Agreed!

Aaaah ok ye now I get it.

I guess ultimately the end process is what’s important, there I agree with you. However, with ethical issues, or matters of principle, you could argue time is of the essence.

For example, if the Western world had taken 30 more years in embracing the importance of LGTBIQ+ rights, we would be now at the same place as the likes of Russia or Saudi Arabia, which is a place we feel good about not being.

So in a way yes, the end result is what matters, but in the meantime it does kinda sucks to live in a society that normalizes something that will undoubtedly be considered morally wrong and unethical in the future

What is an extreme is relative. Are we in an extreme because we don’t tolerate slavery? Is having only one slave less extreme then? In the current context I guess you can see veganism as one end of the spectrum, but calling it an extreme has the connotation that it is an unreasonable position.

We can have meat consumption without the industrialized part, sure. But ethical veganism claims eating animals is wrong, regardless of how you kill them. Just like we now consider slavery to be wrong, regardless of how good the slave is treated.

Some people will take the fast, but hard way. Some people will take the longer/ but easy. If you end up in same destination, it’s a win in the end.

I guess you meant to say fast but easy, or longer but hard, right?

I agree with you. I guess the difference lies in that I would call that laziness. Not knowing how to eat balanced meals (or more precisely, not looking it up), it’s not a matter of it being hard or easy. It’s a matter of simply doing it. All the information is out there and at a level anyone who can read will understand

Plenty of eateries don’t have vegan options

Maybe you are thinking of processed vegan food, like a vegan nugget or hamburger. That is completely unnecessary. beans, lentils, chickpeas, seaweed, grains, rice, vegetables, nuts… those are widely available and enough for a healthy diet.

For the rest I agree, it’s easier to convince an omnivore to go vegetarian than vegan. But that has to do with their will, not with actual physical limitations.

The word easier here is a choice. What is more comfortable is easier, but eating a plant based diet is very easy. It’s cheaper and widely available in most countries. What you mean by easier really refers to more comfortable, not really to there being less physical obstacles

thanks!

Shit I’m old

Ah ye, I can relate the the effects. Thanks

Alright now I wanna know why squinting doesn’t allow to see details but I’m getting one step closer to understanding it. Thanks

Ok It it’s AI generated but I want to know what’s happening at the cognitive level. This is unlike other multistable images I’ve seen before. Can someone explain how this works brain-wise?

Here the man explained his motives:

Any reason to try something something else than VLC?

The ultimate goal of democracy is to allow people to organize themselves and their society in whatever way they see fit. If the enforcement (or lack thereof) of this law is not in strides with national law, I don’t see the problem with this ordinance. It is a way of putting some more social pressure to the habit of smartphone usage in public spaces and the daily life of people in this town. People who don’t follow through suffer literally no consequence, but I bet it will change habits for what the inhabitants of this town think it’s for the better. Let them have this, I say.

Nice one
