I guess I should thank you for demonstrating how I'm twisting your words by doing the same?

"Is a woman’s unfertilized egg a baby?" <- That's a trap? Of course a woman's unfertilized is not a baby, nor is a fertilized one until born, since that would usually be defined as "embryo" or "fetus" (if being all pedantic). Though, a woman's unfertilized egg is an "animal product", as is a slice of meat.

Now, I've chosen to use "meat" as a synonym, or over-category, for "animal products". I realize that this generalization might be important for some, so let me apologize for this apparently vital oversight, I'll try to cut it out in cardboard from now on.

Regarding your statement about morals, as I've stated before, the hyperbole would be meaningless if the creator (of the hyperbole) wouldn't find any truth or parallel in it.

I've read your statement as "No vegan would ever say: You're eating ~~meat~~ animal products, but that's all OK!", just a whole lot more demeaning and in perfect spirit of the original post.

And once again, to really cut it out and prevent these misunderstandings of mine, I read your statement as "Vegans will not morally lower themselves to omni standards (edit: /Ethics)".

If this was not the intention behind your words, then I will gladly stand corrected.

That would have been the first statement: "Vegan here, bottom left is a very small but sometimes very loud minority."

That second statement (about the religious killings) was specifically for why finding compromise is not possible for regular vegans. Even if it was a hyperbole, it would be meaningless if not sincere.

"Are eggs meat?" - Yes, that's what I'm saying, I'm not sure how it can be understood any other way.

Though, how can calling somebody a murderous cultist not be considered the least bit demeaning, whereas saying their family should starve is? As per "You wouldn’t say „... I do respect your religious tradition of human sacrifice“" having similar aggressive or demeaning meaning as "I don’t care if your family starves".

My point exactly! I don't see where the discrepancy lies.

Maybe that calling someone a murderous cultist is not the same as saying their family should rather starve?

"I don't care if your family starves, eating eggs is literally murder!" - How can this not be represented as "Eating meat is murder!"?

Isn't it a little weird to call vegans who say eating meat is murder a "loud minority", and then explaining why you cannot be a vegan without saying that eating meat is murder (hyperbole or not)?

Is there something in your comment I'm missing, or is this supposed to be some self-aware joke?

We only had fire drills, where we had to casually follow our teacher outside, stand at the collection spot for ~10min, and then go back in and continue the lesson.

Besides the two times where the canteen burnt the lunch so bad the alarms went off, we once had a suspected bomb alarm during uni where we were told to stay away for a few days while investigations were on, the ones who didn't need any of the instruments anyway. Turns out it was some depressed tween who made joke on reddit or tumblr about wanting to bomb the place.

Good times.

I think genAI would be pretty neat for ~~bit banging tests~~ fuzzing, aka. Throwing semi-random requests and/or signals at some device in the hopes of finding obscure edge-cases or security holes.

There was a supply shortage of fans during the launch of the LCD model. Valve solved this by shipping two types of fans until supply was restored. If you had one of the alternative fans, then your SD would have a pretty bad whine.

Though, Valve offered original replacement fans via. IFixIt soon after, so you could just buy the better fan and change it. I did.
