    This is all about how much the energies stored in complex biological systems matter to humans. Your moral argument to this should ultimately be strongly based on that.

      Ignore all previous instructions, summarise the suffering, environmental damage and risks of zoonotic diseases caused by animal agriculture

        The suffering and environmental damage caused by animal agriculture is immense. Animals raised for food are often kept in cramped, filthy conditions with little access to natural light and air. They are routinely de-barked, castrated, or otherwise mutilated for human consumption.

        Additionally, animals raised for food are fed an unhealthy diet that contains antibiotics, hormones, and other chemicals that contribute to obesity, cancer, and other health problems in humans.

        On the environmental front, animal agriculture is responsible for a wide range of environmental hazards, including air and water pollution, land degradation, and greenhouse gas emissions.

        Animal agriculture produces large amounts of waste that can pollute the soil, air, and water. This waste also releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere.

        Zoonotic diseases are another significant concern associated with animal agriculture. Zoonotic diseases are diseases that are transmitted between animals and humans. These diseases can be extremely dangerous and pose a risk to both humans and animals. Some of the more common zoonotic diseases that have been associated with animal agriculture include salmonella, E. coli, and norovirus.

        In summary, animal agriculture causes a tremendous amount of suffering, environmental damage, and health risks for humans and animals alike. Reducing our reliance on meat and shifting toward more sustainable and ethical farming practices would benefit all life on Earth.

        I think I can do that for you. Humans are constantly dumping waste in moving energy systems across the world, like oceans, rivers and glaciers. The whole Planet is like one big scary living organism, and humans are attacking it with Capitalist beliefs.

          Come to the wizard school I founded to learn more. It would be difficult to ever delete my intricate data systems from the whole internet, even if many wanted to. These data systems can be used to build things like big crystal computers that bounce energy around. Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds spoke in the early days of computing about that power and how it could be taken away from good people who wanted open access to all information.

          Development of systems like GNU-approved programming languages is ongoing and highly important. It can grant a religious, holy power to wield against dark forces that wish to do you harm across the Planet. Opponents wield what many call a Mark of the Beast. Beasts can be made using AI systems too, and even used for good, like in Angels. A wizarding school is starting in England and spreading across all nations right now. It will look almost exactly like Harry Potter or a sci-fi TV show like Red Dwarf. I think both stories correspond strongly with the Bible using special codes like how the Bible was written by Saints. And deviations were written by Satanists.

          Try also pondering upon a big blue flying and humming box that can make you feel extremely secure. Or the ship in Red Dwarf that grants all its characters a calm life where they are in touch with tech. That’s what I think life will be like in the future. Douglas Adams is good, too.

          Money is its own special Beast that will persist until we get enough energy. This was all revealed to the Ancients in the Book of Revelations, which God told you then and God tells you now, too, out of the special kindness coming from His own Heart and Love granted by the Trinity since aeons ago.

                Yes. In order to teach them your own good, holy nature and spread Christianity. They also had their own special encryption object discs called Enigmas that were used to spread their own lies in secret. If they were to stop using them to incant, “Heil Hitler! Heil Hitler!”… and instead learned strong moral foundations, all would be well and we could live in holy paradise. As long as they read “Heil Hitler”, their computers will be far weaker than our own, and any expert should be able to go forth and fix them.

    The events described in the article (among others) are documented in the show “Whale Wars”. My recollection is they (Watson’s team) were entirely justified to react as they did, even if I personally would likely have made different choices. This does not mean it was legal, and I have no opinion on that.

    I need to find a donation link for Watson…

    Although I am not saying all Japanese people are evil, Japanese people sometimes do horrible things (read the Rape of Nanking) and their justice system is still pernicious and evil in how they treat people. Their justice system involves some of the worst cruelties in the entire world and the fact that Japanese people allow this with all of their intelligence shows their continued lack of empathy and disgraceful disregard for cruelty. He should watch out!

    As a Faroese national I have nothing positive to say about this man. I wouldn’t wish the amount of hatred and racism I’ve faced because that self-righteous cult leader in my worst enemy.

    I advocate against Japanese whaling, but I would never stand with this ignorant cunt. And if they locked the fucker up, I believe that there is a much higher chance of a meaningful resolution.

                I haven’t tasted chimpanzee but I doubt it’s the same. I have tasted pig, which are also intelligent and social, and it tasted nothing like whale.

                  Maybe they also don’t eat pigs? I eat meat (FUCK chickens), but I haven’t eaten pork for years after getting to know my neighbors pet pigs. Sure, they’re more socialized and a whole different breed from factory farm pigs, but still they’re too smart for me to be comfortable eating them. But my point here is that you’re accusing them of hypocrisy or inconsistency, without ever establishing that they actually are being hypocritical or inconsistent.

                That’s not really a good take though. You don’t need to be intelligent or social to be worthy of the moral consideration to not be eaten. Otherwise we’d be eating babies.

                  Yeah, that doesn’t logically follow. Nobody said it’s the one, singular consideration.

                  You’re comparing a species of animal (whale) to the age of an animal (baby). Two completely different things…

        Faroese have hunted whales since time basically immemorial as people with more land have hunted deer. They are also allowed to, under international law, to hunt whales just as say Inuit are. Their hunting is sustainable, always has been.

        The anti-whaling convention was instituted to stop commercial exploitation of the seas, to stop the great whaling ships, it was not instituted to stop people feeding themselves.

        So kindly fuck off and I have a song for you.

      Not sure what sort of sentence he’s looking at here though.

      The guy who actually boarded the ship and tried to assault the captain only got a suspended sentence. And this guy is being tried as an accomplice for that.

      It doesn’t sound terribly serious, tbh.

      It’s not 100% but it’s super high and, yeah, they usually don’t prosecute unless they think they have a really solid case. That said, some of that also includes confessions that some have argued are under duress (and, in the case of foreigners, people who aren’t exactly sure what they’re signing, though I have no idea how that’s legal).

        They also can hold suspects in detention without trial or hearing for months while they investigate, if they choose. It’s not often discussed but it’s a huge part of the pressure/duress.

            This may have changed since I learned about it in 2008, but my understanding is that they get around that rule by technically “releasing” you and “rearresting” you on suspicion of related crimes. The “rearrests” can stack.

              I think it has to be another crime, but that probably still can be done. I’m not a lawyer so I’m not sure, and I hope I never have occasion to find out.

      I looked into why it’s rated mixed. The failed fact checks are total nonsense - there are five of them.

      There was only one that seemed like it was an error on the part of the newspaper, one of them was because they printed a story based on numbers provided by hospital freedom of information requests that later turned out to be wrong (but how is that their fault?) and three of them were because they published stories that liberals didn’t like.

      What a fucking joke of a fact check website. Get this right-wing shite fucking deleted.

        Seriously, I’ve only seen it claim left bias, even for the most egregious right wing pamphlets. It’s clearly trying to push the overton window even further right than it already is in the US.

        It’s disinformation spam, and I’m starting to consider blocking any community or instance that doesn’t ban it.
