I think your argument works if someone is stealing the beef.
If they are buying it then that is directly funding that "90%".

- Comment on Is there a "canvas" of the universe? Do we even know? Would a canvas follow the same laws as the paint? 6 months ago:
As i understand it it (somewhere between barely and not at all) the idea is not that It's "expanding" in the sense of a balloon inflating into the space around it.
Its more stretching internally.So the distance (or time it would take at constant speed) between any 2 points is geting bigger.
You could maybe also say it'd take more energy to move between the points in a set time.There's probably nothing outside, but the distances inside get longer.
It's probably something to go with gravity, momentum and entropy. The actual concept of "distance" between things might not be what we think.
But all these theories give rise to the concet of large amounts ob unobserved 'dark' mattter and evergy, so the actual basis of currently observable fact (i.e. energy / mass) is a small fraction of what is needed for these theories to work.

I'm glad I don't identify with whatever oop considers a culture.
It sounds like that culture spends too much time discussing pointless shit.I really enjoyed my morning crap, I'm quite glad it ended when it did.
Anyone who calls it a failure is to be exiled.
If i were allowed into (or applied to join) a culture involving others, that's what we'd be talking about.Apparently something about the history of the greeting "Ca va?"
might have something to do with with "how is your poo doing?" - Comment on Karl Barx gets it. 6 months ago:
Bilbo Bagshot : I used to know this guy, Minty. He had a dog who he'd train to attack rich people. He was into the whole class-war thing. He called the dog Gramsci after an Italian Marxist. Rumor has it, it could smell wealth from up to 20 feet. The thing is, it all backfired. Minty won 100 grand on a scratchcard and Gramsci bit his knees off.
Tim : That's terrible.
Bilbo Bagshot : Not really. He used the money to buy new knees.

I thought Disney was "nearly a requirement" . . . sounds to like those precious few who can manage without might have some useful information.
Typically this is what happens in a free competitive market, when a price goes up people look for substitutes.
And if they face constraints in moving to the substitute, they will benefit from help in loosening those constraints. - Comment on I'm not a drunk. I'm just living clean. 7 months ago:

Normally I like to treat questions like telephone calls; ignore them for as long as you can and hope they go away.
I guess that is basically defensive but maybe "passive defensive".
It's what I do to viruses too. - Comment on Ghostbusters Needs To Go Away, Maybe Forever | Giant Freaking Robot 7 months ago:

yeah, my dad was an immigrant, and said a surprising amount of the immigrant commuity has a "pull up the drawbridge" mentality.
they're still probably in a minority of a minority though - but loud like other self obsessed arseholes.creating a perception of competition for work, or status or whatever, as a zero sum game is the same as the fearmongering that the racists try to use to get moderate working class peoople on their side.

- Comment on How can I compare the money saved when buying an item in bulk? 1 year ago:
this is basically the start point and at relatively close scales will work pretty well.
this can also be expressed as a 2 in 10 (20%) bulk discount.
you can add on adjustments if you can estimate other factors like the admin cost (of your time) per transaction, a defect rate cost or spoilage, cost of storage and transportation and so on.
These overheads can sometimes be shared across other products, especially transport and storage.for longer term stuff you might want to translate this into an equivalent annual (or longer ) cost per year/day of consumption that covers expected consumption with your safety margin.
if you need to account for every element of you cost base to the nearest penny then it can get pretty complicated - but if you're prepared to make simplifying assumptions like:
"It doesn't spoil over time",
"I already have some unused space",
"i don't need insurance on storage.",
"i'm going to ignore any adjustments lower than 0.001 cents per unit (a materiality threshold)"Whether those assumptions are a good idea or not, depends upon the wider context.

- Comment on Is there a more politically conservative part of the fediverse? 1 year ago:
you probably have to convince more people with those views to switch away from their other social media.
i suspect moderate conservative people are maybe more likely to stay with status quo/ monolithic / non-distributed services, so there won't be as many moving to a new looser open source thing.
like i bet linux / open source / foss users are a little bit more likely to be liberal or socialist (or DGAFs) - at least insofar as they're choosing on principles of ownership and user rights rather than affordability - its sort of linked-in to those licenses which inherently disempower the individual creator of the IP (vs say a patent) and empower the end users and people who want to reuse the IP in a different ways. That's basically a liberal ownership model vs a capitalist one - to grossly oversimply.
conservatives are maybe more likely to be buying proprietary services from microsoft, oracle, or amazon/google ( pay someone else to run your linux /postgres for you!), if they're happy eating all that shit from them, reddit is probably fine.

- Comment on Why is the consumption of Meat considered bad 1 year ago:
I'm not a meat eater personally.
But I don't understand why people who like to eat meat don't eat human.
I think there are, or have been, some who do. It's seems cultural, and a bit of a luxury to be wasteful.I don't think there's any socially agreed line between "good" and "bad".
I reckon people mostly do what their culture prefers or tolerates.
Different cultures have different ranges of acceptable behavior from different people fulfilling different roles within them . Most people are members of many sub-cultures going right down to small family groups , professional associations, work-teams, sports teams and so on. There'll be some sort of consequence for transgression, maybe verbal shaming, spitting in someone's beer, withheld services, exclusion from jobs, or expulsion from the group.Sometimes people (in power) agree to put in laws and expend resources on enforcement instead of cultural norms; probably because the clashes within or between (sub)cultures and the inconsistent treatment of transgressions becomes too costly or disruptive.
That's when you get a "line" that says "wrong", once its been put into an enforced law. Even then the law, and enforcement, is always still a bit blurry. partial, and biassed so it's really just a formalisation of the process for administering the consequences of transgression.i think it is possible to find things that look similar in other social animals too like, other apes, wild dogs, things with pecking orders , rats and so on. I wonder if there are even roles similar to " police" in some non-human cultures?
