yeah he would have unhinged his jaw like a snake and eaten it immediately

i think you need to look up how supply and demand works. i’ve exhausted my “arguing with people on the internet who clearly don’t want their minds changed” time for today, so have a good one.

yeah dude vegans make up a pretty small portion of the population, so of course the meat industry hasn’t been just erased like magic. societal changes like this happen at a glacial pace and the idea is that more people become vegan over time and thus demand for those products gradually falls. even if 10% of the population went vegan, demand for those products would fall by 10% and there would be that many less animals killed for it because it would not be profitable.

to claim that it is ineffective is like claiming that eating healthy makes no difference from eating like shit after doing it for a single day and not seeing amazing results.

being vegan is literally about not supporting the meat industry, so i genuinely do not understand what you’re trying to say. that one person alone being vegan won’t make a difference? that not supporting the meat industry is the same as supporting the meat industry, which is demonstrably false? i don’t know of a more easy and effective way for a single person to make a difference than to stop supporting it altogether, and broad change starts with individuals deciding to make that change.

please explain to me how what i wrote is different from what you wrote

so you’re saying that they would just keep killing more and more animals to produce more and more meat even if nobody wanted to buy it?

they are paid because people buy the products. if nobody bought the products, there would be no money in it. are you trying to say that people would be paid to kill animals even if nobody bought animal products?

how do you think meat gets to the grocery store? someone has to kill an animal, and the person buying the meat typically pays money for it.

i bet you aren’t even certified to run that nuclear reactor in your base, probably isn’t even up to code

its more about treating dead (and living) animals as a commodity for me personally. you probably wouldn’t want someone to turn your corpse into a fucked up teddy bear for a laugh.

i’m glad you posted about it - it’s something i, and i’m sure many other people who are struggling, tend to think about.

i think it’s generally a good thing to talk about these sorts of topics, especially ones like depression where it’s easy to get lost in your own thoughts and it can feel like you’re the only one suffering like this. i know for a fact that it helped me realize that i’m not alone and that there are ways out of the pit i found myself in, despite feeling like it would never get better and my suffering was so unique that there was no cure.

granted, commiserating alone won’t get you back to a happy baseline, but it does broadcast this to others who might not realize it: you are not alone, there are people who care, and it is not impossible to be happy again. i wish you the best.

remember: never share anything and never engage with others. keep all of your thoughts and emotions and ideas to yourself at all times. especially on the internet, a platform designed to enhance global communication!

yeah it’s hard to meme about my nether chest full of rats when reddit still has all the polytetrafluoroethylene smh

thank you for putting in the effort to even think about the ace homies lol. it was actually really refreshing to see it even brought up in this thread since it isn’t talked about a lot!

from what i’ve read it can vary a lot from person to person, and it is a spectrum. in my experience i can compare it to aphantasia, where i haven’t experienced this thing that many people consider central to their lives and those around them but it really hasn’t affected me in a negative way that i can perceive. as i understand it, asexuality is purely the lack of sexual attraction, and theres plenty more words to further specify where people fall on the spectrum if you want to look it up.

i think a lot of the “iffy” ace identification/definition you can read about online simply comes from it being so hard to prove the absence of a thing, when the opposite can be so easy.
