1. yes 2) no

It was a seventh day Adventist situation.

That being said, I don’t like animals hurting and I generally opt for vegan/vegetarian options when available since there’s often the option, but of the many worthy fights out there, this is how much emotional currency I’m able to spend. Wish it was easier.

Unfortunately jerky also makes for a great weight loss option so I get that from time to time. I understand why die hard vegans feel the way they do and I heavily empathize and want to contribute to a more progressive tomorrow, but I’m unwilling to invest my limited energy further than where I am now.

I think a lot of people also have a hard time seeing it as a priority for themselves compared to their personal problems and other ongoings. It’s subjective, sure. But it also takes a ton of personal responsibility and self control/denial to change habits.

Bottom line, there is a lot of things out there to care about right now, and being vegan is a big change for a lot of people. That, mixed with the extreme (understandable) feelings about mistreatment of animals by vegans, often leads to a feeling of repulsion from investing personal bandwidth into changing the behavior.

That’s my opinion based on growing up with religiously vegan parents.

All human discovery will be fed to the orphan crushing machine. It’s a law of science.

No.

I think everyone is looking at audio + visual + interaction + immersion as the next step but no one’s quite figured it out yet.

I believe this with all my heart. I wish the Internet had been able to evolve as WAN first for a few decades. Maybe then we might have been ready?

Cars > public transportation. I forget things & often have to turn back, and I like the freedom to change my mind at any point, stop where I want, and go wherever I want. I also hate being forced into shared public spaces. I also hate the idea of trusting the government to make any of it in any way near efficient. Fuck public transportation.

I vote quite your job

If Japan has taught me anything, you may want to check the ingredients list on that before consuming.

Anyone that is familiar with that sentence immediately garners my respect

Call of the void is really strong in this photo for me.

I fucking don’t. Imagine WTF it would take for people to lose their shit effectively with that company?

I think I might be a Nihilist… so nothing maybe?
