Still evil and crule

Reminds me of my ex questioning why I would eat meat in Minecraft since I'm vegetarian
- Lmao. Oh no, the pixels in the shape of a ham hock are suffering!
  I'm vegetarian but I don't even like playing vegetarian Sims. I mean, it's cool to be included, but I already have to navigate menus to find specific foods IRL. I don't want to have to do it in a game.
  
  But your promoting big meats agenda !!!!!
- I'm a meat eater but had trouble killing those Minecraft sheep
  
  I never do it. Look at my name. First thing I craft with iron is shears.
- pigs in videogames use real electricity
  
  Hmm, good point. The pig AI requires a lot more computations than wheat or pumpkins which are managed by random tick updates.
- Is it bad that I actually refuse to eat meat in Minecraft, too.
  I don't judge people for eating a few pixels, but personally I don't want to promote animal cruelty, real or not. It also makes for a nice challenge to create a sustainable food source without the ol' lava chicken machine.
  
  i eat meat but i think what you're doing is perfectly fine. no different than playing an rpg character who won't kill for moral reasons.
  
  Meanwhile, I'm a cannibal in Fallout 76.
  
  It's just that bread is a bad food source in Minecraft but steak is very good. That is, until you have enough gold to eat golden carrots, but that usually involves battery farming pigmen. My irl morals don't come into play when playing most games and nowhere is this clearer than my rimworld saves.
  
  I do vegan playthroughs of the games I play
  
  So, do you also avoid leather products in Minecraft? Because that kinda locks you out of progression with enchanting unless you play modded.
- L-l-l-lava! Ch-ch-ch-chicken!

- Oh god, I thought that was an experience unique to me. I found it so stupid that I was sure such a thing could only happen once.
  My ex is a vegan, a -final boss- vegan
- Meanwhile I have a full on vegetarian farmstead in Vintage Story, and eat some meat IRL
- As a vegetarian, eating meat really isn't amongst the worst things I do in Minecraft. If you think about the way an iron farm functions, you repeatedly scare a villager so that iron golems spawn, which you than kill. To even be able to start a new village you first have to kidnap a few villagers(unless you want to do the zombie curing thing). Oh while we are at it, if you want cheap prices with the villagers, you can trauma bond them to yourself, by repeatedly letting them get killed by zombies and curing them again. Villagers are also the only way to automatically farm crops so I have one trapped on a farm with a minecart under it as well. :>

Rabbits eat their own babies.
- Think about all the creative ways they can do that now since they have seen some recipes.
  
  Oh god
- It's a stress reaction instinct thing if someone reading this didn't know already. Something like "they're not going to survive anyway, better use the resources myself to be able to escape and make more". Many mammals kill their own young when stressed, I theoretize it could be somewhat behind post-partum depression as well since that can create strong feelings about how you have to kill your baby

I tell my cat all the time when she's misbehaving that her fur would make a great coat. Then I pet her and give her some kibbles anyway.
- She has domesticated you well
- Excellent approach, keeps the fur shiny & increases the amount

I got in trouble on reddit for writing "stupid cats box" and my cat jumped in because they said I was abusing him like whaaaat
- He looks like he knows whats written on that box
  
  HAW DARE YOU!!! IM CALLING OSHA!!!1!1!! 😡😡
  
  HOW CRUEL! I love it lol

I admonished a relative's dog for not stopping at a curb while we're walking. My relative asked me "Why do you say that to the dog? Do you think he can understand what you mean?"
I said "No that lecture was more for his owner's sake, that he needs consistent training to not run into the street."
