…Ya know, countries NOT founded on genocide and slavery seem to be the minority.

Its funny how that works, huh? Artists expressing their experiences and what-not. Go figure xD

If there is a renaissance in cat memes I will be so happy.

That’s a nice strawman you’ve built for yourself. What’s their name?

I’m very out of the loop. Who is cowbee? What did they do?

Men will literally masturbate 24/7 instead of going to therapy

ftfy lol

I am with you when it comes to industrialized animal farming. The companies that run that show value profit over the treatment of the animals, and that really doesn’t feel right to me. I don’t support like the idea of industrialized agriculture either, though I do see its merits. The whole system for how a lot of people get their food is kinda messed up right now.

I actually bought a chunk of land a year or so ago, and have been working on turning into a permaculture food-forest. Hopefully I’ll be able to supply my community with an alternative here in a few years, and encourage my neighbors to do the same.

I also very much agree with you that it is nearly impossible to change someone’s opinion about something on the internet. Ya never know though, sometimes it just takes being exposed to an idea enough times in a positive light for someone to dig into it themselves.

I never understood “bloodmouth”. Like, who is out here eating animals while they still have blood in them? The butchering process includes bleeding the animal out; there ain’t no blood when it gets to the table.

Also, I think its less about the name that is being used, and the fact that you’re intent is shame someone using the name. Name calling is what children do, and acting like a child doesn’t often earn respect. If the vegan movement wanted to ever get global traction, they’d have to actually respect the people they are trying to convert.

Same problem with a lot of Christians trying to convert people. A lot of Christians just do not have respect for secular people, and try to shame them into converting. Makes a bad rap for Christians and Vegans both :/

I don’t think intellectually challenged individuals deserve cruelty, nor do I believe anyone does. However, this is the first argument that popped into my head, and I want to genuinely discuss this. Again, I do NOT agree that the intellectually challenged are deserving of discrimination. This is for the purpose of discussion.

If being intellectually challenged isn’t worthy of discrimination, why feel insulted when called retarded?

Man, that is one helluva straw man you’re telling off. You give em hell though!

Seriously, you read like the cringiest self-important teenager. Maybe go touch grass, “for all our sakes” 😂

So… I shouldn’t care about your comment, and your view that no one should care, because you’re a pathetic crybaby clown?

Ya wtf is up with eevery Meme sublemmy just being politics? That shit should STAY in a politics sublemmy. I don’t go to Memes to be sad and angry, I go to Memes to ESCAPE and ENJOY myself.

I had such hope for Lemmy, but its just a cesspool of hateful extremists with a handful of people trying to genuinely enjoy themselves.

I feel like the older I get, the more attracted to men I become. Idk, must be all that microplastic lol

Either they were always in on it(because the DNC and GOP have the same investments), they were bribed with the coming oil money from this whole venture, or they were threatened.

Regardless, they should all be fired for not representing the interests of the party. The actual party, not their corpo handlers.

If my instance allowed downvoting, I would.

Congrats and respect!

Responsibility includes accounting for possible aggressive behavior :/ If you’re responsible for a chainsaw, you know to keep it oiled. You know to use it only in the correct environment, and you don’t have it anywhere near children.

So yes, you can responsibly own a pitbull. Responsibility is being responsible for a subject; its well being, its actions, and the consequences of its existence.

And yes, responsibility can overcome what 200 years of artificial selection at a rate of every 2 years has done. That is literally what responsibility is charged with.

Or, ya know, people could be responsible pet owners.

Uh, so you alright there buddy?
