Interesting tooth pick. Why is it there¿ why not stick it straight through the tip¿
I was wondering the same thing when he poked it in there!
Most chorizos are skewered, I think this was supposed to be rolled up like a burrito and eaten, then I should actually use the toothpick like a toothpick and clean out my teeth afterwards.
Is that made from creatures or their secretions?
Tortilla and salsa are from plants, the chorizo is mostly creature with a plant remainder.
Are you vegan yet or do you think theres a reason you could give to the creature in the kill box that would justify their death to them.

What reasoning do you offer the plants you kill?
I don't value life in and of itself I value sentience, life is just a neat trick to duplciate dna, sentience is what is morally relevant. Plants have no nervous system or pain receptors, they have no mechanism to feel pain and no evolutionary reason to as they cant physically escape dangerous situations, plants respond reflexively to basic stimuli like light concentration and temperature the same way a thermostat "feels cold" and "acts to warm itself up" Even if you want to contend that plants can suffer, if you read Poore 2017 you will find that a vegan world would use 70% less cropland, this is because it is thermodynamically inefficient to filter your nutrients through someone elses body, so if you want to minimise plant deaths eat them directly https://doi.org/10.1007/s00709-020-01579-w
I value life itself.
Ranking the importance of species by sentience seems archaic.
Plants don't feel pain In the same way humans feel pain, but that doesn't mean they don't feel pain.
Plants produce chemicals that suppress pain, plants send out chemical distress calls, and plants communicate.
Sloths, snails, and tortoises cannot "escape dangerous situations" and still feel pain. They may avoid pain automatically, as humans do, but those organisms are feeling and avoiding pain, not registering the pain without feeling it like your thermostat.
You're killing organisms and consuming them to live. Me too. Plants and fungi too. they eat blood, meat, waste.
If you want to be vegan, I suggest living in India. I was vegan in India for one month and vegetarian for two without noticing because the food is so good.
If you really think that plants have feelings then you must pick one of the following: you shouldnt trim bushes without anesthetic because theyre alive just like my dog, or: this dog is just like a bush so no need for the anaesthic just cut them open.
You didnt respond to the other point which is that you being vegan would kill far far fewer plants, this is due to something called trophic energy loss, it is thermodynamically inefficient to filter your nutrients through someone elses body bc 90% of the calories are "lost" keeping that other creature alive
Do not cut your dog open to prove a false dichotomy.
What do you want to know about the efficiency of killing plants?
Calories are not "lost" by their ingestion and utility. You are here, having fun typing your answers because of the calories you have ingested and used.
Do you know anything about the person you are talking to or are you just being rude for some other reason?
nope.
some countries and schools require a TEFL certificate or prefer candidates with an associate's degree depending on the position, but if you want to teach English, all you need is to be a fluent English speaker.
The cost of living in most countries is around $500 USD a month for transportation, rent, utilities and food altogether; teaching English pays $2000 USD a month with zero qualifications or experience.
every month I taught English, I had a few extra months of my cost of living.
I taught English for about 7 years.
as long as you're making more than 500 USD a month remotely in any job, you can travel long-term.
Pffft get outta here.
