Don’t worry, no one’s gonna think you’re nice

When an innocent person is killed, even if you mistakenly thought they really really deserved it, that’s murder. What do we do with murderers? We kill them. But if one supports a system that murders, they become party to that murder. I’m not keen on being a part of a murder system, no matter how occasional.

Alternatively, to appeal to the selfish, if one is willing to allow a few innocents to die for a broken system to function, they they’d better be okay with being one of those innocents.

Either way, I don’t trust the state to decide who lives and dies.

How high are you stacking your bread

Ah, I see. I would argue it’s a bigger jump than how you’re presenting it, but your point makes a lot more sense to me now. Thanks for the elaboration!

“Mars has been making pet foods for over thirty years. Branching into pet care isn’t a huge stretch.”

I made a matching comparison to human food and human medical care. To my reading, it’s exactly the same, and I don’t understand your reply now. But I admit I’m curious to the distinction you’re seeing, if you’re willing to elaborate.

General Mills has made food for a long time, but if they wanted to open a hospital and do surgery on me, I think that would indeed be a huge stretch.

People at VCA are doing their best, I personally know this to be true. But the dystopian corporate bullshit they have to deal with is epic. These people are worse off for VCA being their boss, I promise you.

Are you sure they’re independent? A lot of these chains (Thrive, Lakefield, etc) have gotten clever and let the hospitals keep their historic name after purchase. These private equity groups own every hospital but 2 or 3 in my immediate area.

I disagree with you on this and various other points you’ve made here, but I appreciate you taking the time to elaborate your viewpoint.

What’s silly about the paradox of intolerance? Why does it not apply to defederating here? I don’t grasp it’s purported lack of relevance.

Are these the kind of meaningful debates you have with MAGA?

Is that the only thing you can rebut out of all of that?

Some might even call this million years battle a cold war

Is it truly untested, or do you just lack that particular data?

How many Jersey cows have bee n tested in these circumstances?

Thank you so much, I was worried I’d have to scale back my gaming significantly

I installed Mint recently but a lot of my games don’t show as playable. I’m not as tech-savvy as I was 20 years ago, so I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Any advice?

Do you have a recommended flavor of Linux for gaming?

I’ve been struggling with figuring out how to get google off my phone. I don’t know if I’m doing a bad job of searching or if I’m just dumb, but are there any good communities in Lemmy you can recommend on the topic?
