Oh sure, not eating things because you think they're gross is different. Like I'd not even gove escargot a shot
Show your working, especially with regards to how breeding animals into captivity just so that at some point down the line they can be killed and eaten can possibly be seen as moral
it's totally your prerogative to disagree
I can suspect why you might disagree but you said you don't want to go into it and that's fine.
so I'll just leave it at that.
I didn't know you were vegetarian/vegan
I don't like the fact that a living thing has to die in order for me to sustain my life but the circle of life and all that. everything dies.
somewhat equivalent to those that donate organs at the point of death. you are giving something of yourself so that someone else can be sustained.
what is suspect and what I can TOTALLY understand is that the meat industry does the killing and breeding in some really inhumane ways. However, there are exceptions to this and when I cook for myself I buy from trusted sources.

How?
I thought it was clear the monster didn't quite feed on them, but did something else. I'm not sure what, though.
It was shown that Will was in the other world far longer than Barb, but he managed to evade the monster up until the very end, and he was near death with an alien tentacle down his throat when they found him. We see Barb get captured immediately. I'm willing to bet that what it was doing to Will happened to Barb, but he lucked out and got found before it killed him.
Plus we see Will vomit up a small slug at the end, and when El finds Barb's corpse, there's a somewhat larger looking slug coming out of her mouth.

Yeah, I noticed that. I was more or less wondering about the actual purpose of the
slug. Is it a parasite or something different?
I think it's a baby and that thing was using people as incubators. Based on Will's symptoms I'm betting that it was specifically using the lungs as egg chambers, and that when enough slugs got pumped down there the person would eventually suffocate and die.
Reminds me a bit of SCP 439 except not nearly as bad.

Well, good thing I was just about to hit the bed!
Stranger Things is only 8 episodes so you can blow through it pretty quickly. I only took so long because I kept putting it off.
I'm sure it'll be fine...maybe...
Yeah, I suppose compared to DS9, 8 eps is nothing. That said, most are longer than the average television episode.
Depends on what era of television. Most shows nowadays are about an hour.
42 minutes without commercials is about average these days. Stranger Things runs from 41-55. That said, that's an amazing amount of restraint given they probably have no limitations on running time. Some shows went really overboard with it (like Arrested Development's fourth season).

Just finished the last season of 30Rock.
The show somehow reminds me of FakeGAF.

Now starting Vikings. <3
the heat? I'm dealing with it alright but I've been wearing heavy jeans all day and the inside of my thighs is as red as the day is long, jesus christ they hurt.
vikings is alright, it's production value is great but the pace is kinda break neck, at least you wont get bored.

Really? Just a general vibe, or are you pulling specific character parallels?

I'm not, but I am under no illusions that the reality of meat is inherently immoral. And I realise that this is going to come off as hypocritical because of that, but just because I'm being hypocritical doesn't make it moral. Plus I do genuinely want to go vegan one day, I'll just need to put a lot of thought into it as my diet is already limited thanks to allergies.
I wouldn't agree with your equivalency, people who donate organs A) consent to it and B) don't get killed when the organs will be at their best. Not to mention that there are perfectly healthy alternatives to eating meat, when organs can't be replicated.
I guess the point is that we have reached a situation where it is wholly unenecessary to eat meat (plus it actively contributes to damaging the environment), but we still do it anyway. I would like to think we're a compassionate enough species to be able to get past that one day but I'm not going to get my hopes up, and will instead just argue for veganism where I can.

Not probably
Just got my answer to that. Pretty lame way for that to happen
He gets better than that but its mostly later seasons / DS9 where he really comes into his own if its what I think you are referring too.
The probably refers to how she died, not whether or not she died. We know she died.

Wouldn't you like to know!
Nice, who is it? She must be someone special if you forgot

Mankind divided, very dull first mission, the second mission starts off with one of those cutscenes that aren't really cut scenes, like you're seeing out of the character's pov but you can't control anything except the camera a little bit and you have to wait it out.
So I wait it out and when something fucking interesting finally happens the game crashed, not a great first impression, I'll get back to it tomorrow.

Yeah, that's more or less what my fibromyalgia feels like.

Oh wait you have fibromyalgia too? That makes at least 3 of my friends
I feel like that's a higher number than usual
Oh, that's what you have? I"m sorry, that must be awful. I can't imagine.
I am blessed in the sense that I have no major illnesses that I know of, my pain is because I've been running my body into the ground with batman workouts
It's more common than people think. And because it manifests itself in so many different ways and levels of severity, people are often ignorant and judge you. For instance, mine is debilitating whereas I know a person who is still able to maintain a full-time job with it.
(Thus, I get comments like, "Well, my friend can work with it. Why can't you? You're just lazy."

Yeah it's weird, I have autism too and the government gives me money every month, yet I'm fully functional and can hold down a decent job, i actually even wrote my council once about it and they never got back to me.
I actually kinda feel shitty about it because I'm always hearing horror stories about proper disabled people having their benefits taken away, a lot of the time it results in suicide, either the disabled person or their carer who can't manage looking after someone like that without the money.
So you say Im a star? I take it!

Wow that's fucking awful that they'll give you money for being wired differently, but they won't give you a penny for a condition that puts people through awful pain and stiffness.

My dad had to fight tooth and nail to get disability benefits after having a stroke, which was just eventually replaced with Social Security and they recently cut his health benefits too. Yay, America!
