i am more than willing to engage on any positive claim you want to make (i probably agree with a lot of them). what i’m not willing to do is tolerate personal attacks and dogpiling.

  • I used to. now I don't want anyone to contradict me. I know I'm right, so if you argue with me you're either stating a falsehood or falling prey to bad reasoning.

  • i'm suspicious of your last three claims. the first and third one uncritically cite poore-nemecek 2018, which indicates they either don't understand the issues with that methodology, or they don't care (since it makes their "research" sound more impactful). the oxford study i have read in full, and it only addresses retail costs of food, making no mention of people who receive subsidized food, free food from poverty programs, or people who raise their own food, or hunt or trap or fish for it. basically, it excludes anyone who is actually poor.

  • voting isn't harm reduction

  • that has nothing to do with child suffering. and going vegan doesn't stop dairy production anyway.

  • i have to admit i was baiting you because i knew psychopathy isn't a diagnosable condition in (ok, now just as far as i know) any version of the DSM. but then i read the wikipedia entry on psychopathy.

    it turns out, even though it's not diagnosable as such, there are evaluation criteria for it so it sort of sits in this weird middleground.

    anyway, i think we should just treat people as people and not like a diagnosis. i don't want people to treat me like "depressed commie" or "anxious commie" (not conditions i have diagnosed, just using examples). i want to be treated as a whole person. writing off people who hit certain evaluation criteria as "just a psychopath" is pretty shitty.

  • I squirrel money away with PayPal.

  • local boyscout camps are good options too. usually have self-sufficient plumbing of some kind, mess halls, etc.

  • ends justifying means is pretty well known to lead to bad means.

  • how does the dsm define psychopathy

  • the eating isn't a problem. the problems are all in the production.

  • many people will continue to eat meat despite claiming things like they care for the environment

    eating meat doesn't impact the environment.

  • if you're planting crops, sure. if you're grazing grasslands, the story changes, and that's most of what agricultural lands used for animals are.

  • I didn't believe you. can you present evidence?

  • laws disproportionately are used to punish already marginalized groups for the benefit of the powerful.

    nothing should be illegal. abolish all law

  • using land to make food is good, actually.

  • first, this relies on poore nemecek 2018, which used poor methodology, so you shouldn't believe the study you cited.

    but beyond that, much of that farmland is grazing land. that's not 80% of agriculture, it's 80% of agricultural land.

  • idk. I just write scripts for myself. I keep meaning to get trained on git though
