The last 60% of the message is about yourself. It might feel like you are just explaining yourself but other people perceive that as you defending yourself because you think you were right and shouldn’t have to apologize. Focus on what your friend said, how they might feel and how you are going to try to make them feel more comfortable going forward.

Yet most humans support putting animals in death camps by buying animal derived products.

If you’re offended by Russians killing an animal, use that as fuel to stop killing animals yourself too and go vegan :)

Although your claims might be true (we’ll see) they don’t address the argument you replied to which is that:

If you think that someone using AI is wrong because of the water or ecological impact then you should think much worse about people who chose to eat a meat burger instead of a vegetable one because the extra water usage and ecological impact are many many orders of magnitudes bigger than an AI prompt causes.

(╥_╥)

In my country they are both 22% but either way, reducing your car trips doesn’t give you the right to kill innocent animals.

Those are not mutually exclusive

Farmers (and by extension the people who pay them) are exploiting animals.

I don’t think I used the term brainwashed in my comments so not sure why you’re attacking me for that, but if you are really continuing to harm animals only because someone used a word you don’t like that’s cause for some introspection.

JE’s partner in crime Maxwell is theorized to have taken over the family business of extorting people for Israeli intelligence from her father.

I agree with basically everything you’re saying if I understand it correctly, other than “The option to not eat meat in terms of human history is basically brand new” which is easily disputed by Buddhism being over 2500 years old.

Ah the one humans make carry stuff instead of kill, safest bet.

Downplaying the ethical view that exploiting others is wrong and should be avoided as a “dietary preference” comes off as a little disingenuous.

Being human, the humane one, the one who sees themselves in others? There is nothing more human than being humane to animals and abstaining from exploiting them.

Which is compounded by 95% of researchers being meat eaters which is an inherent bias.

I don’t faint when I hear about human murder but wouldn’t want human corpses on my timeline either

Yes

This but with veganism lol

Maybe put a nsfw tag on the image of a corpse?
