The technology needed to inhabit Mars would 100% benefit the life on earth. Just lookup all the tech we got from the Apollo missions.

You can’t do that with personal information like the ones doctors needs transcribed. It has to be local.

Do electrical engineer with renewable or environmental focus and you’ll have a more even ratio.

Time to introduce the guillotine then

I instinctively closed your comment after reading “short attention span” because I knew what you were going to say. Had to go back to comment because I realise the irony.

I agree with your arguments. We’re on the same side of all of this.

I disagree on having to remove one if both are bad. It would be like the trolley problem. 10 people suffer repeatedly indefinitely vs infinitely many suffering eventually. Moving all use to sugar cane will be worse for the environment than spreading some honey and some sugar cane. See my previous monocultulturalism point.

Personally I think honey vs sugar cane is equal, so for me the choice is bad either way. I don’t know which is worse, I try to use less, but what I use I feel is ambivalent, so I use both.

I am not vegan, but simply trying to understand how honey is bad, but as you say “unavoidable collateral damage of agriculture” or not.

There are many ways agriculture could be less harm, less pesticides, less monotone growing practices, more spread out growing. We do not have to accept these practices to not starve.

I don’t think honey collecting is worse than agriculture (even of direct plants for human consumption), so I don’t think vegans should discount honey.

Do you avoid all sugar products, or just honey?

Sugar growing also kills animals. You cannot avoid all harm, so why discount honey for the harm you know, but not discounting harm from growing sugar?

Reducing harm, sure, but it seems selective to discount honey for small amount of harm, when other things you (assumed) eat do equal (potentially unknown to you) harm.

Do you need to know every process of growing/transporting something to eat it? Or does you list of edible products shrink as you learn every new form of harm?

(Strawman)

Killing a few bees when collecting honey

Vs

Killing a lot of insects and rodents when plowing/tilling land to grow sugarcane/corn(sirup).

Why discount one but not the other if they are equal?

I came here for rpg, not :.|:;

You both agree on the problem, it’s just big and encompasses all both of you said. Using the term “unhoused people” just shifts the narrative to “we just need to put them in houses”, be that new government funded housing projects, or changing regulations to dissalow empty houses, or stopping short term rental from eating central houses in cities.

Oh yeah. I thought you meant how they are used culturally. Because we have many nok-berries with berry in their name.

Berries, insects

Damn autocorrect striking again.

At least he posted on the right community.

“THE” weekend, singular.

End (noun) 3. “The point in time when an action, event, or phenomenon ceases or is completed; the conclusion.”

Cptsd people as well

The word play, Love that! Succinct point put beautifully. Well done!

Drink that BEFORE going to bed and you will not even have a hangover. You feel hungover because you are dehydrated. If you hydrate before being dehydrated you will not be dehydrated.

It’s not wanting a label, it’s struggling to fit in and being tired of it. Finding people like yourself is how you fit in, and if you fit with some people and they have a label, you checkup on it yourself and find an explanation of why you didn’t fit in in the first place.

If you feel you fit in without knowing who you might fit in with, that is great, and you don’t need to have a label. But some people find it easier to find like minded people if they match labeles.
