Funny how you talk about them like they’re bigots when you’re the one preaching so hard against them lol
Don’t bother answering, you’re blocked
- Comment on I love children's sense of humour 5 weeks ago:
Theres just one thing quite obvious in this thread:
You love to state your opinion, even though you spread nonsense by that. And you also like to talk shit about other people when someone presents you facts that you don’t like
Viva la free speech I guess
- Comment on I love children's sense of humour 5 weeks ago:
No, it’s obviously not. I recommend informing yourself.
- Comment on I love children's sense of humour 5 weeks ago:
“impose their beliefs”
It seems like you confuse it with religion. It’s not about beliefs, it’s about whether or not we find certain actions in our society to be morally wrong.
Nice example of how not to communicate. But what has this to do with what we’re talking about?

I see, I see
If I think about the first time playing mgs, it just blew my mind what you can do there. Even the simple things, like when the soldiers saw your footsteps in the snow. What they did with that game back then was extraordinary in many ways.

There’s always a person who can’t just take the joke
Vegans bad, we get it. How dare they to live according to their moral beliefs
- Comment on I love children's sense of humour 5 weeks ago:
Anybody would do that?
- Comment on I love children's sense of humour 5 weeks ago:
I think you don’t understand the definition then. When herbivores happen to eat some animals, like when cows eat baby chickens, it doesn’t make them carnivores just for doing so. They’re still herbivores

Well, and then there is an interview in regard to animal rights, where it seems that he has no clue what he is taking about.
I like him as long as he speaks about astro physics. But sometimes, when he goes into a field that he doesn’t know very well…
And why a tattoo? Is this for real?

For sure!
I used the sound effects of metal gear for years on my phone :D (youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLzY7EDSZRz-dy23XaO11b…)
I should tell my family that they must play the metal gear solid game over sound at my funeral lol
Do you also have many special memories with those games?

What an awesome game. Metal gear 1 and 2 will always have a special place in my heart

And many different human ethical systems exist. If you believe that eating animals is always unethical, that is your ethic. If that means you believe I am unethical, then that viewpoint is valid within your system of ethics.
Sorry, but that is just a very poor try of avoiding the argument. What you say here is basically true, because if I move to other countries, I can do bad things that are under their umbrella of “local ethics”. Like moving somewhere east where women are still seen as property and where I can abuse them.
Does that mean that we cannot challange “local ethics”? No. You can challange any ethical standpoint. And you should.
But you avoid the core argument by stating empty phrases like the one above :/
the only way to change a person’s ethics is to appeal to them by showing the commonalities between belief systems, then showing them the benefits of certain variations that you believe.
In this case I can simply use logic. Logic shows that there is no justification for the suffering and deaths of all these innocent animals as long as there is no necessity for that. Don’t believe me? Try to justificate it right now :)
Neither you nor I like animal suffering. The difference is, I’ve seen plenty of animals lead relaxed, happy lives, that end painlessly before the animal is turned into meat. I understand that the notion repulses you.
I grew up with many animals that all had to die. I saw how they died, with pain and without pain. But the difference is that, even though I was tought that this “is OK”, I challanged this belief system, which is quite easy. And the main difference between me and other people is that I accept if I’m wrong, I do admit that and, after this first step, I change things.
I saw that it’s wrong to just consume and not give a fuck about the environment. That’s why I’m changing a lot even though it’s highly uncomfortable at times.
I saw that it’s wrong to judge people. So I stopped that
I saw that it’s wrong to pay for animals to suffer and die, when there is no necessity to do so. That’s why I started a vegan lifestyle
You kind of explained your viewpoint, but you didn’t say anything constructive in regard to the arguments. So it’s nice that you try to explain your viewpoint, that’s something I really appriciate, but you should atleast try to state some arguments to the arguments that have been told. Right?

Al’right, thank you. I have it on my wishlist, it’s just that I don’t trust games anymore, which is why I wait for better deals. But the positive reviews speak for themselves in this case

Counter Strike Source was like chess if you ask me. In CS GO they added this gambling system, which made the game less attractive for me

Would you recommend it to the current price (24,50€) or would you recommend to wait for better deal?

