2 slices toast, buttered, with marmite if I feel like it’s worth the effort

I don’t disbelieve the article, I’ve seen it on many news sites. The fact remains that the sun isn’t a source of news. It’s a tabloid, and has been caught lying countless times

Once more to be clear

The Sun is NOT a news source

Seriously. Wagner mercenaries are the only trained soldiers left in Russia after Putin sent his personal army to their deaths

The Sun is a shite rag, can we stop it being posted here before it becomes accepted?

They constantly make shit up for clicks and ragebait, as well as to push right wing agendas on economically deprived idiots

I’m loving the DJ! It does go off the rails a bit if you leave it on too long

I listen to a lot of different genres but I’m bad at sorting them so they’re all just in a massiv playlist. The DJ plays them in little batches of similar genres which flows a lot better than the random shuffle

You, hearing that someone is torturing monkeys: “ah yes that reminds me I should torture some monkeys”

???

Neither needs to happen

Food yes, animals products no

You misunderstand the ethics of veganism. Vegans aim to reduce suffering. So far, science points to most animals being likely to suffer similarly to how we as humans suffer, since we share evolutionary history and similar biological systems.

Plants do not share these systems, nor have any evolutionary pressure to be able to suffer or feel pain, since they would not be able to do anything about it anyway

It’s not a blanket “living things are sacred”

Furthermore, if you really cared at all about the poor suffering plants, you’d know that the vast vast majority of plants grown by humans are fed inefficiently to animals. So, by going vegan, you’d be hugely reducing the number of plants you are causing harm to

Finally, carnivorous animals have literally nothing to do with veganism. Please stop trying to discredit a movement you don’t even understand

You acknowledge here that animals feel pain and suffering and that you’d prefer not to cause pain and suffering to animals

If you have any sense you can see that you eating meat causes pain and suffering to animals, yet you continue to eat meat. Why do you decide to suffer this cognitive dissonance instead of just stopping causing suffering to innocents?

You’re calling someone an unbelievable dumbarse and then immediately using a logical fallacy, who’s the dumbarse here?

An appeal to nature is a pathetic defense. It’s natural to rape and murder too, but obviously we recognise that those are negative things that should be avoided. Why do you think needlessly killing an animal is any different?
