Ergo why I wrote ”realistically”. Realistically most non-vegan people eat factory farmed meat sometime. Any fast food is etc..

we do not keep a crow to the same moral scrutiny as humans because, well, it is a crow.

so I still believe it is interesting!

Sure, but even so it's pretty interesting in my opinion. The amazing difference in how you treat animals depending on if you see them or not. To feel so much love to a crow that gets stuck and want to help it. Meanwhile, realistically, on the other hand she is contributing to a lot of animal suffering because she likes the way it tastes.

For a second there from the name I was really hopeful that iPhone Duo _could_ have been the replacement for my iPhone 13 Mini.

I'm honestly not entirely sure what you're doing.

>He's comparing locals to sheep

Yes, you're right! Romani people to wolves. And locals as sheep. And we should put down the wolves.

>I read the links before I posted. One link specifically says "non-Danes" the other one is talking about Brits and non Brits.

Yes, you're right! Brits and non-brits. Let's scour:

>That was then. Now, I wouldn't dream of it. London is no longer the city I was infatuated with in the late '90s and early 2000s. Chiefly because it's no longer full of native Brits.

There's a hint of what's going on here. Danish person wants to move to London. Gets to London. "gee, I could never migrate here, there are way too few native Brits". It's almost like he considers himself "a native Brit". Buddy just doesn't like colored people.

>"less immigrants please"

By God, is that how you read it? The comparison to animals, that he could not live with people of different ethnicity? And by "ethnicity", this literally means "non-white" people, as he, as a Danish person, wanted to move to London and complains that there are too many foreigners.

This is the AfD-level right-wing, not your casual conservative. Regardless, it's pretty expected that people would not want to support someone who writes this awful kind of similes.

Like I wrote, and what you seem to say again here, I agree that it is unfortunate how tough it is to be an ethical consumer these days.
Re:Advertise in ChatGPT on Wednesday July 22, 2026 @09:33AM (#49006557)
I think the situation you're in affects what you can reasonably do and hence what can be considered "ethical". You cannot opt out of paying taxes (and buying lunch), but it is possible here for me to avoid funding this war and try to seek better alternatives.
Re:Advertise in ChatGPT on Wednesday July 22, 2026 @04:51AM (#49003655)
Ouch. I was not aware. Cancelled.

It's rough that it's so hard to be an ethical consumer these days. Mullvad gone, Kagi gone.

Why is that a bar suddenly, if we cannot be sure that anyone other than yourself is conscious?
Re:Three Inverse Laws of AI on Wednesday May 06, 2026 @04:15AM (#48033637)
ok! I think that's a logical flaw, solipsism is a floor.

"I can't be certain about anyone else" does not imply "all non-self consciousness claims are equally uncertain". absence of certainty and the absence of evidence and all that.

your "possibility" word is doing a lot of work there I think. you should add "rocks" to your list as well and you'd be equally correct, but we're evaluating the candidates here

Re:Three Inverse Laws of AI on Wednesday May 06, 2026 @04:01AM (#48033542)
I think you need to expand what your point is: we know solipsism is a thing. Is it meant as a defense for animal cruelty or...?

Happy to see the love for Marijn. Goat.
Sure, but it's also the best we got.
