not really? slippery slope fallacy

who cares what people think? we’re all going to die anyway, just use the words you want to use to say the things you want to say. whether or not you align with a stranger on the internet is only as relevant as you want it to be.

it was a joke mate

The UK is leading the western world in renewables in many ways, yet our bills are some of the most expensive.

To be fair if I received an assignment and it said “Use the exact sentence xyz in the second chapter” I’d be unlikely to ignore that as a human?

I wasn’t familiar with that. When I wanted to see if I could buy ethical cheese I found one farm which reared calves with mothers, and read that although everything else they do seemed to be ethical, they did sell their male calves to be used for veal. That may have been incorrect and if it was, I was unaware.

The cheese was also extremely expensive too, like 10x the price of normal cheese.

Ah, there’s a random block of white space on the page for me indicating that the article was finished. Thanks I’ll read the rest now.

Unfortunately - and this is the problem - it is incredibly inefficient to raise animals properly. Almost any ‘humane’ animal products that you can think of have very harmful practices embedded in them.

Firstly - the animals having the best possible life right to the moment of death would still allow things like lamb. Surely giving a baby the best possible life before killing it young is still barbaric?

Secondly - secondary animal products would still require harmful practices. For a dairy cow to produce milk she has to be pregnant / have a baby. Some farms produce ‘humane’ dairy which involves allowing the mother and calf to live together, but then it also requires them to sell the male calves to be killed for veal because… what else would a male calf be for?

And finally, onto the point of inefficiency. Do you have any idea how many chickens are killed every single day to supply our food system? You probably do, but you may be unaware of what that means - the Earth does not have enough land possible to raise these chickens, it is physically impossible and that is just one farm animal.

So the future of a humane world for animals either involves quality synthetic meat, or everybody is suddenly happy to go vegan, or more likely; everybody remains carnivorous and we continue to torture animals.

The em dash used in MS word is different to the one used by ChatGPT as far as I can tell, it looks more like the en dash used by GPT.

Would be better if they revealed what the Trojan Horse was for me, that was what I was most interested in. Saying it’s an infallible way of exposing AI usage without actually revealing what it was is questionable.

Come on dude. Just keep doubling down until you can generalise. What a weak approach.

It makes more sense that a god is a creator and not a omniscient controller, if we could grow life in a petri dish and set the scientific boundaries for that life - we would also sit back and watch what happens, for good and for bad.

If you stop viewing Jesus as a deity and start viewing him as just a really nice guy, and you ignore much of the rest of that book, then I think he is a good role model.

Strangely, all of the good things he said and did are ignored by the people that worship him.

Turn the other cheek - nope, let’s blow people up in the ocean just in case they’re doing something wrong.

Love thy neighbour, the story of the good Samaritan - nope, fuck anybody that’s not rich and definitely fuck immigrants.

The innocent civilians (and soldiers) on both sides who died for their rulers thinking they were heroes.
