Once yearssss ago I dated a girl who was one of those uber conservative types, and early on tried to set a rule that I wasn't allowed to masturbate as that was cheating in her eyes. I remember just laughing in her face and my response was a firm "no". I can tell this annoyed her, but quickly realized this wasn't an argument she was going to win and quickly dropped the matter. Anyway I guess I dodged a bullet with that one.

Friendly debates can be a healthy thing. Angry, heated, bitter arguments? Yeah, I'd argue they aren't too great for your mental health.

As someone who went through the NY public school system many years ago, I can confirm hats were/are hard banned. Like unless it was for religious reasons you really couldn't even think about putting something on your head.

Cell phones were also banned in my youth but I guess times have changed?

Yes i understand what you are getting at there, but my question is precisely how long does one have before the wheels fall off while eating a strict vegan diet? Are we talking a matter of days, weeks, months, years, or decades?

[–] Soulcreator@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (2 children)

So precisely how long are vegans able to survive without suffering ill effects? Because I mean we've all heard of people who have lived on that diet long term, so at what point do the wheels start to fall off so to speak? Is there some kind of extended latency period where you are okay before you get sick, or are vegan influencers just pretending to be healthy?

Also your how do you propose we change our agricultural practices so that our food supply isn't tainted by sick meat grown in poor conditions? There's a lot of evidence that there's not enough land mass on earth to feed everyone a diet of free range grass fed beef. Or do you propose we run full steam ahead with factory farming and damn the consequences?

While I understand and respect your viewpoint, I'm not quite sure you understand what I'm saying here... The question is designed to be a no win scenario, it's phrased in such a vague way that no matter how you answer someone else can chime in and say oh no, your not imagining the terrible scenario I'm imagining. There's literally no way of answering it in a way that someone is going to chime in and tell your wrong.

It's literally designed to be a test designed to gauge your reaction more than it is to be answered seriously.

Without more info one can't possibly respond in a legitimate manner. And any responses without additional information is more of a mirror to your own personal disposition and fears than it is a legitimate response to the question.

Totally agreed, the question is so vague it's absurd. Are we talking a panda or a grizzly? Is the man a locked-in paraplegic or an violent ex con?

Regardless how you answer there's always another possibility that makes your decision look stupid.

Am I saying capitalism is perfect? Definitely not. But I feel like people tend to blame everything that's wrong with the world with capitalism. Problems that would 100% still exist in other economic models.

Case in point, I used to hang out in /r/vegan and people there would blame meat consumption on capitalism. I hate to break it to you but there has never been an economic model in history where people treated animals ethically.

"Capitalism sucks" really has become the blanket statement for a lot of people these days whenever they see something they don't like about the world. I'm sorry but switching to communism, socialism, anarchism, etc isn't going to make people and the world suck any less.

I've never actually played a Star Trek game before but this looks fun and I'd like to play it.
