Well, they have to resist it if they first create the circumstances for it to be made, then decide to do the evil thing. Humans are in fact capable of making moral choices. Their response could be, for example, publishing it themselves or like shutting down.

It’s only inevitable if you assume enough people involved don’t actually care about what is going on and instead choose to make the line go up.

And yet people make laws protecting it, people elect people who make those laws, when given a choice between supporting the industry and not they support the industry. When activists show the horrors people insult and ridicule them.

you just want to feel justified in not going vegan till someone else solved the problem for you.

idk how to tell you this but if you aren’t vegan this is the shit you enthusiastically support. Like you work hours of your life to pay for, you vote to tax people to subsidise it and you support censoring what actually happens.

A humane process is one you would submit yourself to.

Fuck yeah topical reference

Very few people start with big transgressions. Usually stuff escalates.

It’s why need systems that don’t put humans in situations where bad behaviour is incentivised. Also why we need to be forgiving when someone comes forward with a small transgression, so people don’t get stuck in escalating cycles.

I’m sure this guy did some solid research once upon a time.

not real btw. Look at the shadows of the handles at the front.

Very sad, at least my confusion reflex worked correctly. Nonetheless I am crushed.

I’d think rats, except they came over carried on vermin. So who knows.

If you find this upsetting you should see a dairy farm.

you know there’s a standard for the maximum amount of pus permissible in milk?

Do you sauna for 3 hours? or as the experiment is modelling for 5-12? without cooling your body down first?

Idk maybe he was like

Probs just not rich and cops being jackbooted thugs but.

Not really actually. I think tolerance of trans people is actually going backwards, we have never been understood but until recently we were ignored.

Now there is the moral panic about trans kids and sports empowering bigots and normalising shitty opinions. Basically nobody has (at least knowingly) met a trans person but increasingly they have opinions on us.

Most of the bad stuff is institutional though: police violence, healthcare not funded, discrimination protections withheld, and de facto steralisation to get any degree of protection.

Sister, I guess the ridiculous melodrama of my phrasing didn’t cue you into that I’m just teasing.

God I hate the internet, almost as much as I hate prescriptivists.

Language is simply the intrafrastructure by which we touch another’s mind across space and time. If the bridge holds who are you to critique the materials used to construct it? We speak in different ways, and yet we can all communicate. What makes one way superior to another?

WONT SOMEBODY THINK OF THE MILLIONAIRES!

When I was being catch and release hunted in leichhardt by some bored fellas who wanted to kill a trans woman the cops couldn’t spare a patrol as I couldn’t be more specific than “Hiding near the tram station somewhere” but they have time for this shit lmfao.

What a fucking joke of a city.

It’s quite simple. One die can shape many blanks but each time a workpiece goes through a die it is drawn down and loses some mass.

Repeated cold working also tends to embrittle the workpiece, so without extensive annealing (foreplay) a penis will become brittle and snap off.

Oh look. Liberals aligning with facists over paying taxes. Waow. I am so shocked.

Part of the frustration is that because our cities are arse land is too expensive for government projects that would improve them (according to neolib, country-as-household financial theories). Building out the infrastructure for like large battery farms in Syd for example is a nightmare problem for a government afraid to government.

NSW is doing a very neolib plan of subsiding household batteries if you agree to turn your house into a powerplant (details uncertain but presumably incentives to feed the grid and charge during peak times). could help solve the coal dependency as much as it’s not my fav idea.

Australian here:

• not hot all year round. Australia is fucking enormous, it spans the tropics to (just) below the 40th parallel. Some areas are costal and mild, although single digit temps are common in the most populus regions in winter. Inland temps vary wildly.

• Yeah huge polluters, political class gives no shits. Proles are more mixed as usual. We have massive uptake of rooftop solar driven by cost/environmental concern. Pretty solid adoption of EVs and ubiquitous adoption of heat pump based climate control. Very neoliberal culture of buy your way to a solution, no real discussion outside city centres of necessary radical transformations. Energy use is impacted heavily by how fucking awful building codes are and how corrupt the construction regulators are. For example, my house in a temperate rainforest is commonly about 8 C inside during winter, and 38 C during summer. I wear snow gear inside during winter, most people have the choice of dangerous temps or blasting ac, guess what they choose.

• Re solar, we actually have massive uptake of rooftop. However outside of south Australia there has been no real investment in energy storage. Very neolib ''let the market solve it". Wind is getting pushback from farmers and nuclear lobby :(. Location is actually a bit complex, our population is heavily urbanised (>90% in cities. Mostly in 2) but our cities are sprawling nightmares so not a lot of ‘free’ easy to build on space. Severely need densification but the freestanding home is highly valued because our cities suck and property prices are absolutely broken.

It’s crap. The national research institute used to lead the world on renewables but we have had reactionary, neoliberal govs for ~50 years. The way our cities are designed to prevent uprising (prison colony heritage) and systemic racist othering has severely hampered the ability for people to organise and struggle against neoliberalism imho.

Wow, it’s almost like statistical analysis of populations is done in order to discover trends rather than interrogate individual cases in that population.

you can pick any x from X and say “but what about this one” and yet you are still left with the task of explaining the trend in your samples.

Any guesses as to the reasons behind these trends?

Holy shit mate that’s awful. I haven’t had anything that bad but have had problems with spine arthritis constricting nerves.

Spent 2 years begging doctors to take me seriously, idk why but everyone seemed to assume I was exaggerating or hanging out for drugs. It sucked hard, I pretty much lost 2 years of my life to crying on a sofa and drinking through the worst pain.

Idk why this idea of people faking shit is so prevalent.
