Add fishing to that.

Israel was never the Nazis’ victim, Jewish people were. Israel is not equal to Jewish people and this is doing a huge disservice to all the Jewish people around the world fighting against this colonial state.

Let’s abolish slaughterhouses and animal husbandry.

One of the worst sector for human exploitation and the worst for animal exploitation.

Yeah, two years ago I was kinda not sure what the issue was not actually following the thing too closely. Then I watched Shaun’s video essay on YouTube, discussed with some trans friends about the issue and started checking her twitter.

She literally only tweets about trans people all day every day and often insinuates they are rapists/pedo etc.

She’s crazy.

Actually most leather seems to be coated in plastic as well.

I actually just watched a nice video on vegan leather vs animal leather and comparing the ecological impact (as well as other factors)

That’s it, now I’m gonna go eat twice as many legumes as I usually eat just because of this post!

Yes CS2 has an offline mode.

I guess we all have our blind spots :)

There was a chapter in his book “Starry Messenger” dedicated to this subject. I unfortunately cannot reproduce the entire chapter here. However, here is a video essay on it that you can watch if you’re interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbXw13Npvlg (25min)

One of his dumbest argument imho was trying to claim that vegans were specist towards plants, even though no scientific existence of sentience in plants exist which is the moral criteria used in most anti-specist philosophy. I will add that even if plants were all found to be sentient, we’d still kill less sentient beings by eating them directly rather than feeding them to non-human animals and then killing them.

Here is another video of him talking about this very chapter for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9HrMdNEKPA (6min). I think this shows a complete misunderstanding of what veganism and anti-specism is about. To me it seems like he does not even consider the sentience of the animals and considers them as machines. He also seems to straw man the position to “vegans want to protect life”.

As long as he sticks to subjects he clearly understands. Everytime I’ve read or watched one of his take on veganism/anti-specism I was left dumbfounded and ashamed for him.

Yep that’s what I was alluding to :). Unfortunately the first DOI did not return a result. I’ll probably email the contact author. They usually are quite willing to send the PDF.

Thanks, that’s really interesting. I’ll try to find the opened paper somewhere else, but the abstract already gives a lot of interesting informations :)

Do you have a source for that? As I have close friends affected by MS I’d be really interested in reading a paper about it and sharing it with them.

From my initial searches I can’t seem to find anything else than this being a proposed theory among others.

Edit: I’ve found this article https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/study-suggests-epstein-barr-virus-may-cause-multiple-sclerosis suggesting it’s at least one of the factor but not the source of it.

As someone not playing valorant I think it’s really confusing to watch. Not quite to the level of League of Legends or DOTA2 but still.

Counter strike is more straight forward as you don’t have multiple heroes with their own powers.

On the other hand street fighter or rocket league are the easiest to watch, followed I feel like by CS.
