I feel like you can easily find counterexamples that aren't ironic, so this argument doesn't make sense.

"It’s like rain on your wedding day" - This is not irony. Weddings are planned months, sometimes years in advance. There wouldn't be an expectation that it couldn't rain on your wedding day, that's an understood possibility.

Because it's an understood possibility that it can rain on your wedding day, it's not ironic if it does happen, it's just unfortunate.

An example that would be ironic, is if you are planning a hiking trip and you specifically go on Saturday because the weather forecasted it to be sunny, but it ended up raining anyway. That's ironic because expectation does not meet reality.

This has been discussed thousands of times online so I don't feel the need to type out a very long answer.

The pure existence of modern day chickens is animal abuse. The closest known relative to the modern day chicken lays about 10-15 or so eggs a year. Modern day chickens lay eggs daily. It is extremely hard on their body, they have been selectively bred to provide output with no care for their wellbeing.

That being said, if a vegan were to rescue a chicken or something, and it produces eggs, the best you can do is usually feed them back to it. I know that sounds weird but if you feed the chicken back its own eggs, it helps recuperate lost nutrients, and they love it.

Scary if true, but I'm in the US and everything seems to be working for me. It could have been a temporary bug that was already fixed? Not sure

Nope, you can't assume the - is included in the square if there's no parenthesis around it. The answer is -9. Think of it like "0-3²" which is more obviously -9.

Especially in online meetings with no camera. Without seeing body language, I often think people are done talking so I start talking, but they were just resting between sentences. Oof.

Perhaps most mammals and birds understand empathy, but plenty of animals in classes like reptiles, insects, amphibians, don't exert almost any empathy as humans understand it.

Am I missing something, why would you get less of any of those in a city? You would definitely go on more walks in a city, and I don't see how water or sleep would change.

Correct me if I'm wrong but can't the president only pardon federal crimes? Unless if this happened on federal land I don't think he can pardon it

To be fair, the word butter is very vague. Shea butter has no milk, apple butter has no milk, etc.

Probably because "grunt" is a sound you usually make when unhappy.

I'm a vegan and I actually partially agree with your sentiment about "quick death + no pain = maybe not too unethical", and that's actually the justification I used for a while to defend why I wasn't vegan.

Just know that this view is not inherently incompatible with veganism. Go vegan because of the way the animals are treated while they're alive. Also, most animals are not killed without suffer.

Cows for meat are possibly the only animal we eat that actually sometimes get decent treatment, if they're pasture raised with no growth hormones. But non vegans act like this is significant. Only about 3% of cows get to live their entire lives on a pasture. I would commend someone if they actually held a strict rule that they only ate pasture raised beef, but I've never met anyone like that. That would mean you could never order beef from a restaurant, you could never eat beef your friends made, etc. unless you're 100% sure it was pasture raised. Because just about every other cow had to live it's entire life in a space so small it can't even turn it's head and doesn't get to see outside.

That being said, virtually every other animal product does not have that going for them. Chicken is never pasture raised (too expensive), their lives are absolutely atrocious and the vast majority of the time they are killed by being hung on an assembly line upside down.

I'm not going to go into all the details but just know that, even if you do hold the belief that it's okay for an animal to die if it is quick and painless, that you can still recognize that veganism is correct.

Please don't let your experience with vegans push you away from it. There's plenty of reasonable, kind, and understanding vegans.

Also btw, rescuing a shelter animal = vegan, buying a bred animal = not vegan.

Him hitting you out of nowhere with a passive aggressive "are you vegan?" was not the move, but you have to recognize a bigger picture here.

When animal abuse happens, and people see it, they are disgusted by it. It makes you feel awful inside, it makes you empathize with the animal.

But when animal abuse happens and you don't see it, people don't seem to care. I mean, what this fellow did to his dog is absolutely atrocious, but frankly it's mild compared to the 25 million chickens killed daily (USA alone), who are often hung upside down in assembly lines for hours, not to mention the atrocious living conditions they had beforehand. And that's just the surface.

Rather than passive-aggressively questioning your ethics like the other user here, I instead urge you to explore these feelings you have about animal cruelty, and think about what happens even when you don't see it.

Lol I figured that out shortly after typing my comment, hence deleting it

Your very slightly incorrect internet comment has ignited me with a passion to correct you. The interval in Killing in the Name is not nine half steps, but rather a minor 9th, which is 13 half steps.

Sometimes I just wanna wear an outfit that makes people laugh and smile...

I hate to get so semantical but using the word pedophile incorrectly just desensitizes the word. Pedophilia means being attracted to children, primarily meaning before or in the early stages of puberty, usually younger than 13. In fact, many pedophiles would not be attracted to someone aged 15+ because they are typically exclusively or primarily interested in prepubescent bodies.

That doesn't mean this guy isn't a total asshole, but he's not a pedophile, and I think anyone can understand an adult sexting an older teen, while still absolutely horrid, is quite different from sexting a child.

Once again, absolutely not defending this guy, I don't even know who he is... but I think it's important not to desensitize the word.

Summer. Especially at night. I feel like summer nights are always the perfect temperature, makes up for it being too hot in the day.

This doesn't legalize weed, but arguably it's a step in the right direction.
