Species

Species within the genus Talparia include:

gollark: Thus, if you try and make me do things which are "good according to some ethical standard which I claim to roughly agree with" but inconvenience me personally a significant amount, such as veganism, I may just entirely ignore you because "some animals do not like being used to produce milk for me" is part of the "far group" of issues I am not really paying attention to.
gollark: Ignoring things when it's convenient.
gollark: See, us humans have *amazing* abilities when it comes to ignoring things which don't directly affect us.
gollark: Anyway, you could probably make reasonable ethical arguments that I should be vegan instead of vegetarian, but I don't actually care.
gollark: The better argument, I think, is that you can't go around objectively measuring what we "should" do somehow.
