Not in a great spot. My material needs are met, so don’t worry about that. Just want to break out of the cycle I’m in of “oh hey, you have only a few hundred from this paycheck before you’re negative again.”

Animal exploitation and murder are horrible and disgusting and you should deleted this comment.

Shrimp and fish are sentient creatures, and you should feel ashamed that you’re proposing torturing others as chattel slaves and commodities for a quick buck.

I absolutely understand why this wouldn’t be an “agree to disagree” sort of thing for you, but I’m not having this argument right now. I’ll read and consider the links you shared, though.

If I saw someone’s actions as tantamount to genocide then I wouldn’t simply agree to disagree. That’s what I understand and that’s why I’m not asking her to hear me out.

It’s not a comparison, they’re literally chattel. They’re literally sentient. Stop being a slavery apologist, human supremacist

Shocking. Bees feel pain !? Did you know that honey bees like Apis mellifera and wasps like Vespula vulgaris for example recognise faces?
