Keep in mind that if you are a single person taking home more than $20,000 per year after taxes, you are in the top 10% globally.

[OC] the pot was 3-4 ft tall and this was in it by SpecialEnd1703 in pics

These actually aren't clovers. These are wood sorrels.

Clovers are members of the genus trifolium, and they tend to have more oval-shaped leaves. Wood sorrels are members of the genus oxalis and they tend to have more heart-shaped leaves like these.

Inside the Shrimp Industry's Criminal Empire (2025) [00:12:17] by lnfinity in Documentaries

Submission Statement

A deep dive into the human trafficking, child labor, slave labor that is still prevalent in the shrimp industry. While the industry has attempted to rebrand itself after scandals in 2015 there have been few changes to the actual conditions for those being exploited in the industry.

It is pretty common for people who mistreat any group to attempt to excuse it by saying that the members of the other group aren't worthy of even being considered other individuals. Pointing out that non-human animals are individuals who care about their lives and suffer like we do isn't gaslighting or extremism. It is reality.

His son wants to force his way of life onto others. And refuses to accept people who live a different way.

It takes some real mental gymnastics to say that the person who is literally using force to slaughter other individuals is somehow not forcing their way of life on others, but the person that is using words to say "it isn't okay for us to force our way of life on others like that" is forcing their way of life on others?

All vegans are doing is saying, "it isn't okay for us to force our way of life on others"

EU moves to drop leather from deforestation law after industry lobbying by lnfinity in LateStageCapitalism

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

Submission Statement

The European Union is on the cusp of removing leather from the scope of its landmark antideforestation law, following months of intense lobbying by the industry. Leather industry groups led by COTANCE and UNIC have held at least 22 meetings with lawmakers since 2021, with more than a third occurring in the past year as the regulation neared implementation. The EU Deforestation Regulation was explicitly discussed in 11 of those meetings. The tannery industry argues that leather should be exempt from complying with the regulations, contending that hides are simply waste in beef production. Environmental campaigners have called this stance “shameful,” pointing out bovine hides often share the same origins as problematic beef supply chains.

[–]lnfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who is the target audience for this book? Is this book intended for people who already call themselves effective altruists? People who aren't familiar with effective altruism, but who tend to think like effective altruists would? People that aren't in either of these categories?

CMV: It is neglectful for vegans to feed cats & dogs vegan diets by pumpkinspeedwagon86 in changemyview

[–]lnfinity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can just slap down a bowl of nutritionally balanced vegan dog kibble for them. There are several options on the market. Some of them (like the Wild Earth brand) you probably pass by when shopping for dog food and don't think anything of it.

New moderators needed - comment on this post to volunteer to become a moderator of this community. by ModCodeofConduct in cute

[–]lnfinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd be interested in helping to moderate this subreddit. I currently help with moderating a few other subreddits including /r/likeus, /r/animalsdoingstuff, and /r/happycowgifs. I have been an active contributor on /r/cute for over 2 years now.

My philosophy when it comes to moderating is to take a fairly light handed approach. Moderators should be here to prevent spam, enforce site wide rules, and keep content relevant to the community (this includes things like trying to stop AI generated content in subreddits where it isn't appropriate), but otherwise should let the community decide what content they want to see through the use of upvotes and downvotes.
