Even if we discovered that plants feel pain to the same extent as animals, a vegan diet would still be the moral option seeing as an omnivorous diet requires more plants (via animal feed) than a vegan one.

The update from CS:GO to CS2 made the game unplayable on my aging hardware which is the only thing that got me to stop playing.
I'm in a single-player game phase now, and I have to say it's nice having gaming sessions where I don't get called every slur imaginable. That being said, Counter-Strike scratches a very specific gaming itch for me, I'll definitely come crawling back one day.
Explain how AI haters or doubters cross over with Veganism at all as a comparison?
They're both taking a moral stance regarding their consumption despite large swathes of society considering these choices to be morally neutral or even good. I've been vegan for almost a decade and dislike AI, and while I don't think being anti-AI is quite as ostracizing as being vegan, the comparison definitely seems reasonable to me. The behaviour of rabid meat eaters and fervent AI supporters are also quite similar.
It's admittedly been a while since I've played Skyrim (probably over a decade), but can't you just make a save right after the character creation? Or does it not let you save during the escape sequence at the beginning?
My highschool geography/criminology teacher. He'd routinely make us discuss current events in class, and really make us analyse the points we brought up. It really helped guide me into making my own opinions rather than just accepting things at face value.
The testing elements in Portal 2's maps are technically Turing-complete, and people have made very simple "computers" with them. Here's a video from 2012 of someone building logic gates.
Seriously! I get that we're in a severe housing crisis, many people can barely afford rent and the homeless population is ever expanding, but won't anyone think of the cars?
Anyways, if you can't afford an apartment, you can always sleep in your car! You can't drive an apartment, checkmate liberals 😎
French is my first language, Parisians were still assholes who switched to English because they didn't like the way I spoke French.
Everyone outside Paris was cool, but I totally get the stereotypes about Parisians. I don't entirely blame them, living in a city that gets that much tourism must suck, but I am still salty at the guy working in a pizza place who served our party entirely in broken English despite us only speaking French to him.
Democrats stopped using "gay" as a pejorative like 25 years ago. We all agreed not to anymore.
The amount of homophobic rhetoric I've seen used to describe Trump and Putin is really contradicting this statement.
Democrats love homophobia if they can justify it as "we're saying homophobic things but only to homophobes therefore it's okay! It's tactical homophobia, not actual homophobia!"
(To be clear, fuck both Trump and Putin, they're monsters, but saying shit like "Trump just wants to suck daddy Putin's cock" is homophobic.)
Unless I absolutely have to for logistical reasons, I refuse to talk about me being a vegan to others.
It typically results in a debate in which I have no desire to participate. I've had the same conversations with people over and over again in my 9 years being vegan. I always either have to censor my opinions, or I end up upsetting someone when I say I think this thing they're doing is morally wrong.
People rarely engage the topic with genuine curiosity, they usually just want me to assuage their cognitive dissonance and tell them "oh the way you eat animals is totally acceptable!"
