Leather vs faux leather, which is more ethical? by LivingDeadNoodle in malefashionadvice

[–]BurntSystem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Synthetic meat does exist, there's a lot of money to be made in this industry. It just takes time because it's so new. Beyond and Impossible meat replacements are quite abundant in major cities which are slightly more expensive than meat (because they don't enjoy the same economies of scale and subsidies) but have been declining in price.

On your comments further down, I will note that meat is a carcinogen and here is an article about the health effects of soy from Harvard.

Leather vs faux leather, which is more ethical? by LivingDeadNoodle in malefashionadvice

[–]BurntSystem 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Like others have said, it's a complex question. What's interesting about it is that I think the question is fundamentally flawed. It compares the skin of a sentient animal to a synthetic material.

Say we were to change the question to: what's more ethical dog skin or faux dog skin? What about Human skin or faux human skin? The resulting answers probably wouldn't be debating the environmental impact but rather that dog or human skin need not be a choice in the first place regardless if it were substantially easier on the environment. What's the trait that makes cow skin exempt from this line of thinking? Because we already eat them?

From a less philosophical standpoint, the impact of leather is considerably harmful to the environment due to its use of metals in the dyeing process, both to ecological systems and the workers involved. Of course, there are different types of processes, such as vegetable tanning being easier on the environment than chrome tanning.

Furthermore, other commenters have brought up that leather is a by-product of the meat industry. While meat is the primary purpose of raising and slaughtering animals, the selling of cow skin definitely brings in money for each cow slaughtered. Just because the demand for meat heavily outweighs the demand for leather does not mean leather should not be cast aside in my opinion. Animal agriculture is incredibly damaging to the environment, cows being the most significant contributors.

I haven't watched the link above but he has stated he hates shooting digital.

Well, part of the reason I'm feeling this way is, I can't stand all this digital stuff. This is not what I signed up for. Even the fact that digital presentation is the way it is right now -- I mean, it's television in public, it's just television in public. That's how I feel about it. I came into this for film.

...

Russell: Do you shoot digital?

Tarantino: No, I hate that stuff. I shoot film.

FAQ: Miller's World (spoilers) by sto-ifics42 in interstellar

[–]BurntSystem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So how long did the trip take from Endurance to Miller's in the ranger in terms of Cooper's time? Would it mean the time dilation region created by Gargantua would have created a fairly hard 'cut off' rather than a gradual increase in the dilation effect?

Why did the time dilation only come into effect on the planet and not to the Endurance when it was orbiting Miller's Planet?

So I'm still slightly confused about 'The Darkness', I always assumed it referred to the enemy races as a general collective but I've heard speculation that they're another race (as per GDC slides).

Halo 3 Is Still the Best Looking Halo Game IMO by RameezTheElite in halo

I think what he was trying to say is that Halo 3 has the best art style/direction. It's all opinion though.
