I've found that people playing "devil's advocate" tend not to argue in good faith. They want to be contrary and appear smart, not be challenged.

Stop using paedophiles in memes.

Billionaires literally cannot exist without doing a ton of evil shit. But he's an enemy of my enemy, so I take this as a win.

Not eating eggs is cheapest.

There's a direct correlation. Where do you think the money comes from?

That is literally the funniest ASCII drawing I've seen.

So according to this article, if there was a high-protein, low-carb food with taurine, it would be nutritionally satisfactory? Taurine is already lab-made and added to most pet foods, including animal-based ones. Protein is easy to separate from carbs in plant-based foods. Pea protein, for example, has a 15:1 protein to carb ratio.

I still don't see a case for malnutrition. Every article that claims cats can't be plant based repeat the same "taurine" and "protein" concerns, but again, those are so easily debunked. What magic ingredient of meat is necessary for cats that can't be found in plants, causing them to die a slow, tortuous life of malnutrition?

The dairy industry and the meat industry are two sides of the same coin.

It just feels so petty. Not a single person reading "less cops" was confused by its meaning. I get fighting against misuse of your/you're, its/it's, etc. because they can make things harder to read. Fewer and less, though, have the exact same underlying meaning (a reduction).

I agree. The threshold for becoming the "dominant species" of a planet is so low that the species still has its primal wiring for tribalism, competitiveness, etc. by the time it can build rockets. We humans should've had more time in the evolutionary oven to become more empathetic and cooperative for longer-term survival. Instead we have people willing (and able) to literally burn the world down to become richer or more powerful. And we have most of society cheering them on.

We've been on the verge of destroying ourselves for decades now, and humans have just barely started doing space stuff (a blink compared to the life of the universe). How in the world can anyone expect us to get to Dyson sphere levels of progress with how fragile our existence is?

Let me get this straight. You want everyone's working conditions to be worse so some people wil choose to retire? Why stop there then? Dock everyone's pay, reduce vacation time, force people to work over weekends - that will REALLY drive up the people retiring!
