  • What's a philosophical (not overtly political) position that you hold?

  • About #3, do you view this as a hard rule? Not the animal part (vegan btw), the "hurting is always wrong" part. There are situation where I've caused harm to someone for the sake of others, their future, or a greater pleasure.

    Also interested in the "not killing you own species" section of #4. I would also kill another animal rather than a human, but for other reasons. What do you think about hurting a member of your own species is uniquely bad?

  • Ownership isn't a scientific concept though. It's a social construct which never depended on permanence.

  • How could you convince a solipsist of that? It seems impossible to disprove the position "I am imagining that anything outside my consciousness is real". Anything you cite as evidence is premised on the conclusion.

  • Yeah, I don't know that it solves much, but it's rather tidy to take the one think we know exists (consciousness) and fit it into a fundamental question (what makes up the universe).

  • Vegan diet massively cuts environmental damage, study shows

    Jump

  • There are high caloric tasty vegan foods available, and when they are not it's usually because they aren't in high demand. How is the onus not on the consumer for picking animal products over those?

    I'm all for vilifying the Animal Agriculture industry, they do some terrible stuff that goes way beyond the harm intrinsic to factory farms. But how exactly would they meet demand without factory farming, a brutally efficient way of producing animal products?

    Governments should cease subsidizing animal products (maybe help their producers transition to other production), subsidize other foods more, and enact many other policy changes besides. But in most places it can be cheap and delicious to be vegan now. I don't see how you get around personal choice being the main driver.

  • There are many problems in the world. Some people like to focus on the ones with the largest impacts, where you can personally do something about it (like veganism). Others like to focus on those where few cause grossly disproportionate harm, as they seem more addressable (like private jets).

    Debating the merits of focusing on one problem over another is interesting, but in my mind the time for it is not when media is being shared that bolsters a cause without coming at the expense of any others. It hurts all movements when people always undermine issues, pointing to another more important from their perspective.

    I highly doubt that most people think you aren't doing enough for the environment. And I don't understand why you'd assume that as the implication of this article.

  • In situations where the harm is caused by the industry's approach, I'd agree. But animal products' harm is pretty inextricable, and its production is caused by consumer demand.

  • We had a good run, thank you everyone

  • Maybe it's a reference to the phenomenon when a word repeated that way isn't noticed, or an earlier meme that uses it?

  • Stuck with Google router. Is port forwarding impossible?

    Jump

  • The app is saying that it can't communicated with the device, and the Wifi is working fine, so It seems to be an app issue rather than a device issue. Do you have any insights?

  • Stuck with Google router. Is port forwarding impossible?

    Jump

  • I've tried factory resetting the router, and have reinstalled the app several times. I think I've gotten, if not to the source, than further down the chain.

    1. Port Management requires cloud services, which is why it redirects me to the place where I can enable that.
    2. However when I try enabling it, it is "Unable to save settings."
    3. I tried to "Restart entire network" which revealed that it is "Unable to communicate with your network at this time."

    And that's the core thing I don't know how to get around. The app can't actually interact with the network. That explains why restarting the network hasn't fixed it in the past. I don't understand how it could be an issue only I have though, since it happens regardless of reinstalling the app.

  • I have the same app version and my account has "Manager" permissions, which seems like it should be enough by the description.

    Are there other types of permission?

  • Is jellyfish vegan?

  • Just because it's always said doesn't mean it isn't sometimes true. Can't you think of examples of views that were fringe but became the moral baseline?

  • The criticism is that he didn't pack the courts, which while strongly going against tradition, he is not prohibited from doing.

  • Received this an a email your thoughts?

  • In my mind Lemmy had succeeded when it has communities for everything that I care about that are large enough to approximate the level of the activity I had on Reddit. Given how niche some of those communities are, that would require it to be one of the more prominent social medias.

    So yeah, there's no need for it to become the next Facebook, but I would like it to become mainstream.
