Contrapoints and PhilosophyTube were two big ones

Care to share why you stopped watching their channels? Because without context, the only potential reason that comes to mind is that they’re both trans women…

Jim Davis sold it as authentic Garfield™ memorabilia and quickly replaced it.

Birth control seems like a slightly less pressing issue than an ongoing genocide. You’re coming off as extremely callous here.

Another issue is how much easier it is to up your nicotine content. When my little brother started vaping, he went up to the equivalent of a pack of smoke’s worth of nicotine per day within a couple of months.

Whereas I, who got addicted to nicotine the old fashioned way, took a couple years before I was smoking a pack a day, because otherwise I would have been coughing my lungs out.

I blame Nabisco.

Fat-shaming is definitely an issue across the political spectrum, unfortunately.

Vapes are as tightly controlled as cigarettes (at least here in Canada).

The issue is that cigarettes aren’t as tightly regulated as you’d think. Pretty much every town has that one spot where local teens know they won’t get carded for nicotine products.

Calling him a “cocksucker” is frankly insulting to people who perform the act of sucking cock. Musk is way too selfish to perform the generous and loving act that is fellatio.

People in this comment section being shining examples of why some fat people would feel uncomfortable at the beach.

On another note fuck Trudeau for running again, essentially guaranteeing that Canada will have a fucking Con gov’t

I definitely don’t disagree with you here, but on the other hand, I don’t imagine the Liberals pushing a candidate that wouldn’t just bring them even further right of centre…

8th generation Pixels provide a minimum guarantee of 7 years of support from launch instead of the previous 5 year minimum guarantee

As for issues, the only one I’ve heard really people complain about is the lack of Google Pay. I’ve never used it so it doesn’t make any difference for me. Apparently, some banking apps have issues on GrapheneOS too, but both my banks’ apps work fine.

Ban them for their actions, but not for Minority Report Pre-Crime.

It’s fascinating that you consider participation in the events of Jan 6 a “political view” rather than an action.

You’re completely right, I am not a nutritionist, and honestly I’d truly hope no one takes their nutrition advice from strangers on Lemmy. Next time I’ll add a disclaimer though, that’s a fair enough point.

That being said, I’ve been vegan for over 7 years, supplementing only B12 (and D during the winter) and I’m not dead yet.

I’ve known from a pretty early age that I never want kids. Don’t get me wrong, I actually love kids. At social events I’ll often be the one entertaining them, and I can’t wait for my friends to start having kids so I can be the cool & fun babysitter.

However, kids are dreadful roommates, I’d be a horrible parent, I don’t want to bring a living being into this cruel world (especially with climate change), I’m too poor for children, and, being non-binary, parenthood just seems so tied down to gender norms I don’t adhere to.

Being vegan is recent fad or trendy thing from the perspective of world history.

Abstaining from animal products has been a thing for at least a couple centuries (see al-Ma’arri)

Nutritionally, veganism is not healthy without an extensive amount of supplements.

The only supplement you must absolutely take on a vegan diet is vitamin B12. The source of vitamin B12 in omnivore diets is also supplements, albeit given to the animals raised for slaughter rather than taken directly. Supplementing omega-3 is also highly recommended for vegans. The other ones you’ll hear mentioned are vitamin D3 and iodine, with both of which many foods are fortified since most people, including those who eat an omnivorous diet, don’t get enough of these through their food. This is hardly what I’d call “an extensive amount of supplements”. I’ve been vegan for 7 years and the only supplements I take are B12, as well as vitamin D during the winter months since I live in a northern area.

Veganism is an opinion or philosophy, it does not come from any doctrinal teachings with historical writings to count as a belief system on the same level as someone who can only eat certified kosher food.

I agree, a person’s carefully thought-out ethical decisions about what they consume are different from someone doing something because an old book tells them to.

The “humour” in what you wrote is based on the idea that being gay is something to be ashamed of. I understand that this reflects Cruz’s views on homosexuality, but you’re just indirectly perpetuating those homophobic ideas.

The message stated that most Harrisburg Pride members do not use pronouns

It always kills me when these people seem to think a basic feature of language is some form of woke leftist plot conjured up by the queers.

So what? Doesn’t change a thing about what I said.

The only way I’ll ever vote Liberal is if my riding is in a tight race between the Liberal and Conservative candidates.

I’ve always voted Green or NDP, depending on who’s fielding the better candidate in my area, and will continue to do so. The Libs lost any chance at my support after immediately backpedaling on “2015 will be the last federal election under first-past-the-post” the second they got into office.
