did you guys know people are removing their organ donor status because they genuinely truly believe doctors are, like, maliciously harvesting organs from people who would otherwise pull through and putting them on the black market?
PassiveAggressiveIncome@indexnforgetit
The day I learned you can’t harvest organs from a dead person is the day I changed my license from organ donor

@MAL1KNABERS @TheWapplehouse None of the commercial airline pilots I've flown with have crashed so they're probably better.
English
@TheWapplehouse Thank god the podcaster gave their opinion on what the best pilots in the world should be doing
English
1 out of 10 Blue Angel pilots die in a crash. Maybe stimming in a board room pretending real hard to fly a plane is a stupid way to practice.

@BuzzPatterson This part trips me out. Th preparation that goes into this.

@CantEverDie Is there any way we can set them against the anti-vegans?

radfems are going to start admitting that they think bland diets reduce sexual desires

@isaacturnersong A monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors.

@idkijustthibk Notably, The Vegan Society coined the term "vegan" and has used that definition since at least the 80s.
English
The most popular and mainstream definition of veganism that has been around for decades has “as far as possible and practicable” as a condition of avoiding harm towards nonhuman animals, and people still think we’re saying “disabled people in food deserts should go vegan”.

@AnimeSerbia A lot of people are pretending they never liked Elon the same way they're pretending they never liked Hamilton
English
Elon had an absolutely immaculate public perception before the Thailand rescue diver stuff. It was very very common to just call him a real life Tony Stark. He also wasnt *too* much more cringe than the memes at the time either so people saw him as "A billionaire who gets us!"

i'm really just noticing how conspicuously widespread these references were for a short period of time. it came up in star trek too. did he pay a PR team to try to get his name in tv shows, or were writers just all organically doing this?

Making veganism a class issue is so fucking lame

Gacha players are slowly reverse engineering gacha games back to normal games
Ima@kuchibavibes
if I made a gacha game: - no 50/50 - 60 pity = 5 star - craftable signature weapons - 100+ pulls per patch - balanced gender ratio - androgynous mc - multiple skins for each character - skill based endgame - selectable gear stats - frequent character kit adjustments

it straight up never occurs to some people that there are some ideas that you can't really understand as a layman because they're too complicated. and it would be a bad thing to pretend otherwise and only pass down warped, extremely simplified versions of those ideas!
Coren ✒🎨@CorenLaVolpe
Truly intelligent people can describe complex ideas in a way that a layman can understand. Being verbose is intentional obfuscation to maintain their little "elite" circle.

@ilovemeatwad This person is just rage baiting to monetize their account.

@tacitdimension Cue 50 replies explaining that this doesn't count because Russians aren't technically actually people.

@Skye_Melissax My high school girlfriend lived on a pig farm. Her dad ran it by himself, with my occasional help in the summer. Fruit and veggie farms tend to require a lot more workers
English
@Johntheduncan I wish this was true but since the "annoying vegan" stereotype was never really based on reality this will change nothing.
English
The cultural moment where "the annoying vegan" is a recognisable and legitimate target of ridicule is clearly over since self consciously non-vegan people are way more annoying and self righteous
English
Guy who says being vegan is too hard while unironically thinking they’re gonna participate in a socialist revolution

@jan_dutkiewicz @F_Vaggi But there's a dozen replies providing objective proof that she's wrong, and her response is to lock the post. Lack of double-checking can't explain that.
English
@F_Vaggi I don't actually think so. I think most of the time is the rehashing of claims that have some degree of truthiness to them - emissions in transport, soy consumption - and not double checking. I think motivated reasoning is a second-order response to being challenged. My 2 cents.
English
The Billie Eilish vegan discourse is an incredible test of people's ability to do very basic research.
Case in point:
1. Most soy goes to livestock feed, not human food.
2. Transport is a tiny part of any food's emissions. What is produced, not where or how, matters most.
Valerie❤️🔥❤️🔥@Valistryingg
Everything about her activism gives privileged homeschooler. The increase in demand for soya due to the rise in veganism is in part responsible for deforestation of the Amazon. Also, fruits and veg that are out of season and have to be imported, have high Carbon footprints.
