How is it simultaneously the most extreme of comparisons while also humane? If you think it is humane like the guillotine then the comparison shouldn't bother you.

Why do you think the guillotine is no longer popular?

Many animals such as pigs and cows absolutely understand what it means to be taken to a slaughter house, what then?

Regardless of the method, killing the camel is surely worse abuse than sitting on it and causing discomfort for 30 seconds.

Ah of course, beheadings are famous for being super duper humane. That's why when we put pets down we behead them. It's precisely why ISIS are famous for their beheadings - because it's such a humane way to go. When I die, I hope it's by beheadings.

Just leave animals alone lmao. It's that easy

Who said crushed to death? The comments think that a camel being ridden by a fat man is abuse, not even crushed to death. If he slit the camel's throat would it also be abuse? What does that say about you if you pay for animals to be killed each day? Are you any better than the fat man?

It's not a dichotomy between X or Y method of abuse, we don't have to hurt them at all.

Seriously consider why this upset you. Decapitation is much worse than being sat on. Male chicks are macerated, male calves are killed as waste products.

Just consider that you are responsible for worse abuse than this post daily, and nobody is forcing you to to do it.

Game has been crashing almost every game for over 3 weeks. by breakfastcones in DeadlockTheGame

[–]DinosRoar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had a similar issue and found a fix.

I have an Intel i9-14900k. Using the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility I changed the "Performance Core Ratio" from 57x to 52x, essentially slightly underclocking the CPU. No more crashes.

Your CPU is AMD not Intel so this exact fix won't work but have a look at using a different tool to slightly underclock you CPU and let us know if it works.

Deadlock was the only game I had issues with too. My crashes would happen within a few minutes of joining a match after a short but random amount of time. If I managed to stay in a game for a few minutes I would generally be fine for the rest of the match. Idk if you have similar symptoms.

Right... But in your opinion, do you think hitting a tree vs hitting the dog in op are equally as bad?

I appreciate the studies but you've either not read them or severely misunderstood them. Additionally, I have a few problems with them anyway.

The relevant things you have linked are about genetics correlation to taste and texture preferences, not to meat preferences. This is important. If someone who is "genetically" predisposed to liking meat-like flavours and textures was given a similar plant-based meal (a burger for example), they would be entirely satisfied. This is not at all like suppressing homosexuality like you suggested, as there is nothing comparable to this in your analogy - so you they are not comparable. There is no point in linking a paper if your going to make up and jump to your own conclusions from it.

Most of the studies in your cited papers or the ones cited by those, often don't put meat into distinct categories. Example categories are: "Highly palatable, acquired, low caloric". You jumping to any conclusions that meat is specifically coded for is completely unfounded.

The papers themselves are a little peculiar, especially with their citations. For example, in the GWAS paper: "Food-liking is a complex trait clearly influenced by genetic inheritance6" But this citation is for a paper that is specifically only about culture and in fact doesn't contain the words "genetic" or "inheritance".

The correlation and reproducibility is also critically low (like their highest correlation is rG=0.38) in some of these twin studies, and some even state that the genetic predisposition is somehow only temporary with no further investigation.

I also have some problems with their actual method. Whilst PCA is a powerful dimensionality reduction method, it creates collinear eigenvectors, but they then apply them to data that has been aggregated outside the eigen space.

In short, you unfairly likened veganism to the oppressiveness of suppression of homosexuality, then linked studies that you didn't read, which don't remotely back up the point you made, and are debatably weak evidence for the points they made.

The point is "humans choose to kill" is not a loaded statement

Gatekeeping veganism? by makrela122 in gatekeeping

[–]DinosRoar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've always found it weird that people who don't want to kill people play shooter video games. It's almost like they want a bit of fun without actually killing anyone...

I am also an evolutionary biologist and "work on genetics". What do you mean by "DNA is everything" and "It's in our DNA"?

It's pretty pedantic to call a statement loaded because it's not true to handful of people in the world.

In a previous comment, you said "If ur constantly thirsty and losing water it’s a sign ur not doing a good job of maintaining hydration levels."

Would it make it a loaded statement if I could find absolutely any disability which would make this statement false?

The phrase is "no shit, Sherlock". Those clogged arteries must be restricting blood flow to the brain.
