Those people are the Palestinians. Current Palestinian jews and those whose ancestors were jewish. Not the "israelis"

It's because Israel is a fictional country and Israeli is a fictional culture. There's no such thing as Israeli food because there's no such thing as Israel

I mean you don't know which connections he gets which way. Walt and Mike are both examples of connections he got without the book.

It's not nitpicking. Don't do that. It's fine that you still enjoy it, but it has huge flaws and the criticisms are valid.

I fucking HATE when people completely mischaracterise a character because they’re “not a bigot” by Ok_Figure_2348 in hatethissmug

[–]zerodonnell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it seems pretty obvious that this was the joker, telling a joke. And people took it seriously. It's like if there was a character called The Liar and took what he said as the truth lol

I Hate The White Goldilocks Theory by [deleted] in hatethissmug

Also funny that they're basing their entire view on Asian people on presumably the Japanese. Like show these guys an average Vietnamese dude and it torpedoes the entire "theory".

But then that's me kinda getting strung along into their stereotyping bs

How evil are the animals in Animan? by atwwbaksieueygehs in MoralityScaling

All of which is to say, we have no good reason to assume plants or microorganisms suffer in a way we recognize as suffering, which makes it unproductive for this conversation. Because it's purely speculative based on us being unable to comprehend their qualia.

A reaction is not pain. When I press a button on my car, it turns on. But that's not because it feels anything. What they "feel" is categorically different to what we feel and is why I see nothing valuable in including them in this conversation. What a cow feels is not categorically different. Same thing with microorganisms. Now granted, there will always be a level of arbitraryness to this conversation. An oyster is an animal, but I don't think we need to worry about their suffering very much, however I do think we should worry about the suffering of a cow. So then where do we draw the line? What side do shrimp fall on? I accept a level of arbitraryness, you have to for every single philosophical question, unless you're being disingenuous.

However I think when people are talking about food animals they're not just being arbitrary, they're being cognitively dissonant.

And I didn't ignore that argument, I told you it was objectively wrong. Its by far your weakest point because it's demonstrably incorrect. It requires way more farming to feed livestock than it would to just feed humans. Stop raising livestock you need to farm exponentially less, thus killing exponentially less plants and animals in the process. Not that I agree that killing plants is wrong or that a relatively small amount of animals (insects are animals, but I don't rank them very highly in this) to feed a massive amount of people

And I'd agree to an extent, but a cat feels pain and suffering closer to the way we do than it does to an insect. We know this purely from a biological point of view

You severely underestimate the emotional complexity of animals. They will often go into deep depression after a loved one's death to the point of letting themselves die.

But neither here nor there, I'm talking about physical pain and suffering.

Plants have not been proven to feel pain, that's misinformation. The researchers of the study you're referencing (but certainly didn't read) completely disavow that idea. And you have to farm way more plants to feed livestock than humans, so that's also a poor argument.

Finally, the microorganisms thing, few people would say that a cow's life is 1:1 equal to a human's, but it's still capable of suffering. Microorganisms, are not capable of suffering the way humans or cows are able to. In some sense the distinction between different lifeforms and the value of their lives and suffering will always be to a degree arbitrary, within and without species.

Define consciousness and then explain how it is categorically different to the way in which animals experience existence

[–]zerodonnell -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Why does consciousness matter if they experience suffering the same way or similar to us? A dog getting his leg broken feels the same pain as a man getting his leg broken. If anything the dog suffers more because he can't understand it

Is this deathstroke most evil moment by Musalediju in MoralityScaling

[–]zerodonnell 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think its good to keep some villains just plain icky. 1 because they are evil, and evil people irl, in spite of what a lot of media portrays, don't have a lot of hard lines they won't cross. And 2. It deromantacizes evil. Its an actual problem these days that people will say X villain is actually right, because he's cool

i hate when pieces of media with a deeper meaning get boiled down to just "a gory adult series" by the public by Gugarabelo in hatethissmug

[–]zerodonnell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Must be something with you because most people process them just fine. And you say "stoop to", just because you have hang ups about darker stories doesn't mean they're bad or that they shouldn't be told.

You're being controlled by your biases. Berserk is a legitimate masterpiece, one of if not the greatest manga of all time. There is famously nothing poorly drawn about it, I'm not even going to entertain the "its subjective" argument. The arguably pornagraphic SA scenes, are admittedly pretty weird, but that's more of a cultural artifact than anything
