  • 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.












  • Okay but we’re talking about layoffs in the tech sector. And idk about you but I’ve been finding out about different batches at different places all day. Tech workers are supposed to be immune to this type of pressure yet today they’re the first ones out. Am I a genius because I stayed on topic?

    I started being able to make ends meet just before COVID and despite nominal raises yoy I can’t do it anymore without getting a second job, and lots of people would be envious of what little I do have. Israel isn’t gonna stop doing the things causing the canal to be unusable. Hamas should have taken out Likud instead of going for hostages and it would have worked out better.
