    That has forever been the fallacy.

    The poor won’t die in the apocalypse leaving only the rich behind. The poor will die, and the rich will be faced with the harsh reality that they needed an army of poor working under them to sustain themselves, leading them to all die within the generation.


  • You can’t compare how anyone feels at all. Feelings are subjective, relative, and are only able to be compared by actions (including words). Even then they are famously difficult to communicate and compare. All I’m saying is that if you’re going down that road you quickly hit the “technically we can’t compare anything” wall.

    So you’re either stuck floating in apathy, being able to react to anything with “meh, we can’t really know anything.” Or you have to infer feelings based on actions and words.

    Hell, I’m not even going to the mat for Luigi in particular, I just thought your response was silly. Actions alone can’t compare how people feel, but unfortunately for us actions alone are all we have to compare.














  • It’s so sad, because veganism is a good force in our culture. Look at all of the vegan meat alternatives and more and more restaurants that have to have at least vegetarian options in certain areas. That wasn’t a thing 20 years ago.

    Vegan diets help the environment and improve health. But many vegans get this brain rot, probably a consequence of a superiority complex where they have to police everything around them. It happens in a lot of communities.

    I’m not a vegan. But the idea has me eating less and less meat every year.
