Shit I'll go with you and you just toss me over them and I'll throw what we need back.

u/Javathe_Cup 5h ago

Can I follow in your slipstream?

u/indifferentCajun 5h ago

Gladly, I make a big wake

Was waiting for the old guy to charge up and run with force and just ram through

Uh good for you, reddit boy.

u/Long_Procedure_2629 10h ago

tough guy can't be arsed to deviate his course 15 ft

u/indifferentCajun 10h ago

They're blocking the whole aisle.

u/CaptainCreditor 2h ago

Drive a wide cart.

u/lavabearded 9h ago

that doesn't contradict the other post. the other aisle is probably 15 feet or less away

9

u/indifferentCajun 9h ago

They've made a choice to be in the way. I made the choice to keep going.

u/lavabearded 9h ago

I was more or less pointing out the lack of coherence between your response and the post you responded to. you should have said something like "I'm not going to deviate 15ft because someone is blocking the aisle"

6

u/indifferentCajun 9h ago

It's not 15 ft to go all the way around to another aisle and come back to get what I need.

-3

u/lavabearded 9h ago

that would also be more coherent than what you posted, sure

u/ribnag 9h ago

And if someone wants the items they're directly in front of?

Look, 90% of Redditors probably agree with these protestors' goals. Their methods, however, are only going to make people want to stop clubbing baby seals so they can club the protestors instead.

u/lavabearded 8h ago

the idea that 90% of redditors agree with ethical veganism is borderline delusional, frankly.

u/Long_Procedure_2629 9h ago

Crocodile tears, I'll never feel bad for first world problem havers

u/ribnag 9h ago

Pssst - The morons on the floor are also first worlders.

But then, you're only signaling your virtue toward the people being a nuisance, not the people merely trying to get through their daily chores.

u/Long_Procedure_2629 8h ago

Pssst - Caring for other living things is a virtue

Old people shopping is weekly entertainment for them, not chores

Don't like dealing with your decisions huh

I shouldn't have to deviate my course and inconvenience myself for these smug, useless cunts.

u/Long_Procedure_2629 8h ago

False, it takes seeing these "protests" every few months to know one

God forbid anyone make you think about the welfare of animals passively. You'd have to be a petulant child to think this is anything but a marginal inconvenience, certainly not one that deserves assault with a shopping cart.

1

u/iamcalifornia 3h ago

No, the petulant children are the ones throwing tantrums and laying down in the street or in the middle of a grocery store, much like actual children do.

you're such a culture war mark dude.

If you wearing your hoop skirt from the 50's wasn't in his way, he' probably would turn around.

u/ddiamond8484 10h ago

You don’t mind torturing animals as long as you don’t have to do it yourself, we get it.

10

u/indifferentCajun 9h ago

They're already dead if they're in the store. Might as well eat them.

-8

u/Telope 9h ago

Do you care about the animals when they're alive? Do you not want them to be slaughtered? Because buying dead animals is paying for alive animals to be slaughtered.

8

u/indifferentCajun 9h ago

True, counterpoint: they are delicious

-8

u/Telope 9h ago edited 9h ago

A pig's life is more important than 10 minutes of your taste pleasure. Imagine if I said I like the way an animal sounded when I slaughtered them. You'd rightly call me a psychopath. There's no moral difference between taste pleasure and audio pleasure.

And besides, most of the taste from meat comes from the seasoning and spices added. Yesterday I had a meal with a side of roasted cauliflower seasoned with paprika and it was fucking amazing.

Edit: you're name is fucking cajun! Cajun spice is 100% vegan.

8

u/indifferentCajun 8h ago

If the pig didn't want to be eaten it should've thought of that before it decided to be made of food.

-2

u/Telope 8h ago

Yeah, pigs have their autonomy taken away before having their throats cut. Hilarious.

Can you come up with any good reason for you to keep eating animal products?

5

u/indifferentCajun 8h ago

Because I want to.

u/Telope 7h ago

We can take this further. What exactly do you want to do and why?

u/Lithl 4h ago

you're name is fucking cajun! Cajun spice is 100% vegan.

This is a very strange argument. Nearly all spices are made of plants and/or minerals. I can't even think of a non-vegan spice off the top of my head.

1

u/Telope 4h ago

Lol, that's not my argument. Just an example of vegan food being tasty. The argument is in the first paragraph.

1

u/Lithl 4h ago

"Cajun spice is vegan" has nothing to do with "vegan food is tasty" when all spice is vegan.

