What makes you think that I'm part of the GOP? There are a lot of people on the left who disagree with the Democrats.

Yeah, whoever made this was probably 20 and thinks that's what a 33-year-old looks like.

Is "more ethical" really enough if you accept that plants can suffer

I don't accept that, but even if I did, you should still act to minimize suffering as much as possible.

Do you really believe that killing a plant is the same as killing an animal?

Russian...communists? Do you know what year it is?

If you're eating meat, then you're contributing to the death of all of those plants that had to feed the animals you're eating. Even if you grant plants sentience, veganism is still the more ethical option.

Also dairy.

Funny, that's what I call people who parrot Democrat propaganda.

"Everybody who disagrees with me is a tankie!"

No candidate can win, unless you vote for them. That's the entire point of voting.

I live in a blue state, so using that logic, I shouldn't vote at all. Voting for Trump or Biden is a waste of time, because the state will go blue regardless.

His base doesn’t think for themselves, and would vote for him if he killed their family in front of them.

If Biden killed your family in front of you, would you still vote for him?

I wish to God we had Bernie instead of Biden, but Bernie wouldn’t have won.

What convinced you of this?

so the best that can be done is vote for the least fucked up option and work to improve things.

Democrats were good at the first part, but not the second. I remember lots of Dems saying "Vote for Biden, and then we'll hold his feet to the fire!" Well, there was no "holding his feet to the fire", because that's seen as enabling Trump.

The perfect candidate/option does not exist and never will

Yes, but there are candidates who are better, such as Jill Stein and Cornel West. You can't vote for a perfect candidate, but you can vote for the best candidate.

What was the reason?

Don't care, still voting Stein.

They multiplied both sides by 10.

0.9999... times 10 is 9.9999...

X times 10 is 10x.

It's weird, it's sick, and it has no place in this world.

Only if you think a naked body = sex, which is a weird assumption to make if you think about it.

Are these liberals in the room with you now?

There is. It's called the Green Party. People just don't know about it.

I have never, ever seen a vegan telling indigenous people what they should eat. Ever. What I have seen are Euro-American carnists saying "Well, indigenous people eat meat, so it's okay for me to eat meat, too!" As if being a carnist shows solidarity with native peoples. It's gross.

Bitter foods are an acquired taste. Sweet foods are not. I remember reading somewhere that sweet foods become less attractive once you've grown up, but nothing about bitter foods becoming more attractive.

I always thought that people acquire a taste for coffee for the same reason they acquire a taste for beer: repeated exposure. Coffee is the cheapest caffeinated drink (at least in the US), and beer is the cheapest alcoholic drink. Both taste like ass the first time you drink them, but you put up with the taste because you want to get wired or drunk. After repeated exposure, some people grow to like the taste.

Because black coffee tastes even worse than Monster does. (And has a lot less caffeine.)
