I've finally made it to a local show and I'm surprised how few people are here. I must still be tapped into the Australian metal scene that I can go to a sore that's a big deal to me and it's still half empty by the end of the second last band

Nothing beats local metal gigs

There was a very respectful circle pit. Two guys got angry at each other but then they hugged and made up. It was heartwarming to see

That's what non metal people don't get. The music is catharsis for negativity, not incitement.

Sometimes I look at some things I said and done 20 years ago and think omg cringe.

There is something blackly hilarious about how many vegans are insisting they should be able to feed a cat vegan diets if they really really want to. (Blowup in outoftheloop)

Hi! I'm the mod that started this all! I think everyone who uses the phrase "obligate carnivore" is outing themselves as a complete buffoon since it has literally 0 application to whether or not it is possible, which would be obvious if people looked up the definition.

But of course, that would be expecting a lot from people :)

...nah mate. You're literally putting your desires over the animal's needs. It's the same egotistical "animals must serve the desires of man" schtick that veganism arose in rejection of.

Miss me with that bullshit.

soz but are the animals killed for the cat food not equally deserving of life and happiness as a cat?

Little one bought home her fathers day gift which was a 'all about her dad' poster and she has successfully made me sound like I'm an alcoholic.

Which is super impressive because I don't even drink alcohol, lol.
