My mom told me recently that I could go harvest Strawberries from a field and pay for each Kilo I harvest, but while I am harvesting I am allowed to eat as many strawberries as I want. I somehow still feel like this is not legit and there needs to be some sort of miscommunication.
Well, you are essentially paying extra in terms of the time involved, so I suppose it wouldn't be too surprising that some places might allow you to do things like eat along the way since you can only eat so much in a sitting :)
As a Linux user I forgot that time is something valuable. But now I believe more what I got told.
Haha, for me at least I think I ended up wasting way more time fighting Windows when I was trying to do development on it. Though I have come to the conclusion that no operating system is safe from bizarre, utterly inexplicable behavior
Thats why ended up using Arch after so many distrohops over 3 years. (I can't predict what is wrong on a Ubuntu or Fedora, just too hardcoded without proper documentation or wiki)
I never did dev on Windows except Python as a teen which should work good enough on Windows. But after using Linux for too long, the work experience I did was pain because of no relaxing features and everything crashed constantly.
Maximum VALUE
Yeah, there aren't violent psychopaths trying to destroy farm fields. The shortsightedness of self-righteous people is always hilarious to me. They didn't think for even a nanosecond past what they thought was a massive gotcha.
Filming videos = violent psychopaths? Most of the ag-gag laws (or attempts of them) outlaw just filming anything. I think I might be more concerned with what's on the videos than the person filming the videos there
Violent psychopaths like the people who bash piglets against floors to kill them?
considering that that is the least painful way to do it? Yes. If meat-eaters were violent psychopaths the way you describe them, they wouldn't bother with doing the least painful thing.
There's no need to kill pigs at all, so I couldn't care less about what the "least painful" way is.
Of course there is, how else would be get meat?
We don't need to eat meat.
we do
OK, so how do millions and millions of vegans manage to survive without meat? Answer me that 😉
With a variety of unhealthy sideffects? Even people whose whole job it is to be vegan(vegan youtubers), reported having medical problems. Mothers that had trouble producing milk and babies not getting enough nutrients and so on and so forth.
If it was impossible for people to survive on a vegan diet, don't you think vegans would start to die off en masse or something? Cherry picked muh vegan Youtubers are not an argument.
Wait, so I provide evidence of people stopping being vegan because it causes them medical problems, and you think that that isn't evidence that being vegan causes you medical problems?
It's not evidence of anything. You yourself said it was anecdotal.
"I've got plenty of hearsay and conjecture, those are kinds of evidence"
Feel as you want, it's enough evidence for me. People paid to be vegan couldn't do it, even though they wanted to.
Researched scientific article: dismissed
A handful of vegan Youtubers: ironclad evidence
Gotta love carnist logic 👍
People with a financial incentive and willingness to be vegan, with all the resources, couldn't do it. They certainly had all the info this study did. To dismiss them because one study says otherwise is foolish, and the study is locked behind a paywall, I can't read it to determine how long it lasted, how many participants it had. I'm basically just going off the abstract.
How many "participants" do you have? What's your sample size here? Certainly not statistically significant enough to draw this kind of absolute conclusion ("You cannot survive on a vegan diet").
Enough to see a clear pattern of people going "I'm going to be a vegan youtuber", then for 3-5 years they say they're fine, then the medical problems starts, they go to a variety of doctors, take all the supplements as they should, and nothing gets better, than they start eating meat, and the problems stop. And someone makes a compilation of them going through that process. YouTube has been a serious thing for since 2012, these people documented their lives for 3-8 years, better than any study could afford to. Again, to dismiss that is foolishness.
Again, a handful of vegan Youtubers is not a statistically significant sample that proves every vegan is going to develop health problems like you claimed.
The study doesn't say the number of participants in the abstract, so, technically, you don't know what a statistically significant sample is. and this is a couple dozen youtubers.
Anyway. I don't think I can convince you, nor can you convince me, so, how about we talk about something else, tangentially related? Have you heard of precision fermentation?
