@sunnycastformxx @bisexualjimkirk You're pushing back against a claim I didn't make. I said it's *often* the case, which is true.

@AftynOSRS @bisexualjimkirk this just.... isn't true there are plenty of medical related reasons that people can't cut certain things out of their diet and it's none of OUR business anyway
English
I’ve tried so many times to go vegetarian because I love animals but whenever I cut meat out of my diet I get very sick. I work with dogs professionally, I love animals. But I have to prioritize my health. I get ethically sourced local meat, you can love animals and eat meat.

Billie Eilish says eating meat is WRONG and people can’t claim to love animals if they eat meat 😳👀

@micsolana When I first saw the hypothetical I assumed everyone meant everyone, fuck me I guess
English
interesting how completely the conversation has shifted to kids. initially, most people assumed we were talking about adults, not babies smashing buttons, which kind of breaks the thought experiment. that this is all we’re now discussing implies blues understand they were wrong.

Since everyone was very curious my answer, my answer is obviously blue. Gotta save the naive, the kids, the blue lovers, and the principally hope-pilled people. You red button pickers need therapy.

@jeglikerkatter2 @anarcho_baker It often does bother them, they just eat the meat from that industry regardless. Cognitive dissonance being an obvious reason, but also factors like cultural expectations/norms and misinformation about the alternatives play a role.
English
@anarcho_baker If you look at videos of standard slaughterhouse practices and your reaction is something along the lines of "eh, this dosen't bother me", you're most likely a psychopath.
English
Its unethical to eat meat if a person can be healthy without eating meat due to the technology/economy of their society. This is why I have no ethical objection to a human eating meat in the stone age, but strong ethical objections to a human eating meat in modern England.

Billie 2019: “I hate when vegans shove their diet down your throat… I keep mine private.”
Billie now: “Eating meat is inherently wrong and you can’t truly love animals if you do it!!!”
The hypocrisy is elite!
English
@obstacle_127 The goal/message should simply be this: aim to make consumption choices that reduce suffering where possible.
That's it. No claim on perfection or moral absolutism, just try to do less harm.
English
moreover, many people (especially in black & brown communities) have far less access to fresh produce making veganism a matter of privilege. indigenous people have also practiced meat consumption sustainably and without cruelty for centuries before capitalism.
English
veganism is not inherently a morally superior position. the vegetables and fruits you consume are also harvested via immense cruelty & exploitation, not to even mention indigenous practices or food deserts. if you care about animals, the position to take is anti-capitalism.

@_Shadowlogic This is incorrect. Many venomous species (especially elapids like cobras, coral snakes, mambas) are venomous with rounded heads. Plus some harmless snakes will flatten their head to look more pointed (for various reasons, e.g. mimicry of other species)
English
veganism is miles cheaper than eating meats
Psta@ahmedPsta9
Girl not everyone can afford to go vegan like you
English
@cakedpotatoes @oltxiu @tittyleds @bezzypoo For people in general sure. But the kind of people who are willing to improve their diet (vegans just being one example) are the kind of people who'll do research to know what they're getting into
English
@oltxiu @tittyleds @bezzypoo Okay but it's a widely known fact that the vast majority of people both do not know what they're doing and don't cook their own meals
English
@digdigpipijigj @poponze I'm not a vegan but by far the cheapest foods in my diet are the foods that are vegan-friendly

Billie Eilish critica quem diz amar os animais, mas consome carne:
“Comer carne é inerentemente errado. E outra coisa é: duas coisas não podem coexistir. 'Eu amo animais.' e 'Eu como carne'. Só que… não dá pra fazer os dois. Desculpe. Você pode comer carne, vai em frente. Pode amar os animais, mas não dá pra fazer os dois.”

@CFC_Junior_ @MrBeast Up to half of the human population dying being framed as "nothing happens" makes it hard to take this seriously

Everyone on earth takes a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press? BE HONEST.

@OriolanoChill They gotta use AI to portray it because it doesn't happen in real life

@Rozewraith____ @cheenmachine2 The rest of us can make up fake scenarios in our head as well buddy

@cheenmachine2 In reality: At the end of the experiment, blue pushers die, humanity enter a golden age of prosperity and advancement. Colonies on the moon, technologies you couldn't even begin to imagine, medical advancements that let people live past 300.

@SirSicCrusader They hear "mutations are random" and assume that means evolution itself is a random process, not realizing natural selection is the actual driving force behind it.
English
Weird how these people are never evolutionary biologists... almost like they might be missing some key insight.

@it_a_me_knowlzy Everyone clicking red would solve it yes, but in any realistic situation that's never going to happen. Thus making a blue win the only way in which everyone survives.
English
Is this some weird ass litmus test or something?
Everyone pressing red solves the whole thing I think?
Am I being punked?
