Peter Singer: "Considering animals as commodities seems completely wrong to me"

Sorry, I was busy only thinking about animal rights all day and shitting on marginalized people. Only have time to care about one at a time, you see.

You already have "enough" to be justifiably worried, for your situation to matter, and for something to need to be done about it. Nobody is calling that into question.

It's like you're intentionally being dense, lol. Like I said, you're unable to comprehend the idea that people can care about both things, and you want to pretend I don't care or think about one, because of the other. I imagine because it lets you be mad at me, and being mad is fun. I think I'm done.

When you're actively being physically tortured?

But given the nature of subjective experience and the cognitive differences between humans and animals, it's not a great idea, again, to say one outweighs the other at any particular X point. They're both terrible.

Elon Musk, after losing billions in days, tries to humanize & soften his tone.
 in  r/PublicFreakout  1d ago

It's not just that he did a Nazi salute. It's that his response to people asking him about it was to go on Twitter and say "I did Nazi that coming!". Literally. That's what he actually did.

If you're not a Nazi, when someone accuses of you sieg heiling, you say "hell no I'm not a Nazi". Very telling Musk didn't make that choice.

Best of luck with this, but I gotta admit putting huge in quotes makes it seem very questionable lol, like "real" meat

I said you, right now, are not suffering as much as an animal in a factory farming concentration camp. I can hold that, and also hold that the suffering of humans and animals shouldn't see one or the other ignored for 'outweighing' the other. I don't see the problem.

That didn't answer my question. There are many things that are done intentionally and / or normalized, that doesn't in itself serve as a moral justification for doing those things.

What if, for example, a culture believed the gods wanted torture, and bred an animal specifically for torturing them all day? Obviously you'd have a problem with that - but why? It's the purpose it was bred for.

[invincible] why does nobody in the Guardians think it's wierd that Rudy took the name and body of Rex?

I just rewatched the clip and no, he specifically says he's changing his name from Rudy to Rex

It's true that they don't like go up and slap him on the back, but you see Amanda smile at it and the music clearly indicates it's supposed to be a touching moment.

Especially given your framing of one "outweighing" the other, I don't want to get into this line of conversation, as you've made it clear with the other person you're unable to comprehend the idea that people can care about two different bad things happening at once.

I have a sneaking suspicion you're using the word "enough" here much more liberally than the context of the conversation.

You already have "enough" to be justifiably worried, for your situation to matter, and for something to need to be done about it. Nobody is calling that into question.

However, it's also true that you are not undergoing as much suffering, right here, right now, as a factory farmed animal would (who for example, might have so little room they can't even turn around, or on the execution line, the electric shock might not kill them and they go into the boiler alive, which is common for turkeys)

The body sure, but the name, they definitely don't. They all act like it's a lovely, not crazy gesture.

So based on this comment it seems suffering is inherently more ok for you (even if it's "low", which is definitely is not regarding factory farming) depending on what we raised the animal for. Could you describe how those animals are less conscious / able to suffer as say, a dog? Your desire for "low suffering" for these animals would indicate you at least want to care about animal suffering, but you seem to not be basing how okay that is by the subjective experience of the thing that goes through it, and I'd rather not assume it's simply a reflection of you weighing your morals more on how convenient it is for your lifestyle.

No, it is not. While it's distressing and upsetting to worry about, you are also not actually in that camp. Hundreds of billions of animals are, right now.

Not sure why this shouldn't be obvious to you, but you aren't being factory farmed.

I accidentally swallowed a live german cockroach in my last drink from a can of alcoholic beverage. I can't stop imagining it trying to crawl back out of my throat. Approximately how long will it live inside of me?
 in  r/NoStupidQuestions  2d ago

Sounds right is the whole problem. This output might be right, but when it bullshits, it's believable if you don't know what it's talking about.

U.S. Peace Corps says Musk's DOGE has arrived at its HQ
 in  r/news  2d ago

From the article:

Tuesday’s ruling does not mean that some or all of these transfers are necessarily permanent. “This issue will be more fully addressed in the expedited summary judgment briefing being prepared by the parties,” Howell said, suggesting that the fate of USIP property will ultimately be decided along with a larger ruling on whether the board should be reinstated.

So, probably still not going to end well, but it's not quite over.

Helpful reminder: If you dislike how dead this sub is, you can be part of changing that
 in  r/AdvancedProduction  2d ago

The sub rules state no self-promotion. It's honestly true that your song might be advanced enough to be worth sharing, but I would say no, the line has to be drawn unfortunately because the spammers who just want to get their music everywhere will always win out when self-promotion is allowed.

Where exactly have you encountered or heard of people that do no EQing except on the master? That's literally insane.
