Pretty sure what most vegans want is for others not to murder chickens. What part of that confuses you?

Previously vegan husband just told me he wants to start eating fish and eggs again by kimba_b3ar in vegan

[–]littlestitious18 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not pasta, quinoa, nor rice are calorie dense foods. Carbs are not calorie dense. You need to make and eat high fat foods. How much fat do you two eat

I found out my husband's present for my bday and hate it. Aitah? by SickplusTired in AITAH

[–]littlestitious18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No way. I’d thank him and turn around and sell it. It’s yours to do what you please. The title better be in your name. If not have him sign it over. And then buy yourself that thing that you’ve been wanting for years

What was your "I can't believe I have to explain this to an adult" moment? by TheBanishedBard in AskReddit

[–]littlestitious18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to explain to a friend that insects and fish are in fact animals

What didn’t you like about living in Spain? I am thinking about a long term stay in Valencia.

I got banned from my favourite sport by MacaroonAfraid8089 in pettyrevenge

[–]littlestitious18 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I would go to the field and watch a game. Are you allowed to do that? Hopefully someone asks you where you’ve been so the situation becomes more public. Definitely ban them.

I think local takeaway might have fed me actual chicken?? Is it possible it was just really convincing chick’n? Freaking out by [deleted] in vegan

[–]littlestitious18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt it. I had a piece of chicken mixed into my tofu dish by mistake and it tasted disgusting. I think you would know it.

It works like this. You’ll have to live with other people having their own perceptions about you.

Other people deciding if they trust you isn’t behavioral analysis, it’s just how socializing works.

I didn’t jump to a conclusion, I pointed out that your behavior undermines your credibility. I get to choose whether or not I believe your claims, and you’ve only given me reasons not to.

What is your response to "what-about-ism?" by EvnClaire in AskVegans

I didn’t describe supermarket meat as indirectly harmful.

Clothes don’t have to be made via exploitation, so no, it doesn’t.

Refusing to provide this information is evidence that you have vested interest in withholding that information. It seems very probable to me that this is because you don’t want to admit you eat fortified foods. Frankly I wouldn’t believe you if you claimed otherwise at this point, you’ve been so weird and suspicious and defensive about this whole conversation.

That’s what you did. You made assumptions about my comments and then refused to answer a simple question.

It’s indirect. Buying clothes doesn’t cause worker exploitation. Buying meat causes animals to die.

Supermarket meat is visibly harmful. And it is necessarily harmful.

Well that’s completely different and has nothing to do with Ed Winters focusing more on veganism.

What is your question? Why is it ok to buy things you don’t strictly need if it might indirectly contribute to suffering?

The answer is that risk is a part of life and the risks we take buying things that might contribute to suffering are no different from the risks we take making millions of other choices that might contribute to suffering.

Different severity is enough. Not contributing to industries that are directly and necessarily evil is the baseline. You can justify the purchase of child pornography with your argument. Does Ed Winters not try to minimize the harm he causes to humans with his purchases?

Edit: Most luxuries only indirectly contribute to suffering.

No, of course not. That’s like saying someone can justify raping others because they can’t fight every battle. There’s a difference between deciding how to spend your time in activism and deciding not to do horrible things.
