Of course! But maybe …
- Comment on Why is the USA attacking Iran? 3 days ago:
It’s because Russia is not in a position to provide aid as they are tied up in Ukraine. They need those S400 themselves (they even asked Turkey to give back some of the ones they sold to them).
This is the 4th time a Russian strategic partner was hit by the US (Syria, Venezuela and now Iran for the 2nd time) and Russia couldn’t do jack shit about it. It makes them look very bad and unreliable as a strategic partner, so I highly doubt Putin wants that.

You’re right, I fucked up.
- Comment on Why is the USA attacking Iran? 3 days ago:
Yeah, he did. Ironically he called it a "cynical violation of all norms of human morality and international law”.
- Comment on Why is the USA attacking Iran? 3 days ago:
Iran is one of the main supports and weapon suppliers for Russia … Putin is not happy about this.

Totally fine. Same goes for charging your phone on a laptop charger.

This is lemmy … and if there were no consequences I’d probably murder a billionaire or two. But yeah, it’s not a power I should think should be granted to the general population. I’d probably abuse it after a while …

I have my list ready.
- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 1 week ago:
Well, the broad consensus allows society to adopt laws and actually enforce them, which is really cutting down on murders being committed. So that’s good for anyone that is living in a society.
Also I personally don’t get the appeal of murdering people, so I don’t feel a need to accommodate people that do. Feels detrimental to myself.

Haha, I actually typed out a version of my comment with alien shapeshifters as a solution. And then it really depends on what their intentions are. Still, if you managed to fool humans into being humans, they’re obviously a species that is beyond being livestock.

I think it really depends on what these “human-similes” actually are. Are they just humans with maybe a genetic defect or people affected some environmental poison that causes neurological damage? In that case, they’re still clearly human in my opinion.
Or are they basically dumb monkeys that just look similar to humans (which of course means, they never were human to begin with, so this no longer fit’s into the premise of the previous comment)?
I don’t think that “intelligence” is that important of a factor when it comes to deciding which animals you can eat. It’s really about if they are human or not. Like, personally I wouldn’t eat the closely related monkeys, both, because I think they are kind of endangered and it feels a bit weird that they are so closely relate to us. But if there is a way to reasonably/legally eat monkey somewhere and people do it, I won’t condemn them too hard for it.
- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 1 week ago:
Absolutely not. And I’m quite happy that we live in a society where the vast majority of people agree that they shouldn’t.
- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 1 week ago:
Tomorrow we discover there’s an amount of (what we thought were) human population that is not really human
Well, it would depend on how good the evidence for that classification is, but I find it quite hard to fathom how that could work out. How can they be a “human population” but than turn out not to be? Either they are humans or they aren’t. We have like taxonomic definitions backed up by DNA data for that.
But trying to just run with it, I’d say if a population can pass as fellow humans and we only single them out because of a technicality, then I’d probably still consider them human, so I wouldn’t agree with the governments decision. Passing a IRL turing test has to count for something.

Is it right for a serial killer to kill humans because they get enjoyment out of it?
Well, not in my opinion. But there is probably some serial killers that do think that they are right in doing so.
- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 1 week ago:
Yes. The difference is that we are humans in a human society and cows are our food.
- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 1 week ago:
Nope, guilty of both.
- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 1 week ago:
Same reason anything “is” wrong, because it feels wrong. Just my subjective opinion.
- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 1 week ago:
Again, I can’t answer the question, because I do not think owning slaves is ok and I can’t imagine how somebody that does think is ok, thinks about rape, because that person is not me.
- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 1 week ago:
I can’t really answer that because I’m apparently having different moral values in this hypothetical scenario.
- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 1 week ago:
No, because owning humans is wrong.
- Comment on Never understood this. If something foreign enters you your white blood cells go after it like a dog in heat, Would this not mean that our cells are smart enough to discern bad from good? 1 week ago:
It’s never lupus!
- Comment on Never understood this. If something foreign enters you your white blood cells go after it like a dog in heat, Would this not mean that our cells are smart enough to discern bad from good? 1 week ago:
All cells are covered in little bumps called antigens. Your body contains antibodies that bind to antigens on foreign cells. Your white blood cells then only attack cells that have antibodies attached to them.
So it’s not about good/bad, but really just about which cells are your own and which are foreign.

You can get consent from the cows owner. Definitely don’t inseminate some else’s cow without asking.
