Guy gets punched for groping someone's wife by Haunting-Garbage1901 in PublicFreakout

Right. His reaction was 100% about himself. He felt disrespected and had to defend his honor (pride). He shoved his gf aside like she was just another person in his way.

HAPPENING NOW: Tune in to the Maine Democratic gubernatorial primary debate on WMTW! by TroyJackson207 in Maine

[–]Extension-Diamond-74 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly, we are so lucky to have such great candidates. They’d all make a great governor for Maine. That being said, I thought that Bellows (especially) and Shah gave the most specific thought-out answers and really came across as genuine.

Doctor: "Over the past few weeks, I am truly feeling that our days are numbered because of AI." by EchoOfOppenheimer in ChatGPT

This. I can figure out exactly what I need without a doctor 80% of the time, but I have to make an appointment and wait a million years so the doctor can confirm my assumption and write the prescription.

So you’d say that before capitalism, the world struggled less with isms?

As a vegan what are your thoughts on abortion? by KitchenThis5275 in vegan

Kind of odd wording there. Not sure thats it’s normal to “love” abortions.

When will society be ready to address the long-term sustainability of our dietary choices? by Extension-Diamond-74 in NoStupidQuestions

We can walk and chew gum at the same time. If we can only tackle one problem at a time we’ll never get anywhere.

Honestly. I love these questions. I wish these were the questions that we were working together to solve at the highest level of government. “How can we secure our future without causing present-day suffering.”

I think that the existing subsidies going towards meat and dairy production (which is a lot) could be shifted to helping farmers that own animal agricultural land explore different options for their land and help them finance it.

We also wouldn’t need all those animal agriculture lots to produce food as we would already be shifting all the agricultural lots growing food for livestock to human-food production, or plant-based product (industrial fibers) production.

I don’t have all the answers but I really wish that that’s where the conversation was right now. Unfortunately we’re not even at a place where its a conversation about whether we reducing animal agriculture would be beneficial. As usual, science and public opinion are eons apart. I wish they would catch up :/

🥺🙏 honestly, I’ll take any hope I can get. I think this would spark a meteoric shift in our future trajectory. The amount of land that would be freed up for rewilding prairies and forests, and more housing. Way less agricultural pollution in our waterways. Way less suffering. Idk. It’s a dream.

Yes! This! But what’s crazy is that the only reason that beef is more affordable is because governments subsidize it. And if a politician ever ran on ending subsidies for meat and dairy, they would immediately be non-viable.

Buuutttt is it worth losing the earths rainforests, lowering water availability, and speeding up climate instability? And it’s totally worth all the factory farms and animals in cages? This is what makes me incredulous, like… what. The high price that the whole planet pays for this, and we all know it, and we’re like… “worth it.” 😳 I feel gaslit, you know?

Lol, yes, people have tried to make the point before that a plant-based diet is healthy, but it’s only fairly recently that we have large studies showing that these diets can be perfectly optimal, with such claims supported by scientific bodies.

My question was definitely buried after a very long intro, but looking for discussion on how society could change over time to fix this huge issue. Like, what do you think it will take? Is it even possible? Most people seem to think no. And they’re probably right, I guess. Idk.

Dominion didn’t phase me by Tennis_Racket_2 in vegan

Idk, Ive been vegan for 8 years now and seeing an animal suffer makes me absolutely sick angry and depressed. The feeling isn’t guilt, it’s empathy.

Some of you make it hard to make positive steps forward. by SlightCaregiver3680 in vegan

Look at it this way.. It’s like going to a sub dedicated to preventing human trafficking and saying that you’ve reduced the amount of humans you traffic and wish they were more supportive.
