It is the company's responsability for people dumping the plastic. If they made as much publicity for responsible disposal as they do for comsumption of their products, people would be better. They can also produce less or in better recipients.

The company makes the plastic bottles, which don't need to be plastic, and then uses marketing to promote consumption. The people are not to blame for being exploited by the scheme of the corporations. If this company stopped existing tomorrow, I'm sure people would consume less just from the lack of advertisement.

Schleswig-Holstein, one of Germany’s 16 states, on Wednesday confirmed plans to move tens of thousands of systems from Microsoft Windows to Linux. The announcement follows previously established plans to migrate the state government off Microsoft Office in favor of open source LibreOffice.

I'd argue agents often participate willingly because they are conditioned to view the people as enemies threatening their lives. The phrase "just following orders" is used afterwards to ease guilt and shift responsibility.

Every corner of the world is in a way suffering from war, corruption, or civil unrest, not just "The West"

Firstly, do you mean only animals aren't possessions? What about all other things and resources?

Secondly, are you saying people should do they best to keep consumption to a minimum, while surviving themselves? Does this mean we could let all animals die and stop existing because we have no use for them, or should we do our best to maintain biodiversity and life on this planet?

Immigration helps the common man by filling low level positions that most natives will not take. A lot of immigrants don't know the local language and/or the local culture, so it is fair that they take free, unwanted jobs.

Further, there are a lot of protections for the workers, including immigrants, meaning wages and working conditions do not fall below acceptable standards. Immigrants strengthen the core pillars of industry, which might even lead to an increase in productivity and better conditions. They contribute to the economy and help pay public services which benefits the broader community.

Look, I understand AI, in general, not just LLM, is very powerful and research is needed to develop better models. However, people and media need to stop presenting every random research project as the NEW BIG THING, as that will just make non-technical people confused and lead to unnecessary hysteria.

Stop hammering not-nails with not-hammers.

Unfortunately, death is not a case of balance. Any action done with the intent to cause unnecessary harm is evil. However, you could argue that killing someone that tortures many others is less evil.
