    Yes, you know how people who don’t know what they’re doing routinely start super successful car companies and massively successful space exploration companies that launch more mass to space than the rest of the world combined, any chump can do that, trillion dollar car companies grow on fucking trees!

    Elon haters are fucking pathetic.

    The study doesn’t say the number of participants in the abstract, so, technically, you don’t know what a statistically significant sample is. and this is a couple dozen youtubers.

    Anyway. I don’t think I can convince you, nor can you convince me, so, how about we talk about something else, tangentially related? Have you heard of precision fermentation?

    Enough to see a clear pattern of people going “I’m going to be a vegan youtuber”, then for 3-5 years they say they’re fine, then the medical problems starts, they go to a variety of doctors, take all the supplements as they should, and nothing gets better, than they start eating meat, and the problems stop. And someone makes a compilation of them going through that process. YouTube has been a serious thing for since 2012, these people documented their lives for 3-8 years, better than any study could afford to. Again, to dismiss that is foolishness.

    People with a financial incentive and willingness to be vegan, with all the resources, couldn’t do it. They certainly had all the info this study did. To dismiss them because one study says otherwise is foolish, and the study is locked behind a paywall, I can’t read it to determine how long it lasted, how many participants it had. I’m basically just going off the abstract.

    With a variety of unhealthy sideffects? Even people whose whole job it is to be vegan(vegan youtubers), reported having medical problems. Mothers that had trouble producing milk and babies not getting enough nutrients and so on and so forth.

    Yeah, there aren’t violent psychopaths trying to destroy farm fields. The shortsightedness of self-righteous people is always hilarious to me. They didn’t think for even a nanosecond past what they thought was a massive gotcha.

    Nah, be honest with yourself, that’s not the reason.

    1. The simple reality is that most people aren’t self-motivated enough to maintain the level of productivity at home that they maintain in the office.
    2. Communication is more difficult.
    3. Keeping an eye on your employees is easier when they’re literally within eyesight.
    4. Training is easier when you have another person close by who can lead you through it.

    It’s likely that, in the long-term, we’ll end up with a hybrid system, where those that prove themselves responsible enough to WFH, will get to WFH, while the rest will be back in offices, which is the exact same thing we had prior to Covid.

    The companies I worked for let me WFH every day(aside from one weekly meeting) for years before Covid, but I routinely did 3x the work of other people, even as a junior developer.

    The problem isn’t with the companies, the problem is human nature, we don’t want to work, so we use every opportunity to wiggle out of it, on average, at least.

    No, we can’t, we’re omnivores, while you can survive on plant-based sources of protein, in the long term, it causes problems. Getting the right nutrients is difficult and expensive, even in the short-term, meaning that you have to be profoundly privileged to do it, so technically, you’re classist.

    And you didn’t answer my question, what about all the other suffering you support? People who suffer so that you can be comfortable, everyone from the avocado farmers and factory workers to the bugs/animals that get poisoned by various pesticides? How is their pain ok, while the cows’ pain is unacceptable? Do you understand that you can’t exist without causing some pain and discomfort, somewhere to something?? The only reason you have a problem with eating meat is because that is right in front of you.

    …that is a profoundly stupid way to look at it, you cannot exist without hurting something or someone, your mere existence causes pain to some people, and they’d much rather you stop existing, are you going to oblige them too? To define pain and suffering as unacceptable in all forms is to deny reality.
