Manual labor I'll give you, but there is nothing wrong with pets. A good owner is giving their pet a better life than they would have otherwise. Nothing unethical about it. Bad owners have always been unethical.

Personal experience, its about right. I have a 65 inch 4K in a small living room. I'm usually sitting between 6 and 8 feet away. Parents have a 55 inch 4K about the same distance away. You can definitely see the 4K details more with my setup.

This is why I wish everyone would agree 8K is a waste to pursue. Especially for gaming. You have to generate twice the pixels for negligible effect. Even 4K can be a waste if you have a screen too small for your viewing distance.

no, i described the logistic argument for relative morality of meat consumption. you know where your chicken comes from. if you get dog meat, you almost certainly don't, even in countries where there is a non-zero chance it was produced in a manner ethically equivalently to meat production here.

My meat comes from the freezer or butcher. I have no idea where it comes from. Unless you work in the industry, I doubt you do either. If I see dog on a menu, I am going to assume it wasn't someone's stolen pet just like I do every other kind of meat on the menu. Dogs could be raised for meat just as easily as other animals. Not sure why you are suggesting otherwise.

for steak? i'd be curious what they're doing, i'm unaware of anything on the market that actually attempts to imitate steak. the protein fiber aligning for steak texture is much much harder than ground beef.

Yup. I have no idea what black magic they do or who they sold their soul to, but it is delicious.

i get the message you have here: the arguments against eating the animals we hold sacred can be applied to those we don't

my response is quite simply: not as effectively.

It is just as effective. You said its wrong to steal pets to eat meat, which was a point literally no one made. This isn't even exclusive to dogs. You invented a position to support your claim.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

We agree on most points. The only point I am pushing back on is the "we have always done it this way" regarding pigs specifically. The argument itself could be applied in a myriad of ways though, and I agree there are bigger problems that need more nuanced answers than how we treat pigs specifically.

morally, there is: when you eat dog meat, there's a much higher chance that it was a stolen pet than when you eat pig meat. the industrial meat farming process is cruel, but we largely tolerate it. i think most folks understand that stealing someone's pet and eating it is fucking wrong, though.

*eyeroll*

Sorry I forgot to put the disclaimer "all things being equal". There are plenty of places worldwide in which dog meat is raised just as ethically as pig meat in the US. Pretty sure people knew what I was talking about and I'm not advocating for stealing pets.

Again, I don't care about the morality either.

A lot of vegans are vegan for moral reasons. By ignoring the point, you are arguing completely different things.

Dogs still provide significant companion based roles beyond "feeding." that are useful in day to day life.

Pigs have many uses outside of being a food source.

Gladius_ posted...

It's not so much that the studies are up in the air it's also dependent on individuals. Some people can't take vitamins or the same amount of vitamins as someone else. Some people's stomach or body, for whatever reason, rejects vitamin supplements. So not everyone can 100% remove meat from their diet while getting the right amount of vitamins or nutrients. This is why every article that talks about removing meat from your diet, in their vitamin/nutrient supplement section, tell you to speak with your doctor.

This is a moot point. No one claimed everyone should completely remove meat from their diet. There are dietary restrictions of every kind for medical purposes. Some people can't eat meat for health reasons. Every article suggesting significant changes to your diet always put in the disclaimer you need to consult a health official.

Also answered, because of nutritional value. As mentioned, studies are inconclusive if switching to non-meat alternatives are beneficial to our long term health. We as a species are designed to require a very wide nutritional value.

Not answered. You can 100% of the nutrients you require from vegan/vegetarian sources. You cited long-term studies saying it had detrimental health effects then backed it off to long-term studies being up in the air.

Gladius_ posted...

Eating dogs isn't going to suddenly improve our lives so it isn't one of those examples.

No one is advocating we add dogs to the menu. People are saying since we shouldn't be eating other sentient creatures. Morally there is no difference between eating a dog or a pig. "Because it has always been this way" is why we have done so in the past, but it isn't a moral justification to continue to do so.

There's also the fact that without meat in your diet you must jump through hoops in order to hit our right value when it comes to having the proper vitamins/nutrients. Even then there's studies showing that may not be enough in the long run. We are omnivores that are designed to function with a wide dietary range. Meat is a necessary evil for our development.

I won't speak to the long-term studies, but on a daily basis this is largely an overblown issue. It is relatively easy to get all the nutrients you need even from vegetarian/vegan diets.

Gladius_ posted...

History matters in all context and by ignoring history we are doomed to repeat it. There are many things we do or don't do because of the ramifications they have had on history or how it's happened via historical circumstance. The history of things is probably the most important basis for societal changes as well as rules.

And it isn't always a good thing. There are plenty of negative examples of society not changing for the better because "we have always done it this way".

i actually ate dog meat once, didn't like it.
honestly didn't understand why people eat it when chicken, cow, pig, and goat meats are easily available.

Dog meat was popularized in places where that wasnt true. It became part of the culture in some places.

pikachupwnage posted...

We literally bred dogs for millenia to be workers/companions who love us. Dogs as a whole have a ton of traits that are utterly useless to them without the presence of humans.

Modern pigs are the result of millenia of breeding them to be food.

You dont want to eat dogs. Thats fine. But your rationale for eating pigs is we have always done so. Thats usually the worst argument you can make in many scenarios. Just because it is something people have done a long time does not make it right or moral.

