Your point 1 seems to forget something important: kids are often cruel, and bullying is frequently the point. So long term consequences for their classmates can be an incentive more than a deterrent.

The genie is now free to curse you and others without bothering with the wishing part - and does. Constantly.

None of your intentions that benefit you alone (playing a video game, satisfying a food craving) come to fruition anymore. Your other intentions that benefit at least one other person cause maximum harm to others as well. You basically just wished yourself an unending variation of "the monkey's paw"

Sand. You use sand.

Sand. You use sand.

My brain still defaults to 2nd edition. Armor class 70 means a sloth wielding a toothpick would have to fumble to miss me

Apple was known for the one-button mouse in 1983, 15 years before the iMac

Whereas "non-dairy" can still be cow milk derived as long as the lactose has been removed

Better to add the text to the description

Not arguing with your main point, but "absolutely no bias" is a stretch. The camera itself may not be biased, but other factors like camera placement, street design, and fines that aren't scaled to income mean they still disproportionately impact black, brown, and poor people.

High school never ends

Someone accidentally doing 35 in a 25 isn't a danger.

Unless you're a pedestrian of course. That's approximately the difference between a 25% and a 50% fatality rate

Congratulations - you just reinvented red-state USA

Every single one of those things is also true in the US. After factoring cost, Canada still wins.

My bad then.

Literally Figuratively pissing on the customer and telling them it's raining.

FTFY

It wasn't meaningless, and I went out of my way to make clear the sample size wasn't statistically significant.

The point was that the parent comment implied there was no reason to start eating meat again after making a moral choice not to. My anecdote shows that some people do anyway, therefore there must be a reason.

That in my experience they tended to be the people who relied on meat substitutes was presented as an observation of interest, not as hard evidence of universal truth.

For bacon bits, they're talking about the drid stuff in the plastic cans - "Bacos" and similar. They're usually soy based with artificial flavor - probably for longer/safer shelf life

Depends. Not all nutritional yeast is B12 fortified

I can't really answer the question of why, but the sample set of people I know who switch to vegetarianism and veganism bears out that the ones who rely in fake meats much more frequently switch back than those who focus on learning to cook foods that don't imitate meat.

On the counterargument, I did miss cheese quite a bit, and learning to culture my own vegan cheeses hasn't led to buying animal milk cheeses again, so ymmv
