- Comment on Why are vegan and gluten free items more expensive? 2 months ago:
Meat and dairy are subsidized so that consumers pay below market value for those products, the market is not fair and it’s not free either.
That’s why.
- Comment on Why Didn't Democrats Do More When They Controlled Both Houses of Legislature, The White House, and The Supreme Court During Obama's First Term? 5 months ago:
The current state of US politics is a direct consequence of Mitch McConnell’s campaign of obstruction and spin. When we go to civil war in November and your fellow Americans are bleeding out in the streets because we wouldn’t get on board with support for Zionist genocide, think of him.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 6 months ago:
People are haters, Lemmy is infested with them as you can see from other comments.
The core of the hatred is the hater doesn’t want to admit they’re wrong. Nothing you can do about that, but the fact is there are certain societal choices that can solve our problems and there are certain people who do and don’t make those choices. Passionate vegans who try to convince people through force of rhetoric are usually wasting their breath, but effective activism doesn’t trigger the same flight of fight neurotransmitter cocktail that argumentation does.
There’s also a TON of capital interest in bashing vegan lifestyles from animal agriculture, manufacturing and so on.
The only way you can make someone into a vegan is to get them to decide that it’s the best thing for themselves. My grocery bill is $50 to $150 a week for a 2-person household and I’m able to stay in great shape with minimal exercise because I sleep better at night.
Personally, I had a formative experience on a family ranch during steer castration that went badly. My dad says he saw the devil in the animal’s eyes, if you ask me though it was his own mug reflected back at him. Cheese has always stunk to me and meat always has this aroma of decay to it even though meat eaters tell me it’s good. A lot of people say things like “live and let live” and I think this is a good way of trying people’s words against their actions.
- Comment on What can we do when something is too vast to provide representative examples for? 7 months ago:
When it comes to arguments about science most people don’t understand how science works. Stop thinking you have to conduct a PhD defense for shitty trolls. In your other example you won the argument and fell for a shifting of goalposts.

I use my F1-F12 keys regularly and right shift modifier opens up F-13 through F-24. It’s nice.

- Comment on What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices? 10 months ago:

- Comment on While everyone is watching the world stage and some are predicting WWIII, isn't there a good chance that the USA is getting close to some kind of civil war? 10 months ago:
It’s already underway and the cold civil war between Republicans and everyone else is one of the battle fronts. Ukraine is another.

Our two scenarios aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive, but yours is much more plausible.

I would bet money (not much, relax) that they got their shit hacked and locked down by ransomware at least, if not also extracted for sale by the same black hat.
- Comment on PlayStation To Delete A Ton Of TV Shows Users Already Paid For 11 months ago:
The retractors reneged on a contract that they had already performed from. When you pay for a product and then the salesman takes it back from you months later that’s called theft. They just legalized piracy.
