  • Best you can hope for on bumble is a ‘hey’ from the woman.

    That’s all they ever need to say, because again, it’s stacked heavily in favour of women so when they send 100 ‘hey 👋🏼’ messages they get 95 replies that have to carry the entire conversation. It sucks but that’s the reality.

    PSA: If you’re a guy on a dating site and you reply with just “hey” or something similar to a lady then you’ve fucked up.

    You get one shot at a semi-witty reply that may get her to smile before your reply is buried under 100 other guys also vying for her attention.

    Just quickly read her profile and make some kind of riff off of it with an open ended question.

    “Hey blahblah I saw you liked The Office, I’m more of a fan of working from home myself.

    Also, why’s everyone seem to be looking for Jim? Who’s that guy?”

    Yeah I probably should have, thanks for those links.

    The existence of products designed to inject B12 is different to what I interpreted the person who I replied to was saying though.

    I understood them as saying that farms are injecting B12 into animals so that meat gains some kind of nutrient that isn’t naturally occurring or not occurring at an appreciable level.

    I have no doubt animals have all kinds of vitamin deficiencies and receive supplements to improve the over all health of the animal and the nutritional value of meat.

    But is this the reason they are injecting B12?

    Obviously I’ll read more on it.

    EDIT: so the very first link basically confirmed what I just said, when an animal is deficient in B12 farmers inject it to make it more healthy. They aren’t injecting B12 into animals because animals just don’t have B12…

    Yeah what you’re describing is basically humans make morals.

    The problem you should have with this is that currently society is fine with eating animal products.

    Many societies were successful because they ate meat.

    How do you reconcile a situation where you believe humans are the source of morals but you disagree with a particular moral created by humans I.e. that it’s ok to eat meat?

    I don’t think you know what you’re talking about.

    B12 is produced by microorganisms inside the guts of cows/ruminants.

    They don’t inject B12 into animals as far as I know. Maybe you could link a source for that? First I’ve ever heard of it.

    Vegans. Vegans are claiming there are moral facts when they say that I am wrong for consuming animal products.

    Although I’ve had discussions with vegans who claim they aren’t moral realists, I can’t recall a satisfactory argument for a moral anti-realist vegan position.

    If you’d like to offer one, please do.

    I agree, morals are a societal thing and right now it’s perfectly socially acceptable to eat meat.

    How I apply this to my own actions is by conforming to the made up rules of society because that seems to keep me alive.

    If I lived in a vegan society and it was not socially acceptable to eat meat I likely wouldn’t.

    Nothing is inherently wrong with cannibalism.

    I’m not a moral realist. So I don’t believe in moral facts I.e. that murder is ‘wrong’ or being charitable is ‘right’

    It’s kid stuff (IMO) to believe in mystical rights and wrongs of the universe. The universe does not care one iota that you cease to exist tomorrow or if all humans were to become extinct (IMO).

    If you disagree please point me to the source of your morals, how do you know what’s right and what’s wrong?
