99% of vegans dont say eating meat in itself is wrong and this bullshit narrative needs to stop

Edit: I wrote "in itself" to make it especially clear, but it seems people are skipping that part. The act of eating meat can not be evil, carnivorous animals do it for survival. The context is always what matters.

Hard to confuse an apple with an apple

Ask yourself: why do you want to have a good relationship with a person that doesnt seem to respect you at all? Just because of the blood in your veins, childhood trauma (probably caused by him), social pressure or is there a "valid" reason?

Ask yourself if having the relationship you are imagining is worth you putting in 10 or 100 times the amount of work he will, while still not being respected as a person.

Love how you responded to this comment twice giving exactly opposite advice

I think its like being anesthesized or a high dose of nitrous, consciousness slowly fades away, its a bit trippy, can be scary, and then youre gone. Depends on the circumstances though, some deaths are probably a lot quicker than others and you wouldnt feel a thing.

I dont understand, whats the infuriating part? How it would look without the filter? Is the image supposed to be an inspiration for filtering politics?

Edit: Ah I see, the horizontal lines represent filtered posts and there are a lot. To be fair, c/news has a looot of posts, sometimes I scroll past 10-15 in a row. Some are more relevant than others. Also, to answer your (kinda rhetoric) question, Lemmy is my main news source so I want to see the politics stuff.

Its actually Bond Jamesbond

Which joke?

Thats right, maybe more like pictures of the different communities

Thanks a lot for the thorough explanation. Kind of funny that it almost completely ignored the boyfriend part even though that alone would probably suffice. Also the reasoning is a bit whacky at parts.

Thank you for this question and for being interested in there topics. It is very important that people think about and discuss such matters.

I love your example of Avatar, it is a very good one. I think, after watching Avatar a few times, the most important lesson there is not the fact that Aang came up with a way to defeat Ozai without killing him (so basically "theres always an other way"). It is kind of implied that it was a "better" way, but noone can really know for sure. Maybe killing him would have been better in the end. The real lesson, in my opinion, is that Aang kept thinking and brainstorming and wrecking his brain day and night trying to figure out whats right and whats wrong. He didnt simply accept the opinions others imposed on him, even though almost every person he respected had the same one. He needed to come up with an answer himself. I think if we keep thinking about our decisions and try to see things from different perspectives without blindly following narratives or popular opinions, thats worth a lot.

To one of your many questions, which was basically "does the end justify the means?", youre not going to get a definite answer because noone knows and noone can know. Some people might pretend to, but they dont. It might apply in some cases but wont in others. And even if it seems reasonable in a scenario, you never know the real outcome. As an example, if you had a time machine, should you go back and kill Hitler as a Baby? Sure, you would stop him from starting WW2, but you would commit an objectively horrible crime in that moment. Also, what if 5000 years later that leads to the world ending? You never know.

All we can do is make as good a guess as we can about whether what we are doing is the right thing. If we keep thinking about our decisions and constantly update/re-evaluate our beliefs, we should be on the right path.

What the actual fuck. "keep your head in the sand"? This person is actually digging for answers to very difficult questions like how the Nazis became so obsessed and all you have to say is "just accept they were born evil. How could you even question that"? Thats fucking fascist propaganda right there. Youre the one with your head 10 feet deep in the sand.

What is happening here? Which part is OP and which (if any) is AI generated?

People chill, its obviously satire

You couldnt have known

Sometimes someone just doesnt like a specific content. No need to try and please everyone, just like people dont have to hold back on downvoting to not hurt someones feelings. Thats how it works.

I find it interesting to see which comments get general approval and which arent liked. Helps paint a picture of lemmy as a group.

I know what you mean but thats not what happened here
