I am glad this went in this direction. I kinda like a lot of the new slang, and am also chill with being an old loser using them incorrectly, it’s part of the evolution of language and I’m glad to play my part.

Taking care of our less fortunate is one of the best uses of taxes there is, would you rather them go toward bailing out more corporations or more tax cuts for the rich?

Of course they won’t accept making less money, the answer isn’t apathy, though.

No.

Look, I enjoy uncertainty, too. I’m a silly little teacup orbiting Jupiter agnostic joker. But there are times when you can predict with a fair degree of certainty what’s going to happen. If you were being completely honest with yourself you would admit that enough people going vegan would probably have a noticeable effect on the animal agriculture industry. And yes, admittedly neither of us know if that’s true or not. But either way I’m not going to give that industry my money because I’m pretty sure they’re just going to use it to keep killing animals.

I’m not judging what you do, but be honest with yourself, the money you give them is probably going to go toward killing more animals. Maybe they’ll change their mind and all decide to stop tomorrow, but until then I will keep trying to disincentivise them the way I’m most certain will work.

And if you do actually care about the treatment of animals please reconsider whether or not you have an impact.

yeah, isn’t everyone’s?

The edit one is what I was looking for and fair play. You got me with that one.

I just quantified it, why would you say I didn’t? Everytime I wanted a hamburder I supplied one to myself. There were no degrees of wanting at all, I either did or didn’t.

And this isn’t storytelling, this is literally what happened. You’re the one trying to muddy the waters.

lie, hyperbole, it doesn’t affect my argument regardless. I’m sure they’re still being made but I doubt you’ll see too many in stores near you.

Yeah, I stopped, and it has had an impact.

If you want me to try and measure an individuals impact on a global supply chain then it’s not going to be very much, but it is never the less there.

demand was when I wanted a hamburder. me wanting a hamburder is 1 demand.

1 demand = 1 supply.

I don’t see why you would compare that to global supply. I am not equal to the global population. That was a very illogical leap you took.

Do you really need this one spelt out? Sales declined and then production followed. The goal of the business was to make money so when their product stopped making money they stopped producing it.

What would you do in the same situation? The logic seems incredibly cut and dry and you keep insisting I need to give you proof, but I’d like to see evidence of the opposite happening to be honest.

ok, I used to eat animal products, but then I decided it wasn’t nice and so I stopped supplying them to myself.

It’s a clear example of how supply diminished when demand did. Nitpicking irrelevant stuff is pedantry.

o yeah, I forgot, the animal ag industry would still inexplicably exist even if no one bought its products. I guess you can just continue consuming them guilt free since it was gonna happen anyway.

ok, here is my formula:

d = s

It’s pretty reliable.

I don’t speak latin, sorry

pedaaaaannnnttttt

That’s kind of the point I was making? Sorry for whooshing you.

I mean it’s been tested. When there was no money in VHS they stopped making them. How is this not making sense to you?
