I just tried it out with chat gpt and after me trying to explain the error, the responses got really condescending until I had an idea. I told it to covert the m’s to uppercase and try again.
You should definitely try it out yourself. It was a wild ride.
I miss Noble Roman’s. Real sit-down Noble Roman’s, not the thing they have in gas stations now. It started in Bloomington, Indiana where I grew up, so their flagship store was pretty awesome. It had a window where kids could watch them make the pizza- they did the whole ‘toss the dough in the air’ thing every time- and they had a projector that showed old silent movies and cartoons. Plus, the pizza was really good.
Yeah I respect vegans, and applaud them for their life choices. I’m not in a position to, or willing at this point to become a vegan, but I looked at their community… Mostly insults when referring to any meat eater. Yeah, I respect them a fair bit less now.
in torture, the pain is the point. while i think factory farming is too ambivalent about suffering, i also believe the suffering is only incidental, not intentional. it’s not torture.
perhaps you could explain that subtle difference to the animals going through the system of abuse.
Im sure it would brighten up their days no end to realise the pain they are experiencing is not the point of the system and that therefore, they are not being tortured.
this is just posturing and rhetoric. i have no problem with most forms of exploitation (this is true of most people i think). my problem is unfair, or even non-consensual, exploitation of other people.
Where is the border between acceptable and not acceptable lifestyle? The animals can’t consent. If you beat your wife, is that also an individual lifestyle we have to respect? What if you neglect and beat your pets, for a closer example? What if your individual lifestyle is dumping trash into the ocean?
Luckily we pass laws to regulate unacceptable lifestyles.
Go pass some laws. Instead of trying to be a vegan vigilante, try to organize and show compassion to people. Even if that means being belittled in the process, you’ll have the moral high ground.
Alright. If I were to say something like “You’re a dumbass, and have no room to criticize.” that’d be a personal attack because I’d be making a (metaphorical) attack on your person (character). Hope that helps.
And this is why its impossible to have a conversation with yall. Even if you believe this, if you are hostile to outsiders, you just guarantee theyll want to do it more. Cult deprogrammers have to be real nice and mostly just listen for a reason
depending on how you see things, abuse is part of any system. that said, humans are at least able to be a part of the system and have dialogue with the system. there is potential to effect a system.
this cannot be said for a 4 day old calf being taken away from the mother for slaughter just so the mother can continue to lactate and little fat Jonny can have his full fat on his frosties again.
lastly, it’s hardly insulting to remind people that they pay for disgusting levels of animal abuse.
When you know what occurs in factory farming. Its hard to continue to be nice to others who have the ability to stop supporting the cruel system with their money.
We really dont though. It is simply not realistic to fight for an ethic that requires the overwhelming majority to be hyperrational in their ethics. Human nature tends toward cruelty, and Ive yet to see a vegan have recourse for that.
People are cruel often because of the systems they’re raised in. I could show you many instances where kindness is punished in order to maintain the status quo of hierarchical systems. Humans can be much more ethical if we chose to be.
Plant react to stimuli however they do not have the nervous system to process pain like the way cows and pigs do.
And yet people default to those systems and have since the agricultural revolution.
As for plant stimuli, who are you to say that doesn’t constitute pain? They sure communicate it to those around them, cut grass smell and all that. Does an ant not feel pain because it mostly just responds to and sends out pheromones? Bit of a “my red is your blue” argument you’re making.
By eating plant-based you reduce the amount of plants that are grown for human consumption since you skip the farm animals completely “if you’re so concerned about plants feeling pain”
You wouldn’t kick a person and justify that logic saying “but plants feel pain every time you walk on grass”
I posted this on Mastodon. In case you believe"alpha males" are smart, there is a bodybuilders forum that argued for page after page about how many days there are in a week.
Balding is not related to testosterone, but rather Dihydrogentestosterone (commonly referred to as DHT). Although high testosterone levels often mean high DHT levels as well, it is possible to have high DHT whilst still having low testosterone levels.
The amount of androgen receptors in your scalp is also relevant, some people are just unlucky and have lots of androgen receptors in that area and start balding at a young age despite average DHT levels
I have been trying to make an account on a fediverse instance for so long and it not working each time I made an account. It finally decided to work recently when I made this account
If you plan on switching instances, sh.itjust.works and slrpnk.net are pretty good. I wouldn’t really recommend lemmy.ml or hexbear.net since they’re really not better than lemmy.world.
I honestly don’t understand the big issue with hexbear. They seem to be quite progressive, and I’ve yet to have a bad interaction with anyone from that instance. Maybe I just got lucky though. Anecdotes aren’t data, after all.
Not sure, but I do remember seeing hexbear.net on !meanwhileongrad quite a few times. They seem to have the same moderation problems lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml have.
lemmy.world
