Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
Given how bastardized fasting during Lent has become, that isn't giving any credence to your argument. Technically you aren't supposed to eat any meat except for designated feast days, where you are allowed to eat fish.
I don't know why you would assume the traditions of a religion that, in all honesty shouldn't respect the idea of an evolutionary taxonomy, would respect changed understandings of evolutionary taxonomy. I'm just waxing poetic this point though, you are correct in the broadest sense.
I mean, I personally think about this shit all the time, but that's just me.
I mean the mention of Lent was just as an example of how, at least in my opinion (i haven't done any surveys yo) the common understanding is that mammals =/= fish, not like, that my argument is entirely underpinned by religious basis
but like shhhh shhhh we agree, it's just that you and i are super special people who know that we're all fish <3 <3 and most other people don't but we don't have to fight <3
either way though I wouldn't want to be a fish or a whale and have to deal with the parasite and shit they deal with. I know that parasites can get bad for people too but like shit at least we have hands and stuff, we don't have to like try to breach the surface and hope it dislodges something eating our eyes
Lol The benefit of being a fish is that you aren't aware you are a fish
