fun fact: praying mantises actually don’t bite their partner’s head of most of the time.

I don’t know much about it but Jains in India actually have rules about causing minimal harm to all living things

In that moral framework ig fruits and veggies would be fine since the plant wants us to eat it

Imagine how vegans must feel about the world lol

There are groups that are doing just that, tho not all vegans are organized ofc.

I honestly was being a bit of an ass for no reason, I do apologise. I’m a vegan myself, but only converted a few months ago. I’m just now depressed when I see how negatively people comment on anything vegan online, and spread misinfo frequently. Also I should’ve said “vegan-ism defenders”

as they should

I’ve been seeing vegan defenders get upvoted in recent time on lemmy, did something change? I remember vegans getting quite negative feedback a few months ago only

It wasn’t confusing but the logic of its mechanics weren’t consistent. I think some people thought there was logic to follow, hence the confusion.

I was adding to it, not challenging it’s claims.

Even if you believe the life of a human is thousand times more important than the life of a single animal, the scale at which we exploit animals would still be immensely worse. And also this is literally just whataboutism

Can’t stop exploiting animals, it’d be bad for the economy

Pls don’t insult pigs by comparing them to cops. Pigs are very lovely creatures

Thanks but no, I don’t want to buy a completely new hardware just to change my OS

I do have it on the side with some windows plug in right now.

Thanks, right now I do have w11 and I’m fine with it. I have uninstalled one drive and other bloatware, the thing that is making me want to quit is the potential forced ai shit.

Downgrading to w10 is an escape route that seems the most valid, it feels like asking Linux communities is counter productive, because I specifically don’t want to have my OS be a hobby, but I’m asking OS hobbyists…

If Microsoft goes the way of AI slop, Apple will soon follow so I don’t see that helping me much

I was eating very little before being vegan (around 1.5k calories maybe) and it’s helped me eat more actually. Mix of whole foods and occasionally fake meats

I like how they taste the whole time, is something wrong with me?

any sources on eggs being unhealthy? I don’t eat them for ethical reasons but I thought they were full of good nutrients and minerals and such

Ye, that does sound fair. Honest question; do you bake? In what way are eggs necessary? I’ve only been vegan for about two months, and haven’t missed eggs in any way; tofu scramble takes like 5 minutes, I just mix it in a pan, it’s good. I’m on a fairly low/ average budget and I manage to hit my calorie goals, macros and even gained a bit of weight (have had struggles with that my whole life) Also where do you live? I’m lucky that milks are only slightly more expensive. I haven’t had any alternative meat, my proteins come from mostly legumes. And raw fruits and veggies are considered vegan food? I thought everyone was having those. Also why care about “vegan purity checks”, you’re doing better than like 90% of people, the most important thing is to be happy with yourself.
