- Comment on Extinctions 2 days ago:
Agreed! I like what they contribute but their now extinct forebears just bring a lot more flavour - and lightheartedness, I think.
Hahaha this is what I get for not double checking a word I wasn’t sure of. Thank you, correctly used this time around :)

I’ve realized that I miss the extants and feel like the internet is a less beautiful place without LOLOLOL face

Feel free to correct if I’m wrong, but my understanding is basically an attempt at accounting for all civilization-collapsing-level catastrophic event. Maybe not global, but massive-scale
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 week ago:
In my experience, your first sentence sums it up nicely.
They assume a moral high ground because they’ve adopted a diet that is generally deemed healthier and better for the environment (I don’t always agree with this).
But unless they’re also doing all the things we could all do better (e.g. not buying new, not upgrading the the latest and greatest, not taking 40 minute showers, not eating out every second day), they’re only somewhat less guilty of environmental damage than the average person, they’re taking a generally undeserved “holier than thou” position and then shoving it down your throat. This isn’t everyone, and I don’t really care what you eat, but these are the vegans that get under my skin.
- Comment on Imagine denying other living and breathing lifeforms agency to thrive amd change lol lol lol 1 week ago:
Okay curious question. There’s a legal movement arguing that nature should be protected by law/be considered when undertaking things that might affect it (esp. resource development).
Does anybody with any legal knowledge know if this would create some kind of legal precedent? Obviously it’s not enshrined in written law, but a tree that owns itself (even by mutual agreement) seems to suggest it’s somewhat plausible, and it’s not like laws always make sense lol. Or am I just reading too much into this?

Not a realisticoutcome, but he deserved to have been blood eagled. Real torture/execution or not, fuck Hitler
- Comment on I'm working on it, ok? 1 month ago:
I’ve developed a bit of a variation on this: Don’t buy it unless you’re willing to put that number again into savings/investment. A little more strict, but also forces a careful analysis of short term-wants vs. long-term goals. Caveat: obviously some major expenses don’t qualify, but are necessary regardless.

I actually find myself wondering lately “what’s so bad about stable (+/- 5%/annum) profits for some stretches of time.” Sure you’re not eating up market share, but a couple million in the pocket every year really isn’t that bad…
I… May not be cut out for capitalism…
