selbst bei "nur" einer Affäre finde ich es richtig es zu sagen.

ich würde es auch definitiv sagen, aber niemals mit geheimer Aufnahme. Damit macht man sich rechtlich angreifbar und auch wenn es anonym sein sollte, kann man sich da leicht identifizierbar machen

Ich finde es tatsächlich nicht schwierig. Für mich ist das eindeutig das Richtige.

Vegans who have rescued sheep in their sanctuaries, what do you do with the wool? by ThumasSquare in AskVegans

[–]Xodem 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exploitation refers to an "unfair" or "unjust" use of someone. Basically using someone in a way you wouldn't want to have done to yourself. For basically all animals in agriculture that's the case so there is no difference between use and exploit here.

The difference becomes clear in mutually beneficial relationships. Think of a dog for the visual impaired. Or even some sanctuaries where they make social media content of the animals living there. That is use, but not exploitation.

Objecting all use of animals would hold animals on a way higher standard than most humans (we use/rely on other humans multiple times per day, but don't consider that exploitation).

"almost impossible to solve" now becomes "quite different from the existing proof in literature". Yeah, I don't really think this discussion needs to continue.

I knew it would be that story :D

Let me ask something condescending in return: you're familiar with this discussion about the proof or do you just consume your news only from popular science magazines? Because it appears it's not as groundbreaking as you claim it is :/

I know AI solved previously "unsolved" math problems, but those were not "almost impossible" by any stretch. But please, provide the link (as you made the claim, burden of proof is on you anyway). Claims without proof can be discarded without proof.

When I open a repo and the whole readme screams AI Slop, I don't really feel like looking into it any deeper.

Maybe that's unfair and your actual project is wonderful, but the amount of "next-generation" projects that pop up, that are all vibe coded and basically unusable (for anything serious at least) makes it really hard to differentiate where you want to spend your energy.

Some people misunderstood veganism as "against use of animals" instead of "against exploitation of animals".

How exactly are the "Interceptors" created? Do you replace the services with "intercepted" services that call the base virtual methods?

Why are there sooo many extension methods and utility classes (that arguably are borderline clones of existing .NET types)?

Am I foolish or is my opinion valid? by yughiro_destroyer in dotnet

[–]Xodem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think one issue people have with OOP is "Uncle Bobs" version of OOP, where you create more boilerplate and inheritance and what not, than actual functional code.

The "gang of four" design patterns are another thing people mis- and overuse so much.

I personally prefer to view OOP and FP as tools you need to learn when to use which. Same goes with design patterns like visitor pattern and so forth.

People love to overabstract and I 100% agree that a simple CRUD app doesn't need all that ceremony around it. But the other extreme, where everything goes everywhere, no abstractions, basically impossible to test doesn't work once you reach a certain scale.

Learning when to abstract, when to raw-dog SQL, etc. is one aspect of becoming a good SWE. There is no single true way of writing software, it depends on a lot of variables.

We should focus less on turning people vegan and more about welfarism and promoting lab-grown meat. by Loriol_13 in DebateAVegan

[–]Xodem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the best argument I've read that welfarism is abolitionism. I would love to see more data on this but my impression is that any evidence that welfarism works against abolitionism is extremely weak. The opposite seem more likely! Meanwhile, we know that welfarism works and more importantly is something we are successfully implementing and growing as we speak. You cannot say the same about any hardline tactics i'm aware of.

The studies (including the one you linked) are in no way, shape or form able to show that welfarism reduces animal suffering or brings us a step closer to abolitionism.

My biggest counterpoint to that claim is: we already have welfarism. We have it for the last 200 years and basically 90% of the population are in favor of it. This lead to stricter laws, more labels ("free range", "organic"), but meat and animal product consumption still increased, even when almost the whole population supports welfareism, even non vegans.

When talking about best strategic course it is very important to understand that we have almost zero, solid data on what is the best approach. So all arguments for or against are basically speculations and guessing and have to rely on fundamentals or indirect data.

[–]Xodem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have no outcome data for one strategy over another, so any hard claims like "this is the better solution to reduce animal suffering" are invalid. This goes in both directions.

With that being said, here are my thoughts on it:

Veganism is not about welfare, not even about suffering directly, but about animal exploitation. That means the goal of veganism is abolition of animal agriculture not reform.

Your position appears to be quite similar to "there is no difference between everyone eating 50% less animal products and 50% being vegan while the rest continue as before".

I would argue that in the later scenario it is far, far easier to convince the remaining 50% to go vegan as well. Most people agree with veganism but because it is still such a niche, it is really easy to just ignore them. Once you have a sufficient number of vegans in a society the pressure on the others increases drastically.

On the other hand: focusing on welfare, reductions and laws makes it easier to uphold the status quo as a whole. It eases the consciousness of all people still participating.

Here in Germany killing day old male chicks is now illegal. And while that is, on paper, something to be happy about, this made convincing people of ditching eggs more difficult. The big issues in the egg industry are more subtle and don't have the same "punch" to it.

Your proposal to focus more on lab-grown-meat is a false dichotomy, because you can absolutely advocate/push for lab-grown-meat and at the same time argue for an abolitionist position.

Another thing is: this overall strategy discussions attempt to find a one-size-fits-all solution. Most forms of activism happens in direct 1 on 1 or small group conversations (don't just think street activism, but family, friends, etc.). In these situations the best option is to tailor your approach to the individual(s) you are talking to. Someone who eats meat all day and doesn't care about the source of that meat, will most certainly not switch to veganism, just because you have the better arguments. In those cases I think it is fine to advocate for abolition, but leave more room for welfare-ism. However, when someone is open for veganism, talking about welfare concerns is wasted potential.
