Going by the popular votes, no, actually.

Yamaha Pacificas are a great first guitar in terms of value for money.

No. They do not.

GOURANGA

Someone needs to own a car still.

And that someone can’t be available every day when I need to do two school runs and an office trip.

That someone can’t always be available when the sink springs a leak and I need to go buy some new washers and plumber’s mait.

I really question your life experience at this point. If you’re single, childless and living in a big city, sure, cars are very unnecessary. For most people this isn’t the case

For real, the pavements here are like bunched-up carpet from all the roots, lol

It’s a town of 90k people. The kind of town that the vast majority of people in the UK live in.

Just out of curiosity how can you transport something large and bulky, that isn’t allowed on public transport, let’s say furniture, or the remains of a shed you dismantled or any one of a hundred inconvenient loads that occur during your life without a car?

Great, well I have a six year old that needs to get to his school which is about a mile and a half away and I need to get to work 20 mins after which is about three miles in the other direction.

I then also need to do his pickup during my lunch break.

Most people’s lives don’t work without a car because that’s not the society that car ownership created.

The train doesn’t stop at the recycling centre. Nor does it stop at my childrens’ schools. Ditto my office, the supermarket, IKEA, the house of the person I just bought weed from.

The layout of our towns expanded with the ubiquity of cars. Services agglomerated and became situated where land was cheap rather than central.

Bikes and light mass transit have their use cases but removing cars is not feasible for the majority of households

Hard to carry a TV on a bicycle, or transport loads to the recycling centre, or drop my kids off at school or any one of a thousand things that occur day to day.

Our world redesigned itself with the invention of cars. Trying to exist without them is very hard for your average family, especially those who live outside cities.

Or the tree trunk grew to the asphalt.

Yeah, because it’s a jraphical interface format.

Big logical gaps in this argument:

The op never said they were superior morally.

Even, given the above, the op deemed chickens immoral that does not make all chickens’ actions immoral. Preening, roosting and eating grain are not immoral activities.

Defining only the horrible acts as horrible is a circular argument as no definition has been provided as horrible.

Other than those three, you really stuck it to the carnist, chief.

You understand the egg in this dish is unfertilized, yes?

They killed a full quarter of their own country. Not in a neglectful kind of way, but full on mass executions, killing fields, concentration camps kind of way.

Pretty comparable, if you ask me.

Password managers are great. Until you need to log in with a new device or a device that’s not yours.

Oh, the sixteen digit randomly generated password with two alphanumeric characters in it? Sure I remember that.

The top one says one in five executives agree with the statement. The corollary to this is the cast majority of executives do not agree with that statement.

This is getting ridiculous, you are arguing from a place of ignorance. I’ve raised cheviot sheep for more than twenty years.

All species are native to somewhere, we haven’t made species out of nothing. We’ve bred breeds, for sure.

I’m fascinated by your gormless attempts to explain my own culture to me. The sheep I raise come from flocks dating back to the neolithic. The techniques for raising them have barely changed in that time. The quad bike might raise a few caveman eyebrows but that’s about it.

They free roam the moors nine months of the year, field graze for three. I honestly don’t care what you think now. You have your own misinformed opinion of what all farming is like and you won’t listen to someone who does it any other way.

You understand they breed themselves, right? The same species that were native to the area for millions of years before industrialisation will continue to survive there afterwards, just in much worse conditions and at a much lower population.

You have no problem with animals dying in pain as long as it stops them dying painlessly? Awesome

You’re skipping over a hell of a lot of points with your ‘just let them live in peace’ bit. There are tens of millions of livestock just in my country that are entirely capable of living in the wild because that’s how they currently live. In the UK, cows live in fields for ten months of the year and sheep live in fields throughout. There they are given antibiotics and protected from predators.

You let them out without anyone to take care of them and they will die by the millions every year. Do you know how many yows would die giving birth without human invention? Do you know the survival rate of twin lambs without human intervention? Do you think a life of disease, exposure and predation is better than the life they currently have?

The species as a whole would survive, but at a much lower population and in much worse conditions.

I swear vegans spout off about things they know nothing about.
