I think you are either a vegan that is still at the “I enjoy sniffing my own farts and want to rage at everyone” stage (usually <5 years and under age 30) or you are just a typical internet troll.

What you eat is a personal choice from what’s available to you. Some people can’t afford organic vegetables and can only get protein from animal sources because they subsistence farm. Some people live in industrialized societies and have the time and resources to make most of their own food from scratch and not eat anything from animals (that’s me).
Grandstanding about it on the internet or thinking one way or another is superior abstracts this to philosophy and outside of reality. Ultimately its a choice and moralizing it or talking about hypotheticals or judging others character based on your own beliefs is ridiculous. Some people think meat is murder, some people hunt species that are over populated because humans have killed all the predators, there’s always a counter point to every part of the discussion.
You have Jains in India causing public health crises feeding pigeons and causing disease to spread, and you have people eating meat contaminated with shit giving them e coli from factory farms. There’s people that hunt and respect the animals they kill to feed their families, and people that grow their own food in their backyard because they have time and property.
It’s all relative, it’s all a personal nuanced choice. Ive heard the same moralistic arguments ad nauseum, there’s no one way to live and no one way to eat in this current world.

I dont think most people on this thread do. Who here is of higher rank or social status or superior? I dont think anyone does, they just want to grandstand in the comments.
Seems the person that posted who is vegan thinks they are. Seems the people making all sorts of comments are also defending themselves or think they are superior.
It’s always been funny to watch this. Who gives a fuck what you eat and why, its a personal choice not a morally superior quasi-religious issue.

ITT being morally superior punching down on vegans complaining that they act morally superior and punch down. All done under a photo of someone elbow deep in cow.

Thanks for your perspective, I think you are spot on. After studying abroad im China 20 years ago the propaganda we have here is converging on being as overt as what I saw there. Hopefully enough Americans course correct before it gets worse.
- Comment on How to fix this crack in the shower wall? 4 weeks ago:
That looks like a shallow crack. If the shower is constructed appropriately there is a moisture barrier behind it that does the real water proofing work.
If the shower is appropriately built then the moisture barrier is probably fine and will keep doing its job. I’d buy some white caulk and seal it up, or better yet an epoxy unsanded grout from a tile shop that matches the color (comes in a tube like caulking).
If the crack gets worse over time after sealing, then it might indicate some shifting or defective installation.
Could be something as small as insufficient mortar behind the tile as it was applied. If you tap the area and hear a hollow sound that could be an indication of insufficient mortar coverage. If you dont, then it could indicate some settling or shifting in the backer substrate, at which point id try to get in behind that wall and see what’s up.
Im not an expert but I’ve rebuilt three showers DIY so just sharing what I’ve learned educating myself on how to do it right.
- Comment on Gaming Pet Peeves 3 months ago:
Too many games are “survival” games now which really means they will make you do a bunch of chores to get to the sub par shooter or adventure game the chores gate you from. No, I don’t want to chop wood and get rope or whatever for the 50th game that never innovates on any of these mechanics to get to the “good part”
Also lots of fun games seem to be ruined because they are battle royales.
