they could be making extra money charging for the power but that would be providing an actual service and therefore would never occur to a landlord

Seems more likely that American footballers need protective gear because it is more dangerous just as American school children need kevlar backpacks

tbf there is I guess a non-survival bias here where presumably anyone who would attempt to work with others to self immolate is talked out of it.

best guess is the vpn endpoint is blacklisted by google.com with the requests being ignored instead of serving you with a 403 as some sites might. The other geographic google tlds I assume are operating separate blacklists.

here I am feeling guilty sometimes making a comment halfway through a 200 comment thread before scrolling on to find someone else already made the same joke while this mf making smug comments when they've not even read half the headline.

Meat and dairy demand vastly exceeds the demand for leather and therefore drives the production (raising and killing) of cows so aside from some very niche cases leather is a byproduct which would still be produced regardless of whether anyone actually bought any leather shoes. This person's argument isn't entirely crazy but it also isn't entirely correct since obviously the supplementary income from leather is still having some impact on cattle production.

Dairy is not a byproduct of the existing industry meat industry since different cows are raised for dairy than for meat however meat specifically from dairy cows is a byproduct of the dairy industry. So taking this argument to it's extreme you could eat meat from dairy cows or chicken meat from egg layers and be vegan which obviously is absurd.

I expect this person is in some form of climatarian to freegan pipeline and hasn't been exposed to animal liberation theory so much as environmental concerns.
