I've talked to a couple vegans that would eat lab grown meat. The only reason they're vegan is animals can't consent to being used

I'm vegetarian on special occations. Breakfast for instance.

Q: If you are an ethical vegan - Can you eat lab made meat that wasn't tested on other animals than humans?

I think that someone needs to buy a dictionary

If we can't agree on the meanings of words how can we communicate?
Hexrowe
The only reason we agree on the meanings of words is we've communicated them to each other. We can always do it again. When in doubt, ask!
AttilaTheHungover
Why not just stick to what has been already established? Why do it again for every encounter with another person? Pointless was of time.
Hexrowe
Don't have to! Most of the time people use words as they're most commonly used (I mean, duh). But when it seems they don't, just ask.

Just go to twitter
AttilaTheHungover
Why?
FastF0x
So you can see how people communicate when everyone has their own conception of everything around them.

to be honest... if terms such as feminist, man, woman, etc can change over time or at least be defined by the individual then why not? 1/2
unknownmale
however let it be clear... I'm not of the opinion that terms such as feminist, man, woman, vegan are anything, but clearly defined 2/3
unknownmale
in our language and don't agree with people wanting to take over the terms and redefine them to suit their own agenda 3/3

People have been describing men as women since language was born.

I… I thought it was a funny meme
unknownmale
to be fair it is, but the question is why... is it because it's absurd or because it's true?
unknownmale
men as women ? the general definition has been man = male adult, where male has been a person who produces sperm... while woman has been 1/2
unknownmale
adult female, where female has been a person who could give birth 2/2

I have questions.
ClooneyWasTheBestBatman
I have answers to your questions. Question my answers. answer my questions. answers exist.
Hexrowe
Okay! What does she actually mean when she says "vegan"? (And following up on that, how do you know what she means?)
barredone
I can't eat eggs or dairy. I often call myself a meat eating vegan.
Hexrowe
See, that's what I mean - it could just be a bit of personal jargon or in-joke she's so used to she doesn't remember it needs explanation.
ClooneyWasTheBestBatman
Vegans are allowed to eat other vegans. as long as those vegans are vegan fed vegans. I ate out a vegan once.
Hexrowe
...vegans are apex predators!?
ClooneyWasTheBestBatman
The most dangerous on earf.

And it's not worth getting the answers. These idiots don't matter. They're not worth your time. Your time is precious. Conserve your fucks.
Hexrowe
My fucks have a shelf life. If I don't use them, they just rot unused and go to waste.
GenXHippie
Use them for better things. People like that are honestly not worth a fuck. Not understanding what things are is a choice.
Hexrowe
A lot of the time people are just wrong, with no conscious choice involved. And I'll choose to try and understand where they're coming from.
GenXHippie
I can respect that. I’ve reached an age where I’ve lost that desire. I don’t have a lot of time left so I don’t want to waste it.

was taken to a vegan place. i kept correcting the waiter on his terms. Cauliflower or zucchini "steak" is NOT a thing! check the definition!
QuitLookinAtMineAim
I mean, I can name a dish whatever I want. Firecracker chicken doesn't contain and fireworks. You were just being difficult for no reason.
Redyls
we name and label things so we can effectively communicate. abandoning that means you are abandoning any semblance of a real discussion.
QuitLookinAtMineAim
I don't think that applies here. It wasn't advertised as "steak," it was "zucchini steak" or whatever. "Steak" doesn't explicitly mean "cow"
QuitLookinAtMineAim
I argue that "cauliflower steak" effectively communicates what the dish will be.
QuitLookinAtMineAim
I don't think we've "abandoned" anything by naming it as such.
