i can't help but think that if your first date with someone is drive thru mcdonalds, maybe that should have been the first clue

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 minutes ago

Some people are poorer than you

I dunno. McDs was mine and my spouse's first date, after church.

We are married 27 years now....

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

I'm barely older than you're marriage but McDonald's was a very different vibe when I was a kid. I still wouldn't say anything to shame people going to McDonald's for a first date today.

My first date with my girlfriend was at a Wendy's and we took the bus to get there. That was 2005. We got married in 2009 and just celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary. It doesn’t matter where you go or how much you spend, it just matters who you’re there with.

If your first date is a glorious scam heist, the future looks promising

Maybe don't order carnist options though

You son of a bitch, I'm in.

Why not let people excercise their liberty to decide for themselves. Plus how is this relevent to a date a majority of people are omnivorous anyways

Was their comment one of those ‘self-identifying without being asked’ moments? Certainly feels stereotypical to me. But, it couldn’t be that obvious.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I prefer Arch Linux over the Golden Arches. It's much better for your health.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 13 hours ago

I want to say ‘exactly’, if I’m reading your comment right. The ‘carnist’ commenter could have ripped on McDonalds, or chicken nuggets in general, which both would have been super easy and everyone would have agreed with, and not made it weird by specifically falling into the stereotype here.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 15 hours ago

It is. Some stereotypes exist for a reason, they're earned.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 15 hours ago

Yeah lol. The memes are real.

Its not the liberty of the animals to be exploited and murdered.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (2 children)

The animals have no rights and no liberty. Plus if it wasnt for us farming them then their evolutionary niche wouldnt exist so if u think about it we are doing them the favour.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

The animals have no rights and no liberty.

Why?

Evolutionary niche

On the one hand, the breeding of animals dependent on humans destroys evolutionary niches for animals independent from humans, on the other hand, humans destroy evolutionary niches directly.

Farmers won't release or breed animals to improve their evolutionary niche, because farmers and consumers don't farm animals for conservatory reasons.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

That’s not entirely true because there are expectations depending on the jurisdiction on the standard of care for animals, in several countries they’re legally seen as sentient beings not property.

Putting them in filthy crowded slaughter houses where they’re kicked and shoved only to be slaughtered as children relative to their life spans is not doing them favour. It is our responsibility to stop exploiting them.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 hours ago

the natural lifespan of livestock is exactly when they are slaughtered

[–] [email protected] 11 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Nuggies are breaded, not just meat, so this is omnivorous not carnist.

Carnism

Ideology that supports the use and consumption of animal products.


Things can have several properties, for example a thing can be red, which doesn't mean the thing is not a cube.
