It’s the Catholic Church. I think they can afford an Italian tutor or something for the Pope, my dude. Maybe the use of this word points to their stagnant (repugnant?) ideals that (apparently like the Pope’s grasp of…language?) haven’t evolved in the past 100 years.

Interesting take. As if dairy cows don’t then go to slaughter to become meat. You’re feeding the problem while ignoring the end of the production line that you have a hand in upholding. Occasional anything is not the problem. But when milk is in chips, crackers, cereals, baked goods, etc. we’re getting too much of it. There’s a difference between having a single glass of milk and mass overconsumption, since we don’t solely get dairy from occasional milk, cheese, cream, etc. This is where the issues come in. The dairy industry is an issue, dairy itself is an issue, the pervasiveness of dairy in the food system is a problem, and you ignoring your part in climate change and factory farming by supporting the dairy-to-meat pipeline (not to mention disingenuously equating vegetable farming with animal agriculture) is an issue. I won’t be responding again but enjoy your milk! Your hormones, heart, and bones won’t!

Lol. Milk = vaccine is a new one! I admire your imagination!

That’s a fair angle! I would urge you to consider that the existence of lactase in humans should not dictate our eating habits today. Especially with more current, direct examples and studies of dairy’s impact on climate change, health, and chronic illness. Maybe we should look at today’s evidence instead of “we’ve done it for a while now”. We can change our habits, I believe in you!

Then why is 80% of China lactose intolerant? It’s a very North America consumption habit because of North American industry. Milk doesn’t make strong bones, they’ve been lying to you.

Lol. You should keep trying raw cow’s milk! I’m sure it definitely won’t have any negative consequences! The only thing stupider than drinking milk and eating dairy is specifically searching out raw milk with even more puss and health risks in it. There’s a reason this stuff is illegal in some countries you dolt.

You sound like you make young women and girls uncomfortable and have for years.

And knock knock jokes are typically not that funny once you pass a certain age. Lol. I get that it’s a joke, and have (spoiler) even heard it before! It shows more about the person making the joke I think. Maybe reach a little higher, use those tippy toes!

That is absolutely better than most. Factory farming is abhorrent and I grow lots of my food too! Hunting is definitely better but meat can still have an effect on health. Worth investigating but it’s a personal choice ultimately. But to each their own and within their own limit. Getting better is the goal, if more people took small steps there would be less suffering in the world. I get vegans can sometimes be angry but there are also some who recognize the efforts of individuals.

We’re literally the only species to drink another species milk. And you think the person criticizing your action is aggressive? I get you have a victim complex but seriously, are you a baby cow? Because if that comes off as aggressive, you may need to take a break from the internet for a while.

Civility has its place. Expecting civility when faced with the lack of it? I get taking the high road but now you’re talking down to vegans? Lol. Must be nice up on your high horse with all the rules and regulations to abide by! Angry Vegan tropes need to stop and it’s not up to the vegans. Lol. It’s almost like it’s a silly, purposefully played up caricature. You don’t know better, people need to learn and it’s not always with kid gloves. Grow up and have a discussion. Lol

Find the one who is constantly critical, not just of tech bros? Lol. I think people have forgotten how to be critical of their actions and then judge those with a healthy dose of it. It’s up to the individual but comments like these divide more than help. Maybe read a book or try to not be as antagonistic online. Start with just 1 day!

Couldn’t agree more! Can’t believe people ignore everything in their milk. They must really love the puss particles in it! Doesn’t seem to bother anyone! Or the 1000s of different cows milks in your single cup! Absolutely disgusting and not to mention countries that drink the most milk have the highest amount of osteopetrosis cases. It’s not helping! Drink up, chumps!

lol. Nope, it was just the best search alternative to Google and DDG that I found worked for me. Thought I’d throw in my 2 cents. Isn’t that the point of this place?!

Garbage results compared to google results? Lol. You sure you’re using SwissCows? Lol. DDG was my default before switching to SwissCows and I find SwissCows much better, personally.

Please do! Again, the results I’ve gotten (personally) have been far superior to Google or any other reasonable alternative.

I believe you are correct. However, only on desktop. The Medium article specifically states they do not use ads on mobile so I believe ads are only on desktop. I typically use on mobile and have not seen any ads, nor on my non-mobile Firefox config when using SwissCows. Again, the ads are based on anonymous search results and in terms of relevant search results, at least in my testing, SwissCows far surpassed competitors.

This is not true. A 2-min look shows they are a Swiss-based, private search engine that does not serve ads (on mobile only apparently) and has its own web index, but also uses Bing’s web index.

Apparently, they do serve adds on desktop but they’re based on anonymous search results and I presume having UBlock installed would resolve this.

Medium has a whole write-up here: https://medium.com/secure-words/try-swisscows-privacy-search-for-mobile-what-are-you-waiting-for-e616dd828328

I had switched to DDG search and, like you, was getting more and more frustrated with their results. I then switched to SwissCows (https://swisscows.com/) and have never considered another search engine since. The results I want are always top 5. Every time. I sopped testing alternatives long ago and am extremely content using SwissCows! I would recommend checking it out!

I would argue that it is quite disingenuous to equate eating a plant with eating an animal. This makes the waters intentionally muddy, allows excuses to be made for how many animals one consumes, and does not take into account anything past the killing of the animal such as industry impact on climate, etc. This also shows some genuine misunderstanding of plants. With fungi for example, only the “fruiting bodies” are typically eaten as mycelium is often throughout healthy soil, and consuming a single mushroom does not kill the entire organism. Slaughtering a genetically engineered chicken that can’t stand up anymore is not the same impact or “killing” as eating a mushroom.

Lastly, animals also eat vegetables, plants and grains. Are these deaths somehow not on your hands when you eat meat? Arguably this would involve even more death and killing even if we do abide by the above flawed definition.
