A song I wrote: https://snoopsqueak.com/videos/31

Yeah. We went to the moon with, like, 1 MHz CPU and 2 KB RAM.

I’m angry because you choose needless death and suffering, dipshit.

I tried three online therapists from three different services, all with poor results. Recently I went to the local community health center and had a session and a half with one therapist before requesting to be rescheduled with another.

I think part of the problem is that higher education in the US is fucked. Like everything else, it’s a scam, and it also serves other scams. For-profit healthcare is for profit, not for healthcare. So the therapists follow a flawed script and seemingly have nothing to offer but superficial coping mechanisms and prescriptions that treat some symptoms while causing other side effects and not actually fixing any underlying issues.

it’s natural that someone would think that you’re basing all your information on emotional triggers

Not if they know how to read. Evidence guides my choices, and then I get emotional because dumbfucks reject evidence so they can continue causing harm without guilt.

You should be angry, too.

Society has been conditioned to treat symptoms instead of root causes. You complain about real problems, and everyone acts like you are the problem.

Then, unless you luck out and find a genuinely good therapist, the therapist just helps you cope. The therapist does not fix anything, does not heal. Instead, they give you drugs and techniques for pretending problems aren’t problems, all while the problems get worse and worse.

That has been my experience so far. I’m trying a fifth therapist in a week, but I’m not optimistic. I’m in the United States, everything is a scam.

empirical data was also used to determine that Africans and women didn’t have consciousness and were just mindless beasts.

No, it wasn’t. Empirical data was fabricated. There was never evidence to support those claims, which is why we no longer believe them.

instead of basing decisions on your diet entirely from an emotional reaction

I’m not, I’m basing decisions on evidence. Fuck you for projecting your idiocy onto me.

perhaps it’s best to determine your diet based on hard facts of nutritional value and environmental impact.

Which includes eating meat instead of plants. But I personally do it because we know animals feel fear and pain, and we do not know that about plants.

Why are you fighting in favor of needless slaughter? Fucking psychopaths here.

I just wanted to play damn game. On my damn computer. But no, I got a bug to deal with and first spotted comment is from some unhinged dev.

We don’t see enough in the screenshot to feel your outrage. If you mentioned wanting to play a game, it seems reasonable for them to ask for clarification whether your computer is completely unusable or has some functionality.

I don’t think they were trying to correct you, I think they were trying to help you troubleshoot by getting more details about the issue. I could be wrong.

How do you think I feel and how willing I to provide any help with debugging?

I understand the disappointment and frustration. Unfortunately, no one can diagnose your problems from a distance without your cooperation.

I hope you are able to resolve the problem and enjoy your game. I’ve lost my shit for less, and it can be easy to lash out, even at people who are genuinely trying to help us.

they’re allowing that it still could be proven

Plants have no brains with which to think. We don’t accept claims without sufficient evidence. Please stop distorting reality. That is a deadly habit.

This doesn’t prove your claim, which you have failed to substantiate at all.

As I said, it’s the same cancerous, selfish inability to acknowledge what is most likely true that theists exhibit.

Do you believe a purple unicorn lives on the moon? I don’t. We have never observed a unicorn of any color, on earth or on the moon. Similarly, we have never observed plant consciousness, despite many attempts. Does that prove there is not a purple unicorn on the moon? No. But if you tell me there is without evidence, without knowing yourself, you’re lying to me. Lies cost lives.

Holy shit, did you skip basic biology?

Kingdom phylum class species, do these words mean anything to you?

Jellyfish and starfish are animals, not plants. Not all things without brains are plants, but there are no plants with brains that we know of.

Jellyfish seemingly cannot feel pain and only have enough neurons to crudely sense their environment; I advocate against consuming any animals, but in terms of animal suffering it is probably less harmful to eat a jellyfish than a cow, chicken, pig, or even fish, which can feel pain.

My ethics include using scientifically acquired information to make the best choices we can. The fuck are you doing?

You’re ignoring evidence as well as my other point: cutting meat from your diet results in fewer plants consumed.

No ethical stance starts with measuring anything in value as ‘less than’ another so long as it is used just to justify to find their own comfort to judge others from.

That’s not what I’m doing. I’m going from the ground up. Based on all available evidence, plants do not feel fear or pain. Again, they have no brains. This information guides my choices, following my goal to reduce suffering in the world.

You’re the one thinking backwards. I never said they were “less than,” only that they lack consciousness. You’re pretending we should feel guilty for eating things that cannot think.

If you feel that strongly about it, stop consuming anything.
