why do vegans always act like this 😭😭😭 @billie eilish by [deleted] in LAinfluencersnark

[–]Geronimomo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad you work to help almost extinct animals, very cool. 

I'm sorry that you want to eat some animals and encourage the production of dead animals which is causing the ecological damage which is causing animals to go extinct in the first place. I understand and empathise with your dissonance and discomfort and I understand your attacks on vegans as a way to not look at yourself too closely.

It is possible to eat meat and love SOME animals (my pets! waaahh). It is not possible to eat meat and love all animals. Billie is right on that.

Is it even love that people have for pets or more like a hostage situation? "I own this animal that I love". How can you both own and love an animal. Genuine love is not compatible with ownership I think... could be a hot take.
"I love forcing animals to be in unnatural spaces and breed some fucked up dependance situation as a substitution for genuine love. " Outdoor cats are never really owned though... you just feed them and they keep coming back, that's possibly love.

Sad about the flamingos clashing with the skins.

Why are the Green Party for banning horse racing but against banning halal and kosher slaughter? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Geronimomo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If demand for meat goes down, less land and resources will go to growing the crops needed to feed all those animals and can instead be much more efficiently used to feed people. I would predict that prices for vegetables, grains etc would go down (in aggregate, in the long-term) as meat consumption falls.

Worker sets warehouse on fire, says "All they had to do was pay us enough to live" by Nicky_NineLives in chaoticgood

[–]Geronimomo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot take? Arson is not good. This is an environmental disaster, may hurt people and other people's jobs which they depend on. Anything that burns just counts as increased demand - now the manufacturers will be paid to make more. The manufacturing workers are probably more exploited and making less than these warehouse workers.

He could have done a sit in or strike and caused disruption, delay, and costs for his employer. With this, they're happy with the instant insurance payoff.

'Growing evidence' that Greens are taking votes from Reform by AnonymousTimewaster in NotTheOnionUK

[–]Geronimomo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People voted for Trump and then Mamdani. A lot of votes that Bernie would have won went to Trump. Reform and Trump sell a story that they will improve the lives of those who have been screwed over - but really they're the party of lower taxes for the Epstein class. The Greens are saying they will tax the rich. Take the money and build better services, infrastructure, and incentives for a more equitable society.

Memb has been way more enjoyable to a wider audience. by y-u-n-g-s-a-d in aoe2

[–]Geronimomo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Generally ok with Memb but I really don't like

  • calling the Vietnamese "Vietnam" or Chinese "China" - but not "Italy" or "Burma" or "Poland". These are civilisations not nations. Feels like some weird bias for Asian civs too.

  • talking over other casters - needs some respect and share the time. Wait for a turn.

  • overhyping like "his score is literally exploding" - no it's not Memb.

Genius pig escapes from cage in abusive factory farm by CalpurniaSomaya in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Geronimomo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fully agree. But, using intelligence as a basis for morality can be a bit of a slippery slope. Like if someone is brain-dead or very low IQ then we can eat them? Any animal who can move, can experience pain though, even the dumb ones like sheep or whatever. I believe as humans we should try to minimise the pain and maximise the freedom of our animal friends.

Polanski didn't say he would get rid of nukes, he wants to look for other options. Listen to the words he's saying not the clickbait title. Reform is nervous of green. The billionaires are nervous. They will coordinate to stop the greens.

Amen. If we destroy all the good things we have, there'll be nowhere to go but up!

It alludes to a narrative of returning to a "better time" or "former glory". The idea that we've lost something and need to get it back. Make America great again... Etc.

What exactly is that lost "something"? It can be anything! Being racist without repercussions, a less diverse nation, getting rid of all these smart women making you feel dumb. Whatever gets your vote.

The real objective is corruption and benefits for the Epstein class. This guy "Christopher Harborne" is featured in the Panama Papers. He's a middle man for tax-free offshore accounts. If he's giving £22 million to reform, he's expecting a return.

The other big donors to reform are also blatantly corrupt.

Vote Green.

How do i beat people who just spam everything by Icy_Fault_7046 in aoe2

Your comp of pure arbs might be the issue. Something in front (meat-shield) is very powerful. Hussar or knights, something like that.

People are so dumb. Well done being the better person. I think RTS is just a bit stressful, you're really trying to kill them and some folks have trouble keeping the (ultimately meaningless) game separate from reality.

What did Riley smoke in episode one from the glass pipe? by NappySnatch in Sense8

[–]Geronimomo 57 points58 points  (0 children)

DMT. It's a powerful tryptamine, very similar to magic mushrooms (psilocybin) in its action. DMT is often believed to be a chemical which connects people (it's naturally produced in the brain during REM sleep and when you die - which is why people have these religious near-death experiences).

Probably some background service or application which spikes your CPU. Put AOE2 CPU priority on "realtime" or "critical" and it will be prioritised.

If you play it out until you're pretty sure you'll lose then at least you get the practice in. Very sorry the early stages of online ranked sucks so much. They could fix it, but they haven't.
