So uninspired writing is illegal?

Most importantly, they are designed by people that don't use them. Amazon uses AWS themselves, Google doesn't use GCP.

Does she even need Linux? 99% of things that run on Linux will also run on MacOS (or have a MacOS version). If you need a VM, Virtualbox is good enough. I'd recommend Ubuntu, simply because that's what most people use, ergo you'll find tutorials/information for every little aspect of it.

It's 90 billion every year. If their suffering is 15000 less significant, that's one holocaust a year, every year, since many years. Why are you using Shoah, if holocaust is so obviously only one thing? And why are the voices of holocaust victims/survivors/relatives totally fine to silence? Many have made that comparison, shouldn't they know best whether it's comparable???

You are correct however that this argument is utterly stupid and useless to make, esp. online, where there is zero context.

Many people will also not reduce food waste, for exactly same reasons you won't stop eating meat. Convenience, habit, cost, time investment.

Ok, are actively working on this? Is your work on it so horrendously demanding of all your attention of every single day, that you couldn't ALSO go vegan, or vegetarian, or just eat less meat? Eat the rich is just a fun day dream and a lazy excuse to not do what you can (like going vegan).

Eating the rich would also vastly reduce racism, sexism, classism, and worker exploitation. Can I therefore ignore my negligible personal impact, and keep being racist, sexist, classist, and buy only the cheapest clothes crafted by the most exploited third world toddlers?

I mean, if we're being pedantic, there's a reasonable technical limit once the password reaches multiple MBs of data.

But yes, there's no good reason for the actual limits we're seeing out in the wild.

Dungeon Fighter is a very silly coop game that might appeal to people that don't like board games normally. You're a group of adventurers and have to move through a dungeon. You roll the dice on a big bullseye board. The twist is that all abilities or traps etc. are in the form of modifying how you roll your dice. So you might have to roll the dice from below the table, or while jumping etc.

The biggest issue with a lot of the insults/slurs around mental or physical handicaps is the euphemism treadmill:

• You create a respectful word to describe people with that handicap
• People use that word as an insult
• Goto start

Case in point, retard and lame used to be official, non-insult words used by doctors. I don't know a solution, but as a person with a mental handicap, I feel like there's more important battles to fight. The intent behind the word, for example.

Not everything that elicits emotion is an appeal to emotion. If I argue with a conservative and say that "anti-trans legislation leads to more trans suicides of the children you pretend to protect", is that an appeal to emotion just because the conversative might get emotional?

An appeal to emotion is backed solely by the other persons emotion, nothing else. The very accurate description of what meat is backed by logic and the morality of most people, if we're being honest.

Now, regarding effectiveness, I don't know what's better. All I know is that the people that aren't activist always seem to know exactly how to do activism correctly. This applies to anti-racism, or feminism too. "I agree with your message, but your actions are too extreme/disruptive/emotional/etc." Personally, I believe that the correct activism is ALL the activism: The loud, and the practical, and the friendly.

Veganism is not a diet, so just giving recipes without a philosophical backing will likely not create a lifelong lifestyle shift.

Regarding tofu I'd say think of it like plain chicken. It has zero real taste of it's own, so just put it into stuff that's tasty. Since it doesn't have to be cooked for a specific time like chicken or lentils, I often just crumple a bit into whatever I'm making if it's lacking "mass". I would honestly recommend an actual, real life, paper cookbook over following youtube videos. They're often more detailed, and better for beginners esp.

So, unless they can reduce the harm they cause to 0%, any and all attempts to reduce it are futile and pointless? This is the nirvana fallacy, and I hope you understand how horrible that would be if we lived by that rule. For example, I can't stop all racism, all human exploitation, all sexism because I live in a capitalistic hellscape built on the suffering of others. Therefore, I don't actually need to try, correct?

Think about the argument you're making here: "Wild animals do X, therefore humans should be allowed to do X". I hope you understand how horrible this argument is. Here's a fun little list of things animals do:

• Eat their young
• Grape
• Murder each other for status or access to women
• shit on the floor in public
