@lizzie @monkey what would it take for old Catholics and episcopalians to be in communion with the roman Catholic church? kinda weird to me that Lutherans would be so close to catholics in degrees of separation... aren't old catholics super close to being catholics even closer than say eastern orthodox?

I dont consider the prasthanatrayi to be merely the three most axiomatic vedanta sources but to be the most important hindu scriptures by far. I'll probably make a list of hindu scriptures I regard as highly divine in origin one day..

@anemone @mischievoustomato @technolyze but fish have much smaller brains on average than birds too I believe. one day I will stop eating fish too (but might still eat oysters) but that day is not today.

@anemone @mischievoustomato @technolyze I know some fish are more intelligent but most of the fish we actually commonly eat is not as intelligent as a pig or a cow. mammals and birds usually have much larger encephalization ratios than fish. you act like its totally unfounded and that avoiding factory farming in favor of suffering once isnt a good thing.

@technolyze @anemone @mischievoustomato being pescatarian is actually genuinely better than eating mammals as long as you dont eat cephalopods or cetaceans or other highly intelligent mammals which I would never do and as long as you dont eat fish that has been boiled to death which I rarely do. wild caught fish suffers less and usually has somewhat less capacity to suffer, though they aren't as stupid as commonly portrayed. for that matter neither are plants but one has to eat something.

@anemone @mischievoustomato I know but I choose to pick my battles to an extent. eating pescatarian is better than eating other meats that lived their whole lives suffering. some animals like oysters barely suffer if at all

@anemone @mischievoustomato I dont tend to eat farmed fish. only wild caught and sustainably fished local shellfish.
