/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

    90% of users don't even know how to make an em dash --- hence, llm indicator.

  • But in that case, the Constitution is irrelevant. It would be impossible even if there wasn't a 5th amendment.

    All that matters is who is in charge of the heights of political power, the law is a fiction they use to legitimize their authority.

    Jump

  • It's bourgeoisifying. If there can be said to be a "middle class" it's workers that own properties and shares.

    That doesn't make it "bad" because class relations aren't moral, but it does muddy our class interests. After all, once a worker is invested in the market, they gain an interest in the market's performance and in the success of their class enemies.

  • An adult would probably be okay if they only drank from a single human too, at least, depending on the human.

    There's just no sustainable or practical way for every single adult to have their own milker, regardless of species.

  • Should Lemmygrad disable downvotes and upvotes?

    Jump

  • Votes increase engagement.

    Imagine you make a really good post, but there's nothing to really add to it. If there weren't votes, it would look like that post wasn't even seen by anyone because no one responded. This would discourage posters and effectively kill the forum.

    I can see an argument for removing downvotes, but removing votes entirely would be a huge mistake.

  • But it's not possible to just get a job that pays more? People are stuck with the jobs they have in most cases.

    But anyone can stop eating meat whenever they want. The comparison is nonsensical.

    What would be more fair is to compare it to saying "It's possible to save money by not spending it on luxuries, so people who can't afford to pay rent should stop spending money on luxuries." I'm also not even saying that. People deserve luxury, bread and roses, etc. I'm only saying that meat should be acknowledged as a luxury, to properly frame it in the discussion.

  • And so it's kind of silly to say that Dems turned to the right because of 9/11, when the only president we have to base that off of was Clinton. The same president that oversaw right-wing welfare reforms and crime reforms and helped NATO bomb several countries.

  • If plant protein is cheaper then meat doesn't need to be a staple, you can make high protein meal plans and diets without any meat while also saving money. Therefore, it's a luxury. People eat meat because it's tasty and familiar, not because it's necessary.

  • What question can I ask ChatGPT, right now, that will reliably produce a factually incorrect, wrong, or false answer?

  • It gets medical questions wrong 15% of the time.

    The problem with your question is that there's never going to be a question it gets wrong every time, because it's probabilistic. You might as well ask "what question can I ask my dice that will reliably produce a wrong answer?"

  • No, people tune out vegans because they want their treats. Meat is a luxury, and suffering people crave luxury, and so anyone who correctly observes "your luxury is soaked with blood" is going to make enemies. We have so few luxuries under capitalism that people will defend their treats to the death, there's no way to actually convince people to give up meat. I sympathize.

    But I'm not going to coddle their commodity fetishism, either. You can’t exist under modern capitalism without having some blood on your hands, but some commodities are more blood soaked than others. They should at least understand what they're eating and think about the system of exploitation they're engaged with.

    Besides, giving up the most exploitative commodities is just good sense. I'm certainly not going to demand every cadre be a perfect vegan, it certainly isn't the primary contradiction, but if a discussion about meat comes up I'm going to be honest.

    That doesn't touch the underlying and inescapable fact: industrial meat is impossible without hurting and killing workers. Any fully socialist society will move away from meat simply for the fact that the logistics of making it safe make it unsuitable for mass production. We would either ration meat severely so no worker had to mutilate their mind and body to harvest meat for billions of people, or we'd need fully-automated slaughter and meat processing facilities. The simple logistics of meat are a problem when we consider the workers behind it.

    That's why I stopped eating meat, because I know I'll have to give it up eventually anyway. Why not start now? It's easy.

  • You impose your beliefs onto the people that are forced to kill your meat for you. The only way for meat to be a readily available commodity in a world of billions of consumers requires working conditions that lead to early death in slaughterhouses and meat packing plants. Eating meat is social murder.

    I really don't care if someone hunts or traps, but if you buy meat at the store there's human blood in your mouth.
