Disagree

That is incredibly selfish of you to say.

No it isn't. Animals aren't people. Killing them for food is okay. Killing babies for abortion purposes is okay too. Killing people in self-defense or in a defensive war is okay.

You are the one who needs to grow up. To kill is to be human.

You need to grow up and start caring about others.

Yeah I do, other people, not literal farm animals.

You wouldn’t like it if people say they didn’t care about trans people

They don't. Majority of the population of the UK is also against all fundamental trans rights that have already been present for decades. This isn't the same though, people aren't fucking animals, not even trans people.

Any discussion about human morals is fundamentally irrelevant.

So knock it off and be better. You have no right to participate and excuse the exploitation and murder of the animals. Many people have changed their minds after they saw the horrors what the animals have gone through.

I have seen it all and I don't care. It's not that I don't have that reactionary emotional response like "oh this is horrible!" It's that I realize such a response is illogical and when mediated through some thinking actually there's not anything wrong with killing animals for food that I can think of apart from "that YouTube video looks unpleasant".

You can't win me over with optics grandstanding. If I actually think about it hell yeah let em mfers burn and churn lol, mommy needs her protein dust.

That is whaboutism distracting from the real issue.. did you know that factory farms workers are exploited relentlessly and it’s often poor folks who are of colour.

No it's not whataboutism, do you know what whataboutism is? It's when you say something like:

That is whaboutism distracting from the real issue.. did you know that

To shift the conversation from the IPCC report that you used in your already tangentially related cause from environmentalism to something entirely different based on moral grandstanding.

Nonetheless yes I know sweatshops exist. If those people weren't working farms they'd be doing other hard manual labour. That's not an issue that can be solved by "voting with your wallet" by not buying meat, nor is it anything exclusive to the food industry.

It's very funny to accuse the other of whataboutism and then proceed to do it.

Like if I brought up that

• Vegan leather is a massive contributor to microplastics and hasn't saved any animals and they still die anyway, or the fact that
• Pesticides necessary to sustain any large population of vegans causing extreme damage to the environment
• Or the health issues of being vegan or
• The many instances of vegans forcing obligate carnivore animals like cats to be vegan
• health implications of meat replacements, not to mention it's environmental impact and when you bring these up, vegans will say you just shouldn't eat it that much. Not much of a replacement for something you can eat every day for the rest of your life then is it? Yikes. Speaking of:

I dont miss meat at all. There are plenty of tasty plant-based foods out there. You just need to try them out. Look at Turkurky, Impossible and Beyond for direct meat alternatives.

Yes, you and I are entirely different people. I love eating meat, almost every single one of my meals has red meat and has had since I was born, while if there was anything worthwhile to sacrififce my culture and diet for I'd do it, but as it stands I'm not doing so to make the air better for billionaires.

Easy to say that when you’re healthier right now when you can still participate in your own hobbies. We don’t need selfish people like you putting extra strain on the healthcare system.

I've contributed many times over my fair share to the healthcare system as an immigrant who has to pay the NHS Surcharge in the hundreds per year for years and now as a net tax contributor. If boomers can be a strain on it despite doing fuck all for anyone, then so can I, and I can't wait. Sadly for me, I'm incredibly healthy, because eating meat isn't unhealthy.

Just because it is enjoyable for you does not make it okay for you to exploit others. Rape is enjoyable for the perpetrators but we all know that isn’t a legitimate excuse.

Rape is wrong because it's a violent act performed without a person's consent.

Picking up my cat off my desk where he shouldn't go without his consent is okay, because he's not a person to begin with.

Eating animals without their consent is thus, okay, because they're animals, not "others", the food chain isn't fucking rape jesus goddamn christ get a fucking grip.

Honestly how fucking dare you use rape for your own soapbox vegan preaching?

Go touch grass you absolute lunatic.

Eat a burger or something, get the juices flowing in your starved brain and fucking think before you write next time, nutter.

