  I think Firefox does that just as well, and also allows you to edit them.

  Do you actually believe incels are not finding a woman because there’s a shortage?

  I think it’s more likely than not because they have disgusting opinions about women, are too shy to talk to them, or are right wing nuts nobody wants to deal with.

  You can do all that and deny that you support it, but by your actions you do indeed support it.

  Or can you give money to a terrorist organization because you support their good humanitarian work in some region, without being considered a supporter of said terrorist organization?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Being vegan is unnatural"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Your claim is that I am stretching the definition of support, by implying that giving money to companies doing all those bad things means supporting them, yet you have to agree that all examples above commonly are referred to as support.

  That means you do in fact support (financially) the horrors described here if you buy milk and/or meat.

  q.e.d.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Being vegan is unnatural"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Would you say that you support a good cause by giving money? Like a donation for doctors without borders, or world central kitchen?

  Are you supporting your family by paying their bills? Is the government supporting low income families by giving them money?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Being vegan is unnatural"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If you buy milk or meat, you support this with your money.

  I used to moderate and answer questions on SO, but stopped because at some point you see the 500th question about how to use some javascript function.

  Of course I flagged them all as duplicate and linked them to an extensive answer about the specific function, explaining all aspects and edge cases, because I don’t think there need to be 500 similatlr answers (who’s going to maintain them?)

  But yeah, sorry that I didn’t fix YOUR code sample, and you had to actually do your homework by yourself.

  How is converting it to animal protein with a factor of at best 10:1 conservation of resources? Conservation of resources would be to produce less, and also produce less livestock.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Also if it wasn’t, it would have happened in the year 25 and 1025, and would happen in 3025, 4025 and so on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, in that case we could just mix the soy protein in other foods, I guess.

  But I’d also suspect that we wouldn’t need the quantities of soy oil, and we just use that because of the synergy with the livestock food.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  According to the Soy bean producers of North Carolina, the soymeal is a by product of the soy oil production, where a small portion is used for Tofu and Soy milk and the majority becomes animal feed: ncsoy.org/media-resources/uses-of-soybeans/

  So all of the soy protein given to animals would indeed be digestible by humans.

  Now it might be true that a lot of people don’t want to eat Tofu Tempe and Soy milk, but we could as well plant any other vegetable instead of Soy beans, and who could resist some delicious Brussel sprouts for example???

  Concerning the corn, we could just plant sweet corn instead, or any other plant really. Or what would prevent us from doing that?

  Your penis is also much smaller than a cow, or a chicken. Should we all start eating your dick? Seems like size does matter indeed.

  To be completely fair, some plants actually produce fruits with the intent of them being eaten, because that’s their way of Zoochorie/Hemerochorie

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So you’d recommend only eating animals until they are endangered and then eating other animals until they are no longer? Is that what you want to express?

  Or are you arguing that some animals are more sentient than others (e.g. mammals vs mussels), and we should switch to eating snails and mussels only, because of that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Like soy and corn, which famously can’t be digested by humans.
