So Isaac Newton had only 1/700th the bite force of a normal human? Pathetic.

You know, the red trail on the floor is really giving me a lot of positive vibes. This gives me an idea for decorating a children's hospital...

It's not my fault I'm burdened with being 100% objectively correct at all times. 😔

Wasps aren't evil. They are important pollinators and they are literally just hanging out. I am sick and tired of the wasp hate.

Speed cameras aren't enough. Schools need all the traffic calming they can get.

YTA. Not using heroine is basically a cult and it's sick that you're raising your daughter that way. I hope CPS takes her away from you and gives her all the heroine she wants. You disgust me. I'm vegan btw.

Thank you for doing the ethical thing and using the fur instead of buying a vegan coat, which can only ever be made of plastic.

I stopped being scared of wasps after learning how to read their body language. Quiet buzzing and relaxed wings = calm, whereas loud buzzing and raised wings = mad. Plus, as long as you're not allergic, a sting is just temporary pain, which definitely isn't worth taking their life. Wasps are literally just animals, and we should be kind to them.

All animals say "mu" in Toki Pona btw.

It's nuanced because it could reduce suffering overall, but it could also disrupt ecosystems in ways we can't predict and cause even more suffering. I think the latter is more likely. People have a tendency to paint animals they don't like as insignificant to the ecosystem, but they're nearly always incorrect. Wasps, for instance, are important pollinators, even if they do sting, and mosquitoes are an important food source, even if they are deadly. Anyone who advocates for eradicating species like these is doing so through a biased lens. We are nowhere near the point, technologically or scientifically, that we'd be safe playing god with the natural world like this -- especially not with the massive damage we've already caused to the environment. Someday? Maybe. But not right now.

I do also find it horrific to forcibly alter a mosquito's body so she can't express her natural behaviors. After all -- mosquitoes may cause harm, but they lack the capacity for moral reasoning, and thus cannot be evil. Thus, they don't "deserve" any kind of torment. But my personal discomfort with this isn't a moral argument.

So, uh, that's my take on it as a vegan.

Vegan beef jerky...

YES

Sweaty, you don't have to justify anything. 😊 The idea that actions need justification is toxic! It's probably because of your zodiac sign or something. <3

Vegan Taco Bell.

I don't drink 47 year old dairy milk because I'm vegan and for no other reason. (im vegan btw)
