Just a silly feller
I am a vegan and applaud your moral consistency. News articles like this are full of fake outrage by people who support the animal ag industry that commits worse crimes at massively larger scales every single day. In regards to animal welfare this guy and the puppy killer are only very marginally worse than anyone else.
edit: obligatory downvotes by people who want to be mad at animal abuse while supporting animal abuse.
I’m allowed to be concerned about you. We’re all internet strangers, and your way of talking to people is obviously rubbing people the wrong way.
Why are you like this? Try and put your thoughts into a coherent point instead of just asking a bunch of inane questions.
Is your point that you think ‘enthusiasm’ is a made up metric? Ok, cool, great job, you cracked politics.
The comments are funny but if you read the article he just did it for the bit. Apparently he changed quite a bit over that time and regretted being an angry forum nerd, so he thought it would be funny to do one last post and abandon the account.
The funniest part of this is that it didn’t have the one song I expected: https://youtu.be/ZvSgLHWR16o?si=_bKjOUbXmsuLZi0w
Yeah this threw me as well. The US is so religious I hardly think this would be controversial.
Neigh. The picture is only showing from the (human) wrist down. Horse legs and most (all?) mammal quadruped legs actually pretty closely resemble each other.
Welp, that about sums it up.
I could be totally wrong here since I don’t have a great understanding of how these processes worked. So downvote if you will but I’d like to be corrected.
Does this even really matter when in a lot of cases the ‘experts’ were often paid to say whatever corporations wanted anyhow? See the current climate crisis and all the ‘experts’ that guided policy and enabled it.
Obviously letting the courts just go by whatever their guts tell them isn’t the answer, but some sort of a best guess based on a large enough scientific consensus?
I got into sewing so I do use an iron, but even then half the time I’m lazy and don’t even press my seams. I’m not very good at sewing as a result, but I have a good time all the same.
you can do both if you just choose not to care about wrinkled clothes.
I would argue that there’s also lots of professionals who don’t use or need those features. Not everyone is using photoshop for print work, which that link seems to mostly discuss. It is still true, though, and every time I try to switch away from photoshop I run into some niche missing feature I need that most people wouldn’t care about.
You may be surprised. I use Photoshop in my profession and I am desperately trying to move away from it. Not just because of the obvious Adobe is the worst, but it has been getting progressively worse to use for me. I don’t speak for everyone of course but at least for me there’s really only a few very small things that would make me switch instantly.
Photoshop just infuriates me lately, you’d think with all their employees they’d figure out how not to lose my hotkeys every automatic update, or that I’ve been using it for over a decade and don’t need annoying tutorial popups for every tool.
The priorities of a large company can often be opposed to making their software better, like adding AI into everything or adding new features nobody really needs so they can have a flashy presentation at some conference, or deprecating features in order to move people to their latest acquisitions program instead.
Blender is a great example of open source being totally viable for replacing commercial software. I use it professionally and it’s never been a limiting factor for me.
This is very common for a lot of these programs, I’m not actually sure about Gimp, but Photoshop, Krita and Affinity Photo all let you. Same with a lot of the other digital art programs I use for work.
Who are you trying to convince?
Obviously I’d prefer it if you didn’t eat animals but I’m actually chill with just being more mindful about what you support. If you’re going out of your way to try and minimise the harm you’re doing then that’s better than most people.
And at least you recognise the environmental harm. The only thing that really annoys me is people lying about these things.
They might not like it but they sure do tolerate it happening to an animal they like the taste of and don’t actually have to see it themselves.
Yeah, an AP picture was posted to twitter and then the photographer was banned lol.
