While I generally agree with the sentiment you are expressing regarding some gun owners who absolutely have let themselves be brainwashed into fearing for their lives every time the doorbell rings, I do not think it is reasonable to apply that sentiment to all gun owners, particularly those who have legitimate safety concerns for themselves as she undoubtedly does.

Well now I need Samuel L. Jackson as a Klingon in literally any Star Trek show.

There are 2 answers. Answer 1: remember that Worf episode where he's moving through quantum realities? That. Answer 2: fuck you.

I never said a vegan diet wasn't also an option, but out of the hundred diabetics I talk with on a yearly basis many are on a high protein (meat) diet, a handful are vegan. It is absolutely an option but this is still completely irrelevant to the actual post.

I am very familiar with what high blood sugar can cause and never said it couldn't cause any of the issues you listed, including unconsciousness. I experienced it myself just before getting diagnosed, not a lot of fun. But again claiming meat = diabetes = any of the things you said is wildly misleading and gives people the wrong idea about diabetes. All the issues we're talking about aren't because diabetes = problems, they're because unhealthy lifestyle = problems.

If I spent 7 years playing my character as a boy, only to suddenly become female for the sake of a single episode where I get pregnant I'd be pissed too.

I've been a type 1 diabetic for 12 years and a director at a kids camp for type 1 diabetics for 5 years. There is no such thing as a "diabetic attack". There is high blood sugar (because diabetics either don't make or don't process insulin) and there is low blood sugar (because an insulin dependent diabetic took too much insulin). What you are trying to describe is a diabetic seizure which 99% of the time is an accidental overdose of insulin (low blood sugar).

Now if you're trying to talk about complications from uncontrolled diabetes from a lifetime of not taking care of it yes that is terrible, but that's the minority of diabetics and you have to go to pretty extreme lengths of not taking care of it (literally years/decades) to get to that point, so let's not act like the issue is the diabetes itself.

And even if we ignore all that what the fuck does that have to do with eating meat? Most diabetics prefer a high protein diet because it's CARBS that raise blood sugar. If you're argument is meat = fat = overweight then 2 things, overweight doesn't cause diabetes (it's a factor for type 2 only), and 2: the issue still isn't the diabetes, it's the complete lack of caring for a medical issue.

I do it every time I walk into the grocery store. AND IT WORKS.

As a diabetic your example, well intentioned as it may be, is completely wrong in pretty much every way.

I know it will get a lot of laughs now, but I unironically love the final song.

No offense but I kinda feel like you know what I meant when I said "general" discrimination laws, as in "existing discrimination laws".

From some quick googling "The California law bars discrimination on the basis on ancestry. Dalit lawyers believe that caste discrimination is covered under it. Legal scholars have also argued that caste discrimination is cognizable as race discrimination, religious discrimination and national origin discrimination."

Like I said originally, I don't see why specifying caste would be an issue. This hasn't been tested in court in CA yet but clearly we can see why the argument is being made that existing laws already cover it.
