Don’t you remember the turning point of the 2002 Hartford kidnapping that turned the US society from a tolerant and inclusive society to a racist and violent hell?

Can you really picture a cop physically intervening, being pushed aside, and saying “sorry, my bad”?

I mean, if the other guys scare them…

the nation they dedicated their lives to protecting just burns down around us.

The US hasn’t needed protection from anything in a long time. What they’ve been protecting is the US’ economic interests, spending trillions on armaments to attack those who can’t defend themselves while people back home die of curable illnesses. They’re not your paladins, they’re the enforcers of your ruling class.

Just adapt a normal mechanical, flywheel press. They work quite fast, great output.

My WH-XB910N’s microphone isn’t enabled on Windows for some reason, it works perfectly with anything else

The American air traffic system has a rather egalitarian design

Disgusting. Unacceptable. They ought to work on that.

The old internet is dead, the new one struggles to be born. Now is the time of enshittification.

Eh, a striking dash of sincerity from him

Lol I think we’d need a whole discussion on philosophy and psychology to correctly address these points, and I doubt either of us is qualified enough.

Projecting human morality on animals is… Funny, as our higher empathy is essentially a social animal’s trait that helps its group survive. Extending it to the whole universe is surely possible but who are we to say whether it’s correct or not? We can only evaluate measurable effects, such as those on our ecosystem.

Regardless, I never wanted to start a discussion on veganism, I don’t approve of current farming methods anyway, just pointing out that your definition of normal was wrong.

Well I fully agree that virtually all modern animal farming is cruel and should be reformed, yet I don’t think Veganism is the only answer.
And of course Vegans shouting “YOU! Stop eating meat NOW, you monster!”, only manages to make people LESS likely to do that.

We live in a world where there are animals that take the place of other animals’ tongue; where insects farm other insects; where parasites live in the skin of animals and different animals eat them, forming a symbiotic relationship; where predators often kill for fun.

Normal is the right word.
