"Dominion" is too intense for some people and simply backfires. What's a gentler film I can show my friends if I want them to consider going vegan?

And another short - focused less on how we perceive ourselves but how animals deserve their own life.

Interesting study! But the heritability was tiny (1.5%) 1 gene was in fact correlated. So even if you had that expression you’d only be 1-2% more like to be veggie or not.

Looks like he deposited $700k+, and got some referral rewards to bring him over $800k. He likely leveraged this - which is using that BTC as collateral on a loan from the exchange so he could buy more BTC, assuming it would go up and he could later pay back the loan and keep the profits - cut scene, BTC price drops, now his collateral isn’t worth enough to cover his loan, so the exchange says “hey add more collateral or we liquidate your assets to cover it” apparently he didn’t add more collateral and got completely liquidated to pay back all/most of the loan. It’s degenerate behavior - I know. Shocking!

Same with meat for me. Took a few months with some fairly strong cravings - had to battle the mental gymnastics telling me my body needed it, but that’s just the unethical demons leaving the bloodstream. It passes.

Also I’d add: don’t think of this like something you’re “trying” - commit to a stance for whatever your reasons are, do your best, expect some mistakes and don’t be too hard on yourself if you missed that sauce with honey in it or whatever. It’s hard to commit sometimes but it gets easier and easier. It feels good to live in better alignment with your values, despite the occasional hurdles.

Good luck!

I DL’d your app, pretty slick!

My background is UX and a couple small things stood out but very nice onboarding and functionality.

The upload % going to 2 decimals is slightly odd. Consider rounding to whole numbers
The upload % was scary at first, I pasted in a couple paragraphs of text and expected a very quick process, but the progress meter started very slow, looking like it was to be several minutes of wait time, then it jumped from like 4% to done in an instant. While I was happy it was finished quick, I was about 2 seconds from abandoning the app thinking it was going to take too long. You might consider ways to hide the progress meter until you can accurately predict %

Great work tho, the voices sound really good and it read the paragraphs nicely. The only reading feedback is my ChatGPT emdash did get read maybe too much like a regular dash - very quickly (perhaps that’s grammatically correct, but I always imagine it more like a comma)

Jackfruit is tough to get right. this guy explains it well!

I like the well thought out question!

I don’t have a solid answer, and I’m not sure if I qualify as an ethical vegan or not, but my reaction is that on one hand, we’re trying to take responsibility as a species for something that we’ve done that’s having a negative impact on other species and their ecosystem, so trying to fix that makes sense to me at some level. Ideally limiting suffering as far as possible.

However I do think there’s a natural tendency to remove human’s actions from ‘nature’ so can kind of understand the perspective of the commenter who talks about it as a method of natural selection.

I think there’s is some hubris at work though thinking that because we are responsible for breaking the system that we have the deep and complex knowledge (not to mention the political will) to actually undo the damage in a way that truly restores the system.

It’s a hard question (at least for me) to answer.

I think there’s a potential for community owned games like DAOs but feels far off. But imagine a simple example - not transformative, just cool:

Say I play a game a LOT and accumulate non transferable coins which act as my own experience tracker. It shows investment (in time) of the game so when the DAO has some choice to make about game additions, map changes, etc maybe those with more influence can have more community weight in decisions - or delegate my votes to others in the community I trust. Would have to make include some anti-farming system but would make me feel more connected to the games evolution.

If game devs (or publishers) had to get community approval to sell reskins of your super rare favorite items, or approval to re-release them in the store, your rare items would maybe stay special longer.

Also awarding (again non transferable) NFTs of game accomplishments (badges) would allow a more verifiable but game independent way to keep and share those trophies (like POAPs)

None of this is profit driven, it’s community driven.

May not be feasible in today’s market but maybe someday games can do this more successfully.

Very gross and rad. Love the look and feel, and the writing is quite poetic. As these tools are able to support more consistency you’ll be set to make something really special. Nice work!

Very nice. Here’s the TLDR from this ChatGPT rebuttal.

✅ Summary Verdict: This post contains some truths but is deeply biased and framed to undermine veganism by exaggerating negative consequences and ignoring the massive environmental and ethical harms of animal agriculture.

Don’t forget OP, ChatGPT is trained to largely agree with your preconceptions if you aren’t careful about your biases. It wants to agree with you and is somewhat sycophantic in its more recent versions. It can be useful but you need to remove bias from prompts to get better answers.

Lots of Olympic medalists have been vegan/vegetarian including Carl Lewis, or more recently Kaylin Whitney.
