    Yes, you know how people who don’t know what they’re doing routinely start super successful car companies and massively successful space exploration companies that launch more mass to space than the rest of the world combined, any chump can do that, trillion dollar car companies grow on fucking trees!

    Elon haters are fucking pathetic.

To the terminally online people, you are not the average. Just because you have a diet that gurgles gonads, or don’t have to drive a lot for your work, doesn’t mean the rest also don’t have to.

    I acknowledge the suffering of bugs, the same way I acknowledge the suffering of animals, as the necessary thing that it is. I don’t pretend one is more important then the other just because it’s cute.

    You don’t want to comment on the extremely well-sourced post above this one? Strange!

    I did, people have gotten sick being vegan, people whose job it was to be vegan(vegan youtubers), so to sit there and pretend that it’s healthy is a conversation ender.

    In terms of health, it’s healthy

    There are people, whose whole job, and primary source of income is being vegan and talking about being vegan, and many of those people complain about the health problems they have, despite of all the effort they’ve put into it. So no.

    In terms of issues with crop production

    So murder of things is fine, then? You we’ren’t complaining about the amount of meat people were eating , you were complaining that people eat meat at all.

    And again, you didn’t answer the most important part, what about the human pain and suffering your lifestyle causes?

    Nah, be honest with yourself, that’s not the reason.

    1. The simple reality is that most people aren’t self-motivated enough to maintain the level of productivity at home that they maintain in the office.
    2. Communication is more difficult.
    3. Keeping an eye on your employees is easier when they’re literally within eyesight.
    4. Training is easier when you have another person close by who can lead you through it.

    It’s likely that, in the long-term, we’ll end up with a hybrid system, where those that prove themselves responsible enough to WFH, will get to WFH, while the rest will be back in offices, which is the exact same thing we had prior to Covid.

    The companies I worked for let me WFH every day(aside from one weekly meeting) for years before Covid, but I routinely did 3x the work of other people, even as a junior developer.

    The problem isn’t with the companies, the problem is human nature, we don’t want to work, so we use every opportunity to wiggle out of it, on average, at least.

    No, we can’t, we’re omnivores, while you can survive on plant-based sources of protein, in the long term, it causes problems. Getting the right nutrients is difficult and expensive, even in the short-term, meaning that you have to be profoundly privileged to do it, so technically, you’re classist.

    And you didn’t answer my question, what about all the other suffering you support? People who suffer so that you can be comfortable, everyone from the avocado farmers and factory workers to the bugs/animals that get poisoned by various pesticides? How is their pain ok, while the cows’ pain is unacceptable? Do you understand that you can’t exist without causing some pain and discomfort, somewhere to something?? The only reason you have a problem with eating meat is because that is right in front of you.

    …that is a profoundly stupid way to look at it, you cannot exist without hurting something or someone, your mere existence causes pain to some people, and they’d much rather you stop existing, are you going to oblige them too? To define pain and suffering as unacceptable in all forms is to deny reality.
