  • Here’s a quote from the site you cherry picked

    Some people may choose to go vegan, for some it may be because they do not believe in farmed animal practices and animal exploitation, for others it may be due to environmental concerns. Whatever the reason The Vegan Society is here to support everyone on their vegan journey.

    Gee, looks like the vegan society also recognizes some people become vegan because of climate change… Or maybe you are going to redefine more terms so you can win your argument.



  • Got it, so you are emotionally defining veganism in such a way that you aren’t actually vegan if you don’t get there for emotional reasons.

    If that’s your definition of veganism then of course nobody can get there with reason. You’ve created a tautology with your emotion filled definition.

    For the record, veganism is defined by MW as

    : a strict vegetarian who consumes no food (such as meat, eggs, or dairy products) that comes from animals

    also : one who abstains from using animal products (such as leather)

    https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/vegan

    That was the definition I was operating under. Sorry I didn’t Intuit your arbitrary definition you pulled from “eat meat.com” or whatever you got it.


  • Meat production is a prime contributor to climate change. Large amounts of resources go into raising meat. Further, cattle and pig production (not so much chicken) is the prime pathway to food contamination. Whenever you see lettuce recalls because of e. coli, that’s because animal shit got mixed in with the lettuce or the water for the lettuce.

    Choosing not to eat meat because of these facts seems like a pretty rational choice, no emotion involved.




  • It’s about stopping centralized programs which would actually address public needs. “We don’t need universal healthcare, here’s a charity that helps people with the bubonic plague!”

    And in the worst cases, it’s a grift for the wealthy. Where the charities exist to do scammy things like pay the founder to fly to luxury resorts to give a talk about why poverty is bad. Or to fund your family members solar manufacturing company. Or to put fuel into your church’s private jet so you don’t run the risk of catching demons from the public.



  • This, btw, is why CVE scores are insane at times.

    The vulnerability is that when spawning a new process which is a bat file you need special treatment of the arguments to avoid spawning a second process.

    So you need a rust program setup to spawn other processes which also somehow forwards unparsed user input into those processes and is executing a bat file.

    There’s a reason nobody has fixed this, it’s because it’s an insane setup that affects basically no rust programs.

    Anyone interested in this, I suggest listening to the “Data over dogma” podcast.

    The Bible is a book with multiple authors that had completely different conceptions of God and that borrowed local traditions for their own.

    For example, the belief in one god is believed by scholars to be a later change to the Bible. In that region, it would be more common for the belief to be that there’s a God of a land or nation with their power bound to that land. The world was viewed as one with a battle of the gods rather than being one with a supreme ruler.

    This is why the Bible so often disagrees with itself. Because each author had their own motives and were sometimes responding to each other in their writings.
