i mean you literally just admitted that you have an alt on your own discord channel where you pretend to be your own childhood friend called Diane or some shit, right

Short Answer: You can't.

Long Answer: PM Cheat and request it. (He won't do it however.)

I permabanned them as requested. And it’s she (I think I can start enforcing that since I don’t have a dick anymore, right? Idk).

"that's just your opinion" is nothing more than an empty non-sequitur that stifles discussion and fosters an atmosphere where people are afraid to speak their true minds without sugarcoating, walking on eggshells, or otherwise potentially hurting someone's feelings just for choosing to assert oneself in a way that doesn't insult the intelligence of everyone reading the post

so it's not about free speech; if anything, posting shit like that is anti-free speech, and these rules would encourage more in-depth discussion, because it opens the door to better responses, such as "why do you feel this way?" which will inevitably lead to a more fruitful conversation or argument

everyone over the age of 3 understands that nobody's opinions are factual, so there's absolutely no point in acknowledging the subjectivity of your statements—it's kind of like pointing out that the sky is blue; why would you even do that

the only appropriate response to posts like that is to ban them, because they're essentially spam that contributes absolutely nothing

if the quarantine hadn't complicated things, would you consider going the extra mile into veganism? because if it's an ethical decision for you, it's important to understand that vegetarianism isn't quite "enough" unless you're using it as a stepping stone

No, because I don't think there's anything wrong with using animal goods when you're not hurting the animal. A sheep in captivity, being shaved every now and again in exchange for food, water, shelter, and security, is not a bad deal for the sheep. They essentially get to escape the cruel cycle of life in exchange for a harmless procedure done every once in a while.

the trouble is, when extracting virtually any product from farm animals, they are pretty much invariably harmed in the process

the animal exploitation industry is a business like any other, and like any other business, they have to meet profit margins by selling as much produce as efficiently as possible—and there's no scenario where this ends well for the animals

with regards to sheep-shearing, a factory farm isn't going to hire someone who treats sheep with love and care, because that's not fast enough—instead, they hire sociopaths who don't care if they injure the sheep, as long as they get it done as fast as possible

the nicks and cuts they get from this procedure are known to attract flies—so many, in fact, that they'll start laying eggs inside of their wounds; the maggots will then start wreaking havoc on their insides and, of course, cause an even worse infestation (this is called flystrike)

because flystrike happens most often around the anus (for obvious reasons), farmers began to cut off the strips of skin around their tail in a process called mulesing—imagine having the skin on your buttocks peeled off, basically—to help prevent infestations, which is neither foolproof nor humane

this all takes place, of course, so that human beings can have cuddly clothes

when the sheep age beyond their usefulness, they are immediately slaughtered—and although opinions vary among vegans on how big of a deal this is, we can all agree that if you're going to put an animals "out of their misery," they should be euthanized, not slaughtered

online, you'll probably find articles talking about how important and necessary it is for sheep to be shorn, because they're incapable of shedding themselves, and will overheat and die if we don't do it for them—"so what's the harm in reaping the benefits of that"—and this is true, but you have to remember that the only reason sheep on farms don't stop growing their wool is because they've been selectively bred for that very purpose

so no matter how you look at it, livestock sheep are bred to suffer—the industry cannot sustain itself if they don't
