Can I ask why you choose to use one of those weird "immutable" distributions in the first place, out of curiosity ?

I did, but so did @[email protected] I'm pretty sure; their point was that LW people are worse than the YC/orange ones, and they're right.

Here is a comprehensive post about this (at an awful community I would ordinarily not link to).

Careful indeed: this is from lesswrong, the biggest band of techbro freaks this side of the orange website; also highly connected to the cultish, insane, sex-pest-filled movement that calls itself "effective altruism". This article may be OK though (the comments, not so much, as usual) - mostly an evidence dump it seems.

You can "preview" channels, meaning you can read stuff but won't be able to access larger videos, nor seek in the smaller videos.

The only alternative is to make an account (and then you apparently have access to an actual web client, don't need to use a phone), which will require a phone number.

It genuinely looks like they think they're on holiday or training or something

Just gently strolling into the line of fire

That makes sense, and I agree. I was initially guessing the origin of the post's title, wouldn't be the word I'd choose either.

Even "genocide" is wrong, mind you; it supposes the eventual destruction of the target group as an objective. Current animal exploitation not only tortures and kills, it also makes sure there's always new victims available. A closer parallel may be slavery.

comparing oppressed people to animals is OK because

Because they're both sentient beings, sharing the planet with us ? creatures capable of feeling ? if you don't need to kill them to survive, you're most definitely killing them for pleasure (indirectly through the "farmers" that bring you your animal products of course). This is not an argument you'll ever win, by the way (despite you trying regularly, and I assumed I'd see you here eventually, it's like catnip at this point to you isn't it ?). Eating animal products when you don't need to is exploitation, period, and is morally wrong.

Why is killing animals when you don't need to to survive somehow morally "better" compared to killing humans ? what the fuck is your criteria for assuming one deserves to live and not the other ?
