i am more than willing to engage on any positive claim you want to make (i probably agree with a lot of them). what i’m not willing to do is tolerate personal attacks and dogpiling.

I never suggested it does. I said eating meat isn’t mean.

they’re dead before they’re butchered. they’re butchered before they’re sold. eating meat can’t possibly be mean. a dead butchered animal doesn’t need it’s meat.

this article relies on poore-nemecek 2018, and should not be considered reliable itself

they’re different because they are people, and they are real.

eating meat is not mean

my issue is with the methodology. if you read the references in the poore-nemecek paper for the LCA data, they explicitly state LCA data should not be combined, since it is gathered using disparate methodologies. those studies themselves do combine LCA studies, but poore-nemecek goes on to combine multiple meta studies, and never even acknowledge the problems with this methodology.

that relies on poore-nemecek 2018, which is problematic. you might be right but your link isn’t good evidence.

my municipality fought the USDA redistricting in the 1980s and kept the hamlet where my house is in the program.

I know a lot of you are urbanites, but for anyone who isn’t, check out the USDA 502 direct loan program

I ran into an issue last night with HDMI failing to be assigned as the audio output. a reboot fixed it but idk what the problem really is it how to prevent it.

been full time on Debian 15 years, and full time on Linux 21 years.

education is a fair use exception, too

how could you be responsible for that? they did it without your knowledge, and without knowing whether anyone would set up or donate to the GoFundMe.

when I buy meat in a shelf, the animal is already dead, the killer has been paid, and I’m not the one who pays them. none of the facts are the same EXCEPT that someone got paid to do a killing.

conspiracies don’t need to be secret.

you are engaging in an immoral conspiracy. no such conspiracy exists between me and slaughterhouses. your analogy is broken, and you should stop trying to make it work.

it’s too late. animal agriculture exists, and will continue whether I eat meat or not.

animal agriculture existed before anyone ever bought meat. purchasing meat didn’t cause animal agriculture.

that’s not what happens in the meat industry. the animal is already dead, and everyone involved is already paid long before I walk into a grocery store. it’s not a conspiracy.

unless farmers don’t have free will, the only thing that can be said to cause them to farm is their own choice.

Animal consumption causes factory farming

no, it doesn’t
