    The nice thing about not being naturally attractive is that as I get ilder and start to freak out about my physical health, I get better looking.

    So for the most part I’m happy about always looking my best because dear god I’m gonna die at 40 if I don’t start working on my health now.










  • as long as you don’t mistreat the animals

    I find it interesting that you consider killing not a mistreatment.

    You say that killing them for their resources is worth it, but worth it to who? Obviously not the victim. Most horrible things are worth it to the ones committing them.

    All I’m saying is, while we might have different moral opinions, at the very least provide logical, consistent arguments.




  • Define needlessly?

    You see, you probably define it as a subjective catch all for anything that you are used to having in your life.

    But if you really inspect that idea you can reach all kinds of extremes, like do you really need a home? You can live on the street, do you really need a car? You could walk technically, do you really need meat? You could live perfectly healthy without it technically, do you need a towel after a shower? You can just let yourself dry, what about chocolate? Just a nice snack, is that a necessity? And marshmallows? Bread? Flavoured drinks?

    So the line is individual and non linear. One might say they can live without cars but not without a home, one would say the opposite, one would claim that chocolate is more important than having towels, etc. Some can also say that the joy they get from turturing an animal is more significant for their own happiness than chocolate, or towels or eating meat, these people are 100% with the parameters of your logic, yet you lable it as unnecessary.

    You could redefine necessity as things that would cause you serious harm if taken, which is still subjective but a little clearer. Most people can agree that never eating chocolate again would suck but not cause any serious harm. Most can also probably agree that not having a home would cause you serious harm. And while you might not like to admit it, scientifically going vegan won’t just not cause you harm, it would actually be healthy for you, and just like people who go on all kinds of diets, it sucks at first, but it does not cause any serious harm.

    So ask yourself, what justification can you use to inflict serious harm on to others for the sake of simple pleasure to you?


  • Anyone who follows a bit of the politics in the Israeli government over the last few years is probably not that shocked. This bitch is one of the cruelest most dangerous people in the Israeli government.

    She has publicly stated that is more important to “flatten” (ie genocide and complete destruction) gaza so that Jews can go live there (something about a religiously important location there) than save the Israeli hostages. She isn’t even your classic genocidal racist fuck, she is the embodiment of the evils of religion.

    So to tell you that I’m shocked she raped a kid? Nah, the jewish bible actually does forbid all kinds of legitimate sex acts such as masturbation and homosexuality, but it does not say anything specifically about children, what it does say is that you are an adult past 12 for girls and past 13 for boys.

    So even without any interpretation tricks, the hebrew bible allows for an adult to have sex with a 12 yo girl, which is rape. And with some interpretation tricks some claim that sex with a child before coming of age is not really sex as they are not yet sexual beings or some BS like that.

    To clearify, I don’t support any religion, they are all bad IMO, but I do recognize that most religious people are not extremists and tend to share most of the morals of their time over the morals of their religion.


  • That humanity overall gets better and more moral over time.

    It’s really interesting if you get into the history of it, but There are plenty of historical records that actually show that the past wasn’t as horrific as we imagine it to be. Partially because people like to look at the past as terrible to make themselves feel better about the present.

    I’m not convinced that there is any real evidence that shows that over time humanity gets morally better, but I like to believe in it, because otherwise it makes me think we should all die 🤷‍♂️

    And just to clarify, I don’t mean just actions but also intent. For example, these days we have democracies that have more complex laws to protect people’s rights and therefore it’s harder to cause the same kind of harm that could have been happening under a kingdom. But at the same time, now we have stuff like factory farmings and wars that lead to millions and tens of millions of deaths and pandemics that are not stopped properly because of conspiracy theories, etc.
