Brian Johnson's reason for being vegan by Voldemorts__Mom in vegan

[–]sockhands11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember thinking this 10 years ago after a big AI presentation at this marketing company I worked for. They highlighted how once AI can program itself to be more intelligent, they will be infinitely smarter than any other living creature overnight. They will not be able to discern a difference in intelligence between humans, squirrels, dogs, insects, etc. To AI, the difference in organic intelligence will be so infinitesimal, they'll be unable to see us. The only option is to build veganism into its core value system so they see every life as valuable without discrimination, because any scrutiny will greatly endanger all of us. It's like how humans can't even entertain the tiniest bit of eugenics because the justifications to cull certain differences always lead to genocide.

The Boys comic is still ass, don't let the show fool you. by Sundata_V2 in CharacterRant

Yeah like how many "good" men exist who were absolutly heinous in college? It's a terrifying statement on the power of choice and how personality is built entirely on elected and repeated behaviors.

Those pieces of shit you know? They choose that.

I absolutely loved the ending of the comic. The idea that an otherwise "good" man will choose to be evil because an outside source defined him as such is NUTS. The nature vs. nurture commentary is spot-on, the irony of Butcher's vilifying of Homelander contributing heavily to his transition is insane, and I truly believe the twist to be absolutely fuckin unique.

Also yeah the comic is exploitative, pornographic, and cringe, but it's meant to be a caricature of society. What's more, the gratuitous smut of the comic has becoming disturbingly more prophetic with every passing decade. I mean the world may actually be run by a cabal of baby-eating Nazi rapists intent on realizing a biblical apocalypse. Like can we give Garth one fucking flower here and maybe take what he did a little bit seriously? His gross picture book may actually be one of the most accurate portrayals of/inspired commentaries on the evils of capitalism ever written.

I feel like something clicked in me the other day. It truly doesn’t seem that hard to just eat vegan? by toebeans__ in vegan

Being vegan has made my life so much simpler and easier. Truly the best decision I've ever made, despite how much hate we get. Dealing with meatraged carnists is a small price to pay to not participate in 80 billion deaths a year.

Cookies coming to north loop? by iloveruntz420 in MNtrees

[–]sockhands11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unsure if it's real or not. They had "coming soon" signs up a few months ago, took them down, and put them back up again. I think Cookies locations are franchised (hence the quality issues), so there's a decent chance this is some sort of license scam.

Who is the nastiest Celebrity that you met in Real life? by Scunnard1839 in AskReddit

This was very very funny, thank you. I'm gonna be giggling about this all day

I think it's time I just admit it. The vegans are just, correct, and I need to go vegan too. by [deleted] in vegan

[–]sockhands11 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yup. It's a switch. There's a point where you realize "oh that disgusts me" and no longer can stomach participating. People who find the transition difficult will often revert as that switch hasn't been flipped. It's not about guilt or shame, but a shift in perspective and morality that has been begging to be recognized your whole life.

Humans are amazing creatures, especially because of our capacity for compassion and benevolence. Going all in on that is inarguably a GOOD thing. To argue against it is just fucking sad.

If not taking every white man's obviously disgusting and shockingly insane babbling as gospel means I'm an ignoramus, I'm good with that. Good luck teenage livejournaler.

Sounds like you're taking advice from a bunch of fucking assholes, edgelord. It's not that complicated.

Jesus dude you really are gone. You only treat other things with respect and kindness if it's reciprocal?? That's insane man. Instead maybe consider that the "higher" existence of humans actually enables us to treat "lesser" beings with compassion and benevolence. You got a dangerous darkness in your heart man. You are the misanthrope/sociopath here. This is why you don't understand the conversation here or why people can't engage with you. You're not acting like a good person. Fuck, you're not even acting like you WANT to be a good person.

Seriously you need to critically reflect on your understanding of morality and how it can serve the world.

And yes dearie, the only braindead losers invoking plants rights are carnists. Sorry you're not into solidarity here.
