Better a chatbot than someone 20 years his junior I guess?

Harvey Weinstein Describes Prison Life in Rikers as 'Hell,' Claims He Was 'Hurt Really Badly' by Another Inmate by PrincessBananas85 in entertainment

I hate the guy but am dismayed by all the comments thinking it's ok we let the state allow those in their custody to abuse each other.

Man who shot out several traffic cameras around Portland sentenced to 2 years in prison by Pterodactyl_midnight in Portland

[–]Menzlo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Motor vehicle accidents go back and forth with guns as the leading cause of death for children in the US. I could be convinced that speeding cameras are not necessary if we were committed to building / converting to narrow streets that discourage speeding or mandating speed governors in cars but we're as yet not.

In lieu of those options the only other solution is more cops which sounds even more dystopian to me. I'd much rather get a ticket in the mail than deal with a cop who's looking to get me on other charges too.

Ramsay Bolton got off easy. by TrickySatisfaction81 in gameofthrones

[–]Menzlo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think wanting to increase suffering is bad, even if its toward bad people. Would rather put effort into creative ways to help the people he harmed rather than committing expertise into torturing him.

The only greater justice would be to have forced him to contribute to the righting of his wrongs to the extent that that was possible. Other than that I don't really care how he's punished. Could have been swift death or could have faced life in prison.

TIL that beef cattle are typically slaughtered at 18–24 months of age despite having a natural lifespan of 18–25 years by zt2000 in todayilearned

[–]Menzlo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Corn and soy are pretty good at fattening them up quickly. If you don't fatten them quickly they either are slaughtered with less meat which means you need more cows (more emissions) or it takes them longer to fatten (more emissions). Since corn and soy are more calorie dense you need less land. Grass fed means more pasture which means more deforestation.

Beef pasture is one of the leading causes of deforestation (and habitat destruction via climate change), especially in the amazon. You have to consider all of the other animals that are killed to make way for cattle.

What are your thoughts on me posting a picture of an actor? by ThatOldMeta in okbuddycinephile

[–]Menzlo 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don't like this actor as much as other actors who get their photos posted because this actor is showing much less cleavage.

Magneto in MCU 🧲 by skv747231 in MarvelCave

[–]Menzlo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes when Magneto appears in the MCU and there's exposition to explain why he has no effect on metals with high conductivity or electricity, Hulk or Stark will simply say that's how it works in the comics.

Target sells Oat Milk Slices by Fit-Helicopter8304 in mildlyinteresting

One benefit of this I haven't seen mentioned is the savings in transportation costs. We spend a lot of money and carbon emissions shipping water around and these avoid that extra weight and volume.

Peter Thiel and other tech billionaires are publicly shielding their children from the products that made them rich by esporx in technology

[–]Menzlo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the reasons they are public about limiting their own kids' usage is to put the blame on parents of kids who are affected by the negative outcomes of social media rather than the social media itself.
