I read this stuff and feel like a cow listening to someone complain that beef is so bad for your cholesterol.
Like, in a way, we're on the same side. We both have the same goal, to get people to eat less beef.
And yet, and yet I have to react with I DON'T FUCKING CARE, YOU MURDEROUS SHITWEASEL. Maybe there's a way in which it would be more effective to respond with "That's true! Eating me is awfully bad for you! As it happens, I have this lovely tofu recipe..."
But at the point at which I can respond to a conversation about how unhealthy it is to kill me with genuine concern about the effects on my killer's health... he might as well kill me. He's already stolen my life, whether or not I'm still breathing. I've lost it.
But luckily, y'all stopped reading like 2 paragraphs ago.
