No, no, you see it's free will. Which makes total sense, because god can't possibly foresee what we're going to do, which is a problem omniscient beings definitely struggle with. Or if he can foresee what we're going to do and he is omniscient, then he's not omnibenevolent because he had exact foreknowledge of what was going to happen and let it anyway. After all, why "test" if you already know the precise outcome if not to watch people suffer for fun? If you need people to learn lessons, why can't you just magically teach them those lessons? And if you're not capable of this, how are you omnipotent?

Pick at most two of the three; you can't have all of them.

It's so fucking comical to me too that they call it "god's will" when children die of the most horrifying, excruciating diseases imagnable long before they're capable of understanding what's happening, but when a pregnant woman makes an informed decision not to die during childbirth over a shrimp living inside her taco, that's a bridge too far, and the all-mighty creator and ruler of the universe is very disappointed in you for killing one of his children when he was powerless to stop it.

Sweetie, maybe your fairytale sugar daddy's will isn't all that benevolent. 💀

This is why I have genuinely no respect at all in the world for Trump voters and supporters. If you're smart enough to understand that this is bullshit, then you're with him because he's enriching you at the cost of everyone else or because you actively want his bigoted policies to hurt innocent people just for the sake of it.

If you're not, then you're not only a complete fucking idiot, but you're willfully a complete fucking idiot. "Complete fucking idiot" doesn't even begin to describe it, though; it's too generous. There aren't words in an English dictionary to capture it. I could say "brain-damaged", but I would genuinely expect someone who just awoke from an insular ischemic stroke to be a better critical thinker. "Brainwashed", I mean I guess that's the closest thing there is, right? Straight-up cult behavior. But it even somehow feels dumber than a traditional cult.

It's like necrotic chunks of grey matter are sloughing off their brain in real time. Their stupidity is bottomless because they'll believe literally anything when they're told to, and after that it's impossible to amass enough evidence to talk them out of it because they're not just too braindead to understand the evidence; they're too braindead to understand the concept of evidence. Flat Earthers have more respect from me as critical thinkers and as human beings. I would trust a group of 500 unmedicated, severely sleep-deprived paranoid schizophrenics to decide on policy before I would 500 Trump supporters.

No, it's an edited shitpost of the neo-Nazi's comic. He did not coin the term.

Hi there. Things escalated really out of control due to a rogue mod, but the situation has since been resolved, and things should be back to normal.

Private communities don't exist; you can only create an instance and defederate from everyone else. VeganTheoryClub is an instance which defederated from Lemmy.World, for example.

I'm not sure if you saw the recent community update, but things have died down at /c/vegan. Up to you, but posts will probably be leaning more informative and less antagonistic now that the situation has been resolved.

Incidentally, vegan Spam does exist both in the official Spam brand and in another brand called unMeat. As someone who really doesn't like Spam, though, I'm unqualified to judge it.

Sorry, this whole thing was a guerilla marketing campaign for legumes all along.

Hey, though, you're the first person in this thread to actually mention by name a vegan Nutella alternative that doesn't use palm oil, so you win first prize. 🏆🥳

the V-word is just off-putting to quite a few omnivores.

The discussion was about the ingredients being too exotic, not the labeling, but regarding the labeling, I don't understand how a vegan product marketed toward vegans by indicating it's vegan is a bad decision. Nocciolata puts up the label "vegan" too (it's also palm oil-free, which is cool). Again, I'm sure Ferrero understands what their target audience is for this and have accounted for the extremely-close-minded-omni demographic.
