Several I never comment on or engage with, several I comment on and very few topics I engage with.
That's probably smart. Even with important things I don't think online arguments have ever swayed anyone. I like being an annoying vegan and arguing about it occasionally, but sometimes it's just frustrating and I have to disconnect for a while.
I actually like annoying vegans. The truth is that you are right and I just don't care enough about the planet. You're far better people than I am. I also think that's an awfully frustrating thing to say to a vegan.
The cognitive dissonance says i should really try to make some kind of vegan food... Don't give up.
I can respect that. I was once where you are and one day I just decided I couldn't justify it anymore. Now I only eat sticks and moss.
But if you wanna try making some vegan food my advice is just don't overthink it, make some pasta and just pan fry some veggies you like and mix 'em through with some olive oil. It's always a tasty time.
Absolutely and specially in this place. But most topics are ok.
Just pretend that we all vaccinate when we are told and you will be fine. :)
No
Yeah, there are a few things I can't discuss. I was trying to discuss antisemitism with a group of Jewish people and that was clearly a discussion where there was no point even conversing. Merely asking for information was too much. It's a shame because I've learned a lot from various groups who have expanded my world view by sharing their understanding with me. But ultimately I think any area of discussion can end up being painful and pointless if the people you're conversing with have immovable beliefs - climate change, identity politics, socialism /capitalism are all possible tar-pits