Exactly. I don’t think it’s hard to see what OP meant here.
And I think it’s still the case that they prefer certain types of people to push in the music industry
- Comment on Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games 1 month ago:
I see why you have a positive view on Valve / Steam. However, while this can be the case for many people, it still doesn’t adress what is typically criticised.
One is that they take 30% of the money, which can be described as incredibly high, compared to other paltforms like Epic Games (12%). Is it justified just because they have the same service as any big company has? I don’t know.
I think there is much room for discussion about this, however, I won’t discuss it any further here, because brainless people just downvote my comment.
- Comment on Do animals feel love and emotion? 1 month ago:
Downvoting this guy for stating this simple fact won’t change the fact.
It’s like throwing a middle finge at a person in a discussion where the other person tells you a simple truth that you just don’t like. So why do it here? It’s infantil. Just go into a nice discussion
- Comment on Do animals feel love and emotion? 1 month ago:
An omnivore is predisposed to eat anything. Absent synthetic food processing? Yes, an omnivore must eat both meat and plants.
No. That is just plain wrong. By the same logic, you are predisposed to rape when you have a penis. Saying that an omnivore must eat both (meat and plants) is unscientific. I gave you the hint that there is something like scientific consensus about this topic, but you still refuse to open your mind about this topic and look for some facts. That’s sad
But at the same time, most of the world doesn’t have the privilege to decide whether or not to eat only specific things
Why do you talk about the world now? Did I say everybody has to eat plant based? No. I just pointed out how it’s unethical to pay for innocent beings to suffer and die when the only reason you have is “I like meat, it tastes good” (while there are definitly thousand plant based dishes with the same taste experience available, easily)
It’s simply nature.
Appeal to nature fallacy
I don’t criticize your reasons for not eating meat.
You don’t criticize that I refuse to pay for innocent animals to suffer and die without any necessity? Why would you? Or do you state this, just so you can say “so don’t criticize my way”, because that would make no sense
But if you think your arguments are novel to me, you’re wrong. And if you think I eat meat only for flavor, you’re also wrong.
I don’t care about if they’re novel to you. You fail to explain how it’s justifyable to pay for animals to suffer and die. You want to claim there is a necessity? You fail to give one
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not about you. I don’t care about you and your choices. However, you responded here saying “There’s nothing wrong with being omnivorous as long as you’re ethical about it.” which is simply absurd, so now we kind of have to go down this road.
We need to reduce the amount of animal protein we take in - not because of ethics, but because it’s unhealthy to overindulge. So you can’t justify the suffering and death of these innocent animals, therefore you just pretend that there is no ethical conflict?
Reality is complicated. I don’t deal in absolutes.
Reality in regard to this isn’t complicated. Go and watch dominion, then come back and tell me the reason why those animals deserve that, even though there is no actual necessity for that
No, it’s really simple. There were no absolutes in this discussion.
- Comment on Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games 1 month ago:
Yes, maybe it just takes 5 seconds. But it’s not my turn to Google things people claim here, especially because I nicely asked for sources ( to inform myself about it ).
Anyway, I’ll not respond here anymore
- Comment on Do animals feel love and emotion? 1 month ago:
What? You don’t eat cats, okay. But what’s the point?
There is nothing wrong with being an omnivore lol. Sure, it’s just what you are. Does being an omnivore mean you HAVE TO eat meat or do you think that the scientific consensus might be that we don’t have to?
And if we don’t have to, what’s the main reason why you still eat it? Taste? Personal pleasure? Do you think that this is a good justification for harming other individuals?
You can’t be ethical about “killing individuals that don’t want to die for trivial reasons like taste pleasure” which might sound a bit overexaggerated at first, however if you look it up and find out that you don’t have to eat any meat, you’ll see that it’s exactly that. It’s not ethical.
Test if by changing the situation while you keep the logic. Tell me where personal sensory pleasure is a legit justification to bring harm or death upon individuals
- Comment on Do animals feel love and emotion? 1 month ago:
Well, why not start with gradual changes?
If you feel bad, you already made the first step: listening to yourself because you already realised how wrong it is.
If you need motivation, watch dominion. I think it’s fair to say that people should have footage like that in the back of their mind when they want to enjoy animal products.
You might not believe me, but changing things like your diet to be free of any animal cruelty feels fucking great, and it just takes a certain amount of time to learn new recipes and then it’s just easy going.
I can help you with whatever you struggle with if you ever need some help

My fault, I watched a review where it was said that you can only play steam games, but I see that this isn’t true. You can indeed play all your PC games or whatever
- Comment on Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games 1 month ago:
I saw a review where it was said that you can only play steam games, but I just looked it up and apparently you can play all the other games as well by simply adding them or launching other launchers…
Steam invest’s into the gaming community? Do you have any source for that so that I can read about that?
- Comment on Do animals feel love and emotion? 1 month ago:
Not only dogs and cats are individuals who have their own way of showing how they feel and how much they love you.
Most people would probably switch to a vegan lifestyle if they realised how much we underestimate animals (and overestimate ourselves)
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 1 month ago:
What? Where have you been that you have this kind of opinion? It’s basically the same as reddit: You do have your bubbles, you do have open minded communities, you also have closed minded communities. Your experience is therefore dependend on where you go.
For example: Joining a vegan server to say “meat is great” will lead to a shitshow. But that’s not supprising and it’s not because Lemmy per se harbors militant people.
