"Leooooolaaaaaa rooooot ...."
...leola root is potatoes...i cannot be wrong
no, because if you dont use the kill switch you get The Ring happening.
Is that "the ring" cannon or are you just yes anding?
"cannon"?
Uhh, like part of the story.
Cannon is a thing you shoot big lumps of exploding metal to the distance of tens of kilometers.
Canon is the thing with the plots and stories. Also, a camera.
Ohh, I can see how you could be totally confused becuase im the dumb one.
Don't worry about it. From what I've seen, about 75% of people make the same mistake lol.
In my experience it's far higher. That and "rouge" seem to be very common misspellings.
That's canon.
Yeah, cabin. Like I said.
Exactomudo, knishy.

Ask them.
They say, "yes".
How do you define intelligence? In any case, I think it's irrelevant. What's relevant is whether the beings are self aware or if they exist having notions and concepts of fear of death. For this reason, I deem it unethical to slaughter - for instance - animals in a setting in which their peers are aware of the moment of death of their peers. Seeing, for instance, a cow agonize about their peer in front of them being shot to death is heart-wrenching. For this reason, my answer to your question is "yes". Yes I eat meat. :3
You got me curious, you seem to feel some way about slaughtering animals, but that doesn't seem to translate into your actions being aligned with your feelings.
Would you care to talk about it?
I'll be honest I have reduced my meat/dairy/egg consumption significantly, but every once in a while I'm not the one cooking at home and I don't really feel able to go on a side quest while hungry.

Number one tell no one, number 2...
We can probably simulate a snail but me killing that wouldn't make my wife scream at me for killing a snail.