Yeah. One is a people suffering from a horrific disorder in desperate need of effective medical care (transition) and the other is a fashion subculture. Muddying the waters by the latter has been politically disastrous for the former, but I'm not here to blame anyone because it all would've ended pretty badly thanks to the rightoids anyway.

Idk what you're on about regarding community and iconography, I was not aware gender fluid folks had any iconography specific to them nor do I remember claiming any.

Gender is bullshit anyway. Associating behaviours and fashion to it is an incorrect way to think. Instead - consider a more deconstructive approach, you are a unique human with unique experiences and relationship to weird societal hangups, it doesn't need to be more complex than that.

"gender" dysphoria is real but likely a neurological condition related to birth sex and brain development than anything else, certainly nothing to do with gender.

You can doubt it all you want it may still be true. You can manipulate a flat rather into believing the earth is round, he can doubt it,.but it will still be round.

It makes the difference preventing the deaths of the animals

I don't care about that. Fundamentally in my view it's okay to kill animals to eat them because they're tasty. I don't think you can really change that view.

and reduces water and land usage

I'll be happy to make that sacrifice, but the impact to my quality of life will be disproportional compared to the actual savings incurred since compared to a billionaire I don't consume or produce much environmental damage in the first place.

I'm already doing the most environmentally-sound thing one can do - be child-free. I'm trans so it was gonna happen either way but I'll claim the points. I don't drive either, not that I wouldn't want a gas guzzling F-150 I don't need to barrel down the crossing by the school in and grind away the plebs below, who wouldn't? So that's a helluva sacrifice too.

Therefore I see no reason why I should have to do anything to cover for them until they stop polluting. Fundamentally I see no reason to "save the earth" if we don't have an egalitarian world worth fighting for, and all indicators point in the opposite direction at the moment.

You’re not giving up anything when you stop eating meat

False, eating meat is one of a few good things about being alive. You may not see it that way but it's subjective. To me it's a very significant sacrifice and a reduction in quality of life.

it’s quite the opposite really you’re much healthier on a whole foods plant-based diet

I don't really care. I'm already doing far too much for my "health", just so the bastards up top can exploit me into my elderly years instead of being some lead poisoned boomer who just chills out off their infinite house price raises and pensions going to conspiracy conventions or whatever it is they do.

Do not base your character by comparing yourself to the most morally reprehensible in our society.

There's nothing morally wrong with eating meat in my view to start with so I don't view any of this as morally reprehensible, it's a sacrifice and a pretty big one, and living the working class life I already got jack and shit, so its not unfair that we get our fair share first. Then I'll buy into sacrifices for a world worth saving.

Raynaud's, Nic, caffeine and Elvanse - no better combo for having feet cold enough to be a weapon.

Yes my dear less intellectualy gifted friend, it did not, but if you sent it in for maintenance to Toyota in the past say 10 years, and Toyotas made or serviced by Toyota and contractors in the past 10 years started dropping out of the sky and whistleblowers who say the problem has been around for decades start dropping dead, one might wonder whether a systemic issue could also impact the quality of maintenance on older Toyotas.

Yes, all Russian bots and populism. Can't possibly be that a good chunk of Americans are just kinda fucked up themselves in the first place, can't be that that is why it's so easy for like 50 kopeck vatnik army on dial up and vodka to obliterate the country.

Also taking issue with your own country's imperialism like the arms supplies leading to excess deaths in Gaza on the order of a right wing nutter with a warrant from the ICC or god forbid things like the Iraq war is the same as being racist, sexist, anti-abortion, anti-science, pro-shooting, anti-LGBT... truly a neoliberal stand if ever there was one - not against bad things but against principles altogether.

It wasn't an insult.

Boeing had QC issues since the queen of the skies, and especially throughout and after the merger, not just with the initial build but service and retrofits too. This has been a systemic issue since '87. Just because you and the rest of the downvoters don't know better doesn't mean it's not true.

