  • If it kills you, its not “safe for human consumption” which is the defining characteristic between something edible and any random item you can stuff down your throat.

    You can eat anything once. If it’s edible you can eat it more than once. Words having meanings. Yes, I am fun at parties.

    And I’m saying until vegans create their own self deprecating humor the only kind that will exist is this stuff you find cringe.

    Vegans are well know for being thin skinned. Specifically the ones who are vocal about being vegans. I am away most vegans just do their thing and ignore this stuf, but those people aren’t on here feeling the cringe.










  • My criticism here isn’t about any specific group or topic. It’s about this aggravating debate pattern where rhetoric is used to paint the opponent’s argument into a morally charged form rather than addressing the actual claim being made.

    That style of engagement is not something that ever leads to meaningful discussions.

    A similar dynamic occurs in other highly polarized subjects where participants are more focused on signaling moral positions than resolving the underlying question.

    This sort of shit has been going on since at least the times of Artistole who championed logic over emotion.

    Arguing with vegans is like arguing with antivaxxers, they are positions based on emotions and they have their own version of reality they use to reinforce their believes. They often claim they have studies to back up their claims but the most shallow dive shows them to be bullshit.

    It’s literally evident as they try to reframe this as rape. Their need to lean on rhetoric shows they have a strong basis for their believes.
