I used to like rap and hip hop decades ago, but now I have I guess you could say "comfort" artists I listen to instead (mostly alt rock, instrumentals, old songs with lyrics or sounds that trigger specific feelings I have). I know nothing about the rap beef that's been going on and I felt like I had to be in the loop to really appreciate the halftime show, and be an actual fan. I saw the show online and I did think Kendrick Lamar's rapping ability was impressive and I liked Samuel L Jackson as uncle Sam. But I would not watch it again. I don't look like these guys at all, I just recognize I'm not the target audience and I don't need to make a fuss about it. I also don't think it sucked or was the worst.

Been using Summit, good so far.

There are reactionaries there :/ For instance they make fun of content warnings for vegans. I knew then that wasn't the place for me.

Hell yeah ✊

I take a multivitamin with B-12 (folate) that also has riboflavin (B-2) in them. I also eat fortified cereal (has a bunch of folate in it too btw) with fortified soy milk since I've always had anemia and need all the vitamins I can get. My doctor has looked over my levels before and said it was all normal but I can look into it again. Thanks for the tip.

It's not O. I keep forgetting which one I am but I know it is not O.

Liberals include democrats and republicans and depending on the views of each independent, them too. In north america, "liberals" usually refers to followers of social liberalism as opposed to conservative liberalism. In other places, it can mean a commitment to limited government and laissez-faire economic policies. It's much more complicated than that but that is a little info.

There's so much hostile sarcasm here I'm not sure what you believe in but hopefully that helps.

Edit: I can sorta understand since they said shitlib, but not only conservatives use it, it can be used by leftists (actual left wing, not US left wing). So I took out the hostile part.

I hate mosquitoes. I'm one of the people that feel them bite nearly every time, it is painful and the bite they leave behind swells and itches. I've clawed skin off because of how irritating it feels. I'll go outside and they naturally gravitate towards me versus others. Existence is pain.

Disengage.

I've repeated myself several times already. I refuse to hold your hand anymore. Ask someone else if reducing types of harm as far as is possible and practicable equates to reducing overall harm. I get the feeling you won't ask in a vegan community because you already know what they would say to you. Drop the debatebro act and you might not get banned. No promises because I consider myself patient and I've already lost my patience with you.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose

You disagree that this is harm reduction? If it was the elimination of all harm no matter what, this would not be on there. I understand you believe you know more about this than the actual vegans, but you should ask them and listen.

Again, ask vegans. Your comments show a lack of understanding them which is why I suggested this.

Search lemmy for "vegan reducing harm." Then search the broad internet for the same thing. You'll find that this is a common ethos in veganism. I suggest going to the vegan communities (keep in mind you are not welcome in some due to you being a carnist, read the sidebar) and talk to the vegans there. Ask them about harm reduction. You might want to do the debatebro thing, but you might learn more just listening.

I think this is something we will have to agree to disagree about, then.

I don't believe tone policing actually helps convince people of social causes. You can be nice and sweet and still get spat on. That is the reality.

I agree, the lemmy.world admins caused bad blood and handled it poorly when proven wrong. I still run into people parroting the admin's side of vegan cat drama ... even when it was proven wrong. I just can't anymore lmao.

Nearly every online platform is like this, about almost every subject. Like I said, some people arguing with trolls online should not affect you becoming vegan. You might think the community has poor moderation and not want to join it, but why would it affect whether you contribute to farm animals dying or not? That's why I think it is just a convenient excuse to deflect.

Organ meats can be fantastic and plenty of cultures eat them. Beef kidney is especially good on it's own, but other organs add a lot of flavor. When we make thanksgiving stuffing we chop up all the turkey organs fine and fry them, then mix them in the stuffing. We don't tell anyone in the family (don't worry none are vegetarian or vegan) and they love it. If you eat meat you might be pleasantly surprised by organs. And uhh.. sorry for posting this on vegan group. For what it's worth I think you guys are great and morally correct.

This was removed for:

No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads

So I'll tell you my thoughts. You posted gore in detail, for this I would report your comment and want it removed. I don't want to hear about animal organs and how tasty you think they are in a vegan community. You said said organs would pleasantly surprise people (vegans). I mean what did you expect? This particular community doesn't do the whole back patting because you are cutting down (which you did not mention), other communities would ban you because you weren't vegan, so you should always read the sidebar.

There were meat-eaters who posted in a better way:

As someone who generally tries to eat less meat, but isn’t yet vegan, what are some of your staple foods you eat on a weekly or daily basis? This isn’t about nutrition, I just want more meals to add to my rotation that don’t have animal products in them.

Notice the difference? There is a time and place.

I agree but someone has to come to a vegan for the recipes. You cannot force someone to change. I can give someone a recipe but unless they asked for it, it is ignored in my experience. You can bring vegan food to a gathering and you might get some acknowledgment that it tastes good, but it does not cause anyone to reconsider their viewpoints. You assume people are more open-minded and will actually care, I am saying those people do exist but are not the norm.
