What are you on about? There are plenty of great sources of protein that aren't meat, and I have friends that have been vegan for decades and are healthy, some of which are in incredibly good shape. Also, you're not even right about the "recover from a single steak" thing, because our bodies stop processing meat properly after enough time having not eaten it, and too much too soon can make you sick. Additionally, I never claimed to be vegan! Weird takes all around.

They appear to have deleted their comment, this is what it said:

And the common trend of vegans becoming really sickly only to recover after a single steak means nothing to you?

Then agian, you are eating eggs so you aren't REALLY going Vegan, there's still plenty of protein in there.

Oh trust me, I believe you. Especially using modern set theory and not the Principia Mathematica.

This isn't a rigorous mathematic proof that would prove that it holds true in every case. You aren't wrong, but this is a colloquial definition of proof, not a mathematical proof.

It's not racist to point out the systemic biases present in systems. Private schools have overwhelmingly white students from affluent families. It isn't right, but it isn't racist to point it out.

I believe they were being sarcastic.

I'm not vegan, I'm vegetarian, but I don't need any supplements to be just fine. I know plenty of vegans who are happy and healthy without supplements. It isn't that hard to find sources elsewhere in your diet. I've never understood the malnutrition argument, when we've known that you can be perfectly healthy (and statistically healthier than otherwise) when eating vegan. You can't just eat salads and expect to be okay, but doesn't that sound like such a bland diet anyways? I prefer making stir fries, burritos, stews, and other mixed dishes where I can hit all the macro and micro nutrients my body needs. I'm very healthy and haven't eaten meat or animal products outside of humanely sourced eggs (my friend has chickens) for years.

I think the other comment covered it but I believe this demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of what makes photography such an amazing artform. People study and practice, for a long time, to take photos like this. This isn't a cell phone pointed in the general direction of a subject with conveniently optimal lighting for its tiny lens, though that could produce a good picture, this takes a great deal more experience, preparation, and creativity to frame and capture the subject in a certain way with extraordinary timing to get a dynamic, emotion-filled result.

whether they are ever released or not

This is the most important line. They might not ever be able to be rehabilitated. Maybe there's something broken in them that can be fixed with therapy. Maybe there isn't, and they never can be released without significant danger of reoffending. Either way, it isn't our place to execute anyone for their crimes. If there is a crime, there will be innocent people convicted of it, and if there is a death penalty, there will be innocent people that receive it. The entire point of the post is that the definition of "pedo" continues to be expanded, until it's really just being used as an ever expanding label to apply to political out-groups.

Where you draw the line may be different from where others draw the line, but no matter where you draw the line, some innocent person is dying, and maybe someone that committed no crime but being marginalized. As the post said, conservatives have been trying to expand the definition of pedophile to include queer people for decades, and ramping up the violent rhetoric as well. The more we advocate for violence against those we consider deserving, even if their crime is heinous, the more we assist those trying to expand the definition in their attempt to wield that hatred as a weapon against their chosen targets.

In summary, if you're okay with the death penalty for pedophiles, then you're okay with innocent people that were convicted wrongfully being executed too, and maybe for political reasons if the right gets their way.

Yikes. A world without artists would be a dark, dark place. What an incredibly terrible take, unless you're implying that the only art that counts as labor is when it's for a corporation, in which case, even worse take, yikes again.

It's Lemmy, and it took maybe 5 minutes of scrolling for this to be on my front page. Your comment irked me and I want to increase engagement on the site, sue me.

They never said they're in the left lane, and in fact specifically specified against it. Sounds like you're both defensive and an aggressive driver.

Unfortunately not an option for most stores where I live.
