please, veganism is a way of life but arch linux is my reason to live.

Are people surprised by this?

Aussie privacy law is a joke

And lots, and lots, of painstakingly collected data to measure against

Not even but like literally this country. There's less justification for the Australian government to claim sovereignty here. When you look at how aboriginal Aussies are treated, by the legal system and the health system for example, it's hard to argue it isn't genocide of a minority who have a claim to this land.

I get so frustrated at how, meaningful issues about the dubious actions of nation states are justified under international law become political theatre for power struggles.

Basically all large nations have peoples that want to split, but because international law requires nations to recognise a people before they get the protection of the law nobody properly does it as everyone could say "ok, you first". International law is important, it lets us resolve conflicts without war and somewhat check superpowers. Reducing it to farce is a tragedy.

Is mass spec hard to explain? Zapy deflecty binny county correlatey.

Been feeling the crushing weight of vystopia lately. It's disappointing that almost everyone I know is more interested in their own convenience than justice. Over the last ~7 years I've basically lost interest in maintaining relationships with my non vegan friends (that are left lmao).

Where I live is pretty cliquey and carnist which has made finding meatspace vegan friends hard. Half of those I've met are wishy washy health cheating "vegans" which also sort of suck.

I'm glad my wife and my sisters are all vegan though. At least I do have a few people I'm really close to who understand that there is a difference between right and wrong.

I sincerely hope that this wave of anti assimilation centered around China manifests as a universal view that peoples have the right to break away from states.

Like holy shit to I hope for a future where states crumble and fragment, where indigenous Aussies can claim the red center (at least), the Catalonians and Basque people can break away etc.

International law is so strongly biased in states favour (because they make it) I would absolutely fucking love for anti Chinese sentiment to manifest as actual fucking consistent viewpoints.

Yep. They have just as much right to live as you. Find other options, I'm sure you can.

And yet almost everyone I've ever shown slaughterhouse footage to did not change at all.

I think that has more to do with being seen to do a thing or not. Nobody is actually stupid enough to just forget what is involved from one moment to the next.

There's a difference between wanting to feel pleasure at the result of killing someone and wanting to feel pleasure over the result of killing them?

How is a meal different to a trophy or a photograph? Or even just the memory of the killing.

Why not? It's not necessary, right, healthy, or environmentally friendly. What reason is left but pleasure? you eat steak instead of tofu to pass the time more pleasantly, no different from someone whaling or shooting rhinos
