I think there is a big difference between intensive animal farming (growing animal feed like corn and soy to then grow animals with) and letting animals graze on natural grassland. For example grazing works in non-arable land (eg hills &#x2

Ok good tip. Just to clarify. When I drive garage to garage, as many people do, I don't walk in the rain. When I do walk in the rain, I carry an umbrella, and that doesn't work on a bike

Let me guess No kids? What you described was my bike centric life as well until it wasn't. When you have to do school drop-off a couple miles away for middle schoolers, or do that weekly store run for a family, it gets a bit trickier o

Not the person you're responding to, but I agree with that argument. I have commuted by bike daily in a relatively dry climate for years. I had no problem with rain in terms of wetting my clothes, as you said the rain gear is easy to p

Thanks for sharing. As a longtime bicyclist, I've been shocked by the increase, over the past decade, of reckless behaviors on the streets due to electric mobility riders. I'm glad to see some are learning, though sad to see it&#x

Comes across as unnecessary judgemental. Opportunity here: figure out how to be helpful rather than sanctimonious. Talk about what to use instead, rather than just about what to avoid.

Also safety, I'd guess. Fire has much worse consequences on ships than on land...

Oh sorry yeah they definitely care. Not just Google, also publishers like NBA care because it dents their revenue. But even they know installing ad blockers is a reasonable human behavior and spending $ to get around them an accepted cost o

You can build a super smart AI that can swap it out if you want. Sorry to spoil your perverse enjoyment there, but nobody will care about it. Everybody knows about ad blockers. Advertisers included! For things like logos on jerseys, it does

I don't claim that anyone has to like ads. Only that when someone self-describes as an "NBA fan", that sounds like they're saying they're a fan of the NBA overall. When in the next sentence they complain about ads,

by yafbum 4y ago
The entire business model of sports entertainment ventures like NBA is built around advertising. Saying I'm a fan of the NBA except for the ads is a bit like saying I'm a big fan of credit cards except for that part where you have

Thank you for this much more eloquent version of the argument I was having trouble articulating! Proof that downvotes are useful ;-)

I agree in general but am doubtful that it is a working model for the kinds of expensive elite sports that we're talking about here. If you want sports without ads it's possible, go to the park and watch a bunch of people play pic

In this case, it's relatively easy to avoid the ads in question by not watching sports. You're not losing anything that you would otherwise get without ads: US sports wouldn't exist on the scale that they do without advertisi

She's not wrong, but there's at least some precedent for advertisers injecting saner editorial policies in online plateforms. The events known as the YouTube ad-pocalypse brought a lot of changes to the way YouTube and Google hand

IDK maybe care bc Twitter is used by politicians of all stripes to whip up their most rabid fans into violent mobs, and by state-sponsored disinformation outfits to throw fuel on the fire?
