Exactly this. I am “in favor” of nuclear energy, but only in the sense that I’d like fossil power to be phased out first, then nuclear. Any money that could be spent on new nuclear power plants is better spent on solar and wind.

Nively played

I understand the sentiment of not wanting to pay much money for clothes you don’t wear much, but SHEIN is an especially bad fast fashion brand with horrible working conditions and sometimes even toxic chemicals in the clothing. Just google SHEIN toxic, you’ll find several sources

No no, that would be absurd. You’ll also be turned away if you are not on the list if you’re unlucky.

I don’t know what baguette is like where you live but I never had that issue.

This, also mbin

That cat looks properly disturbed :(

Holy shit I did not know his connections to right wing politics. And he is incredibly stupid too: According to wikipedia, he says he supports the CDU (christian democratic union, but they are actually non-christian neoliberals) due to having christian in their name. That’s like being a democrat and supporting the DPRK

And what, someone’s account being new means their contributions are somehow worth less? They were not actively trolling or anything

Great, now use it to spread awareness of climate change and how delicious the rich are.

In all seriousness though, if it’s that easy to do for some guy with no experience, several better organized groups (like state sponsored secret services etc) are probably already using it. Scary stuff

It can, if some laws are changed. Which is possible, although the largest video game producers will probably raise hell to not release any control they have.

I once tried to apply for unemployment benefits for a period of 3 months between jobs. I now have a whole folder with all the documents I was sent. My application was, of course, denied.

Another thing I can never unsee :(

I am not expecting every person on earth to stop consuming meat immediately. If some people in Mongolia have some cows and sheep on their farm, sure, that is already so much better than factory farming. Factory farming makes up about 90% percent of worldwide meat production, and that is the main thing people are talking about when discussing meat production. Factory farming is responsible for massive ecological damage due to animal waste, ie their shit and cows farting methane, on top of being extremely cruel. And then there is the overabundance of antibiotics used to keep the animals somewhat healthy (“healthy” is really a stretch here), which helps diseases build immunities to those antibiotics.

As for cost, meat is heavily subsidized (at least where I live), so we are all paying part of the cost for it through taxes. It is not as cheap as you might think when seeing it in a supermarket.

As for stopping exploitation of animals, that will never happen. It’s wishful thinking.

That’s just baseless conjecture, just because you lack the imagination to think of a world without or at the very least way less exploitation does not mean it cannot be achieved. And I’d rather have little exploitation than a lot, it’s not a binary choice between “changing nothing” and “completely removing exploitation, which is impossible, so let’s just do nothing”.

If only, I know so many people who don’t bother with adblocking at all. I honestly have no idea how they use the Internet without going mad

Haha wife bad!!! 🤣🤣🤣😂💯

There is a difference between not doing something that is purely some for enjoyment (eating meat, you can live perfectly fine and be healthy without) and not taking medication. Additionally, vegans want to stop exploiting animals for human benefit, so they are in favor of not doing animal testing anyways.

Only a sith deals in absolutes.

Understandable, the rotational velocidensity wreaked havok on those files.

Of course force may need to be used when people act criminally. In case of tax evasion, that may be seizing the amount owed and/or imprisonment in severe cases.

Say someone steals from a store and the owner demands it back, but the thief says “nu-uh”, what then? Is it morally permissible to use force to get your property back?
