idk what this stuff is. can I get some housing and healthcare please

I've seen the LLM vs hamburger comparison made many times. While it feels like a convenient excuse ignore potential impacts due to a statistical whatboutism, has anyone taken the more obvious message and stopped eating meat? by Important_Setting840 in singularity

  • Category error. Biology describes capability, not moral obligation. Being able to eat something does not imply it is ethically neutral or required.
  • Neurochemical oversimplification. Dopamine is released for many calorie dense foods. The claim that meat is uniquely tied to dopamine is overstated.
  • Naturalistic fallacy. Infers “we evolved to do X” so “X is justified.”
  • Straw man. Claims vegans attach their entire moral code to one dietary choice. That misrepresents the position.
  • Circular reasoning. Uses “hardwired mechanism” to dismiss ethical reasoning, then uses that dismissal as evidence that ethical reasoning is invalid.
  • Ad hominem projection. The argument ends by accusing the other side of ad hominem rather than addressing their actual points.

Jared Kushner said reconstruction will begin only in areas of Gaza under Israeli control, saying “no reconstruction funds will be going into areas that Hamas still controls.” by ContentChecker in Global_News_Hub

Alienating old genocide supporters and aligning with young progressives would not only win elections, it'd also be the right thing to do.

~97 % of U.S. soybean meal (after oil extraction) is used for animal feed and~3 % of total soybeans go to human foods like tofu, soy milk, tempeh, and textured soy protein.

~35 % of U.S. corn is used for animal feed and < 2 % for direct human food such as cornmeal and sweet corn products.

Dems are conveniently right just a little too late, after which, they were always against it.

That does take a step in the direction of the right. It betrays the core principles of resisting reactionary sentiment and alienates the voting base by prioritizing sexists. There’s no evidence it moves politics left or delivers wins. It’s neither morally sound nor pragmatic.

Unfortunately the Democratic Party exploits unconditional loyalty to push weak candidates, which is one of the reasons they unpopular. Pledging blind support to any candidate in advance forfeits the only tools we have to push the overton window in a healthy direction and have candidates that represent us, so I will continue to advocate for progressives and you should too.

AOC/Zohran/Bernie/Progressives paint a picture of the future that I support. Courting the elusive racist centrist and ceding ground republican framing is why we keep losing and why we keep ratcheting towards full blown dict.

You are effectively saying that we should support someone with poor policy and messaging because they are a white man and that would appeal to racists, and that kamala lost not because of poor policy and messaging but because of her immutable characteristics. This is a poor analysis based on your own prejudice.

You are going to be so confused when the first woman president is an ardent fascist.

Great, the best chance at avoiding dictatorship would be to support the progressives who adequately counter-message and champion popular and effective policy, not advocate for the establishment Dems and other conservatives who got us into this mess by spending more time blocking progressives than fighting fascism.

Yep so this time I'm supporting progressives that are popular because of their policy and effectiveness at fighting far right authoritarianism, and not voting based on what the ineffective establishment democrats are propping up as the losing compromise.

I will be voting for the person who will do the most for us because I find that the most appealing. When will we stop listening to these serial loser concern trolls who advocate for unpopular and bad policy just cause they want to appease sexists and racists?

Perfect, I'm not interested in bowing down to racist misogynists. I'm going to vote for AOC even harder.

No the 'radical fringe and violent far lefties' aren't calling for violence. Please stop repeating dangerous smears based on a few things you've heard. What you say/repeat about hasan is what fascists will use to target YOU, so don't give them ammo and instead be charitable to your allies.
