I wish vegans and vegetarians would be a bit more willing to promote this viewpoint.

I agree. I think that sometimes people avoid vegan/vegetarian options due to negative perception drawn from some prominent activists in the community (not helped when rage-baiters get more views and coverage).

I honestly think I would have become vegan sooner if there were less ‘hardcore’ vegan activists and more empathetic role models.

I fully support people making the public aware of awful conditions in livestock farms and abattoirs (nonviolently), as well as those who encourage alternative options (e.g. nooch is delicious and I wish I knew about it before I became vegan).

The people that dump red dye/fake blood on people, or block streets, or vandalise businesses, aren’t doing the movement any favours IMO. The same with people who disparage others who are making more ethical choices, but not the ones they have made (e.g. consuming less meat instead of no meat in this case).

Attacking a person’s character doesn’t generally work; people just get defensive.

That is an unhelpful response. OP is talking about actions individuals can take and you provided a single word response with a link to overall climate change sources, most of which individuals have no control over (beyond voting).

“…for multi-step tasks”

I actually like AI overview, though I use DDG, not Google. It’s especially helpful when you just want a simple answer e.g. stuck on a level in a video game, wanting to know the major exports for a country, checking the release date for a movie/game, basic troubleshooting questions.

Website developers typically bloat simple questions like this with irrelevant rubbish to waste your time and keep you on their websites longer.

No. People will use children as tools to migrate. They already do to an extent, but this would exacerbate it significantly. People should have children because they want to raise a family, not to use them as a tool to bypass inconvenient red tape.

The posts on this thread are evidence that people don’t actually care about the policies; if there is an oompa loompa behind it, it must be bad.

Almost every move the current US administration has done to cut red tape has been utterly stupid. This one actually makes sense. Having a separate citizenship database for every state is just silly.