It's one of those games that initially sucks, but for whatever reason you keep playing it, and at some point (and you'll have no idea why or when this happens) you'll be absolutely fucking hooked on the gameplay loop and sneaking in runs whenever you can. You'll be getting runs in on the toilet at work, while you have breakfast, on the train, before you're going out places, literally whenever you can.

It's also one of those games that you don't play for the plot but nevertheless you start to get invested in the plot and it sucks you in.

The entire thing is mastercrafted. Also it's almost like it was designed for the switch.

Wow, almost exact same experience for me. Heard the hype and gave it a try. Thought it was fine at first, then next thing I knew it was the only game I had played for several weeks.

The movie stated that the celestials existed before the big bang, and are the same ones we saw. For beings so old, Thanos delaying it by a few thousand years was probably about equal to adding a couple of seconds to a bomb's timer.

Also, like mentioned above, the aftermath of war created prosperity. That was basically Thanos' entire motive. The celestials we're probably totally fine with delaying it a few seconds to speed it up in the long run. Like a movie where they cut the wrong wire, and timer stops, then restarts even faster.

Again, on Earth, this isn't what happened. First snap delayed it, second snap bringing back half the population sped it up. Unless they knew the second snap was coming, they probably should have done something about it. I guess this also assumes they knew the first snap was coming. It may have caught them by surprise. Eternals seemed pretty focused on their one planet. May not have been keeping an eye on galactic level threats.

Your point on their timeline is valid though. When they are operating on timelines of millions of years, probably don't care if some emergences get delayed by a few thousand years (if it even would have been that long).

It did on Earth. Ajak mentions that the snap delayed the emergence.

Thanos is a deviant. That is the bigger issue with why they didn't interfere. I guess MCU isn't defining deviant the same way as the comics.

I'm a business reporter in an area with a huge agricultural industry, and I can tell you that farmers absolutely do work year round. It's not really sustainable for most farmers to only participate in a single grow season, so nearly all of them are participating in summer and spring grow seasons.

The last harvest month around here is usually September for cotton depending on the rains we get in a given year, but from then until March-ish I believe they're still working incredibly hard even without having seed in the ground. The land requires a ton of work to ensure the soil stays healthy, and farmers are constantly keeping up with new science and education to ensure that future crops are healthier and more bountiful.

Not to mention that many farmers are also ranchers, even if on a small scale, and livestock require a massive amount of attention and care.

My grandpa farmed and he didnt work on the farm year-round. He retired from farming in 2010. He did do some other things in his off-season, but the farm was the bread winner. Farmers definitely have the option to work year-round if they want. Ill defer to your expertise. My point is that there are still seasonal jobs that can support people if they are willing to sacrifice their earning potential.

This comic is dumb af. Labor is not the only thing that goes into making a product. Not saying labor is fairly compensated, it isnt a vast majority of the time, but this comic is disingenuous.

If you value your free time more than your earning potential, you are free to choose careers that earn less and work less. Off the top of my head teachers, farmers, and lumberjacks can all make a self-sustainable wage while not working year-round. Youll need to also live in a more rural area where your dollar goes further, but it is doable.

That being said, I agree with the premise that the average worker is overworked and underpaid. I also dont like the cultures that glorify working extra all the time. I value my work-life balance. I dont think the Middle Ages can really tell us anything though. A straight comparison or work hours or leisure time is far from equal.

It won't be on Sony's (or Nintendo's) consoles unless they add web browsers or want to play ball with gamepass. Not sure how many more times MS needs to repeat themselves.

masterpug53 posted...

The PS3 version of Skyrim was so plagued with technical issues that it's likely Bethesda spent way too much time keeping it chugging that could've instead been spent on polishing / expanding the DLC; Then both Fallout 4 and Skyrim SE got their console mod potential absolutely hamstrung by Sony compared to MS.

I think this gets overrated some. I played 200+ hours on the PS3 version and never ran into anything gamebreaking. Not saying others didn't or there were no gamebreaking bugs, but this notion that it was unplayable is laughable. Yes, there were plenty of random minor bugs and some crashes, but every Bethesda game has those.

I called early in the morning when my appointment was late Monday afternoon. Shouldn't be too hard to find someone willing to take the empty slot.

Trumble posted...

It's anywhere from 48 to 96 hours depending on the exact timing of the call and the appointment. It's plenty of notice.

Real-time hours isnt the problem. If you called Tuesday about a Friday appointment it probably wouldve been fine. Friday to Monday is one business day. Most places stipulate X business days in advance for cancellation. Its a policy you agree to when booking the appointment. Requiring more than one business day heads up is more than reasonable.

A few weeks ago I had a dentist appointment on a Monday. However, I was very ill on Friday and called them to reschedule my appointment for another date. They told me I had to give at least 48 hours notice or I would be billed. I ended up going but was annoyed that I gave them plenty of notice and they still weren't satisfied. Some places have bad policy. Do you really want sick people coming in when they could possibly have covid?

Calling on Friday about a Monday appointment is not plenty of notice.

Its kinda true, but its more a self-fulfilling prophecy. Are coworkers the only people you spend any social time with? Then of course work is your only source of social interaction. There is plenty of time in the day/week to socialize with people outside of work if you want to. Its harder, but certainly not impossible, after college.

That being said, I have no problem dating coworkers. As long as you are both adults, its fine.
