I understand the sentiment.

However, given the amount of animal product we consume, the gaz we use, the slaves that make our stuff, the resources we steal from other countries, the wrappers and electronic we make and trash i would not be judgmental about it.

Unless you are a monk, you are probably making terrible consummer choice every fay.

Totally. We all unquestionably are. But there is a moral difference between doing so out of ignorance or out of personal necessity (you gotta eat) and doing so out of willful ignorance or out of personal luxury.

I did not respond to that post because he uses Uber. Hell, I live somewhere where I can't get a cab, the train doesn't go where I need to go, and Lyft just literally doesn't have cars here (it's weird and I haven't investigated it, but there are times where I just don't get pickups near my house, though they pop up half a mile away if I walk). I use Uber in those situations, and I don't feel bad about it.

I responded to his post because, yanno, certain folks love the term "virtue signaling"--what is it when you sign up for a website just to brag about how little you care about the people around you?

That deserves a little criticism, I think.

Fair point. Balanced answer. Can't argue.
