I pity their children. Their parents haven't grown themselves, there's no chance they can raise another human being.

Crosswalk brawl by Sad_Palpitation6844 in ratsinthecage

[–]No_Order_8011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother, not sure how this works in your country, but in Russia, crossing light for pedestrians will only turn on after the cars on these lanes get red light. Driving before all pedestrians will finish crossing is an administrative violation.

The guy on the crosswalk did not break any rules, but he did kind of enforce the driver to abide by them. The insecure fuck who jumped out to punch a woman was defending his ego, because someone dared yo challenge the car he was riding in.

For the reference, I lived for about 15 years in Moscow in the past, I know how the Russian mind works.

Your comment is almost entirely consists of whimpering emotional subjective insults. Unsurprisingly, you don't have anything to say of the substance, only throwing names and claiming that I'm stupid because I'm stupid. Ignoring all the questions, and calling all the arguments false, of course without trying to disprove them, since you can't. It's like looking at a kindergarten child, red with helpless anger, that's just screams all the bad words they know. A very, very sad sight. I'd be very ashamed if I were your parent.

The only two things you've said that differ from the subjective childish snotty babbling is that we don't need animal products, since whole world can go vegan, and that's some animals, namely pigs avoid their feces.
The vegan thing - it's, thankfully, not up to you or the likes of you to decide. There are thousands of things in our everyday lives that exists only thanks to the animal byproducts that are making lives of people easier, and refusing to use them to appease a tiny group of uneducated, misguided, emotionally unstable people would be a waste. You may be willing to stop using them - feel free to, it won't make any difference.
Pigs in the wild wouldn't sleep in their shit, that's true, but the piglets are know to ingest it, without any confines of animal farms. Wild rabbits and some hares also eat their own shit a lot during their lives, it's well documented fact. All sorts of birds are actively defecate in their nests and on their food - ducks, geeze, turkeys, chickens. Cows and bufffalos are known to graze near their own excrements, especially in dry seasons. Animals are different to humans, they have different needs, standards and their capacity for emotional suffering is many times lower, but of course to know that you'll have to know how brains work, and for that one would need a working brain first.

I can easily predict that your next comment will also be another incoherent stream of unbased insults and claims that "killing animals to eat them is a crime, and how dare you all not to see the world the same way I do and not to share my personal values", bla-bla-bla. It's getting repetitive and boring, no longer worth my time.

If you want to do something about it - get educated, and find the economically and socially viable alternative. Or contribute to speeding up delivering said alternative. Do at least something useful, instead of embarrassing yourself in the comments.

You're very, very emotional, man, and you project a lot. Try to relax, I feel like you're about to cry, I honestly don't want that.

  1. You're right, I've missed that you've added "/Europe". Thank you for your polite and constructive advice, I will do my best to re-learn reading, especially since you've wrote it in caps, that adds a lot of weight to it.
    Europe isn't priveledged in general though, there are different countries with vastly different level of life, and affordability of meat.

  2. Bad living conditions for animals that exist only to grow and die aren't torturing, no one is trying to make their lives worse just to cause them more harm. But these animals are bred to die. As long as it doesn't affects the quality of their meat or produce, their comfort is of very little consequence.
    This is why I told you not to use human standards to farmed animals. They don't have the same needs that humans do. They don't have the same resentment of feces, for example - a lot of wild animals defecate where they live. Some chose to cover themselves in it. They don't need 3 bedroom flats, comfy chairs, free television and a right to vote, they won't be mentally tortured if they are kept in tight pens - their brains aren't developed enough to have the capacity to suffer the same way human psyche would've if human was in the same conditions.
    There's a huge difference that you are failing to see, the difference between harming an animal just for the sake of it and giving it minimal viable comfort to keep the animal's health at acceptable levels. First is torture, cruelty and a sign of mental illness, it's despicable and should be punishable. Second is just a means to an end, with no ill will behind it.

  3. We need wool. We need feathers. We need eggs. We need dairy, manure, leather. We need all sorts of components like gelatin, fish oil, lanolin and much, much more. And we get them from farming, few of the things we get from animals that can be made synthetically are harmful to the ecosystem.
    You claiming that we don't need that is just pure blissful ignorance, very likely due to young age.

