SquigglyEmpire is trying to say that "the N word" typically refers to a derogatory word for black people, not for Nazi.
Video games would probably ban you for saying Nazi because it's a nasty thing to call someone or be called. It probably isn't relevant to the game and it's a topic they'd probably prefer not to have discussed.
Here in Australia, our voting system means you can't waste a vote. If whoever I vote for doesn't win, my vote gets shifted to the next on my list.
Every year I vote for the Animal Justice Party, Environment Australia, Progressive Unity etc. They never win, but my vote is still registered as having gone to them. Eventually my vote shifts along and either lands on the greens who win my electorate, or labour. But they'll still see that the Animal Justice Party DID get a lot of votes, and maybe the Greens or Labour will focus more on animal based policy.
If 49% of your American electorate votes blue, maybe your right wing winner will try to appeal to that sizeable demographic by not being so horribly right wing.
You did say "I love meat, let me assure you". That's pretty proud.
Firstly, other moral goods don't rebuff moral wrongs. Owning solar panels doesn't mean it's morally okay to kill animals for your tastebuds.
"I don't think me eating less meat will have much effect". I mean, if everyone thought like you, global warming might happen. If everyone thought like vegans, (and went vegan today) we'd literally solve the climate crisis. Animal agriculture accounts for 40-60% of total emissions.
How can you be concerned about growing meat consumption in other countries? "Gee I sure hope people don't act like me, that'd be concerning!". Rules for thee.
That's not to mention the antibiotic crisis where treatment resistant bacteria are developing in animals due to overuse in livestock. Or the development of animal flus like birdflu, corona virus, swine flu, ebola etc etc, which emerge from consuming animals.
You're doing so much good, why not do the little extra step of going vegan? It's so easy nowadays. Good for you, good for the planet, good for the animals. There's no practical downside?
No more danger than eating puffer fish. Avoid the brain and spinal tissue, you avoid the risk of a prison disease. Besides, if we're talking about dangers to our health, veganism is quantifiably healthier and correlated with longevity.
And what do you mean "non-pet" dogs? Why wouldn't you want to eat your pets? They live a much happier life before their slaughter, and it's easier to manage the texture of their meat when they're live-in stock.
Going vegan is such a money-where-your-mouth-is move. If you're left enough to know the damage meat eating causes, yet you still eat meat, how are you better than the industries you call out?
So much right wing bullshit is based on greed, yet left wing meat eaters can't make the single most significant consumer change because "bacon too yummy lol".
All these great left wing youtubers, as soon as I see they're not vegan my respect drops in half.
You should try human flesh. There are some countries that humanely kill unadoptable children, their flesh is subjectively delicious, it's an undebatable truth! And if that's not to your liking, Elwood Dog Farm humanely slaughters all numbers of dogs for your gourmet pleasures. Debunk that, vegans!
Simply put, it's sleezy. I wouldn't want to hang around someone like that. Titillating anime pictures are on the spectrum of a mechanic's skimpy calendar. They've prioritised sexual gratification over social decorum, which the choice in of itself, I feel would make women uncomfortable. What kind of guy does that?
There's clearly a limit here, I'm sure you'd agree, perhaps your line is simply further back. Hardcore pornography is probably out, no? A fleshlight? A poster celebrating 9/11? Any number of these things wouldn't interfere with my ability to work, but I certainly wouldn't want to go near that person. You come to work to work, not to get a horn on.
Gives me the ick, like some guy with a pornstar poster. If you can't even go to work without having a sexualised image constantly in your eye line, you need to work on your priorities.
I played Paper Mario for the N64 and had a blast, super good game that I couldn't put down. Nice to know there are N64 games I've never played that still hold up
Unless I'm reading it wrong, both people here are trying to look cool in front of Gen Z, and are giving up things they like in order to accomplish that.
My general understanding is that the Millenials really like Gen Z. I know I do, they seem funnier, smarter and more socially conscious than the groups I grew up with.
The issue with finding homosexual behaviour in animals is that it's never exclusive. Homosexual animals tend to be bisexual at best, and can often be chalked up to erroneous mating.
A lot of these studies are used to validate human homosexuality and harm the "it's unnatural!" argument touted by conservatives. However using a Call to Nature is fallacious, and could be used to validate all number of animal behaviour.
