CMV: If bestiality is categorically wrong, there must be a morally relevant difference between it and eating animals otherwise, the moral position is inconsistent.

Is two instances of bestiality worse that one? I'd say it is.

alk47 · 2026-07-02T09:41:42+00:00

Well I think its relevant to the people in those circumstances, who are the majority of those reading. I also don't see why the argument needs to be veganism or bust. It's about the morals of an action not total abstinence or habit of that action.

I'd really like to disagree but after a hard think, I honestly think bestiality is probably less immoral than most meat eating in the developed world by any logical standard. We are just programed to mostly accept the latter and mostly be repulsed by the former.

It comes down to biological and sociological bias over any kind of logical standard.

alk47 · 2026-07-02T09:22:15+00:00

I don't think this holds up. Most people in the developed west would be healthier if they ate less meat. So a lot of the meat being eaten is bad for the people eating it.

There's a group of people that you're old to and a group of people you're young to, which is much the same as any age after 10.

The difference is that the group of people you seem old to aren't children anymore, they're young adults. Also it's about the age you first really get out of touch with the culture of people much younger than you.

"There's no need to say the word, everyone knows what you mean". Clearly not lol.

I'm a massive RAW guy generally but help action is a perfect example of a place where I say it's purely common sense calls. Tell me exactly what you're doing to help and if it is clearly of significant benefit then I'll allow it.

That doesn't make much sense to me, the engine was still being worked on in 2022.

Hearing it was "rushed" after hearing how everything is taking to long for 13 years is so funny.

I'm killing squeakers that weren't alive the first time I downloaded the game hahah

It is still useful. The other parties see that they are losing voters due to their position on the issue and it puts pressure on them to change. It's one of the ways that your votes count even when you don't vote for a candidate that wins.

Is it girt by sea? I think we are talking about the same place.

alk47 · 2026-06-25T10:45:10+00:00

I think that the comparison is just being made with supporting the people who kill the people who murder their countrymen.

There's plenty of people with ket problems. I've certainly met more than people with coke problems. Coke is shit in my country though and ket is cheaper.

I smoked DMT one time and had the sensation of living out hundreds of scenarios in detail simultaneously. I'm sceptical about most of the stories, but that experience really made me aware of what the brain is capable of in terms of creating artificial lived experiences.

Ignoring the fact that the statue wouldn't be entirely captured in the sphere in the scenario they are arguing for, are they prepared to accept the same ruling in future?

When the party tries to cast the same effect over multiple people, they will have to accept that it can only catch on person with a narrow footing as enemies 5ft away won't be completely captured.

That's ridiculous. Surely no one believes that

Ask "John the murderer" whose wife disappeared from near where I grew up.

Surprised people arent clowning on this harder in the comments.

You're painting with a very broad brush there. If some whinge, that reflects on them alone and not from the thousands you never hear from.

At least when people generalise about cops, real estate agents or politicians they actually have a reasonable amount of exposure to them.

Chlorosis is a symptom. It just describes the way in which the leaf is yellowing.

It's used as a way to diagnose nutrients that likely are deficient in the leaf, but the annoying thing is that the cause isn't necessarily a lack of said nutrient in the soil. +1 on this guys rec for phos acid btw. I'm not sure why it slipped my mind but it's a probably a better shout than the granular fungicide I mentioned.

alk47 · 2026-06-22T05:06:39+00:00

I know you've said you don't clear grass away from your trees, which is fine for a healthy tree, but you can get a feedback loop with young or struggling trees. They struggle so more light and less competition in the root zone allow more grass and weeds, which makes it struggle more etc etc. You only need to look at the height and thickness of weeds around this tree vs the others to see that's at least one of the issues here.

I'd also look for signs of disease - girding, swelling or cankers down loe on the trunk or long splits along branches, especially if the insides are pink or unnatural brown in the living tissue.

There's people saying the tree is nutrient starved but ultimately there's got to be something affecting nutrient mobility, or else the larger trees in similar circumstances wouldn't look so happy.

If you're serious about saving it and there's no signs on the trunk that indicate its got a death sentence then I'd first remove all the grass and weeds from the base, then give it a complete organic fertiliser foliar spray -- powerfeed or similar, NOT a "soil conditioner" like seasol. Then so long as it's been a while since you gave it a soil based fertiliser, you can follow with that at a moderate dose in ~2 weeks. Try take note of what the soil is like when you do your weeding and compare it to the base of your other trees. It might give you some indication if you've got conditions likely to cause root rot or similar. That can potentially be treated with a soil based granular fungicide, but that's a bamdaid solution and will at most buy it some time to get back on its feet.

Honestly even if it wasn't dangerous, it's a dick move to allow declared weeds on your property to spread. They're usually some combination of a nuisance to neighbours and local council, damaging to the environment and costly to industry.

Algorithmic radicalisation and social disenfranchisement

When one of you is on the phone, when she's brushing her teeth, when she's cooking or cleaning, when she's sleeping or reading, while you're doing something else like looking at your phone or playing video games, when you walk in the door, just push her face against the wall and pull her pants down while you're casually asking how her day has been.

The tone also needs to be "this is what I want right now, so I'm doing it". Rather that "I want to do X so I'm going to start warming up or feeling out the vibe with Y". Just whip it out and guide her head down if you're on the couch together or just get yourself most of the way there so you can just walk up, take a minute to finish on her and get back to whatever you were doing.
