Just lazy language use from me here I think.

You assume I’m not?

For sure, all very emotive arguments morally I agree with the sentiment.

My rebuttal was to you ascribing psychopathy to the general public because they eat meat, I expect you’ll see a much lower than average score for empathy across slaughterhouse workers ( and probably more psychopathy as well )

Tbh, it would be interesting to see what happened to meat consumption if we introduced laws mandating abattoir imagery on meat packaging.

I think the psychopathy here comes from the desire to commit this violence, the meat industry abstracts the violence away from the consumer, so I don’t think the argument holds.

Which is to say vegetarianism would be more prevalent if the consumer had to hold the bolt gun themselves ( that and more people would become desensitized to this kind of animal cruelty )

I guess they wanted to only have to cut a hole in a single panel.

Aye, it doesn’t really feel relevant. He was injured as a result of gunfire.

Just keep it in a mason jar or similar, anything airtight

While this is undoubtedly true, I think OPs post misses the point for a more depressing reason, people generally believe what they’re told to believe, thinking about things is hard and most people are exhausted.

I also figured that they meant entangled with some system that can mark change, but change is only possible with a concept of time. So I still don’t follow.

Plenty of dicks here!

This game was great! Managed to run up a huge phone bill with that built in dialup modem back in the early 2000s, I don’t think my parents even knew it had one when they bought the console.

This tbh. The criticism of how the left behaves in aggregate is probably valid.

It’s one of the reasons the left is less politically successful, this kind of excessive ‘call-out’ behaviour tends to cause groups to endlessly divide and fight one another (at least it’s consistent)

The right on the other hand tends to form ranks, far more hypocritical but better for mobilising large groups of people behind a common cause.

Not op ( that guy was being intolerably rude ) but I’m not surprised that ddg is reporting that a vpn app is sending all these requests, the very nature of a VPN app is to capture and proxy all your traffic, so it will end up proxy all the tracking requests on your system. These likely came from a browser ( any site with an Amazon button for example will likely show as an amazing tracking hit )

In short, your VP is likely not selling your data.

I mean, given the current trajectory of software and hardware, they probably could.

I tend to go for ‘you approached me, and this sounds interesting’

Sounds like a drone dropping an energy weapon on a shield users head would do the trick then.

Wouldn’t a UK court only concern itself with the activities of a company operating in the UK? If this company does not operate in the UK I’m surprised it’s got far enough to need overturning

If it’s any consolation (it’s not) it won’t blow up, it’ll just steadily get worse.

Probably ai generated.

But you’ll worry anyway, as your anxiety is a product of your biochemistry, which is governed by deterministic processes.
