The obvious feedback is be honest and tell them, but then again Indian parents are a different deal. My friend is now married to an Indian girl, and they lied about their relationship for about a year. She was “hanging out with friends” pretty much every weekend. She was “looking forward to sharing a bed after the wedding”. And it worked out for them, she didn’t get her relationship meddled in and they’re none the wiser.
Lucky. I think about my own mortality literally every single night, it’s become a pattern that I have to just stop thinking about, like, block that thought, think about something else otherwise panic.
I hate hate hate that I’m going to die, I will rage against it for as long as I live (hopefully forever as CRISPR will allow… Right?)
No sorry it was ai
I think racism and tribalism is easy. It’s the first thought of an uneducated person, it’s base, it’s instinct, and it feels good to follow through on any conviction. But most people had no good reason to he racist, you worked with a few migrants, the black guy at college was great, and Jackie Chan movies are great. Then the internet / bot farms / Russia came along, and fed the uneducated a constant steady stream of racist content. Couple that with the people who found politics too boring getting Donald Trump. And he’s seen the racist bot farm content too! He just gets us! Bam, a recipe for disaster.
Man the ones in Melbourne Australia cost up to $3,000 to adopt, unless you get Pitbulls and mastiffs, then it’s $600. I just adopted a little Maltese looking thing for 1.5k
Imagining complaining about someone tipping out fresh water, while eating a burger when a single kilo of beef uses between 15,000 to 200,000 liters.
Like, until you stop doing the worst thing a single consumer can do to the planet for literally nothing but greed and pleasure (eating meat instead of healthier alternatives), you have no leg to criticize.
The holocaust was well scaled too. Animal ag is responsible for 15-20% of the entire planets GHG emissions. You can live a healthier, more morally consistent life if you give up meat.
1 beef burger is equivalent in water consumption to 7.5million chatgpt queries.
All the people here chastising LLMs for resource wastage, I swear to god if you aren’t vegan…
I have some music on streaming services, and get a couple of coins every month. If you pirate my music instead, I’ll get nothing.
I like Tidal, it pays the artists the most of all services.
If you could voluntarily STOP your taxes going to these wars, you would, right? That’s what I’m doing when I stop buying meat, literally stopping the sale of meat.
But hey, good luck with your preaching for mass suicide I guess. I’ll keep being based here on earth while you waste yourself.
I’m guessing this is your alt account huh. Because your last one got banned? Still speaking with the same monosyllabic single sentence “no-u” I see.
That’s relative privation - appeal to worse problems. It incorrectly assumes that we can or should only care about the current worst suffering and that moral concern is zero sum.
There’s very little I can do to end the wars in Ukraine, Gaza, Iran etc. But I am directly funding and maintaining the meat industry every time I buy meat.
Also don’t kill yourself, that’s cringe. Be based, fight on.
Well that person is literally helping you sleep at night by reducing the planets GHG emissions. You’re welcome I guess?
Yeah currently the difference doesn’t amount to much because we’re still eating livestock, BUT if we stopped eating that livestock, we could return to a more natural Australia where shooting our national animals isn’t a requirement.
As I said, you’re right, eating roos is definitely better, but your argument is an appeal to futility, “I won’t be able to convince everyone to stop eating meat, so I’ll continue doing moral failures”. You could use that argument to continue all horrible injustices, right? “I won’t be able to convince everyone to vote for Labor, so I’ll vote Liberal as well”.
It’s much MUCH easier to convince people to drop meat when you’ve done it yourself, I’ve converted 5 of my friends over the course of my 6 years, two of which are from rural NZ.
Hahaha why do people just spout complete bullshit like they know anything.
A Poore and Nemeck 2008 meta-analysis covering 38,000 farms in 119 countries found that food systems contribute 26% of the planets GHG emissions, of which ~57% comes from animal ag. Meaning this study found ~15% of the entire planets GHG comes from animal ag.
Don’t forget, 70% of the food we grow is fed directly to farm animals instead of humans.
Stop spewing bullshit and look up the data?
Eating planet based obviously != Virtue signalling unless you publically mention it, so there’s that issue solved for you.
But what a lazy and incurious way to live, “I will continue perpetuation moral atrocities while contributing to the destruction of the planet unless daddy government tells me to stop”.
Damn and they call vegans “pussies”.
Eww Bad Empanada? That guy is unreasonably gross.
