Every time proper left wing policy is offered to Americans, you vote it down. Progressive policy does not fly in the US.

Your country has abandoned you GI, why donate your time and effort to a nation that only takes? Defect GI, migrate to a nation that appreciates your labour. Come to Australia! We have nationalised health care, some of the highest wages in the world, the best electoral system in the world, and Melbourne constantly ranking as one the best cities in the world.

I researched that, maybe it's just in Australia but apparently the bees here don't use those bee hotels? They apparently just get stacked with earwigs. I read the best thing you can do for bees here is plant native flowering plants like the Bottle Brush, and let leaves biodegrade naturally instead of hoovering em up.

Imagining complaining about someone tipping out fresh water, while eating a burger when a single kilo of beef uses between 15,000 to 200,000 liters.

Like, until you stop doing the worst thing a single consumer can do to the planet for literally nothing but greed and pleasure (eating meat instead of healthier alternatives), you have no leg to criticize.

The holocaust was well scaled too. Animal ag is responsible for 15-20% of the entire planets GHG emissions. You can live a healthier, more morally consistent life if you give up meat.

1 beef burger is equivalent in water consumption to 7.5million chatgpt queries.

All the people here chastising LLMs for resource wastage, I swear to god if you aren't vegan...

I AM AN AI SLOP WHORE. I use chatgpt every goddamn DAY. You are all Luddites to me, who scoff at the motor vehicle while your horse stubbornly refuses your commute today. So many of you write "I used it once in 2022 and it was bad so now I Bing everything and spend hours of my precious life wading through the godforsaken modern internet". Not me, I send my AI slave into the fray while enjoying a fine Moscato, from the throne I built (with help from chatGPT on material selection and how to do joinery). If AI is "no good", you are not using it correctly.

I have some music on streaming services, and get a couple of coins every month. If you pirate my music instead, I'll get nothing.

I like Tidal, it pays the artists the most of all services.

The fact people are greedy is not the reason pure socialism/communism fails, there's a multitude of reasons it simply doesn't work well: a lack of market forces upending resource allocation, incentive problems, lack of consumer sovereignty, reduced innovation++

Best system IMO is a fusion model, publically owned industries where it matters (health, education, PT), and private where it doesn't (goods, foods etc).

The "not developed until 25" is a myth. The famous study looking at frontal lobe development had age brackets up to 25 years old, non-scientific people took that to mean "that must be where the brain stops developing".

Later research shows it continuously develops.

If you could voluntarily STOP your taxes going to these wars, you would, right? That's what I'm doing when I stop buying meat, literally stopping the sale of meat.

But hey, good luck with your preaching for mass suicide I guess. I'll keep being based here on earth while you waste yourself.

I'm guessing this is your alt account huh. Because your last one got banned? Still speaking with the same monosyllabic single sentence "no-u" I see.

That's relative privation - appeal to worse problems. It incorrectly assumes that we can or should only care about the current worst suffering and that moral concern is zero sum.

There's very little I can do to end the wars in Ukraine, Gaza, Iran etc. But I am directly funding and maintaining the meat industry every time I buy meat.

Also don't kill yourself, that's cringe. Be based, fight on.

Well that person is literally helping you sleep at night by reducing the planets GHG emissions. You're welcome I guess?

Yeah currently the difference doesn't amount to much because we're still eating livestock, BUT if we stopped eating that livestock, we could return to a more natural Australia where shooting our national animals isn't a requirement.

As I said, you're right, eating roos is definitely better, but your argument is an appeal to futility, "I won't be able to convince everyone to stop eating meat, so I'll continue doing moral failures". You could use that argument to continue all horrible injustices, right? "I won't be able to convince everyone to vote for Labor, so I'll vote Liberal as well".

It's much MUCH easier to convince people to drop meat when you've done it yourself, I've converted 5 of my friends over the course of my 6 years, two of which are from rural NZ.

Hahaha why do people just spout complete bullshit like they know anything.

A Poore and Nemeck 2008 meta-analysis covering 38,000 farms in 119 countries found that food systems contribute 26% of the planets GHG emissions, of which ~57% comes from animal ag. Meaning this study found ~15% of the entire planets GHG comes from animal ag.

Don't forget, 70% of the food we grow is fed directly to farm animals instead of humans.

Stop spewing bullshit and look up the data?

Eating planet based obviously != Virtue signalling unless you publically mention it, so there's that issue solved for you.

But what a lazy and incurious way to live, "I will continue perpetuation moral atrocities while contributing to the destruction of the planet unless daddy government tells me to stop".

Damn and they call vegans "pussies".
