I’ve only ever heard disingenuous, white, anti-vegan leftists ever make the claim that veganism is anti-indigenous.

A step in a marginally better direction. Next step: ban animal agriculture.

We need to solve the problem, not just tax it. Animal exploitation, while reason enough to ban it on its own, is also a primary driver in climate change and zoonotic diseases. If you want to solve either of those existential problems, banning animal agriculture must be a part of that strategy.

Imagine being anti-exploitation/pro-liberation for everything, right up until it involves a hierarchy you benefit from 🤡

Couldn’t be me 😎

God bless 🫡 Get the occupying force the fuck outta there.

It’s analogous, and this is a comment section. Deal with it.

🤡

Friendly reminder that these pandemics are the direct result of animal exploitation and carnists have themselves to thank for making the entire world suffer to an incalculable extent, just so they can have 5 minutes of mouth pleasure.

Those “super bugs” and antibiotic-resistant bacteria you’ve heard scientists express dire concern about for many years? Yep. This is it. And it’ll only continue happening as long as we allow animals to be systemically bred into existence and exploited.

Good. You don’t get to invade another country and expect that they won’t hit back. I wish Russia a very getting the fuck out of the country they don’t belong in.

Reporting back:

I tried installing The Witcher and Psychonaut. Both worked mostly seemlessly after prompting to install Wine-GE. The main issue I’m having is with controller support, but this may just be a result of trying much older games and mixing that with trying to use Steam Input through the Heroic launcher. I suspect this can be alleviated by using the “Automatically add games to Steam” option and launching the games through Steam, rather than Heroic. Alternatively, if you’re willing to map your bindings for each game, or you are on something other than a Steamdeck and use keyboard and mouse, you should be fine.

I recommend giving a game you already own on Gog a try and seeing how it works for you.

I’ve heard that the Heroic launcher is good for this. I’ll try it out on my Steamdeck and report back.

FYI: Bitwarden has integrations for SimpleLogin, Addy.io, FastMail, etc. for their username generator, so you can easily generate aliases for every site, regardless of what alias provider you use.

All hierarchies facilitate abuse. Theism is the ultimate hierarchy. When you have large congregations of people that fall in line under a hierarchy, those at the top will abuse those beneath them.

This was just a big-brained ploy by Chomsky to sell more copies of Manufacturing Consent. Truly, the Machiavelli of our time!

The person you are talking to also believes the narratives that Russia spins about their invasion into Ukraine, so the don’t have very sound epistemology to begin with, unfortunately.

It’s genuinely horrifying how otherwise morally and politically astute intellectuals will just come out and defend certain atrocities.

You are delusional if you’re saying that vaccines are a “medical procedure” and that requiring vaccines to enter certain public institutions are “fascist tactics” 🤡

You say that as if companies haven’t been imposing greedflation/shitflation on everyone for many years.

Voting with your wallet isn’t an effective means by which to motivate a company to do anything. You’re just a drop in the bucket, so your distaste for a company will never influence their behavior. You know what does? Shareholders.

Thankfully, Proton is moving away from that harmful influence by becoming a non-profit, so that will be less of an issue for them and they can focus on delivering services that users actually want instead of shoveling in anti-features and forcing arbitrary price-hikes on their customers like most for-profit companies do.

Russia can end their invasion whenever they want to. All they have to do is get the fuck out of the country they have no right to be in 🥰

Midwestern democrats are actual democrats. If all democrats had their politics and approach, we’d be much better off.