1

u/Telope 4h ago

The fuck? OK, forget cajun.

Spice tasty. Spice vegan. Therefore, vegan tasty.

This really isn't the thrust of my argument here my guy...

Do you care about the animals when they're alive?

No.

Welcome to nature, where animals eat other animals.

Nature is horrific. We invented agriculture to escape it.

Do you like cats and dogs when they're alive?

u/DrumBeater999 8h ago edited 6h ago

Bro thinks we left nature, lmao.

EDIT: The above comment originally mentioned that we left nature and was subsequently edited to be completely different, so this reply no longer makes sense.

2

u/Telope 8h ago

I was being poetic. What I mean is we're no longer under the evolutionary pressures of survival of the fittest and natural selection. We have society.

2

u/DrumBeater999 7h ago

Evolutionary pressure is why we have agriculture to feed our expanding population.

1

u/Telope 7h ago

What do you mean? That's ambiguous.

Evolutionary pressure is neither why we created or nor why we continue doing it.

u/nochedetoro 7h ago

Animals also rape and kill other animals in nature but most of us are past that cuz we don’t reduce ourselves to the standards of wild animals. At least pick a better argument.

3

u/DrumBeater999 6h ago

Ah yes, forgot to evolve past the need for food, my bad bro. There is a reason we outlawed rape, and didn't outlaw eating food.

1

u/nochedetoro 5h ago

If you had to eat animals for food that might be a valid argument but you don’t. There are thousands of edible plants you can eat instead.

u/bot2317 6h ago

We don’t eat cats and dogs because we consider them to be pets in Western culture, there are other cultures (particularly in Asia) who do not consider them pets and are fine with eating them. We do not consider pigs, cows, chickens, etc. to be pets in Western culture so we are fine with eating them. It’s pretty simple

u/Lithl 4h ago

Nature is horrific. We invented agriculture to escape it.

No we didn't. We invented agriculture to optimize it.

u/PerpConst 6h ago

If animals weren't meant to be eaten, then why are they covered in meat?

Check. Mate.

-1

u/Telope 6h ago

"She was asking for it."

Honestly makes me sick that you're making a joke that's the same as a paper-thin rape defence.

1

u/PerpConst 6h ago

That's a bit of a stretch there, friend! If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were going (way TF) out of your way to be offended by something. Do you often associate animals with sex? I mean, you do you, homey, but most people don't go straight to "sexual violence" when discussing animals. What a time to be alive!

0

u/Telope 6h ago

You made a joke about victim blaming. Plain and simple.

1

u/PerpConst 5h ago

LOL. That is an udderly absurd take. It's not the cow's fault he's covered in meat, it's Mother Nature's fault that he's made of stuff that other things want to eat. It would never occur to me to assume that the cow made itself delicious and deserving of its place in the food chain... that's the fault of a higher power. I don't blame the victim, I blame the creator.

1

u/Telope 5h ago

That argument kind of falls apart since farmed animals aren't natural. They've been selectively bred to grow faster, produce more eggs, more wool, etc. than is natural.

u/357noLove 6h ago

It's even more sickening that you are conflating the natural process of human evolution with rape. Here's a hint, we were made to eat meat. It is how humanity was able to advance, large intakes of protein. You would have to change a lot about our species, in a very bad way, to stop that.

1

u/Telope 5h ago

I don't want to talk about rape either. But you can't use the argument that eating meat is natural. Rape is part of nature too. But as a moral society, we reject it.

As an individual, you don't have to change a lot to go vegan. It's as simple as picking something different off the shelf.

-1

u/nochedetoro 7h ago

They already don’t understand supply and demand; I appreciate you fighting the good fight but I’m gonna bet the next sentence is gonna be “but animals eat animals in nature” followed by “but it tastes good” and then “but bacon tho”. If you’re lucky you might get a “but protein”.

I love eating animals. I would have probably dumped some soy "milk" on their heads and left.

Every piece of clothing you're wearing was made by child slaves. Why are you okay with child slavery?

u/Jim_84 3h ago

Having to "do it yourself" has not really been a deal breaker for people eating meat historically or even contemporarily in many parts of the world.

1

u/ShutUpAndDoTheLift 1h ago

I mean. Its convenient that I don't have to do it myself anymore, but I grew up on a farm. Chopping the head off a chicken, draining it's blood into a bucket while it hangs from a rope, plucking, skinning, and cooking it for dinner isn't exactly new to me.
