The technology needed to inhabit Mars would 100% benefit the life on earth. Just lookup all the tech we got from the Apollo missions.

You can’t do that with personal information like the ones doctors needs transcribed. It has to be local.

I instinctively closed your comment after reading “short attention span” because I knew what you were going to say. Had to go back to comment because I realise the irony.

I agree with your arguments. We’re on the same side of all of this.

I disagree on having to remove one if both are bad. It would be like the trolley problem. 10 people suffer repeatedly indefinitely vs infinitely many suffering eventually. Moving all use to sugar cane will be worse for the environment than spreading some honey and some sugar cane. See my previous monocultulturalism point.

Personally I think honey vs sugar cane is equal, so for me the choice is bad either way. I don’t know which is worse, I try to use less, but what I use I feel is ambivalent, so I use both.

I am not vegan, but simply trying to understand how honey is bad, but as you say “unavoidable collateral damage of agriculture” or not.

There are many ways agriculture could be less harm, less pesticides, less monotone growing practices, more spread out growing. We do not have to accept these practices to not starve.

I don’t think honey collecting is worse than agriculture (even of direct plants for human consumption), so I don’t think vegans should discount honey.

Do you avoid all sugar products, or just honey?

Sugar growing also kills animals. You cannot avoid all harm, so why discount honey for the harm you know, but not discounting harm from growing sugar?

Reducing harm, sure, but it seems selective to discount honey for small amount of harm, when other things you (assumed) eat do equal (potentially unknown to you) harm.

Do you need to know every process of growing/transporting something to eat it? Or does you list of edible products shrink as you learn every new form of harm?

(Strawman)

Killing a few bees when collecting honey

Vs

Killing a lot of insects and rodents when plowing/tilling land to grow sugarcane/corn(sirup).

Why discount one but not the other if they are equal?

I came here for rpg, not :.|:;

Oh yeah. I thought you meant how they are used culturally. Because we have many nok-berries with berry in their name.

Berries, insects

Damn autocorrect striking again.

Yes. Lookup raads-r autism test. It’s almost as good as a psychiatrist at diagnosing. If you score high there, chances are high a psychiatrist would as well.

I don’t get angry, just anxious. I AM that ball of sadness and stress.

“risk a fire from staying the line with a high load”, wouldn’t the fuse in the line you plug it into simply open if you over load it?

Looking for an invite. Will forward to 10 others in this post if it will allow me

What about staying at 0? Why is debt better than no debt AND no surplus?

To add to this. The sensory experience of showers is a lot.

1. being comfortable in your warm clothes
2. having to take them off to get cold
3. having to get wet and warm
4. having to dry yourself with a rough (ish) towel
5. Getting cold again
6. Damp air makes it harder to breathe
7. Putting on different clothes which potentially feels different from the used ones
8. Getting out of the bathroom to non-humid air
9. Coldness of the remaining water (hair etc) evaporating

I also have sound sensitivities, so the sound of water hitting the floor is also disturbing.

Blåhaj here I come!

Shouldn’t it be the other way? The gender staying a girl under boy conditions, until given a shock to then become a boy?

If you go from girl to boy without changing temperature, you are moving horizontally from right to left, crossing the boundary from girl to boy, but without nucliation sites the transition does not occur.

Same with water going left stays water until given a shock to become ice by changing temperature to be supercooled past the transition line.

While I don’t want to support weapons, blaming people that bought the vr headset in the past for what he would do with the money after the sale is a very bad take. You can’t blame them for not knowing the future.

Also the argument itself doesn’t make much sense and can be strawmaned to “you pay taxes, therefore you are a complicit in the murders of your military, therefore you are a bad person”.
