That said, zero proof. Hence the conspiracy in conspiracy theory.

Conspiracies are real, and they happen all the time. A conspiracy is just a group of people colluding in secret. It has nothing to do with proof.

The problem I have with the term “conspiracy theory” isn’t the word “conspiracy”; it’s the word “theory”. These aren’t theories. They’re bullshit. “Conspiracy bullshit” sounds much better.

You could just use a network like Retroshare or something like that.

Not all mosquitoes bite humans. So, you could eradicate the biting variety, and a non-biting variety would step in to fill that ecological niche. I don’t see a downside.

Check the pH of Coca-Cold. Now check the pH of stomach acid. (Lower numbers are more acidic.)

So you’d be cool with somebody bombing the building you live in as long as they gave you 3 hours notice?

which Israel admitted to have propped up and wanted to become the prominent Palestinian group

So, basically what Hillary did with Trump? Oh, that’s rich!

The mufti of Palestine was involved in the planning of the holocaust.

Dude’s been dead almost 50 years. I have a feeling there’s a bit more going on here.

Your logical fallacy is tu quoque.

My favorite was when Bernie Sanders was called antisemitic for criticizing Israel. His response was something along the lines of “It isn’t antisemitic to criticize a right-wing government in Israel.” It must’ve taken all the patience in the world to not add “you fucking toolbags”.

The illustrations in the original book were very…um… politically incorrect.

Bravery has nothing to do with it. It tastes good, and there’s no harm to any animals. So why not eat it? Denial for the sake of denial is not a virtue.

If you keep relying on meat substitutes, you haven’t let go of meat entirely, and it would be easy to get back to meat eating.

That’s like saying that if you enjoy shooting people in video games, then you’re one step away from shooting people in real life. I’ve been eating fake meats for almost a decade now, and I’ve never been tempted to eat real meat.

I know how horrible and senseless factory farming is, and I have images of the slaughtered seared into my memory from vegan documentaries. Why would I go back to that when I can have substitutes that are just as good, if not better?

Do you think that you could’ve gotten those people converted to an Indian diet, and they would’ve remained vegan? Getting people to go vegan in the first place is extremely difficult. Try getting them to go vegan and replace their diet with Indian food.

How prevalent is veganism in India? Whenever I look at Indian food, it’s butter this and milk that. Sure, there are some very good vegan choices, but it seems to me that Indians love their dairy.

Where was it mandated?

< 5 minute web search says that the 3rd phase was done a month after it was approved for emergency use and had favorable results, so I’m not sure what your point was.

The date given is Oct. 2021 and the trucker protests began in early 2022.

Do you know what the long-term effects of COVID are? Ever heard of long COVID?

@seitanic@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

The vaccine doesn’t hang out in your body, so there’s no way that there’s going to be effects 5+ years later. Or even 5 months later. I forget the exact amount of time, but it’s out of your body in a very short time…like 24-48 hours.

Knowing the cause isn’t the same as knowing the cure. We know what causes cancer, but we still can’t cure it.

I’m not sure where you’re going with “drug pandemic”. Are you taking about opioid addiction?

A common example of trauma is domestic abuse (child abuse, partner abuse, etc.) Another is a combat veteran who has suffered the ravages of war during their tour of duty. Both of these types of trauma can cause anxiety and/or PTSD.

Which of these talk about anxiety?

I could swear somebody made a song out of this. I wish I could remember who. Probably some nerdcore artist.

“Bigotry” is an umbrella term. Racial prejudice is a type of bigotry.
