Like if your vegan anarchist grandma and vegan anarchist dad were the same person.

I am an engineer (closer to toot toot then clicky clacky) cosplaying as a farmer in unceded aninstanabe territory in eastern ontario.

Pronouns: she/they

Maybe the real vegan theory club were the friends we made along the way ✨

  • Why are the you are the problem comments so common on Lemmy?

  • I'm not trying to explain how I think people should behave, I'm trying to answer a question about why I think people behave a certain way.

  • There are a whole lot of assumptions in this reply lol.

    I'm not offended, but it's a good example of people not seeking to understand what they are replying to before they add their two cents.

    I understand this is what happens on the internet. It's not possible to communicate perfectly.

  • A few things come to mind:

    1. People don't seem to understand or care when a post is just to vent and the individual isn't looking for feedback. Some people have a really hard time not chiming in with their take.
    2. It's a low effort reply that only requires a surface level understanding of the situation (and that might even be generous) so it's very tempting to people who are itching to chime in on everything.
    3. Some people feel Very Smart when they make that comment because it means (in their view) that they are gifted at getting to the heart of the matter and seeing things as they truly are, without bias. There is also zero consequence to them being wrong about this.
    4. Sometimes people get defensive when they see their own behaviors reflected through someone's vent post and it's now personal.
    5. It's sometimes used as a general saying, like "You are the problem with this country nowadays", again the commenter feels real fucking smug about their pattern recognition skills.

    I'm sure sometimes OP is the problem but I'm not sure it's possible to have enough information to make that kind of judgement.

  • I was catching up on household budgeting this morning and just couldn't... understand numbers? An account wasn't reconciling and I reviewed transactions a handful of times trying to find the typo but couldn't, super frustrating.

    In positive news, we about to do a burn-in on the kiln (fire for the first time, empty).

  • I'm not Autistic (I have adhd but no autism diagnosis) but - I saw a meme the other day positing that autistic people are more resistant to ads

    Jump

  • I think we (i.e. generalization about all people) like to think we are too smart for ads or propaganda. I'm sure I'm being advertised to in ways I can't perceive, and it's working.

    I also don't think it's fair to say that any political belief is less exposed to propaganda. Further, sometimes the political propaganda is in the form of product advertising, like when it is suggested that your purchase will right some injustice in the world.

  • I think so. I'm also not all that picky - I'm happy to be able to grow outside at home using vegan fertilizers and my own compost.

    What is your personal threshold for being grossed out by owning an object that was once part of a living being, and why?
