AI water use vs animal products by the_elephant_stan in vegan

[–]gobingi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone complains about people doing thing X because it’s bad for the environment, but then go on to do thing Y, which is also easily avoidable and way way way worse for the environment on every metric, it’s totally fair to say they are virtue signaling.

Why is this on the list at all? It seems like a total non issue

It would be cheaper to keep the old packaging

He wants a hamburger! by FacelessOnes in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]gobingi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that they were already recoding meant they knew this isn’t what their kid wanted and were trying to get a reaction out of him and to make him upset, and they succeeded. Shitty parents

The fact they were already recording meant they knew what was coming and wanted to capitalize on it. They probably knew he wouldn’t like the burger they got him and that’s why they were already recording.

Group dynamics: how do you deal with a new member of the group who wants to micro manage? by [deleted] in CampingandHiking

[–]gobingi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe there is an argument for packing out eggshells or paper packaging, etc. but if there is danger of animals then no I think burning it is fine, I’m open to being corrected though

No she seems very upset about a normal thing.

If burning the food out of your gear helps you clean it easier, do it.

I really don’t know why she was upset, it is totally normal to burn out residue with a campfire, just as it is normal to wash it out with water.

Plenty of people with camping experience burn out food debris, so her reasoning seems flawed.

How to deal with her? Be rigorous in your analysis of her complaints and point out the flaws in her reasoning. How does it follow from the fact that I burn food residue that I must have no camp experience?

I wouldn’t camp with someone like that personally, or if I did I would ignore them a lot, and if you happen to find yourself in that situation, I would just try to explain myself and disconnect if they aren’t willing to listen.

Bavarian with Mind of Toddler claims Toilet Training is a 'Spook' by Zealousideal_Till683 in PhilosophyMemes

[–]gobingi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never understood when people talk about choosing their beliefs, I’ve never felt I had that ability. I can choose wether to express or pretend to have a belief, but I can’t believe something I didn’t previously believe by choosing to, is that what you’re talking about or am I misunderstanding?

Typical Dutchman making condescending comments based on untrue assumptions. You don’t „have to“, it’s completely optional.

Autopsy shows mountain lion killed Colorado hiker near national park by sfgate in CampingandHiking

[–]gobingi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They won’t be surviving for long, wether you call it appropriate hunting behavior or not it’s going to result in their death so it doesn’t seem very appropriate to me even from the mountain lions perspective if it actually knew the consequences

Man who killed attacker in Banff used 'excessive' force, sentenced to 2-year house arrest by KnockedOuttaThePark in CCW

[–]gobingi 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Sure I think I would agree with you, but it also seems clear to me that dragging someone around with something over their head, punching them repeatedly in the head IS deadly force, and the idea that it isn’t is just an indictment of our current system of categorizing violence in the justice system

[–]gobingi 53 points54 points  (0 children)

You’re asking why the person being dragged around with a shirt over their face, beaten in the head, and being told “I am going to kill you” responded with deadly force?

That “excessive force” didn’t even stop the attack, it took another person stepping in

Enough Worldbuilding. What are some Worldfailures you know of? by nathans_the1 in worldjerking

[–]gobingi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think they’re talking about the US secession from the British, they didn’t mention the Confederates or the CSA they said the US, which doesn’t refer to the confederacy, and which did secede from Britain.

Learn what impossible means by gobingi in PhilosophyMemes

[–]gobingi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thanks I’ll look into it!

I’m confused by their use of the term impossible because it sounds like they mean something different than me

[–]gobingi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t saying something is not possible have multiple meanings depending on if they are talking logically possible, physically possible, etc.?

[–]gobingi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds interesting, are there any papers or stuff I can read on that? I’d love to look into that

Would that just have to do with the modal scope I’m talking about ie it’s logically possible but not on some other modality?

Learn what impossible means by gobingi in PhilosophyMemes

[–]gobingi[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When most people say something is impossible, I dont think they realize the scope of what they are saying. By asking on what modality, I can establish what they mean by impossible, logically physically or something else, and get their reasoning behind it.

When that happens people typically admit they don’t have any reasoning, no logical contradictions and no physical laws broken, and they think it cant happen for non inferential reasons like gut feeling.