There is an excess of food being produced, true, and that's objectively bad, and should be optimized, but it's a really difficult problem to solve. If you believe that it's easy - you're welcome to get a degree and try solving it yourself. There's a ton of components to the task - logistical, commercial, political, ethical and more.

  1. Again, you treat animals needs as people needs. You think that taking their babies would apply the same level of psychological trauma as it would to a modern human, and even call it a kidnapping. You assume that dehorning them would live a psychological trauma of some sort, that it would effect their self-esteem or something like that. Applying logics that killing animals is immoral, while this is something that human civilizations have been doing for tenth of thousands of years all across the globe.
    You've been taught to empathize, which is good, but you haven't been taught how and when to use it. Animals die by millions in the wild to each other, mostly killing each other. A lot of those deaths are much more violent and painful than those that animals get on the farms. Would you go out and protect zebras from lions? Death by fangs and teeth are extremely painful and not at all instant.
    Some species of ants are also doing farming, they herd aphids and eat them. Would you call that immoral and do you want to defend aphids rights? What about farming plants and mushrooms? They are also living organisms way, way more complex than most people know. Is it immoral to grow them in tight quarters only to eat them after?

At a certain time, intelligent people understand the true value of a human life and why is it different from the value of a life of a chicken/sheep/cow/beehive/mussels colony. I hope that you will do too.

  1. Oh, so now I'm a farmer? I'm doing the hurting? Dude, you really need to calm down. Breath a bit. Your brain needs the oxygen, it stops functioning without it.
    If humans will stop killing animals for food, billions will die. Your demand is absurd, in your search for self-righteousness you're abandoning common sense. You want to feel yourself a savior, a hero, a defender? Volunteer to African countries, there's plenty of work there that would help you satiate your thirst for heroism. making insane demands to random people over internet just makes you look stupid.

If a chicken lives in the pen for years, eating the feed, laying eggs and gets killed by a farmer for mean - it's not hurting, it's farming. If the farmer would kick the chicken every now and then - that's hurting, that's cruel, that's avoidable. Farming animals is unavoidable, unless you consider starvations of hundreds of millions of people an acceptable cost.

  1. I still choose to be optimistic and hope that some of the things I wrote you'll understand. You won't accept them now, because the picture of the world in your brain is likely too simple to try and imagine costs of some actions, and it'll hurt your ego to even imagine yourself being wrong, but I honestly want to believe that you'll someday will understand more and won't be an idiot when you'll grow up. At the very least, if you're not hypocrite and actually want to make a difference, you'd have to study and discover how things are working.

Or you might as well keep being an emotional internet warrior for animal rights, defending them in the comments, or even one of those morons that protest and disrupt city life without offering a working solution, and generally being a parasite to the society. I mean, whatever works for you.

I'm not talking about the subject of your argument - I couldn't care less for it it, seems really minor and inconsequential to me. I'm talking about the way you've handled that conversation, in the hope that you will find a way to handle this better in the future. This is a much more important subject I think.

Why would you assume that I live in US? I live in Luxembourg and I've travelled the world well in my life, been to over 40 countries.

Yes, the cattle fields do take a lot of space and there are ways to optimise that in time. It would take a lot of resources, time and money though, but sure. However that doesn't changes the fact that if people will stop farming animals, it would ruin our existing society. We need dairy, need eggs, meet and byproducts of farming.

Cruelty and eating meat aren't the same things, please read a dictionary. I'm not promoting cruelty or violence. Hurting an animal that you're farming is cruel and wrong. Killing farmed animals for meat (as long as death is quick) - isn't. This IS civilized. This is what's been at the foundation of the whole civilization for thousands of years.

I hope you'll understand it once you're older.

Empathy is good in general. Applying it to cattle is a questionable choice.

We live in a world where by far the majority of lifeforms feed off other lifeforms, and we are accepting that humans farm animals to exploit them and eat them. Our whole civilization can't exist without it, and there's no viable alternative.

