  • Had an old workplace where everyone knew that the servers needed blood to function. You would reach into the cabinet, make your fix with absolutely no trouble and take your hands out to find a huge gash in your hand that you should have felt when you received it. No pain, just bleeding.

    At a location, their servers wouldn’t work unless there was candy on top of the server rack and at least one stuffed animal in the room. I was jealous of their technomancy.





  • Same. My sister helped my partner and I make some edibles with a bunch of trim we had saved. She had been smoking heavier than me for twice as long, and got absolutely smuckered by these edibles. We, however, were slamming dabs alongside the edibles because they weren’t doing shit




  • Literally the only animal products I consume are ones that are cheaper to buy than alternatives: dairy cheese and eggs.

    I spend extra on alternative milks. Alternative eggs are more expensive or significantly more effort (yes tofu scramble is doable. No I don’t have the time). I could live without cheese, or on alternative cheeses. But, cheese actually makes up a pretty large sum of calorie intake because it is cheap and can be made to be relatively healthy in most dishes.

    It all boils down to money. I already spend extra money on alternative meats, and milks and raw fruits and vegetables. I still have to have money for my other responsibilities, so I make some dietary sacrifices. But I’m sure that poverty isn’t a good enough reason to sacrifice my purity to most vegans.



  • You don’t realize it, but this is actually a non sequitur. You’re right, I am a carnist! I don’t see a moral issue with a human (animal) eating an animal or animal based product. In fact, lots of animals eat animals!

    You’re wrong, however, to say that I view animals as products. I do take issue with the industries relating to animal consumption. I take issue with the damage they do to the planet, I take issue with the way they treat the animals, and I take issue with the hygiene and working conditions for those involved. Ideally, I’d live in a world where it was possible to morally eat whatever you fancy. Unfortunately, I live in a world where you have to eat what you can afford.
