i know but there is definitely a double entendre in there.

guilt-framed

someone needs to do a new downfall re-sub

eating meat doesn’t cause people in the meat industry to do anything. they get to choose what they do.

if I died today there is no reason for me to believe any industry would get smaller as a result, and I would of course stop purchasing everything.

there are more vegans now more than ever, and more meat produced. being vegan doesn’t decrease the size of the industry.

whether I do or not, the industry continues to grow.

obviously we disagree. i hold them accountable for their actions regardless.

this is storytelling, not evidence. if we can’t agree that meat producers have free will, and i am only responsible for my own actions, we have a fundamental disagreement that won’t be resolved on lemmy. but ask yourself: at what point do meat producers become responsible for tehir own actions?

meat producers are responsible for their own actions. no one else causes them.

i have considered it, and its epistemic issues make it impractical as a basis of deciding correct actions.

I’m not a utilitarian. most people aren’t

great.

the same people trying to kill section 230

just because it’s free doesn’t mean it’s worthless, and charging for content doesn’t make it valuable

nobody is going to want to create new content when they get paid nothing or almost nothing for doing so.

that’s a lie

pearl clutching

my mistake. carry on.

people are giving you way too much grief about other things, but you are most definitely monetizing the site.

wanna fite?

what i’m reading is that being joining the military as a trans person is a hack to get medical care. that’s universally true; a lot of poor people have considered joining the military for healthcare (and other) benefits.

but queerness is axiomatically incompatible with the US military.

it sux, for ppl who were counting on it, that the option is gone. i’m sympathetic. but, like, fuck the pentagon.

queerness should preclude military service for the hegemonic empire. if the USA were kurdistan, i’d consider a nuanced view. since we live under pax americana (whatever that’s worth), no one who is queer should be anywhere near it’s military.
