  • You’re talking about sentient beings capable of making informed consent then as a vegan i would have no problem with the feces being used. Veganism is aimed to eliminate animal suffering and here we have a naturally occurring byproducts in which an animal is making informed consent and not being taken advantage of.

    However, I’m not a big enough trekkie to know how the replicated food is programmed to begin with. Ive talked about this with my SO before but when you have lab grown meat then it still would’ve been result of a nonconsenting animal at some point and not strictly vegan. Replicated meat products are in the same category i believe. Also perhaps the food programming process used non-meat foods that didn’t derive from animal suffering to begin with (like a vegan burger that is deceptively convincing).

    Great shitpost ;)




  • It also confused me at first. Here’s what i (not an expert) make of it: sounds like mangione and his lawyer had a phone call which should have been private. The district attorney probably was listening to mangiones other calls, and this attorney call was recorded or handed over to district attorney in error. The district attorney initially said they immediately stopped listening once they recognized it was an attorney call, but they actually listened to the entire thing which is a huge violation of attorney-client privilege



  • I mean that he has shown bad judgement and couldn’t help himself from messaging his SIL in an escalation that is clearly against the bounds of his relationship with the sister. So in the case of an addict he would be addicted to the feeling of doing this type of behavior. People can get addicted to all sorts of things, behaviors or activities. In this case i think he “couldn’t help himself” from making a bad decision, which does show to me on some level he could be addicted to some part of this.


  • Ive been vegan for more than a decade and most of my circle is vegan. I don’t think i know of any vegans against cut flowers. The only argument i can see is that if you were cutting flowers found in the wild then you could be harming the environment which indirectly hurts the wildlife and pollinators. But i think most vegans would be ok with buying flowers. My wife and i also just grow our own and cut only a fraction of what we plant.

    Btw if we’re talking about Costco for chicken, they do have reasonably sized bouquets for as cheap as $10. And while that chicken will be gone in a day or two, Ive kept a Costco bouquet alive for my wife for a minimum of a week.


  • He is some flavor of perv or addict. He probably does or thinks about doing these type of things all the time, but he chose you because you’re family which gave him some sort of an “in” and more likely to respond to him than if he just DM’ed any other woman he’s creeping on.

    His intention imo was just masturbatory fodder and it probably wasn’t much more than that. He may be smart normally but if he’s perving or an addict then his judgement is being clouded. And him trying to talk to you like this is an escalation because he was trying to establish some type of connection rather than do his creeping in silence.

    What your sister should realize that if he’s done this to you then he absolutely has been creeping on other women. Your sister should be concerned about that because if he isn’t sending creepy messages to other women already then he will be.

    Congrats on so many years being vegan

    I agree that anyone could learn to eat a vegan diet, but i don’t think everyone could live the lifestyle. The difference is that the diet is the easy part and i don’t think everyone could ever understand having empathy for a living creature
