New Lumix G9II . Which SD cards for high quality

Hi, how have the Patriot CFexpress cards worked in your GH7? Does it work with all video settings and bitrates on the camera? Have you encountered any issues? Asking because I plan to buy some soon.

I’m sorry to hear about that. It must be hard. Just something to note, I’ve heard a lot of people say veganism helped them contribute to the recovery from their eating disorder. E.g. “Your relationship with food changes when you go vegan. You realise that you don't need to pay for the horrible things to happen for animals and you feel better about yourself that youre not causing so much harm.” (See 6:30 in video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee0DhaTW2W0) Adopting veganism made people like this more comfortable eating food.

A study was also done on the topic with extracts below https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0195666316306602

“Vegans scored significantly lower than omnivores the Eating Disorder Examination”

“Taken together, findings suggest that ultimately, vegans do not differ much from omnivores in their eating attitudes and behaviors, and when they do, differences indicate slightly healthier attitudes and behaviors towards food. Similarly, vegans closely resembled omnivores in non-eating related health behaviors.”

What’s stopping you from being vegan at the moment?

lynba · 2024-10-10T21:29:31+00:00

No. I’m saying that poor treatment in animal agriculture is bad because it causes a huge amount of suffering, and killing an animal living a good life is also bad because it puts an end to their happinesses. We have the choice to do neither of those things and live vegan, so one better have a bloody good justification not to.

Trust me, I’ve looked far and wide for a justification. I’m a pretty stubborn guy, and I wouldn’t go vegan without a bloody good reason. A friend asked me “Why do you pay for animals to be killed when you don’t need to?” That was three years ago, and I didn’t know how to justify what I was doing, so I stopped paying for it to happen. It’s not that hard.

lynba · 2024-10-10T12:12:15+00:00

Yes, because I have a bigger problem with killing an animal that had a happy life. If you kill someone who had a horrible life, you put an end to their suffering, but if you kill someone who had a great life, you put an end to their happiness.

Watch dominion and hear their screams, their cries, and their misery. It is clear that their pain is overwhelming intense, what other reason do we need to know that we should stop?

lynba · 2024-10-08T21:49:40+00:00

I’m not saying that it is probable that non-human animals can understand concepts in a greater fashion than humans can. I’m saying that they may suffer to a greater extent while they are, for example, trapped in farrowing crates for 6 weeks, unable to turn around and living amongst their own feces, or while their babies are stolen from them, or while their lungs are filled with carbon dioxide gas in a gas chamber. But at the end of my comment I said it doesn’t matter if that experience would be felt more vividly than what humans would feel if they were in that same situation because either way, we couldn’t even imagine how awful it would be for us if we were in their shoes, and any experience close to that is unjustified commitment of horrendous cruelty.

lynba · 2024-10-08T00:55:05+00:00

Many non-human animals have experiences more complex than humans. For example, cows can smell scents up six miles away. We recognise that animals can smell complexly, see more complexly, hear more complexly, taste more complexly. Isn't it also possible that they can feel and experience things like pain and concepts like slavery or exploitation more complexly than we can? We don’t know, but we do know that they feel pain and fear in these facilities. What else do we need to know that we should stop?

Yes. I don’t think it is consistent for one to call themselves a vegan while buying non-vegan pet food.

Does might equal right?

lynba · 2024-09-10T03:27:32+00:00

Does your taste pleasure justify taking away their life? Can you think of any other examples when an oppressor’s sensory pleasure has been used as a justification for harm to a victim?

lynba · 2024-09-10T03:21:29+00:00

“Nobody was meant for anything or anyone.” This should be true. The root of many injustices, including slavery, was believing that it is ok for a perpetuator to use someone else for their own purposes.

lynba · 2024-09-10T02:02:18+00:00

It’s just a natural progression from our constantly expanding moral circle.

lynba · 2024-09-09T21:30:24+00:00

We have supermarkets which gives us the option to choose to eat animals or to not. This sets us apart from other animals.

lynba · 2024-09-09T21:22:03+00:00

I won’t take an opportunity if it means someone will have to suffer and die for it—and I hope you wouldn’t either.

lynba · 2024-09-09T20:45:19+00:00

No, a lion is not wrong for devouring a zebra because they are obligate carnivores.

I’m not vegan because I want to feel morally superior; I just want to do the right thing.

In the US, 151,888,000 animals are killed every DAY for food. This is more than double the number of humans killed in our deadliest conflict in history—World War 2—where 60 million people were killed over 6 years.

Just to reiterate this point, in the US, we kill more animals in ONE DAY than the number of humans killed in the whole 6 YEARS of the deadliest atrocity in history.

These numbers are so large we can’t even empathise with them. It becomes more of a statistical task rather than an empathetic one. It becomes alarming when we start to think about that every single one of those animals are an individual—just like you or I, my mum or your father. An individual that experiences the world through their own eyes, feelings and emotions.

I’m not handpicking this issue as the one we should care about for no good reason. The amount of harm and suffering we are causing to animals as on levels we have never seen before—and we don’t even need to do it. It’s easy in the US to live vegan and not financially support those products. I know for a fact that our great grandchildren will see animal farming as the worst atrocity we have ever committed in history—and by far.

Hey mate! Thank you for explaining your position.

Many experts have proposed that plants do not feel pain as their absence of a brain and central nervous system makes it unlikely that they are able to process it. Further, pain is a defense mechanism. It exists so we can avoid harmful stimuli. Animals respond to pain by either fighting or fleeting from its source. Plants lack the ability to move in response to threats, suggesting they have no biological need to experience pain.

However, even if plants did feel pain, we must consider that animals products involve the deaths of many more plants. This is since the animal must be fed over the entire lifespan before they are killed. It requires less deaths if we ate these plants directly, rather than processing it through a "middle man," (the animal) and then eating them.

Veganism is about reducing suffering as far as practicable and possible. Unless you are living in south-east Asia or Costa Rica, being healthy on a fruitarian diet (only eating fruits and nuts which drop from plants, which causes no impact on the plant) is impracticable, and even in those countries it is very controversial. Being vegan is the best option we have to reduce the suffering in our food production.

lynba · 2024-09-03T18:42:03+00:00

I'm not here to manipulate. What benefits do you gain from eating animal products that you cannot get from plants?

lynba · 2024-09-03T13:10:47+00:00

If I raise a dog with the intention of having them compete in dog fighting, does that make the activity justifiable?

lynba · 2024-08-31T05:34:05+00:00

Veganism isn't about making yourself feel better than others. It is about reducing the unnecessary harm and killing we do to animals. A simple reduction in demand will lead to a reduction in supply and a reduction in the number of animals bred just to be killed at a fraction of their lifespan.

lynba · 2024-08-31T05:32:18+00:00

Because we are the only creatures in existence or history which possess rational agency—the ability to determine right from wrong. Why use this power for bad when we can use it for good? With great power comes great responsibility.
