BDSM is not vegan, then? Can I get an expert’s opinion?

But the reader does not steal, the clear logical conclusion is that piracy isn’t theft if you read the book.

A lot of time is wasted on arguments made in bad faith that have already been debunked ten times over, trying to get through to a reactionary for the 11th time is unlikely to work. Maybe there should be more emphasis on the overarching mechanism of disinformation which you describe, and how it’s intended to stop people from taking any action at all. I feel like this educational approach will be a more friendly for people who are still capable of changing their mind.

99% of conservative arguments on climate boil down to:

Washing your hands is pointless since it only kills 99,9% of bacteria, you should incinerate yourself to remove 100%. Oh, you don’t want to do that? Hypocrite much? Might as well not wash your hands then.

There is no reason to it, pointing out the absurdity and nihilism of this might be more effective.

Thank you for the insight. Yeah, I expected the “cultural” talking points to be pretty similar across the western countries, including Poland, where I live.

The vast majority of pro-meat arguments I hear are based on these conservative ideas mixed with a large dose of protectionism, so any progress tends to be very slow.

But I think here we’ve passed the low point and common sense is slowly gaining ground.

This topic got ridiculously politicized, so hopefully once people get tired of the debate they will be more willing to consider the economic/health/environment/etc. aspects, not just cultural.

Tofu has been unfairly demonized here

Could you give me some more context on this? Is it the usual “phytoestrogen will make you a girl” or agricultural industry propaganda?

I feel like the EU in general has been quite pro-animal agriculture (for example plant-based milk can’t be sold as “milk”), but how is it in Germany specifically?

Yes, e-bikes take more resources to manufacture, especially the battery, but:

While manufacturing an e-bike is more resource intensive than a pushbike, lifetime CO2 emissions of an e-bike can be lower, because a motor is more efficient than human muscles.

If someone has an E-bike, depending on how they use it, it’s possible that it will replace more car trips than a pushbike would. E-bikes also require less physical fitness, which again can increase uptake among people who aren’t as fit or have health problems, for example.

This video is worth a watch: Simon Clark - How bad are electric bikes for the environment?

Expected you to put noodles on her head. Disappointed.

So say we all

The most mindblowing thing to me is that these firms are such a gigantic economic force, they could for example invest in renewable energy or sustainable industries. They could have our future low-carbon world by the balls, like Shell or ExxonMobil do today.

Insurers and banks could divest from their carbon-intensive assets, but they will lobby and look for every loophole to protect themselves from responsibility, while being pulled feet-first into a meatgrinder.

The whinny is coming from inside the stable, as usual.

two kinds of people

There needs to be a messaging app which provides a backdoor for every government that requests it. Every time some dumbass legislator asks for a super-giga-secure-backdoor they promise not to misuse, they should be directed to that app.

Sine nails are missing

That happens sometimes with AM4. For anyone else reading this: just twist/slide parts to break the adhesion. Trying to pry a CPU off sounds like a recipe for disaster.

I meant that jokingly, as in, European Court of Justice is scared of plant-based milk. The way I see it ECJ put in a lot of effort to solve a nonexistent problem, and presented it as “protecting consumers”.

According to EU legislature you can say “coconut milk”, I guess it’s ok since it doesn’t compete with dairy products. However soy/oat/almond m*lk is literally the antichrist and must be defeated.
