  • Why isn't it considered vegan to harvest animals who die naturally?

    Jump

  • If you don't make a moral distinction between humans and other animals, it seems difficult to justify scavenging with any logic that couldn't also be used to justify grave robbing, cannibalism, or even necrophilia.

  • No one thinks that we can vote our way into fully-automated luxury gay space communism except Republicans. What entryists are trying to do is mitigate the harm that fascists can do until a movement with an actually decent philosophy can gain the capacity for enough violence to overthrow the liberal status quo. It isn't like voting takes much time or effort. You can vote when you're already physically exhausted from running around in a plate carrier shooting targets.

  • Rust developer has 'no plans' for Linux or Proton support, says games that support them are 'not serious about anti-cheat'

  • It's been a cash-in on DayZ for what, 13 years now?

  • There are legitimate negative economic consequences to letting large enough businesses fail. Nationalizing them with no compensation to their executives is a better plan than golden parachutes or inaction, and it's easier to do than fully-automated luxury gay space communism.

  • They have the money to be able to change the rules and the lack of morality to be willing to change them.

  • And at least Carnegie built libraries, parks, and schools with some of his plunder. Modern capitalists don't even do that.

  • Well, they just needed a $40b bailout from the US, which is about four months of their total GDP.

  • There are both kindhearted morons and intelligent, wealthy sociopaths.

  • Is the penny not legal tender anymore now that they aren't minting them?

  • Violence is a central tenet of the hard right and has always been.

  • The argument is probably that (A) the only way to say that he participated is to convict him, otherwise he's considered innocent and (B) he didn't participate, he just incited it (using language that was just vague enough to make it difficult to prove).

  • Wood glue won't hurt (though you do have to wait for it to dry), but friction alone is often enough to do a decent job.

  • Otherwise known as a drywall anchor or wall plug. My parents also call them mollies, but those are different (though also often used for screwing things into drywall).

  • BYD undercuts every EV in Australia with the Atto 1, now the cheapest new model

    Jump

  • I wonder if I could import one from Mexico to the US. Australia and Europe are too far away to do it cheaply, but theoretically, couldn't I just drive it into Texas with the proper paperwork?

  • Not responsible

    Jump

  • Yeah, that's the comment I was talking about when I said that I don't consider Platner specifically to necessarily be on the right track. He's said that he regrets his time in the US armed forces, so he may regret his reasons for joining as well, but he hasn't articulated that.

    This your brain on Liberalism. Comparing being a rapist imperialist to guarding your country.

    Oh, come on. They're lashing out at anyone they can, regardless of how involved they are in the genocide. They're out for revenge, not defense. It's understandable, but it isn't some noble cause. They're Islamist fundamentalists. There's a reason it was Hamas that Israel was propping up to stifle more sympathetic groups.

    Is there any evidence that Platner is a rapist? Or are you just assuming that because he's a murderer?

  • Not responsible

    Jump

  • I was very careful not to say that. I chose my words with intention. He has said that he regrets joining the army.

  • Not responsible

    Jump

  • So you have to quit within a specific period of time to be redeemable? We just what, write off anyone who stays too long, no matter how much they regret, apologize, etc.? In Platner's case specifically, I'm not 100% convinced due to a couple of his reddit comments, but Empanada is acting like anyone on the left is completely gung-ho about former US soldiers as long as there were any sympathetic factors in their enlistment, regardless of how they now feel about the US military, which very plainly isn't true.

    And he's ridiculing the concept of giving people a chance to redeem themselves based on current remorse, not just considering that remorse to be redemption on its own (which obviously is ridiculous, but I have yet to see anyone on the left doing that).

    He's also doing the enlightened centrist "can't you see that these things are the same, you utter buffoon?" between someone who did bad things and claims to regret them and someone who is a current war hawk and voted to make BDS illegal.

  • Not responsible

  • No, Empanada has decided that anyone who has ever done a bad thing in the name of US imperialism cannot be redeemed by any means. Not repentance, not working to prevent future injustices, nothing. He's willfully misunderstanding anyone who disagrees with that notion as condoning those bad actions, and he's mischaracterizing any mitigating factors as justifications.

    For example, stupid, poor 18-year-old, barely an adult, joins the military, quickly realizes that it's wildly immoral, and quits? Anyone who brings up their stupidity, poverty, or youth to say that their misdeeds were somewhat understandable is saying that they bear no responsibility and killing brown people is good actually, and anyone who thinks that that person might be a good person decades later is similarly supporting imperialism.

    It's just a maximalist inversion of the neocons who believe that anyone joining Hamas is irredeemable even if their family was just mutilated by the IDF. I think he also supported Trump in the 2024 election because even though Trump was going to hurt Palestinians more than Harris, he was going to hurt Americans way more than Harris, and Empanada would rather see the suffering returned than mitigated.

  • I wish the Steam Controller used AA batteries

    Jump

  • Why? The price you're actually going to pay is what matters. Though even if you insist on MSRP for some reason, the DualSense is $75 and the Xbox controller is $65, and you can get these for $25 MSRP ($18 actual) for two, making the Xbox controller barely more expensive if you have an even number of them.

    If you compare the prices today, the Xbox controller is $50 compared to its $65 MSRP and the DualSense is $74 with a $75 MSRP, so you can get two battery packs and a controller and still pay $68, $6 less.
