Why are you acting as if pain in the world doesn't exist?

Why are you acting as if it's wrong to try to prevent some of that pain when we can?

Can't you see this would be a ridiculous response to many things humans do to prevent pain in the world every day?

it boggles my mind why anybody would willingly go vegan as opposed to just vegetarian

Because dairy products still involve the slaughter and abuse of cows.

You don't kill cows... to get milk and cheese.

Right, you just forcefully impregnate the cow every year, rip the calves away from the parent, and slaughter the male ones.

Unless you can convince millions of other meat eaters to become vegan, you becoming a vegan isn't going to make a single difference in the current standings of things.

Because I personally have to be the one who convinces millions of people to go vegan? And yet millions of people are vegans, that's the way movements work, and they don't work without individuals.

The world is cruel, and you becoming a vegan isn't going to make much of a difference. Meat eaters still outweigh vegans by a large, large, large margin.

This is ridiculous, you could say this about any cause in the world you care about changing.

Newborns or young children raised on a vegan diet usually end up suffering from malnutrition and other aliments.

I am neither of those things.

Volkswagen_Bros posted...
The fact you have to depend on supplements in order to meet some nutritional needs means it's probably not a fulfilling or well-balanced diet.

Which is why you take supplements, which makes it a well-balanced diet.

humans weren't meant to survive on an herbivore only diet.

The book is an incredibly generic dystopian Sci fi story

I think you're absolutely right that the outside world in the book is generically dystopian, but where the book shines is in the incredible description of the VR world. The book doesn't criticize the VR world it creates, but actually celebrates it as an optimistic counterpart to the real world, which really counteracts the dystopian feel.

Part of the definition?

"Veganism is both the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products, particularly in diet, and an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of animals." Obviously this is a philosophy which rejects humans eating meat.

Vegans twist that ideology to also nazi and dictate everyone's food choices and lifestyle. 100% of them has that mindset.

My ideology of eating both meat and veggies? Sure, why not.

Compared to the first episode how much better does this show get? Me and the wife have tried watching it twice but she get's bored and falls asleep, I personally find the premise intriguing even though I am not 100% sure what it is yet.

It gets better imo, and stuff starts making sense. The show is also just pretty as fuck

Flash? Like Flash animation? That's dead. Maybe you mean 2D computer animation. And the reason it doesn't look as fluid is because it doesn't have as big of a budget and usually has less skilled people doing it. That sort of computer animation is usually done on a tablet anyway which is exactly the same thing as hand drawn.

@MJ_Max yo, what would you have done to protect your lineage? You can sit there and say "there are other ways" all day, but what would you have done differently? Just let him go and tell other people and risk being executed, or exiled at best, stripped of everything you know and love? I'm not raggin' on you, just asking you what "non-sociopaths" would do in this situation.

Bribe him, threaten him, create an alibi or a good bullshit story to deny Bran's story and downplay it as the testimony of a kid, etc.
