Hey no fair, I said inb4 Anyway, you're wrong and I think you know it because you said "government-mandated censorship." The first two words clarify the third. This wouldn't be necessary if the third truly implied

Euphemism treadmill is driven by people who believe in a fairly strong version of the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis, that the thoughts we have are bounded by the words we have. They think that the negative connotations of fatness are at least in

The reason I mentioned my opinion is because it's an example of opinions which are suppressed. You have demonstrated this, by insisting that nobody could possibly have and express my opinion in good faith (despite your insistence, I e

Who said anything about the government? In the article, Spielberg laments his own decision to censor the guns in ET. It was his decision to alter his own movie, not government-imposed. The article isn't about government-imposed

Ah right, I see what you mean. Supposing I tried to make youtube only show me videos of red trains, it would probably fail. It has a limited number of content bins and probably doesn't/can't synthesize new bins on the fly f

I don't use many content recommendation systems, so maybe this isn't typical, but youtube's is very good at what it does. It knows I like videos about trains and ships, and suggests virtually nothing else to me. It doesn&#x

> Are you making a good faith comment? You have posed this as a question. My answer is yes. But perhaps you don't really mean it as a question, and instead mean it to solicit others to flag my comment to silence my point of view

Have you ever noticed that native cultures are commonly praised for not wasting any part of the animal, yet the modern meat industry is vilified for not wasting any part of the animal ("pink slime", sausage, leather industry, etc)

Then it should be safe for me to say that I've noticed transmen are less assertive and aggressive than transwomen, and that this tracks with all the research, including crime statistics, showing that human males are more aggressive tha

Food instability will lead to mass starvation, which in turn will lead to wars. Wars will trash this planet more surely than modern mechanized farming.

Anecdotally, vegetarian seem to eat a lot of eggs, fish, etc. Yes I know fish is technically not vegetarian, but.. they call themselves vegetarian and certainly avoid other meats.

Exactly, when it comes to essential matters like food, stability is much more important than efficiency. I don't want the food supply chain optimized for efficiency, nobody should. Optimize it for reliable output.

A lot of soap is made out of animal fat. Less these days than before, and I doubt any dishwasher soap is, but I suppose you could.

Forget stew? I understand the motivations for being anti-meat, even if I don't agree with them, but anti-stew? Stew is great, even vegetables stews. How can you be anti-stew?

Look up "antimicrobial resistance" (AMR) and see where the deaths attributed to this are occurring. South Asia (e.g. India, etc) and Africa. Regions with inadequate healthcare for humans, where front-line antibiotics get spam

I'd love a userscript that autohides/downvotes every "I asked ChatGPT and it said..." post. I'm getting tired of doing it manually.

Well, physics (including classical mechanics) already uses irrational reals, which are pretty spooky themselves. Imaginary numbers don't seem so much worse.

"Edge of space" is a pretty loosey-goosey expression. For instance: "What it takes to fly spy plane U-2 to the edge of space" https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20140224-flying-at-the-ed...
