Being cringe A.F., as the kids say, is a power that grows with age. (:

I didn’t even realize where we were until I read your comment.

I cast counterspell. I’m now thinking of puppies.

That shit works IRL too. Why do you think therapy practices often have themselves positioned in front of a wall of books? Not that it’s a bad thing; it’s good for outcomes to believe your therapist is competent and well educated.

There’s nothing wrong with shearing sheep if there’s no exploitation occurring. The problem is when you add a profit motive to keep breeding animals designed with their exploitation in mind.

However, I’m going to go out on limb here, and say there probably aren’t many sheep in the care of vegans except on animal sanctuaries. The important thing is to stop buying wool and funding animal exploitation.

Lol, yeah, same. r/VCJ helped me go vegan too. My first time there was so confusing and anger inducing.

“Rectuma Dentata”, what a wonderful phrase

Rectuma Dentata ain’t no passing craze

Haha, yeah, that’s why I said it’s my diplomatic answer, as it doesn’t utterly reject a capitalist framework.

Here’s my mildly diplomatic answer that’d probably get tossed:

Piracy has become a plague on our society, but there’s a more sinister cause to it. The average labourer can hardly afford to pay the same fee to access culture that the wealthy person can, and this has caused a significant and justified uptick in piracy.

This situation can be averted by increasing minimum wages and supporting universal basic income. If everyone knew they could at least make ends meet, they’d have some left over to pay for the culture that mattered to them.

Why are you looking through 7 month old posts for stuff to get mad about? Get a life bruh.

It’s fine. I haven’t died yet, so I fail to see sufficient evidence that I eventually will.

What if Ralph exists independently of anyone acknowledging his concept? What if Ralph has always existed, and has just been waiting for a certain memer to discover him?

Pretty sure that was the original meaning; see also SMDH. The head shaking is the kid friendly version.

Edit: I was mistaken. :o

I thought it was “that feel when…” like in the memes.

Both kinda work, though.

What a strange mentality. When I pay for things I want, I’m generally happy to support the creator. If others can’t, why would I be upset if they get the product for free? It means more people can also enjoy the thing I like.

It’s such a crab bucket mentality, I couldn’t imagine living life being constantly bitter.

Yes, exactly, now you’re getting it! Glad we agree. The entire argument being made here is a purely normative one, not of necessity.

We have absolutely zero evolutionary need for milk past infancy. It’s all culture and marketing.

Just because we do those things you mentioned doesn’t mean they’re necessary. In fact, I assure you, neither clothes nor cooking are strictly necessary for an individual’s survival. They’re convenient and comfortable, but not physiologically necessary. Obviously we’d freeze in cold climates, but there are plenty of places on earth we could survive well enough without.

We do need vitamin D to survive, but you can literally just get it directly from sunlight. The more time you spend inside, and the more thoroughly you clothe yourself, the more likely you are to need to supplement it. Simple as. You only need 30m outside 3x a week (2hrs in winter regions).

Another funny thing about milk, is that all the natural vitamin A and D is removed in processing. They literally have to re-fortify it again, so the only reason it’s billed as this “healthy” thing is because it’s basically a lab-made liquid vitamin.

All other mammals not drinking milk past infancy: Am I a joke to you?

Literally all you need to do is touch grass a few times a week.

Tonight I had to wait twenty minutes for a black jeep to stop

Now I’m picturing this jeep taking 20 minutes to decelerate, all the while you’re just starring at them, wondering if they’re ever actually going to come to a complete stop.

Don’t even try. There’s no way you’re beating Konsi.
