  • What you are describing is reaction to stimuli. You also describe gas releasing from tomatoes. Plants definitely have some form of biological intelligence but Vegans don’t care about that and that’s my point. Your comment doesn’t address OP’s question because what you are talking about has nothing to do with Veganism. This is why I got so dang frustrated. So many of these commenters were not in a position to answer OP’s question because they don’t know what Veganism is or what Vegans value.

    Biological intelligence is not the same as having a subjective experience. If there is no subject, there is no one to grant rights to. There is no one ever experiencing pain or pleasure etc. You could at best take an agnostic position on plant consciousness. As we understand it today, consciousness is an emerging property of life with brains/nervous systems. In any case you are probably and hopefully wholly uncaring of tomatoes being harvested, and in that respect it’s hard for me to discern your point of discussion as good faith.


  • Holy shit this thread is full of dipshits that don’t know anything about veganism. A bunch of even dumber fucks think plants are sentient or feel pain. You animal abuse apologist should actually take some time to understand why people are vegan.

    Anyway OP, for this particular question you’re going to find two vegan camps.

    • Camp 1 - the majority of vegans - No brain. No conscious experience. Not sentient. There is no subject, so there is no one to grant rights to. You can eat jellyfish - but like every other vegan on the planet I’d ask why the fuck you want to eat then instead of literally anything else that’s vegan. Then we remember that, it’s just a gotcha question. Maybe focus on questions that seeks to reduce and reject the trillion+ other victims people not being vegan creates.

    • Camp 2 - the minority of vegans - Isn’t plant matter not vegan >:(


  • I think with today’s audience those IP’s have a lot more strength than Battletech or Shadowrun. If you think Warcraft or Starcraft exclusivity to an Xbox console won’t sell units I don’t know what to say.

    Rare certainly is an interesting one. They had a dark decade there at Microsoft no doubt. Things are getting better. The studio itself aside I think their IPs are getting decent utilization with the upcoming perfect dark and last gen’s killer instinct. They have a lack of banjo for sure. Little shocking at this point. Seemed like the smash inclusion was big enough a hit to see sales.



  • The big player battles still to this day have broken lobbies. You can’t filter game mode in big player mode either. Which means if you don’t care for slayer and you get thrust into a slayer match, too fucking bad. Matter of fact, don’t leave or they’ll temp ban you. Also, their netcode will kill you through walls as you turn a corner because fuck you.

    I put in at least two dozen hours into the multiplayer because there is a lot to love when things are going smoothly, it’s just unbelievably unpolished for the amount of money sunk in. They seem to have no idea what the fuck matters to players in an online space, or at the very least don’t care.

    They ruined Halo a decade ago, and it seems they are just gonna milk whatever shit gets stirred in until the franchise dies.
