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.

Kinda like we’re at a point of history again where incredibly expensive plate armor on a guy that trained his entire life could be countered by some random farmer with a shitty rifle.

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.

Come on this is not complicated. To imagine electron spin, think of a ball that is rotating. The election is the ball, except it’s not really a ball, and it’s not rotating either.

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

This, also mbin

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

Shock diamonds my beloved

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 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

There is a difference between not doing something that is purely done 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.

Consciousness and conscience are not the same thing, this naming is horrible

If only there was a way to prevent people from getting measles

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?

Ah yes, the well known connection between “let’s have a very high tax bracket for billionaires” and “let’s literally go and murder rich people because I don’t like them lol”, you got me. Oh, and sanctioning criminal behavior with prison = psychopathy, got it.
