Boggles my mind that anybody intends to vote for Trump not Harris because they think he'll be better for Palestine.

Well first, his cronies DGAF about him, he's just a stepping stone for their own gain. Second, I really doubt Bonespurs will ever face tangible consequences for his whole destructive existence. He'll continue to delay, delay, delay, have his final Big Mac Attack and dodge justice forever. On the plus side, the scrambling rats clawing each other apart to fill the giant void should keep the GOP in chaos for years.

What better way to tackle a crucial swing state as we near the finish line. He's turned into Kamala's best promoter. I'm loving this!

Many Indians I've worked with are sort of semi-vegetarian, eating meat but only on certain days. I think that's specific religious doctrine rather than a general attitude about animals - like Catholics eating fish on Friday.

The response I've heard for that one is that domesticated animals are dependent on us because we've bred their survival capabilities out of them. People originally just captured wild animals and put a fence around them. Selectively breeding only the more docile ones has turned them into something they wouldn't have been without our interference. To me that part makes sense, but the present reality is still what it is, and what you're saying is still true.

Playing devil's advocate, this could be sidestepping the issue, because the honey is only an unintended side effect from your friend's POV, not the bee's.

I think that's actually a very valid point. What level of involvement in producing the food makes it vegan or not vegan? If eating honey is unethical I would think so is eating food produced by the hard work of another person.

Zoidberg once heard Fry say blood was thicker than water and wrote down: "Blood...thicker!"

I remember fearing high school kids. I wasn't even sure how old they were, just that high school was a jungle and any kid who went to high school was dangerous.

Used to be a rule of thumb that the lower limit for dating was half your age + 7. Dunno if that's still a thing.

Doesn't seem to me like you did anything serious enough to be banned from a whole platform, but moderators and administrators are individuals and some of them can't be objective when something presses their person hot buttons. If a right-wing Christian claimed abortion was Sexual Assault, that obviously would not automatically make abortion an off-limits topic, but I can imagine a moderator thinking differently. I agree with your response that nobody was being forced into anything, but using loaded words like "woke" is a good way to get yourself labeled by someone who thinks in memes.
