Peta came out with a list of "vegan" idioms. Probably mostly a publicity stunt and some are clunky, but I try and use "feeding 2 birds with one scone" because it's a good pun.

Or "feeding 2 cats with one bird"

That's really problematic because scones are not part of a bird's natural diet, and makes them subservient to the charity of humans.

That's gonna be a fun one to watch if they ever follow up on this reasoning, given that at this point, most land-dwelling animals are "subservient to the charity of humans". Those that aren't are either hiding in few undeveloped areas, or gone extinct.

That is a good pun, and tells me a lot about someone if they've modified their habits of speech that much to avoid speaking like everyone else to project their worldview onto it. I really admire people who are actually wholly integrated that way.

I'm sorry, but "figure" is obviously offensive to a huge number of people, starting with anyone who's ever suffered from anorexia. And "speech" is clearly a slur against mute persons.

Please self-censor in the future, or the Stanford Brain Police will be forced to take appropriate measures.

They don't know about Unix and "Killing a child process"? Promoting violence in the family

And "daemon processes", being just generally scary

Yeah its like they decided all imagery in language is BAD. This is just the beginning when you are down this route.

>> It’s a figure of speech.

Apparently Stanford is not teaching their students the definition of words like figure-of-speech and cliche.

> I’ve never committed violence to animals. Nor do I promote it.

Do you eat them?
