Audio game, you say?

So it's bad at what it does, adds layers of unnecessary effort from multiple people, *and* uses an obscene amount of energy to do so? All for a minor convenience to a small number of people? Sounds like the modern American way to do pretty much everything, so I'll ask this: Why do you hate freedom?

It's capable of convincing idiots that it's doing something shaped like learning, so I think we can see the problem here.

As someone who creates things for a living, no, absolutely do not abolish copyright. Are you under the impression that only giant corporations can own a creative work?

Almost like outsourcing your reading and thinking to plagiarism robots makes you effectively barely literate, dim-witted plagiarists.

Is some larger media presence going to finally call out this brainworm-adled idiot as a eugenicist, or are they still trying the appeasement route?

Do not, my friends, become addicted to dolls. They will take hold of you, and you will resent their absence!

At least we'll have a nice taxedermy display with a QR code to learn more about all the extinct creatures we wiped out. Maybe we'll even "un-extinct" some of them by slightly altering the DNA of a totally different animal to kind of be similar. Human ingenuity really is boundless.

Every parent should have to complete extensive crash tests on multiple brands of car seat before they select one, like real bootstraps Americans.

"Yes, chef" we mumble in unison, because the chef has doubled down on AI which hallucinated a recipe. We hesitantly add bleach and ammonia to our pizza dough, and prepare a vat of glue to keep the cheese stuck to the top.

Woops, read your comment closer. Very cool stuff. Definitely not alarming.

Didn't they just bully a bunch of huge law firms into agreeing to "donate" a bunch of pro-bono time to avoid lawsuits, or am I misunderstanding what happened?

Kind of strange to have a sentence that points out rural broadband (without specifying which side pushed it) then immediately pulls a "both sides".

Well, I followed because of the cool politics, but you're also a Pratchett fan? Stop hogging the green flags over there.

Come on, soon we won't be able to buy pre-canned weiners. We'll have to buy weiners in bulk, then cut and can our own.

I derive joy from it. I love, absolutely love, seeing creeps like you hurt because of the consequences of their stupid actions. Cope and seethe, you miserable idiot.

RFK Jr is wrong, no matter how many people believe the lies he and his gang of conspiracy poisoned idiots tells. Fixed that for you.

Then what does saying "yes the cheese I'm eating is wrong and the goal is being vegan" do, aside from patch the gaps in your position?
comment in response to
post
So, much like Catholic absolution of sins, as long as I feel bad about the triple cheeseburger then it's vegan?
comment in response to
post
Then we agree that this is not an all-or-nothing issue. Someone can be not entirely vegan without being against veganism; someone can own a pair of wool socks and not be anti-vegan.
comment in response to
post
Nope. No half measures. No neutral position. Doing a bad thing is bad. You wearing those socks are the same moral position as an all carnivore diet.
comment in response to
post
Fine. That means that someone who owns a pair of wool socks is morally equal to someone who runs over cats for fun. Doing less of a bad thing over time until we reach the goal is worthless, so we might as well change nothing unless we arrive at the goal immediately. This is logical, but unworkable.

Then there's no moral reason for anyone to make steps toward the goal. Might as well be chainsawing cows in a field if you have the occasional piece of cheese.
comment in response to
post
If someone generally tries to reduce the amount of meat and dairy they consume, that would be a more moral middle - if not neutral - stance between vegan and the "for every steak you don't eat, I'll eat three" people, wouldn't it?
comment in response to
post
That's still a strawman no matter how many times you post it.
comment in response to
post
You're ignoring the neutral position, but I see the logic. Is this all-or-nothing? Is progress toward the goal no more morally defensible than opposition to it?

Then you're just this annoying legitimately. Still seek help, then, for a different reason.

I haven't said anything about what I eat. Round and round we go.
Let's grant your assumption for a moment. How is not being vegan being against veganism?
comment in response to

Please point to where I said I was against veganism.

I'm starting to understand your game here. You jump in and annoy people until they get angry enough that you can add to the little counter in your bio for attention. That's not a healthy approach to life, and I hope you seek help.

What criticism do you think you made?
comment in response to
post
I'm sticking to my "strangers on the internet don't care about my diet" stance. Although, you seem obsessed with what I may or may not eat, so maybe I'm wrong.
comment in response to

I have vegan friends who tell that joke ironically all the time.
You're not vegan, you're cosplaying. It's obvious.
