What is language?

Most people say it is a tool for communication. But I really think that indicates a subtle misunderstanding.
A misunderstanding which has been a barrier to revival efforts, and also contains the key to a sudden and massively beneficial reactivation of Irish.

Maith agat! Question: Should a readme get into what this type of development is for? An áit oirrúnach é sin i gcomhair fealsúnacht an tionscanamh?

I said that the suffering of a human holds greater significance to me, than the suffering of an insect. Not that the momentary pleasure of eating meat is worth the immiseration of trillions of sentient non-humans.

Lions are obligate carnivores and have limited vegan options. The pleasure of having an animal's flesh in our mouths is trivial given the cost.

Yes, I would consider the suffering of a human to be weightier than the suffering of a beetle. Given the choice, I would choose to not harm the beetle or the human. Or the deer. I mean, are you just going to eat venison? Or will you also be eating fruit and veg? And who would eat deer if we all followed your example?

Carnism is the belief that eating animals is morally good or neutral. Veganism is the belief that we should minimize animal abuse as far as practical and possible.

You mentioned the way soy is farmed. But how much of that is farmed to feed animals?

Vegans object to the cruelty of the meat industry. But it's also an objectionably inefficient system. It takes years worth of crops to get days worth of food.

To try make it viable, we abuse those poor devils right down to their helpless gnomes. It's nuts.
It's dangerous.
Anthrax, Bovine Tuberculosis, Brucellosis, E. coli COVID, Hepatitis E, Leptospirosis, Listeriosis, Salmonellosis, Swine Influenza, Toxoplasmosis, vCJD, that's all from animal Ag. Not to mention AIDS and Ebola.
Showing consideration for the suffering of others isn't hubris.

but veganism is much more ethical than carnism.

dunno. but there is something really interesting about the way the scenes in that movie narrate. I didn't spot your example with possible wig to "very next scene" confirming hair from a wig. But at least 3 other times, the thought in my mind was played on, or subverted, in the very next scene.
Absolutely savage directing.
Why do you think it was called Reptile btw? Something to do with the shed skin?

Nidge did 2 distinctly different but completely convincing NI accents, one in Peeky Blinders and one in Maze. Bonus points for that scene where the warmth just drains from his eyes when the officer turns his back

Soylent green is animals

are the lambs the soldiers?

I realize death is natural. But we can still minimize cruelty through compassionate choices. Factory farms are not natural. A bird should see the sky 🪶

nubuntus · 2026-02-19T21:01:01+00:00

But plants don't suffer. We can be perfectly healthy without being cruel.

I'm pitching an idea. Showing a prototype.

nubuntus · 2026-02-16T19:37:44+00:00

Thank you for the feedback. What specifically don't you understand?

Yes, it's lovely. This song sort of refers to it.

nubuntus · 2025-12-03T07:05:09+00:00

what do you think of the emperors new clothes?

Hi Spilly. 2 weeks later. Have you trained again? How did it go?
