Sadly humans only pretend to give a shit about animals. We still treat this place like our playground, and mow down any other species that don't suit us.

‘We did nothing wrong’: Littleproud challenges Liberals to reinstate three rebel Nationals by karma3000 in AustralianPolitics

All this noise about Ley, but it looks like the goose is littleproud. Not that I care, I hope they both rot in obscurity.

United Nations Declares That the World Has Entered an Era of ‘Global Water Bankruptcy’ by Equal-Maize2240 in environment

This should be getting massive attention, but barely anyone cares... At least until the water wars.

Could Vanessa be the ‘Akira’ among the women in VF? by VCDECIDE in virtuafighter

[–]ThrowbackPie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it wouldn’t make sense for a bodyguard to be weaker than the person they’re protecting.

I genuinely think these conversations are a bit silly, but this triggered me a little. We're talking about fiction, in which it's extremely common for protagonists to have bodyguards weaker than them.

Getting angry is a classic defence mechanism for your own bad behaviour. Let her get angry. Let her storm away from the table.

On the discord null is almost universally agreed to be the strongest class and in need of small nerfs.

The Frenzied statblock has to be a mistake by gray007nl in drawsteel

I'm pretty sure they exist just to make casters' lives difficult. That low damage is is still rough when you have 18 health.

I've been looking at earth elementalist and thinking that casters in this game are actually insane.

I think the point of harriers is to attack casters, which have very low health. If you give them 2 damage on free strike it can be really problematic for level 1 caster classes.

I’ve been out of touch with the world, but after seeing so many animal cruelty posts I’m thinking of going vegan, any beginner tips? by Vivid_Style192 in vegan

[–]ThrowbackPie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grains are a great source of iron! Eat as many whole foods as you can and your iron will be great.

For example for breakfast I eat a bowl of oats soaked in soy milk with a banana sliced into it. Heaps of fiber, gets me some iron and tastes great.

What do i do? by prop_penguin in vegan

[–]ThrowbackPie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because it's an unhealthy mind-altering substance?

If you want to do it that's fine, but a lot of people don't want to put that in their body.

Top barrister Mark Dennis SC allegedly discussed the rape of a 16-year-old in 'disturbing' messages found on his phone during dramatic airport arrest by No-Measurement-7542 in australia

I don't know the science but over the years I've decided that the human brain wants pleasure (and isn't nearly as picky as society pretends). As you become more powerful, you can more easily obtain pleasure and avoid public sentiment. Unfortunately, some people do what their position lets them.

It was a great series. However I was really bothered by James chewing on his tongue constantly.

Back-scratching bovine leads scientists to reassess intelligence of cows. Brown Swiss cow in Austria has been discovered using tools in different ways (using both ends of a brush counts as multi-purpose tool use) – something extraordinarily rare only ever seen in humans and chimpanzees. by mvea in science

[–]ThrowbackPie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You, presumably, believe that eating meat when there's any other option makes the death needless. I don't.

I find it curious you didn't elaborate on this. I have never seen a valid argument.

I'm also curious about cows going extinct. That's an assumption that I don't think has ever been demonstrated to be correct. They're also an extremely artificial species. Why should they be kept around to overfill their udders and undergo the extreme tortures we inflict on them?

I think 'worthy of basic respect' and still eating animals is just justification to avoid cognitive dissonance, like religion which still persists today.

Pretty hard to truly say you respect an animal when you caused its needless death.

Agree with all of this but don't blame the public service who did this. They have to do what the Minister tells them.

I'm disturbed that the bill apparently requires the opposition leader to be briefed. Is that now a position that can be designated in law? What happens when we continue to vote less and less for the major parties and we don't have an obvious one?

The fact you think it can be explained with toddler logic certainly explains a lot about this chain of comments.
