Comment by AIhasUse@lemmy.world on Las Vegas' dystopia-sphere, powered by 150 Nvidia GPUs and drawing up to 28,000,000 watts, is both a testament to the hubris of humanity and an admittedly impressive technical feat

You honestly think that factory farm emissions font change if people don’t give them money for their product? If your head was any further down in the sand, the magma would melt it.

Analogies don’t indicate a similar level of morality. They are used to explain points to people who, for some reason, are unwilling or unable to otherwise understand.

i didnt suggest they did. i’m saying that buying food is disanalagous to rape.

edit

to be clear, rape is wrong. buying food is not. you don’t not-rape in order to reduce rape. you don’t-rape because rape is wrong. by contrast, the goal of not-buying meat is to reduce the environmental impact of the meat industry. if that doesn’t work, then not-buying meat is not a moral duty (at least, not for that reason. it’s possible there is some other reason, but that’s not the topic being discussed).

What if you buy food from someone you know murdered children to get it? It’s so obviously wrong that buying food is never an immoral act. If you are interested in having philosophical conversations, then you really need to go back to the basics. At this point, you’re trying to join an archery competition with a nurf toy. There are undeniably immoral ways to get food. Destroying the planet and torturing animals for slightly cheaper food that you do not absolutely need to survive is absolutely immoral. The reason it is so hard for you to see this is because you are an addict making excuses. Not because you are starving and need the cheapest, most despicable food.

I allowed that there may be some reason buying some food might be immoral.

That’s progress! You’re on a good track. Not sure if you’re the same one I sent this link to or not, but if you want to see the living conditions of the animals in the meat system are, here you go. You can judge the morality of it on your own.

you should give it trigger warning before your link gore

this YouTube video sucks

why is the bar “absolute need for survival”?

Because if not, then you are putting your own mere 20 minutes of pleasure higher than entire lives of tight, confined, indoor, away from their children and parents, raped, drugged, mutilated while alive of animals. There is no chance that if an animal was living like this on your property such that you had to see it daily, you wouldn’t save it. As it is, nearly everyone happily hires billionaires to do it for them. Most of the time they hide behind “but I neeeeeed foooood!!!”. I’ve not given those scumbags a penny in many years, and I’m alive, I’m not rich, and I am absolutely well nourished. I’ve recently done multiple marathons.

ou are putting your own mere 20 minutes of pleasure higher than entire lives

the animal is dead long before i decide what to eat. my decision is not a value judgement on their lives.

The fact that you habitually pay people to do that animals is what causes them to do this to future animals. You understand this. It tells something that your best defense is this to excuse your actions.

early everyone happily hires billionaires to do it for them.

no one hires billionaires.

You pay someone to do something for you. Whether this is hiring or paying someone for a service is just semantics. There is an obvious reason why this sort of petty rebuttal is all you are able to use as a response.

I thought we were discussing ecological impacts. this seems to be an entirely different r discussion.

The factory farming industry has very significant ecological impacts. In addition to the extreme suffering and misery that it causes to sentient beings. It’s really a lose-lose.

no one is torturing animals

Guess again. Almost certainly, you are contributing a significant portion of your energy and money to billionaires who torture animals in ways that you would be unable to even watch.

I’ve been wrong plenty before, but I would be astonished if you are capable of even viewing the atrocities that you commit. That’s how disgusting the things people hire billionaires to do in the name of cheap meat it.

this YouTube video sucks

Yeah. It does suck to see what the average person chooses to spend their life paying people to do to animals. It especially sucks if you are one of the people paying them to do it.

I would be astonished if you are capable of even viewing the atrocities that you commit.

i am not in your youtube video at all. don’t lie.

You hire these people because you are too ashamed or disgusted to do it yourself, that’s why you can’t ven view what you pay people to do.

you should give it trigger warning before you link gore

This is what most people are paying to have happen every day.

you accusation of addiction is a personal attack. it has no bearing on the truth of any of the claims I’ve made.

It absolutely does. You would be able to see it if the addiction in question was cheap animal products. Your brain is clouded by the fact that since food is required to live, then no food can be an addiction. You’re simply wrong. You and many people can be addicted to cheap, unhealthy food that harms the planet. As a result of it, you excise your own deplorable behavior.

You’re simply wrong.

saying it doesn’t make it true.

You are right about that. What makes you wrong is what you said, not what I said.

Your brain is clouded

are you a psychologist? are you my psychologist? frankly, you are acting irresponsibly and you should consider staying in your own expertise.

It doesn’t take any specialty to see this. That’s how obvious it is. When someone is deluding themselves to this extent, it is easy to see from the outside. Spend some time with someone who is addicted to things that you are not, and you will see.

You honestly think that factory farm emissions font change if people don’t give them money for their product?

have you tried that?

Yes, I have. The millions of us who choose not to help those assholes causes them to make less e missions. Unfortunately there are still people like you who live without caring about anyone but their own immediate gratification.

causes them to make less e missions.

that has never happened

you think that factory farms that sell 1 ton of meat make the exact same emission as factory farms that sell 1,000 tons of meat

no one said that. what i said is that emissions from agriculture have always risen, so it can’t be that anything you’ve done has decreased them.

If you don’t give bezos money every month, then he has less money than if you did give him money every month. This doesn’t mean that you not giving him money makes him poorer, but he has less money than he would have if you had given him money. This isn’t tough to understand, I know I grasp it.
