Jill can't siphon votes from Joe, because the votes doing belong to Joe: they belong to voters, and it is you to politicians to earn votes.

I agree but somehow I think it's not for the same reason

your link implies that male calves all become veal, but the vast majority of male calves are brought to full weight before slaughter.

“plants dont feel pain”.

you can't prove that.

[-] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com -4 points 11 hours ago

this is a straw man. perhaps you could try dealing with the facts and what I said.

[-] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com -3 points 11 hours ago

surely you can see that there are going to need be more evidence. some kind of communication prior to the fact is probably going to need to be established.

significantly fewer plants are harvested if you switch to a fully vegan diet.

that has never happened.

If you’re eating meat, then you’re contributing to the death of all of those plants that had to feed the animals you’re eating

impossible. an event in the future cannot cause an event in the past.

consent is not mentioned in the definition of veganism from the vegan society

I can only think of one that does: utilitarianism. it's frought with epistemic problems not to mention it can be summed up "the ends justify the means" which most people think is itself unethical.

[-] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 15 hours ago

what do you mean by "alive", and why should that matter?

[-] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 15 hours ago

you should still act to minimize suffering as much as possible.

under what ethical system?

I'm aware that this community is not usually happy with the content that's available above-board for-free under-restriction. For instance, free with subscription, or free with ads.

But I have found myself obsessed with library cards recently.

Libraries grant access to pretty expansive collections even online: movies, tv, music, and ebooks are just the beginning. Genealogical resources, vehicle repair manuals, business contact databases, academic journals, and periodicals. One of my libraries granted me access to Udemy Business through Gale. I honestly can't detail every database/collection/resource i've found available through the 4 libraries who have granted me useful access.

But I seem to have hit a wall. The New York Public Library says "visitors" may get a "temporary" card, but the number they gave me expired after 2 weeks and didnt get me access to any of their online offerings anyway.

Paris says they'll happily issue me a card. All I need to do is fill out the form (in french?!) and show up in person with photo ID. /s

Surely, I'm not the only one who has decided to try to collect library cards like pokemon cards. I imagine there are philanthropic libraries or national libraries or something that I just don't know how to look up. I'm looking for any library that will issue me a card regardless of residency, but for reference I am in the US if that's the only residency requirement. Anyone got tips?

I fucked with the title a bit. What i linked to was actually a mastodon post linking to an actual thing. but in my defense, i found it because cory doctorow boosted it, so, in a way, i am providing the original source here.

please argue. please do not remove.

i don't know how i got linked to this channel but i kept clicking on videos because i like him and his style and his politics.

and i just gotta say

i saw some highly dunkable libs saying things like "don't link me to people who make an argument. you need to use your own words or i'm going to block you." and now i want, desparately, to link them to this video in particular.

the end bit is the best where he says (im paraphrasing) "if someone says that we can't show solidarity with palestine because then our team won't win, then you can say 'fuck your team' and just be in solidarity with oppressed people because the people saying that are dum-dum doo-doo heads" and i really felt that.
