You don't have to solve it, they are interested in seeing you _try_ to solve it.

I missed that, then it’s of course terrible. Under normal situations that is not the case.

Of course they don’t “have to” hunt, they could just buy factory meat like everyone else. But hunting is of course much more humane than meat factories. I don’t think there is anything wrong with killing animals per se, but animals farmed f

Of course not, but I don't think that is what happened here. And I am not sure it's wasteful, if they eat all the meat the will eat less of other meats. Gruesome for sure, but not more gruesome than a slaughterhouse.

by Grustaf 5y ago
Not if you only do it once every few decades. Normally they kill much much fewer.

Sure, I'n not saying it's exactly the same thing or that it's good, but we should also have some perspective.

You said "but we're not farming dolphins". My point is that hunting dolphins is better than farming them, not worse.

Farming animals is much much worse than killing wild animals. Even when I was a vegetarian for ethical reasons I would eat game, I have no moral objections at all to going out in the forest and shooting a deer for food, but raising pigs in

Well, every year in the US 121 million pigs are slaughtered, and they obviously live under much worse conditions. The Faroe Islands have 50000 inhabitants, so even if they did this every year it wouldn't really be very significant. It

What exactly would the crime be? Haven't Watch keyboards always been banned?

by Grustaf 5y ago
Yeah, that's exactly true. It's cargo culting. Super models are beautiful and popular, so if I pay for a photo shoot I am also beautiful and popular seems to be the logic of many "influencers".

Since everyone else in the world knows it, it's not surprising they do as well.

Surely the war is "make more money than everyone else! And they don't seem to be losing that.

Outdoor sports is a big one. For kite and wind surfing, you want a lot of wind, for sailing moderate winds and for golf or wakeboard you want no wind.

No, that's the thing. Even if we pretend it's a female garment (even American "kimonos" aren't), I really don't see why using the word in a turn of phrase would be "sexist". It's not implying in

by Grustaf 5y ago
This is so stupid I don't even know what to say. Geishas have kimonos hence expressions involving kimonos are sexist? Samurai also wear kimonos, as do priests and sumo wrestlers. Sure, the general public is uneducated but come on, this

No I mean in what sense could it possibly be “sexist”? It’s not demeaning to women, at least not more so than to men. It might be a bit raunchy, but in a gender neutral way.

by Grustaf 5y ago
And why do they find it sexist?
889.
by Grustaf 5y ago
So what is the reason it would be offensive? Please explain.

I’m commenting on the wikipedia comment, that is the context. I haven’t discussed cancel culture, nor downvoted anything. Not that that’s even related to each other. The fact of the matter is that the phrase does not denigrate Japanese cult

Would you store nude photos of yourself on your company laptop?

by Grustaf 5y ago
Then wiki should check their sources. When you see people with kimono on the streets in Tokyo I assure you that "geisha" is not what comes to mind.

> And she's talking about unions and such on company Slack, come on now. Reckless lol. Generally speaking she does seem to have issues, but why wouldn't you discuss unions on a company Slack?

by Grustaf 5y ago
Why would it be offensive just because random Americans think that "women are the ones that wear kimono"? Even if it were true. For the puritanical American mind it might be offensive to even imagine nudity, but other than that I

Why would "open kimono" be "inexcusable"? It just means "without hiding anything". Like almost any abstract expression, you're taking something concrete and using it in an abstract sense, it doesn't m

Forbidding you from hiding that you're filming seems like the one redeeming feature.

I don't understand his point: > A pixel is a point sample. It exists only at a point. Wouldn't that completely depend on where the pixel comes from? For a rasterised vector drawing, surely each pixel will get its colour from th

Going to the gym once is pretty useless though, if you're not going to go regularly, just don't go.

I completely agree with your sentiment, but it's important to be aware of the real problem. Most people, opponents and supporters of video games alike, tend to discuss if the activity itself is harmful - does it make us desensitised to