No shit, nicotine like all other stimulants like vyvanse or Adderall or even coffee are all vasoconstrictors. So are 5-HT2A psychs like shrooms and LSD.

The findings in nic free juice are interesting though. I'd also like it if there was a study on nicotine salts specifically.

Older vapes used freebase nicotine, quite unpleasant in high doses, like 6mg/10ml, so we vaped a lot of juice with a smaller nicotine concentration.

On the other hand nic salts are a very different ballgame, elfbars have like 24mg/10ml strength and you feel no throat hit at all. It feels "unnatural" and vibes tell me to worry.

That was weed vapes with vitamin e acetate as a thickener. Not a thing in legit and regulated nicotine vapes.

Saw DHL and thought maybe it was an A300. Nope, Boeing. Too early to say but it doesn't look good on Boeing.

"following people", including whoever "Susie Dent" is, is fundamentally an incompatible concept with a forum structure of Lemmy or the "thousand niche spaces" culture of Mastodon.

I would go one step further and say all celebrity culture is fundamentally incompatible with decentralisation of power as a principle when put into practice architecturally and ideologically

Or you can eat meat and tackle inequality. Doesn't make a difference, ultimately, does it?

And ultimately it makes sense that if one is sacrificing eating meat for the environment, then it should be those that do the most harm to said environment that make said sacrifice first.

Yes, hilarious even, truly an unheard of occurrence. Blocked.

What works from your perspective or sample size of users may not reflect the larger target audience.

The inverse is also true, and what you're saying is indicative of a personal issue on your behalf as stated.

learn this thing over all the other things they can learn with their limited time in the day?

Because they want to use it? What?

It sounds like you haven't had much exposure with respect to UX design (which is understandable, it's still a growing field).

I've taken UI design and UX classes at uni like probably most people here, thank you very much Mr. Expert man and we all know what a fucking target audience is.

What is considered simple or easy to understand for an engineer can be interpreted extremely differently by the target user. To get the right approach, options need testing and evaluation, and the design engineers need understanding and humility when they go back to the drawing board.

Generic statements of no substance. We all know what UX is lol.

The base browser UI feels dated

That's a totally subjective statement.

maybe a step up from a wireframe design.

Modern

More subjective nonsense. You don't actually know even a layman's basic gist of UX so you could parrot something half-way intelligent, yet you speak on it like an authority.

You want to criticize then give specifics - too many clicks? Too many buttons on any screen? Confusing flow somewhere? Jesus Christ at least watch some breakdowns of UIs online.

This is UX friction. Why should someone need to set this up to get rid of duplication.

This is nonsense. Reposts are just how the internet is and I get duplication on my Instagram feed due to them all the same.

then why shouldn't there be away to just see it once automatically

Because there isn't anywhere else either. Have you even ever used social media?

You just seethe and seethe because you can't read or are choosing to respond to a strawman of some Ignoramus you conjured in your head when the plain naked truth is you are wrong and you can't accept that.

People gravitate towards the social media their friends and family are on.

Which has nothing to do with

The corporate sites make it very simple. 1 corporation, 1 server, an email, a password, and you're good to go.

That's just a non-sequitur from the family/friends thing. Plus having the email already makes it 2 servers, 2 corporations etc.

Your instance may not be federated with instances like Lemmynsfw

Yes it is but you have to browse those instances and sub to them to get it in your feed.

You wrote a lot of words but said absolutely nill, it is the very antithesis of meaning and sense, worthy of my time only as an impressionist's abstract portrayal of AI slop. Blocked.

Nah if you tricked people into getting vaccines you'd be right because getting vaccines is still the right choice.

To OP: how you convince people of a fact doesn't change that fact, you can manipulate people to believe a lie as much as a truth. The latter is what democrats need to do to win against Trump for instance, lie and cheat and disparage the opposition at every opportunity, call them all molestors, party of Epstein island etc etc and just fool people into believing the right thing just like trump, putin etc. fool people into believing the wrong thing.

Name a more iconic duo. Based based based.
