What if they close their eyes! Checkmate atheist.

One of the funniest memories from when I was travelling (around 2017) was many tourists holding up their giant tablet devices, fumbling with them to try take photos of things.
You really went looking for something to hate on there didn't you. That is the only sentence in the whole article that even mentions power consumption, all the other arguments both fit and against are for a variety of other topics.
It seems to be that you are more likely caught up in some kind of movement if one argument from one person is enough for you to label everyone there luddites
SNOW!!!!!
I've been vegetarian my whole life and vegan for ~4 years or so, and I would definitely eat lab grown meat (assuming the conditions you stated).
I almost certainly wouldn't eat it often but there is sooo many cultural dishes I haven't ever tried due to them containing meat, which I would love to try sometime.
Admittedly I expect that most things I would not end up liking, but the ability to try would be really nice.
Why is $20 even in consideration with the not needing sleep pill. Hell I'd probably choose the not need sleep pill over $20 million. It's effectivity massively increasing your lifespan, but without making you outlive everyone you know
Advise sons too. If marriage is going to be weaponised then it should be denormalised.
Isn't doing things to avoid boredom exactly what a hobby is? :D would you consider hiking to be a hobby?
What do you mean by strange and mean?
The way I see it is that Signal's primary ""mission"" is to provide secure, private communication. Chat control presumably would mean they could not fulfill their mission, so they should rather pull out.
For Duolingo, their mission to provide easy access language learning is not directly impacted by the rules in Russia. Even if all the employees are against the rules in Russia, Duolingo can still provide language learning in Russia, which they might see as a worthwhile endeavour.
After all, afaik Duolingo being available is not actually beneficial for the Russian government, as it's another way for money to leave Russia ( ? I think), and makes it easier for Russians to get a wider worldview.
I'm not gonna go claiming that the Eragon books deserve a prize, but I loved them as a kid, and comparing them as equals to that movie is bordering on insanity.
Fake nails. I have nothing against people who wear them, but for some reason it just instantly makes me think we are not compatible at all.
I'm gonna mention "How to train your dragon". I actually preferred the books, but they are very different and I know many people who much prefer the movie.
The Dark Knight to F1
But again it wasn't the team, and it wasn't " throwing shade" it was one guy, who listed it as one reason against AI. Power consumption is also a valid reason against using gentoo. People are able, and indeed should be aware of potential problems and downside of things, even if they are involved in other things which also has those issues. I am sure most of the gentoo team would readily acknowledge that energy consumption is a downside of gentoo compared to other distros.
It only requires consistent indentation inside blocks, which is what any good code does anyway for readability. So the main difference then is just that you no longer need the redundant curly braces.
Calling a group of people condescending, then accusing them of having limited brain function is a little hypocritical doncha think?
You could say this about anything though. A serial killer isn't taking lives, merely shortening them. Suicide isn't ending a life it's just shortening one. Literally all death can be seen as merely the shortening of an otherwise longer life, which makes your distinction pointless.
I always read his name as Bankman-fraud
I would be so curious to see what the player counts of different games were during the 24 hours. Sometimes it feels like there are almost no women playing games, because they (understandably) never use mic
I respect your viewpoint, but I wanted to point out that I think the argument of "animals do X, therefore it's ok" isn't a really good one, imo. In fact I think one of the features of being human is being able to rise above what other animals do, when we think it is a good idea. (Whether it's a good idea here though, is another topic)
Weet-bix. Australia
But I mean, that's literally what their ideas are, how else should they promote them? Are you mad that they aren't just pretending that meat is good, for the benefit of the listeners?
I'm vegan, and agree with you 100%
Public forums serve a different purpose to a live chat. Actually what I'm seeing a lot in the comments is people making assumptions about what the purpose of the discord server is, and from those assumptions then conclude that it would be easy to use something else. Some assume that they use it for documentation (???), some assume it's for technical support. But usually what I see, is that these kinds of servers are just an attempt to build a community. And for building a community in the tech space, discord has by far the biggest user base for a chat solution (unless you really think there are more target audience using Facebook messenger, than discord?)
There is no need to eat any animal and yet as a society we seem to have no problem with mass meat industry. Now, I don't disagree that there is hypocrisy in saying there is a focus on welfare, but I also feel some hypocrisy in there being outrage on some particular animals being eaten while other animals being eaten is fine.
Well look who's being brutal now
How is the language extreme? For something to "cost lives" means exactly for those lives to be cut short, there is no other meaningful definition. The language used is exactly as extreme as the scenario it describes, by definition.
Do you apply your same logic to other scenarios too? Like would rather that "the tsunami cost the lives of 55 people" be reworded as "the tsunami shortened the lives of 55 people"?
You're of course free to watch whatever you like, but it seems to be that if you are going to boycott anything which involves someone who happens to be an asshole, then there isn't going to be anything left for you to enjoy.
This seems incredibly adult to me 😅
From twitter or like, from the human species?
Ah ok. I was thinking of specific instances rather than an indefinitely long situation, so I see where you are coming from now.
The Road is perhaps my favourite novel I've read. Absolutely haunting
I think the talking down aspect comes from phrases like "you shouldn't be doing X", especially when these statements are made as absolutes, rather than contextualised with actual reasons.
Running GUI programs as root might cause security problems, or it might cause software problems. And while you might find these issues important, others might not.
In my opinion, saying something like "it's not a good idea if you care about security" or "doing so might make your PC burst into flames" gives helpful warnings for OP and future readers without talking down to them by making decisions for them what they should and should not do.
Sometimes people want to be generally helped, and sometimes people just want an answer to their question. If the answer is "it's impossible" then that's a valid answer, but if the answer is "I'm not going to tell you, instead I'm going to assume that what you actually want is me to teach you why you were wrong to ask the question in the first place" then theres a good chance that actually they just wanted an answer, and you deciding for them what they need comes across as patronising.
I think part of the issue is people tend to conflate "does something immoral/less moral than an alternative" and "is a bad person".
I think most meat eaters would acknowledge that meat is inherently worse for the environment, and also less moral due to more animal suffering, than not eating meat. Doing so does not make them bad people, just like owning an iPhone doesn't make someone a bad person, etc. And yet when the topic of "meat is immoral " comes up, people very quickly seem to think it is an accusation of them being a bad person?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but it sounds like you are trying to say that kidnap and rape are magnitudes more horrible than being horribly murdered?
That's probably why he's doing it, so you and all the others who blocked him are forced to see his posts again.
If it's the SpongeBob squarepants theme then it's ok. In fact that's a bonus.
Not to detect from your final point, but I'm quite sure the point of this super dumb religious meme is the symbolic weight of the cross.
