Then why are you so afraid to say, "Yes, please show me your evidence. I will read it and consider your point?" You would rather attack my evidence without ever knowing what it is, because you are not engaging in good faith.

You are literally nine or ten years late.

People actually use bitcoin for critical use cases. It satisfies needs in their lives that don't just have to do with crypto. Another vanity coin is not a substitute.

I asked you if you wanted evidence and you just said stupid shit at me. Would you LIKE evidence, now?

You can have the last bark. I won't reply anymore. Go ahead, take it. Buddy.

... I figure that going vegan isn’t necessarily that much of a stretch anymore. It’s not because of moral or ethical reasons

Then it's not veganism. Veganism is not a diet. It is an ethical position on the treatment of animals. All aspects of our treatment of animals. You cannot be almost vegan or sometimes vegan or partially vegan any more than you can be almost a feminist. Someone who believes women should be allowed to own property, but not his wife, is not almost a feminist.

I understand it. And I understand that it is bullshit. It is an attempt to emotionally distance oneself from the consequences of one's own choices. If one chooses for an animal to be killed, one is responsible for its death, and playing little semantic games cannot change that fundamental reality. But these games do prevent one from fully processing an idea that threatens them. It's how you brainwash yourself. Groom yourself to be able to commit cruelty and violence, and not feel bad about it.

To even engage in such sophistry is to confess one's guilt.

You also don't address the fact that carnists have poorer B12 levels than vegans. I am willing to bet that the only time you ever care or think about B12 is when you want to argue against ethical veganism. Have you ever had your B12 serum level checked? Have you ever tried to calculate your required daily intake or your actual daily intake? Obviously not. This is a disingenuous argument right from the beginning. You are working backwards from the conclusion you wish to reach and using any rationalization you can lay your hands on.

It is obvious you don't actually know what you are talking about, which is darkly ironic considering your accusations. You are arguing for what you want to be true, but you have been careful to keep yourself ignorant of what IS true, because if you knew then you might have to change.

To be fair, capital and social forces have conspired to help you remain ignorant.

No disrespect intended, but you are out of your depth and seemingly don't realize it. You should not be nearly this confident. Instead of googling, "vegans need b12", you should have googled: "cows b12 injection" and come up with some of these hits:

https://www.drugs.com/vet/vitamin-b-12-1000-mcg-injection.html

https://au.virbac.com/products/sheep-cattle-nutrition/hy-b12-vitamin

https://nz.virbac.com/products/trace-elements/smartshot-b12

https://farmanimal.elanco.com/au/sheep/product-directory/cobalife-vb12

While this 20 seconds of research does not establish that supplementing B12 is actually necessary for livestock, it does go towards establishing that it is an industry-wide practice.
