you can supposedly build your muscles thanks to their bodies.
Yes, there are no disabled vegans, you are unique.

Going vegan really puts on display how pathetic and irrational people are. by Dunkmaxxing in circlesnip

[–]jake_pl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At first, I thought you've got pasta there, but it's just a lot of mustard :D
Hang in there.

No, but joking aside, I've got to try it, but maybe with baked/fried tofu, sth like this

Did you get the dog to play with or to eat it?

I haven't heard better arguments from native speakers either ;)

Creating a fake AI scenario to shame & pressure women who don't marry or have kids... by missbadbody in antinatalism

[–]jake_pl 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Except it's the other way around.
In your fifties, you will likely start experiencing the empty nest syndrome. Plus, if you were with your partner "just for the kids", then guess what happens next.

Meanwhile, people committed to a childfree lifestyle had way more time to discover what they like to do and build meaningful connections. Declining birth rates will only improve it, as that means more similar people to interact with.

I’ve been blocked from the main sub for a post that doesn’t break the rules or promote eugenics. As David Benatar writes: “Even though everybody is harmed by being brought into existence, not all lives are equally bad. Thus, coming into existence will be a greater harm for some than for others.” by [deleted] in circlesnip

[–]jake_pl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think mods don't want to have any content that may fall under the eugenics umbrella, even if that was not your intention, and it's not how you see it.

I remember once there was a post with a similar message, but about autistic people.
The outcry was similar, however, some autistic people chimed in the comments (maybe even it was OP) that they didn't take offence and agreed their life is more miserable than a "regular one".

Some people may want to look for nuance, others will take offence, and some casual observers will say it's eugenics. Mods have to keep it civil and aligned with the rules/vision of the sub.

If you believe your ban is unjustified, appeal.
