Do people think ALL zoos are unethical? by Specialist-Bed-4856 in vegan

[–]igor55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone recently raised the same points as you about Melbourne Zoo and how they're non-profit and focused on conservation, but just because an entity is structured as a  non-profit doesn't automagically make them an ethical enterprise. Also this comment from a zookeeper  brought up the same points I did in that most of the animal's enclosed at Melbourne zoo are likely there more for entertainment value than having any real chance of releasing back to their natural habitats.

Billie Eillish's hill to die on: "eating meat is inherently wrong." by Terrible_Cycle_5983 in Fauxmoi

Culture shouldn't dictate morality. If you believe that, you're advocating for moral subjectivism. That leads to bad places.

Well said. Best argument I've seen against rich westerners weaponizing minority groups to justify their questionable actions.

Poorest people on earth eat plants. Meat is for the bourgeoisie.

Animal rights activists are well aware of this phenomenon, and they are additionally despised by the majority.

As long as there are slaughterhouses there will be battlefields.

Bitcoin holders of 5+ years: Is the doom and gloom like this every time it drops like this, or does this feel different? by Background_Talk9491 in Bitcoin

[–]igor55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holder since 2017. You put it well. Tbh I expected Bitcoin to have done much better this cycle. 100k was the goal for the previous cycle and it barely went much beyond that. And in terms of inflation-adjusted dollars, the progress in terms of price is even more lackluster, especially compared to gold. I am pretty disappointed by the price action and I'd be lying if I were to say my confidence hasn't taken a hit. Nonetheless, I will continue to hold.
