  • I keep thinking about this angle. Maybe it’s a case of a double standard being ok? Like if some group of people are like “Don’t worry about me, I don’t need any empathy” and others say, “I hope you will show me empathy” then I don’t see why a single standard has to be applied.

    Not sure if you agree with this analogy but for example as a male, I don’t mind if a woman says something to me that might be considered intimidating if the roles were reversed. Sure, I need to be mindful of whether she might cause harm to someone who isn’t me, but again, I don’t need to apply a single universal approach to myself if I know in my heart it’s not necessary.

    Anyway, maybe the stronger rebuttal is “That’s not what he meant”.

    For a while I’ve been meaning to memorize all the two digit squares but of course I then fail to practice them, so I’m not very far along. But that would help you with this too, not to mention you can start doing some square roots too.

    For quick and dirty I’d probably just go with 37*38 = 40*40 -> 16% which is kinda close to 14% eh?

    Veganism definitely has terrible PR. But we also have to be wary of cherry picking the extremists from a movement as representatives of the whole.

    I’d like to be 100% vegan, I’m not but I try. We started with weekday vegetarianism and went from there. Moderation is absolutely effective, IMO.
