Isn't the problem more that it's now in cows and people in the US are refusing to stop buying it? Even worse, they are buying it on purpose?

- Comment on California to become third state to mandate heat protections for indoor workers 1 week ago:
Oregon and Minnesota are the only other states that mandate similar protections.
😱 3/50 states require employers to provide water, breaks and cool areas when indoor temperatures hit 28C???
The USA is third world country and first world country at the same time. Just fucking crazy.
- Comment on So would he call this a win or a loss? 1 week ago:
God cannot be refuted nor confirmed. It's like unicorns, elves, dragons, and many other myths: we have not seen proof of their existence, nor have any claimed proofs of their existence been confirmed to be a valid, but that doesn't rule out that we will never find proof.
Such is my understanding science: there is no absolute certainty nor absolute confidence. I think only logical fallacies might never exist e.g an all-powerful creator immediately runs into the logical problem of "can god create a rock that it itself cannot lift?".
But what if our universe were just a simulation within a machine of a highly advanced species? Their ability to modify the simulation to their will might make them akin to gods for us, but that also incurs the question: what if they were in a simulation themselves? That can be repeated to the root until a "real world" is reached, but that still leaves the question: how did everything come to be?
We can thus cut out all the "if god exists, who created god" and focus on a world without the need to get distracted by the god problem. - Comment on US supreme court sides with Starbucks in union case over fired employees 1 week ago:
Yes, blame everything on the system. Americans are just drones guided by the system by a deluge of ads, indoctrination by the media, school, and government. Taught to consume from the day they exit the womb, every American mindless follows the lifescript incapable of individual thought. A nation of puppets blabbering about freedom, being #1, and the American dream.
Sure, if that's what you want to believe.
- Comment on Movie Trailers Are Killing Movies 2 weeks ago:
Trailers nowadays reveal all the major plot points or nothing at all. Sometimes I'll watch a trailer and know how generic it is, and sometimes I'll watch it not knowing a single thing about the movie.
The best way to watch a trailer nowadays is just the first 30-60 seconds. If you don't know what's going on after that timespan, it's not worth watching, but any longer and you'll know too much.

Planet earth.

I don't think I'm clever, I think I'm right.
Most Americans consume without a second thought. It's not a surprise they are the biggest polluters, consumers, and wasters on the planet.

Ha ha ha, I don't get the point, so I'll project my incomprehension with a comic.
- Comment on US supreme court sides with Starbucks in union case over fired employees 2 weeks ago:
You didn't ask to be born there, but you don't have to belong to the group of Americans that consume without any regard.
Also, how is knowingly buying products from anti-union companies a "leap of logic"? Do you even know what that means?
You don't need to buy Apple products to function in society, nor do you need Starbucks products, nor do you have to use Amazon. There are small local retailers you can support, as well as fair trade products, second hand goods you can purchase, and a lot more.Friggin' iPhone lovers get triggered so easily.

I can't admit I'm part of the problem, so I'm not

Americans while their unionization efforts are being destroyed: guess I'll buy another iPhone/venti latte/amazon product/...

- Comment on IGN immediately lays off every non-UK person at their newly bought sites, including some key members like debuty editor Alice Bell 5 weeks ago:
Because content distributors haven't thought of another way to get money. The only other thing they came up with is subscriptions. Some have thought of donations, but they haven't banded together to come up with an alternative. It's weak and totally mid.
- Comment on Why has no one thought of this before?! 5 weeks ago:
Very elaborate and snarky answer. Love it
- Comment on IGN immediately lays off every non-UK person at their newly bought sites, including some key members like debuty editor Alice Bell 5 weeks ago:
I disagree. Ads are not the answer. Treating them as such is simply giving up.

We need more worker owned associations and more workers' rights. This is ridiculous.

Also the anti nuclear green think tanks are called educated people.
LMAO. Your brain must be so much bigger than that of physicists who are proponents of nuclear energy. Mr "disagreement with my opinion means you're wrong".
Very convincing argumentation

The principles that it won't be profitable for 50+ years if at all.
Sure, and your source for that is a green politician or an anti-nuclear thinktank?
So I'm all for doing anything to survive, preferably sometime in the last 50 years.
"Anything" for greens somehow doesn't include nuclear for greens 🤷♂

The greens are principle over matter.

I have no problem with this. I block the community, not the content. If there's something political going on, the opinions of nazis don't matter to me, but the opinions of everybody else might.
