Yum. I loved those. That deep, bitter sweet flavour of the molasses. I loved those.

I love those things. The old style dark one that were very firm. Yum.

Last I heard it was 4%.

Maybe it will make 5% next year, then.

Hehehe. Yes.

I had someone say, “Go back and play with your Legos!”

“It’s , ‘Lego bricks.’”

Hehehe

This will be the best thing that ever happened to Linux. Hell, it might even make it up to 4.5% market share.

The very best is when some fucking loser goes back through your comment history and says, “Oh ya, well…” and brings up something you wrote months ago to try to embarrass you into silence. Fuck those pathetic fucking losers.

I write several flavours of BASIC fluently, Fortran and Pascal passably, three forms of assembler well enough to get by, and I’ve worked in COBOL.

I was at Defcon a few years ago in Las Vegas while the roller derby girls were in town. Fun times.

Like my wife, every day for 17 years, “That tree is going to fall down.”

Tree falls down.

“I told you so.”

I mean…if they keep this up they will be right eventually…right?

Ducks are delicious and eat the way you describe. If I eat ducks I’m eating those things once removed and enjoying it, too.

I thought they were leaving and going to one of the tankie instances now that their banning of anyone who questions their misinformation to preserve the pure thought of their echo bunker has been exposed.

I see the vegan brigade has arrived to try to silence me with impotent Lemmy downvotes. Welcome, everyone!

Profiting off the suffering of others isn’t acceptable behavior. Establishments that do so should be boycotted where possible and practicable. I think protest is a justified response.

Abuse. Torture. Murder.

Vegan extremists throw those words around like they are universal facts of animal farming. They are in large concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) which is what the things that you might refer to as, “factory farms” are actually called. Small family farms, homesteads, and crofts treat their animals far better than CAFOs do. Animals aren’t abused or tortured on most family farms. When you use ridiculous inflammatory language like that most people stop listening to anything else you have to say.

Given two scenarios where I’m potentially wrong, the one where I’m mistaken and vegan is the one with a substantially more ethical outcome than the one where I’m mistaken and not vegan.

The issue isn’t you being vegan. Take the back of your hand off your forehead and calm down. I don’t care what you eat. If you want to eat vegan eat vegan. The problem is that the extremists start throwing around words like carnist, corpse muncher, blood mouth, cadaver, murder, etc. and no one takes them seriously anymore. I do the same thing when the extreme right uses the word, “woke” or the trans extremists use the word, “terf”. It immediately causes me to stop caring about anything else they have to say.

What exactly do you think I’m misrepresenting? Have you heard of the Antler Kitchen and Bar in Toronto and the months of threats, harassment, and abuse that was hurled at the owner and patrons in attempt to bully them into not eating meat?

Its not really the eating meat part thats the bad bit, its that you have to murder an animal to get the meat. Notice there is no problem with lab meat or plant based meat.

The word you’re looking for is, “kill”. “Murder” is the killing of one human being by another. Using the word, “murder” ro refer to the killing of an animal is a bad faith attempt to use inappropriate inflammatory language to push your agenda.

I would hope everyone would aspire to exceed the standard of “does not murder things”.

Again, it’s not murder. It’s killing, but it’s not murder. If you want to be taken seriously use the correct word.

And yes I would argue that someone’s morals that allows them to murder anything, is almost always worse than someone’s morals that does not allow murdering.

You’re really fixated on murder but it’s the wrong word. It’s killing. You will plants when you eat them. You kill bacteria when you wash. Things die. It’s part of the cycle of life. Some things die and are consumed by other things.

Most people only ever hear anything from the extremists so you get painted with the same brush. I have friends who are vegans who are amazing people. I go out of my way to accommodate them. You are getting hate because of a very small group of fanatics who believe that they are absolutely morally superior and that that absolute moral superiority justified doing and saying anything to anyone who doesn’t agree with them in an attempt to shame, harass, and intimidate them into doing what they are told.

Have your considered simply minding your own business? No one wants you to serve them anything. The simply want you to keep your false sense of moral superiority and sanctimonious comments to yourself. It’s really quite simple.

I’ve seen some of the pictures that have been posted in c/vegan. Some of them were literally brown slop. My family eats a number of vegetarian and vegan dishes along with those that contain meat. I don’t care what anyone wants to eat, even if it is brown slop.
