  • Why is it wrong?

  • Consent from the owner?

    And what if chattel slavery still existed? Would you be free to rape a black woman if her "owner" said yes?

  • In order to produce 1 steak, a cow has to die.

    In order to produce 1 phone, many different people have to work to produce it, enslaved or not.

    This is the kind of calculation vegans make when deciding how to live ethically. We want to reduce as much animal suffering as possible.

  • Artificial insemination without consent is rape. Natural insemination without consent is rape.

    Cows cannot give consent to humans. No animal can. Hell, even if we discovered another human-like species but couldn't have meaningful communication with them, it'd still be rape.

  • Coyotes are also present in many places in the US, and birds of prey can harm pets too.

    No excuse for eliminating a healthy and necessary species from the ecology. Human ego trumps all

  • Ban lead bullets then. Allows people to keep hunting while preventing more pollution in the wild.

    Plenty of time after that to ban other things.

  • ecologically necessary

    Not if wolves were reintroduced to native levels.

  • Can Cloudflare help prevent this?

  • Kubuntu users rise up!

  • Netflix made a documentary about the European islands that prioritized switching away from oil: Islands of the Future.

    I would say with China's help, a renewable Cuba is entirely possible.

    My only concern is the hazards introduced by hurricanes, which can be compensated for by implementing flush roof-mount solar PV systems (minimizes wind loads), underground electric power lines, subgrade geothermal loops with heat pumps, indoor substations and Battery Electric Storage System (BESS) facilities, and pumped storage hydropower utilizing Cuba's mountain ranges. Wind is probably not a viable technology given that hurricanes can completely cover the island with crazy strong winds.

    Edit: as another commenter pointed out, tidal power would be a good alternative too. The best technology I've seen to utilize tidal is made by Orbital Marine Power based out of Scotland, who basically slaps 2 turbines onto a submarine to collect power. Could have offshore substations that collect that power and send it back to shore.

  • Dripping with irony lmao

  • Cinema

  • Oh when will China start making HDDs and SSDs and GPUs and CPUs

    PLEASE China PLEASE flood the market with cheap, top shelf computer parts that will force Western corporations to lower their prices or go bankrupt when they don't

  • These ultra Leftists will cry for communism but haven't done shit to build it from the ground up. They will criticize Progressives and Dem Socs for organizing while they themselves remain as keyboard warriors.

    I think Lenin made it very clear that we are to operate within the existing societal systems before any revolution is had. That means voting. And as you point out, that also means primary-ing bad Democrats.

  • Never said to ignore elections. Stop with this strawman ultra Leftist bullshit

  • Liberals have no answers for the current political crisis. And instead of caving to that reality and showing some humility, they'll try to rally the troops to "VoTe BlUe nO MaTtEr wHo" as if the Democratic party signifies all good with politics, while Republicans signify all bad.

    A lot of these people don't have the political science education or distrust in the current party to be able to see the Democratic party for what it is: controlled opposition.

    Why do liberals think Bernie Sanders and AOC are leaders in the party that draw so much attention? It's not because of some focus group. It's because of the anti-rich world view both candidates hold.

    Per usual, a Leftist means being right too soon.

  • I hate humans.

  • Glad we've moved on from farming animals to make pianos.

    Still doesn't stop humans raping and pillaging the natural world, of course.

  • That documentary is called: Dive! Living Off America's Waste.

    Here's a trailer for it.

    And here's the full documentary on YouTube.
