Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

It's because everything about my existence in a modern first world society contributes to it. Humans obviously can't maintain stasis, so maybe we as a whole are the problem. I am very proudly and staunchly childfree for that reason but I'm not going to go live in the forest in a tent to save the planet for a species that obviously doesn't deserve it.

NOT A SINGLE PERSON asked you to live in the forest in a tent. Taking the bus, being vegan, buying second hand, and eating the rich are all things we can do, AND STILL LIVE A MODERN, COMFORTABLE LIVE.

I'm childfree, carfree, and vegan. Still manage to love live inside my non-tent in my non-forest city.

It's almost like going vegan basically only requires shopping in different aisles at the grocery store, and you're using a reductio ad absurdum fallacy to justify your shitty, easily-changed behavior.

Promise me you'll never get on a plane again in your life and I'll promise to never eat meat again.
