It does highlight one of those classic things in life where to deal with the problem is to socially misstep because there’s no socially acceptable solution.

Specifically I’m thinking of waiting in line for the bathroom. It’s not a single occupied bathroom and you just go back and wait for that person to come out, somebody else could come in and take it when you’re not there. If you really need to go that can be a big problem lol

A more extreme example is the lack of public restrooms in the US. People don’t pee in alleyways or next to cars because they want to. Everyone has to go to the bathroom at some point, and unless a business or whatever will let you in, you’re just kind of SOL. Then you can be hauled away to jail for it. “Don’t do that thing we all have to biologically do or else” basically.

No because then they would all suddenly become sovereign citizens and not recognize the authority of the notary.

But last I heard they had only just started unionizing

Who is/are “they”?

Here’s the thing: I think vegans (and vegetarians to a lesser degree) get a bad rap. I think people go out of their way to attack them for no reason other than vegans generally lead us to hold a mirror up to our consumption habits just by being around, even if they say nothing about it. The Only crime I’ll see vegans commit generally is existing, yet people endlessly mock the decision as if somehow it’s an attack on them personally even though it doesn’t impact what is on their plate in the slightest.

That being said: if you actually want to have a discussion about this, then your first comment one shouldn’t be coming in so hot and actually attacking people/finger pointing. Unless your goal is to look and feel superior and not actually convince people to change their lifestyle habits.

I don’t actually think what I asked you was completely fair. But the point is if you’re going to come at people like that then you’re basically begging for people to pick apart every consumption decision you make and then you’ve lost the thread entirely. I think you’ll have a hard time making progress when everyone perceives you as saying “my sacrifice is greater than your sacrifice“ if you got into an argument with, say, someone who is against the harvesting and use of oil and gas.

What are you using to send this comment?

What brand clothes are you wearing?

What foods are in your fridge/pantry?

All good

I’m very aware and take my privacy very seriously! Your title and some phrasing in the body of the post led me to think you were all being kept up at night about this my bad

Edit: yikes that voice to text was ROUGH

You can live your life the way you want thanks

If your efforts to protect your data/privacy are causing you daily anxiety then yes you need to unfortunately start accepting that there are limitations to what you as one person can do.

I might be worth looking for groups you can work with/volunteer with to further the cause of privacy. You clearly care about this deeply and it would be a potentially very healthy outlet for you

You know literally nothing about this person other than they are a woman, they hold 1 bad opinion you that know of, and that I qualified them as educated/intelligent. But please continue to lecture me about their cognitive faculties.

A lot of smart people hold a lot of wrong/bad ideas.

I was approximating for simplicity/emphasis lol

We don’t need to use ableist slurs to insult a piece of shit like Musk
