This is something I think about from time to time and essentially get nowhere.

I try and live-capture and release bugs from my house (the only things I actively kill in this regard is mosquitos).I also hunt/fish.

If I saw a deer trapped on a frozen lake I’d go out and rescue it, yet I’d shoot that same deer in a different place under a different context. It’s not really consistent, except in intentionality I suppose.

I do place a higher value on the life of animals that are more “intelligent” (in a way that feels more human) compared to other animals. For example, I’m not upset at all when I use hand sanitizer and presumably wipe out a whole swath of life, but I’m sad if a bird hits a window and dies. Part of that is the intentionality again maybe? The bacteria “had” to die, and the bird didn’t; I’d feel less bad about the bird if I saw a natural predator take it down but it’s still more upsetting than even unintentionally killing an insect.

This is my first exposure to this idea and it’s quite compelling. Couple that with the perceived tone being argumentative instead of inquisitive or ignorant and that’s a recipe for disaster.

The fact the algorithms only care about engagement, positive or negative, means rage bait takes over too so that doesn’t help the perception that a question is actually an attack.

Where’s your source for this? I’ve never noticed it so it must not be happening

Me.

Yes, it wasn’t until the third panel did I notice the arms of the chair and suddenly the person was bald

Whoa o black Betty

I already do. I also want to pay my way.

The problem is what I’d like doesn’t exist (I’m not going to subscribe you a million different websites and still not even be ad free) and probably can’t. How much do all the ads I’m blocking cost? It’d be ripe for abuse but I’d essentially like a taxi meter, but it would charge me for website use from just one central account that I top up or is part of my internet bill or whatever.

I want the whole business model of using ads and tracking to pay for the internet to not exist.

Yes I’m also the same way with ads. I’d happily spend more for internet if there was somehow an “ad surcharge” that would mean I’d never see ads or be tracked. Let me pay whatever the advertisers pay.

Find any decent sized packages? Here it seems they individually wrap them in plastic trays with like 5g servings it’s ridiculous. No, I’m not just going to have 5g! Give me more

They might be talking about a mission? Personally wouldn’t call that trafficking, but it can be pretty brutal depending on the mission

Sounds like The Mirror Has Two Faces

If the movie is anything to go by, the secret will come out and there will be a fight but you’ll also fall in love and become attracted to them before the credits roll

Helico-pter

Second this. It’s also way better than Google maps for downloading and using maps outside of cell service too. I’ve noticed it’s got lots of hiking trails as well

Isn’t the whole thing with renewables that we can’t ramp production with demand and don’t have storage figured out? Use renewables as much as you can, and use nuclear to fill in those gaps.

The storage will probably have a similar lead time anyways and isn’t as proven as nuclear.

I stopped at the PS2…

Both sides, amIright?

In fairness, everyone dies in every political system. Yes I’m fun at parties

As you wish
