Welcome to lemmy! I saw your opening post and wondered how long until we interacted.

I see and understand your perspective on veganism vis a vis religion, and I will say most of my commentary is not based on the topics of your argument.

Rather, when I say veganism as a religion, I’m referring to unyielding evangelism or knee-jerk denunciation of “carnism” which I put in quotes because I honestly think it’s a pretty ridiculous attempt at a stake in the ground for veganism. But that’s, like, just my opinion, man.

All of that said, your argument DOES make sense with respect to couching veganism as the atheism/agnosticism of the discussion if it weren’t for the merciless/alternating evangelism and then going to touch “home base” in a vegan community. I would even be OK with that situation, but the host instances of vegan subs are awful. It says something really profound to me that most people don’t want to associate with the instances veganism call home.

To that point:

@[email protected] you’re a giant piece of shit who ruined veganism for me. I will kill and eat 3 deer this year in your honor this year. And for every time you say “death to America” I swear to god I will kill another one. Let’s fuckin go, ban me again you twit.

But I’m not bitter…

I’m in the yoo-fi camp. With “fi” like wifi. Which is why “an” is so shocking as the article.

Are you pronouncing it “oofy” or e-u-f-y… Because “an eufy XXXX” is wigging me out.

I don’t do it for the money, but it helps.

My voting no?

R^2=0.03

I prefer restaurants and stores without religious flavoring.

Also yeah, I guess I do tend to prefer the overpriced options if I have to eat out: they tend to have the choices that most resemble nutrition. I guess if the purpose is calories per dollar, maybe their value is lower.

There’s another category:

People who are passionate about teaching but just aren’t that terribly bright. I had a few elementary education major friends in college and they were super fun, definitely motivated, sharp enough to teach elementary schoolers, but… bless their hearts…

You’re happy with the outcome but still gotta say you don’t approve of the outcome? Kinda weirder than just voting the better choice, but what do I know I guess.

I feel seen.

I cry when people pluralize deer as “deers”.

Wish I had more upvotes to give.

The cows are headed to the horse and orphan grinder, I guess. Sad times.

One missing point:

git stash $NAME lets you name a stash, and then you also can pop with that name to restore.

Super useful if you’re doing something with plotting or presenting data and you want to try a few easy variants to see what you like most. I don’t use it all the time but it’s good to know.

You unfortunately can’t get everyone no matter how good the education system is. Especially if you live in a state like Indiana where it’s trendy to give money to private and charter schools instead of public school.

Well, she did have a brother who stopped being technically black I guess…

Bro I can’t finish getting myself into it

To uh

…

Do an inside job.

😬

Holy shit that’s a sick burn

Lesser evil pot, meet lesser evil kettle.
