I come in peace to observe

^

I’m just gonna lurk and observe, see how the other half thinks.

Sure, long as you don’t troll. There is a Trump supporter role there fyi

more a won’t over can’t
stopped trolling a few years back. It gets boring

I believe it. Seen a few good ones, most are pretty piss poor

I’m moving vegan over time as they develop plant-based meats as I care primarily about the environmental impact of what I eat

Not giving meat up, just having manufactured meat instead

Small scale farming is not too bad for the environment, large scale farming with the feed being hyperfattening is what is bad for the environment. Also, by the environment, I primarily care about water use; Far more water efficient making meat

Moonlight that is the idea of it

How the hell does beer require animals?

....Such as?

Huh. Guess I’ll have to look at isinglass

I don’t disagree that if we are already killing the animal we should fully utilize it, I just believe we should find substitutes for such byproducts

I did say I was moving towards it, but thank you for the sources.

Yeah. If that is all the case then I’d just try to minimize the amount of livestock required. I definitely don’t oppose using all of an animal if it shall be slain anyways.

dude, if the estrogen in plant burgers was large enough to help people transition then why wouldn’t trans people start wolfing them down

I genuinely am discomforted when people refer to animals as tools. They are useful, absolutely, but tools is... Wrong.

See, I don’t think of it as that, I think of it as ’They lived their life, they either die painfully naturally or they die to serve a purpose’
That doesn’t make them a tool.

useful =/= tools

Humans are useful, they aren’t tools

If y’all truly think animals are tools I recommend reading Sgt. Rex.
Great book about a military working dog

(don’t really think they choose so, but otherwise fair)

oh gods
I...
I could have gone without that information

Give anyone a quick death if it is inevitable, don’t fucking drag out misery

Communism is unobtainable

Furthest economically left we’ll get is democratic socialism (no one can die because they are poor basically)

I absolutely oppose communism as anything other than an endgoal in a post-scarcity world but go off m8

@GeoChaucer why is that an issue?

Sanders is nowhere near Trotsky

lmfao
He is quite opposed to authoritarianism but go off

lmfao. Talking about that project veritas shit?

I can explain w/ 0 difficulty

primarily because of how they are treated when they come out 🙃

The abstract concludes that the transmission of coronavirus from bats to humans is the most probable scenario so chill

Supervirus ain’t a thing

What do you think about Trump completely supporting Israel then?

I agree. I don’t like how he handled a lot of foreign policy but he sure as hell didn’t nearly plunge us into war

Biden lying so much tonight was, frankly, infuriating. I had to turn it off before the half

🩸

Stab me daddy

You said apostates get the knife, no?

Are there any animes you’d spare?

How so? Not disagreeing, curious.

>assuming I’m a weeb

I mean, I am gay, but I’m not a weeb

I’d rather not show them

uh oh?

no, should I get one?

Why do you want to? Would you like to talk about it in DMs?

As a layperson regarding trade, what is the difference between NAFTA and USMCA

what is going on with the 2nd woman’s face @Pepe The Frog?

2 then

good for him

Wish I had that level of spending money

He probably is. If he really wants to find a stable partner there are plenty available in that subset of humanity

Fairly certain god isn’t willing mass murder if you go by the New Testament

Not like he didn’t have one of the ten fundamental principles be ’Don’t murder’

And that is when he has armies completely razing cities to the man

(And slaving the women + children of course)

Look man, Furries aren’t zoophiles, and I should know, I am a zoophile (Not offending)

And designing a costume to look like cartoons is wrong why?

It isn’t like they use that costume sexually outside of their partner

.....No?

If that were the case all mascots would be

I’m fairly certain you wouldn’t make the argument that Bill the goat (Navy Mascot, the costume, not the goat) is targeting children, right?

LMFAO

Yeah sure pal, I’ve done nothing wrong but go off

Anyways, Can fursuits be used for such abhorrent things as you purport? Yes. Is that their intent in the *vast majority* of cases? No.

If potential = wrongdoing then the Naval Academy mascot is just as guilty

However, if intent = wrongdoing then it would be fairy easy to see that people don’t use something meant to be part of consensual sex between adults as a lure for children

I mean, christ, child predators have existed since as far as recorded history stretches. They use what they can to abuse children. It doesn’t mean that the method they use is inherently flawed. Churches aren’t flawed but they’ve been used to abuse children. Schools aren’t (wholly) flawed, and they’ve been used to abuse children.

Pretty simple to understand that the vector isn’t at fault for the criminal’s actions.

Why? I’m not breaking any rules, am I?

This isn’t drama or weeb?

No, I’m arguing a point I see falsely made too often.

I’m being wholly fair given what is written in the bible, am I not?

I’m an apostate who reads the bible semi-frequently for advice but go off

I’m being honest, am I not?

There are catholic priests who have abused their position in the Church to abuse children

that is not opinion, it is fact

Stating facts does not transmute fact into opinion

And as I said earlier, I am no furry

That isn’t how it works m8. Me stating 2+2 = 4 doesn’t make it an opinion, no?

Likewise, if I state some other fact it is a fact, not an opinion, no?

(Corrected myself there)

Never said it was better, but I am making a point about how Furry is distinct from zoophilia

I have done no such thing.

I mean, Dead Baron did

Eh, not my cup of tea but as long as they don’t hurt anyone I’m not too miffed

They are still people of the book, or at least that was how I was raised.

Did I say it was?

I don’t think I did

Where did I say that?

No? They are still an Abrahamic faith
