Freedom for me but not for thee

- “progressives” who don’t care about animal rights

No

I switched to arkenfox since the librewolf package lagged a bit on arch and I didn’t want to build myself. If sites really break bad (usually I can get around it by disabling some ublock settings), I just open a blank firefox profile

There’s also arkenfox or librewolf

Does it matter if someone has integrity if they always do the right thing?

Lmao look at the blatant “language games” in the bible, prioritizing faith over evidence, allowing owning people as property, sexism, etc. In an interesting twist, the church is the one with a log in its eye trying to get the speck out of atheists eyes

I agree even a little bit of alcohol is unhealthy, but that’s backed up by the science on the topic. Classic psychedelics (shrooms, lsd, mescaline) are extremely safe tho, less impactful to health than an unhealthy meal. If health is that important to you, at least have a consistent and evidence based perspective on it.

Complimenting appearance everyday is a misguided thing to promise, it’s better to compliment things people have more direct control over, and it’s better to understand the person and their love languages and show love in a way that they’ll appreciate the most. Never looking at another woman sexually is an impossible standard which you’re better off not promising.

If you really are a tren goblin you should stop taking unhealthy recreational drugs before you worry about drugs other people use. Like another user said, don’t expect anything you can’t bring to the table for them.

Also, the health of recreational drug use varies wildly. Having one drink of alcohol each night is different to getting very drunk every friday and saturday is different to going on cocaine benders every weekend is different to smoking a bit of weed after work is different to tripping on shrooms once or twice a month. Some of those have huge negative side effects on health, some have zero impact.

Cause they’ll never get to see her do this?

Don’t worry, as long as you’re pondering orb talk you’re still pondering the orb and are on board

Any recs on good NA whiskey?

Weird is neutral on it’s own, it’s context and tone and stuff that gives it positive and negative weight

"you really don’t think that de Dutch NOC would send someone to Paris who IS a real risk? No, he isn’t a risk.”

Given how often powerful groups cover up and protect pedos in their ranks, yeah I do think they would send someone who’s a risk. It’s not surprising, just disappointing

Did you read the study I linked? Do you have a source for your claims? “Just asking questions” is very different to asking for a source, especially when I’ve looked into it and found a study counter to your claim. For the record, I also ask for sources from people who I think are correct or mostly correct: https://slrpnk.net/comment/10039992

Edit: more info on zoos https://faunalytics.org/does-zoo-accreditation-really-mean-happier-animals/

The replacement rate isn’t static. It depends on both how many people exist and how many people are having babies and how many babies they’re having. If the total number of babies per year stays constant, then whether it’s below or above the replacement rate depends on the size of the population. So for a hyper simplified example, if 100 babies are born per yer, that’s below replacement for a population of 110, but above replacement for a population of 90, but overall the population size will trend towards 100. Obviously real life is way more complicated, but even if the birth rate is low now, it’s far more likely we’re just moving towards a different population size, not a population of zero

I wasn’t demanding they educate me, I was curious if they had a source to back up their claim.

The ones being negative are the zoos keeping animals captive for entertainment. The good of conservation and rehabilitation work doesn’t justify that

Edit: I educated myself, turns out my hunch was right and the point I was trying to make stands. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7380022/ “The 40 species of animals bred for release by zoos represented only 14% of all animal species for which conservation translocations were published and only 25% of all animal species that were bred for releases occurring in North America”

We don’t even need zoos to do the conservation work.

Here’s a more general overview https://sentientmedia.org/pros-and-cons-of-zoos/

You’re welcome for the education 😊

I’ve never seen it

Depends on the person, why they’re using it, how often they use it, whether they’re addicted to it or not etc. Probably more acceptable within AA than NA, but idk.

Idk I’ve had pretty good experiences buying used ones (or new-in-box but cheaper on swappa) and using grapheneos

Do you happen to have any stats on the percentage of animals in zoos where the goal is to release them into the wild, and maybe the percentage of ones too injured to ever be able to release?
