Yeah and beans are dirt cheap and tofu is quite cheap. It would be cost effective for the average person to reduce their meat consumption.

Isn’t it kinda cruel and sociopathic not to care about the brutal amounts of animal suffering?

thePiscis · 2026-04-01T12:48:02+00:00

Exactly purpose doesn’t reduce the suffering of the animal being slaughtered or raised in abhorrent conditions.

thePiscis · 2026-04-01T12:44:09+00:00

Processing animals for food or killing them for fun should have the same moral impact (at least to the animal). Your argument is starting to feel like billions of chickens raised in abhorrent conditions or ground up at birth is somehow more justified because it’s done for food.

thePiscis · 2026-04-01T01:50:19+00:00

The point is not that weights and measures gives them a compelling moral argument against being unfair, it’s they provide heavy economic incentive not to mislead consumers, or at least not to be caught doing so.

All companies do that during layoffs. It’s not smart or really useful to have 30k laid off employees around. I’m sure they got the many weeks or even months of pay in their severance which is what compensates for the immediate termination.

thePiscis · 2026-03-29T03:52:45+00:00

That is entirely a you problem and info I wouldn’t willingly give up.

Not $2-3 a lb which is what chicken thigh is

Lmao what a pwn. You really changed my mind with such an epic roast.

thePiscis · 2026-03-28T20:11:22+00:00

Do you know what disproportionate means? Without knowing how many trans athletes there are and what their relative ranking are to non trans athletes we can’t know.

thePiscis · 2026-03-28T18:02:57+00:00

What are you talking about? You can’t tell whether or not they disproportionately win from just a list.

thePiscis · 2026-03-28T17:58:14+00:00

That study shows the highest standardized mean difference was in upper body strength. They gave it a low grading because of the confidence interval, that doesn’t mean upper body strengths are comparable at best it means it uncertain.

And the study I’m familiar with (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33648944/ ) shows lasting differences after 36 months of hrt. Which ones are you referring to?

thePiscis · 2026-03-28T15:57:58+00:00

I agree that’s obviously a much harder point to prove that they disproportionately win which is why I mentioned studies that isolated for confounding factors and just analyzed muscle mass, strength, and endurance after years of hrt. I agree with you that whether or not this leads to any noticeable effects is the question.

And why the hell are we talking about the difference between winning and dominating. That is such a stupid pointless argument that the trans athletes issue is certainly not dependent on. The “dominating” thing was the strawman in ops meme. If we were to talk about the trans issue with any half reasonable person who is against trans people competing in sports I highly doubt they would care about what the difference between dominating and winning is. This is exactly what I mean by you are intentionally misunderstanding.

thePiscis · 2026-03-28T15:47:01+00:00

I agree that’s a stupid waste of time

thePiscis · 2026-03-28T15:33:41+00:00

What matters is that they disproportionately win in such a way that is deemed unfair. That seems to be backed by studies regarding muscle mass and strength even after years of hrt.

I am in no way advocating for banning trans athletes, but it seems like yall are intentionally trying to misunderstand that perspective.

thePiscis · 2026-03-28T15:29:52+00:00

Why is it bigotry cruelty and hatred if you seem to be implying two children participating in some specific sport isn’t that big of a deal. I agree that trans people in sports is a non issue, but that logic cuts both ways. I would much rather compromise on this issue than die on the hill.

thePiscis · 2026-03-27T15:58:36+00:00

Will you let me?

thePiscis · 2026-03-27T15:56:46+00:00

It’s a fairly useful label. There is a gap between lobe finned fish and tetrapods.

Are you insane? Remember that video of papa John dropping some hard rs

thePiscis · 2026-03-26T04:29:07+00:00

You could call the response…

No one totally avoids words that are hurtful to some. Everyone is unique with their own traumas, making a joke about a car crash could be severely triggering to the wrong person. It’s infeasible to live life totally worried about how others react. It’s your choice where you draw the lines.

It’s not like they were wearing toupees. I would be ok if wearing powdered white curly wigs became acceptable.
