Comment by commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 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 are right, you can pay anyone to do any terrible thing that brings you pleasure, and you have no moral responsibility for this”

another strawman

It’s I possible to have a conversation with someone who constantly pretends like they didn’t say what they did. I’ve given you all the information you need to take your next steps, now it’s on you.

It’s I possible to have a conversation with someone who constantly pretends like they didn’t say what they did.

real pot and kettle situation you’ve made here

Someone who advocates for taking care of the planet, and treating others compationately disagrees with you. You try to defend massive corporations that are well known for destroying the planet and abusing animals in ways so horrific that simply being shown what they are doing took you to a place not far from suicidal ideas. If that is really what you think you should be defending deep down, there is nothing I can tell you to change your mind. Just consider if you would rather be on the side defending compassion or on the side fighting against it.

this is all posturing and rhetoric. you have not shown that being vegan reduces industry emissions.

The emissions happen because people financially support them. It isn’t hard to grasp. You just don’t want to feel responsible. I know I’m not responsible for it, and I don’t have to try to pretend that my money doesn’t help continue what they do. You have to pretend or admit guilt, and at this point you can’t bring yourself to admit to what you are doing.

more posturing and rhetoric. no evidence that your purchases have ever helped the environment at all.

By the way, once again, you made up this vegan thing. Go look for me saying anyone should be vegan. You’ve created a fictional world, and even a fictional person to argue against because you have no leg to stand on in the real world arguing against a real person.

you’re splitting hairs. it seems impossible for you to be intellectually honest

You try to defend massive corporations

i never did that.

I know it’s embarrassing, but you can go back and read what you’ve written. No stretch of the imagination puts you on any side other than trying to excuse your funding those monsters.

anyone can read whats been said and see that i’ve not defended any corporations

I absolutely get that you don’t want to be thinking these things next time you are trying to enjoy your cheap cheeseburger and ice cream, or whatever else your personal guilty pleasure is. I am well aware that I have, at least temporarily, greatly tarnished your ability to selfishly enjoy these things. I hope this conversation will help you, or anyone reading this, be a bit more loving. You have not at all succeeded in convincing me that I should be more selfish, more hateful, or less compassionate. I highly doubt that your best version of yourself would really want what you are so sadly trying to desperately defend.

You have not at all succeeded in convincing me that I should be more selfish, more hateful, or less compassionate.

i have not tried to do that

this is just a series of personal attacks and self-aggrandizing statements.

The reason they feel like personal attacks is because your ego is so twisted around your emotional dependence on a deplorable addiction. If you were able to separate your ideas from yourself, then me questioning your ideas wouldn’t be so deeply offensive to you. The trouble is that you can’t fathom a life without paying people to destroy the environment and treat animals horribly. This is because you think living without cheap animal products simply isn’t an option. I assure you it is, and after your withdrawal, you will actually feel better. It may not take nearly as long or be nearly as unbearable as you are fearing. Really, truly. Most people who have put their morals above their pleasure have gone through this very thing, and I’m confident you can as well.

this isn’t about questioning my ideas. it’s about developing evidence to support your position. you still haven’t don that.

most of this comment is posturing, rhetoric, and personal attacks.

they don’t feel like personal attacks. tehy are. you’re not presenting any evidence to support your position, you are making attacks against me a s a person.

This is because you think living without cheap animal products simply isn’t an option.

i never said this, i said that your decision to do so doesn’t change the emissions from the industry.

I am well aware that I have, at least temporarily, greatly tarnished your ability to selfishly enjoy these things

look, normally i think that it’s shitty to dig through a user’s history and drag it into the current discussion, but i do encourage you to sort my comments by old.

i have been objecting to your feckless method of protecting teh environment for years. this account alone is almost solely focused on pushing people to find effective methods.

you literally have no idea who you are talking to or what you are talking about.

It is incredibly ironic that you see yourself as a moral force for good while vehemently defending some of the most atrocious practices in the world today. I hope you are able to cast aside your addiction so you can see clearly enough to actually do some good. It is clear that you find your behavior deplorable, it is just that you can’t fathom giving up on your precious factory farms.

vehemently defending some of the most atrocious practices

i never did that.

more posturing and rhetoric, but no evidence that abstaining from factory farmed meat has ever reduced emissions.

I hope you are able to cast aside your addiction

back to practicing without a license again?
