  What is it with vegans and comparing literally everything to veganism? I was in another thread and it was compared to genocide, rape, and climate change all in the same thread. Insanity

    probably because the animal death industry is comparable to those things

      Death Industry sounds like it would be an awesome band name.

    It’s good to bring out the hypocrisy among you people.

  It’s not, you’re just personally insulted. The livestock industry is responsible for about 15% of human caused greenhouse gas emissions. That’s not negligible.

    So, I can’t complain about any part of the remaining 85% if I’m not vegan? That’s so fucking stupid. Do you not complain about microplastics because you’re guilty of using devices with plastic in them to type your message?

      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.

      Yes, I’m a piece of shit for using a phone made by a capitalist corporation and contributes to harming the planet. I don’t deny that I live in a horrible society that forces me to be a bad human just to survive.

      I also don’t call people stupid for telling me my device is bad for the environment. I still eat meat, I’m not a vegan, but I understand and completely agree that it’s terrible for the environment. By recognizing it, I can be conscious of my consumption and reduce it.

      I also use LLMs conservatively, I use them where they add value and I don’t use them frivolously to generate shitty AI slop.

      I’m conscious of its dangers and that drives my consumption of it.

      But I don’t pick and choose. I don’t eat animal products three meals a day and bitch about someone using an LLM to edit a file instead of manually working on it for five hours.

      Just be consistent is the message they were communicating, not that you shouldn’t complain about 85%.

        Same, I’m very aware that my selfish actions cause harm to the environment and I do try to be conservative about meat, electricity, and water usage. I don’t even own a car.

        But “I swear to God, if you aren’t vegan,” which is what OP said, is hardly the same as “keep it consistent.” It feels like they’re telling us both that our efforts are pointless because we aren’t vegan. They could have said, try cutting meat from your diet to help more, or give veganism a thought. It comes off as insufferably arrogant, you know?

        I’ll end my rant now, haha. Sorry.

      You can, but you also open yourself up to criticism of your hypocrisy.

      Right now, your cognitive dissonance is flaring up because you have to simultaneous criticize someone for contributing to a problem while contributing to it yourself.

      I’m not even vegan, but I absolutely love watching meat-eaters squirm because it reinforces my notion that the average person is a complete idiot.

        I’m very much aware of my hypocrisy, but I do my best in other ways to help.

        If people like OP are going to be dismissive of my efforts, then I guess they’re free to think that — just like I’m free to think that kind of hate keeping is stupid.

    you’re just personally insulted.

    I swear to God this attitude is why people don’t like what you’re saying. I am all for weighing the two against each other but the “I am more moral than thou” is why I left the church.