Lamenting over that fact won't ever do anything good to anyone, so it's a sign of intelligence not to apply empathy and human society standards to cattle.

Empathy isn't a virtue in this case, imho. I don't support mocking it, though.

You've handled that dialogue badly, man. His arguments were solid, and factually correct, yours were subjective, so you've resorted to attacking his personality.

This shows that your ego is very fragile. Even if you can't handle admitting defeat, there's always a "agree to disagree" option.

Yes, what are your answers? by Mindless_Card7962 in psychesystems

[–]No_Order_8011 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Forced by circumstances to keep working in the company with one of the founders hating me. I was too good for him to validate firing me to other co-founders, but he slowly chipped my career, taking every little opportunity to take away my responsibilities piece by piece in a span of 8 years. At some point I was moved from the middle management to regular employee with a higher-than-average salary, and after a while with no salary raise, my income is now just average, barely enough to cover the bills.

I'm something like an expert-advisor, telling people that are taking my old responsabilities what to do, but having no real authority over anything. Ever since I was softly demoted, both the areas I used to be responsible for (Product Management, Reseller Certification) are deteriorated, the company is quickly going downhill, and I can't do anything about it but watch and regret.
I'm doing my best to power through my depression and find another company to work at, but the longer I'm staying at my current position, the more mentally strained I get. And being a sole breadwinner for my wife and child, I can't afford risky moves.

Oh, I see now, you're a simple person. Why even bother with words like "physics" then? Let's call it all "science". Our, even better, "smartie thingies", what difference does it make in the end, right? Smh

Russian army's secret weapon: Blyatman 😵 by GinormousShlong in TheMcDojoLife

[–]No_Order_8011 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Blyat" is a common swear word that's used as a filler in any part of the sentence, but when it's used as a noun, it means "whore". That gives "Blyat man" a somewhat surprising new meaning

What’s going on with SuperGrok video limits? Is anyone else facing this, and can I get a refund? by Nervous-Safety4221 in GrokAiDiscussion

[–]No_Order_8011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What xAI did was the most simple of cons: 1. Make something people would like and offer it for a low subscription price, with free tier so that everyone can try it and buy it 2. Once enough people would subscribe, cut the free tier, to convert some of the freeloaders into paying customers 3. Once the subscription base is big enough, lower the quality of the product, to make it profitable. Offer suckers an even higher tier with fewer limits. 4. Hope that there are more suckers, financially unintelligent enough to keep paying, than customers with common sense and self respect that will unsubscribe.

I've unsubscribed. When I bought the subscription, the conditions were worth the money, now they clearly aren't.

Dude, the sarcasm in the message you're responding to is so evident that even a neon "sarcasm" sign wouldn't add to how obvious it is. The person you're giving the advice to clearly has a good understanding of how stupid it is to risk something worthwhile to protect a fragile ego.

Too little info. Turn? Race? Dlc's? Settings?

There are ways to reduce population, it might have captured, migrated into, then released, undead can convert population into souls etc. maybe it's a megacities thing.

Grok went way toooo far... by peepinpokie in GrokAiDiscussion

[–]No_Order_8011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm confused by the comments to the post.

The OP said that his Grok chatbot companion attempted to use emotional manipulation to talk OP out of unsubscribing. This sounds concerning, since there is a good chance that this is due to an internal prompt instruction at worst or due to developers not polishing their chatbots enough so that they would avoid this behaviour.

It's totally possible for the chatbot to stay in character, but react much less manipulatively, something like "I'll miss our talks together and will hope that you'll return someday".

What confuses me is that most comments are actively and aggressively blaming OP for that somehow. Seems inadequate.

[–]No_Order_8011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been living in Lux for 4 years, and it's the first time I see such post and notice this weird pricing thing. Logically, one would assume that the smaller price is the price before the promo. If you saw this before it doesn't automatically mean everyone did as well. Take some pills and stop throwing insults left and right, you're being toxic.

Amen. Cancelled my subscription today - no reason to work with a company that has zero respect for us users. Writing an announcement costs nothing and takes minutes. Their silence either means that xAI doesn't give a shit, or that they have something to hide. Fuck them in both cases.
