I try to contribute to things getting better, sometimes through polite rational skepticism.
Disagreeing with your comment ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.

oce,

There’s none, it’s based on what society tells you to feel empathy for. Dog eaters and corrida enjoyers are no different from people eating massively produced industrial chicken, they just live in an environment where it is normal to do that.

How can you tell this happened more to dogs and cats than any other domestic animal? Many people report farm animals to establish emotional bounding too, typically cows wanting to play and cuddle, way more than the average cat. Cows are also considered sacred by a notable percentage of humanity.
I’m pretty sure there are thousands of other examples of traditions providing tales about why some animal is eaten. One Christian example that comes to me is Easter lamb.
I think your point is still the cultural bias I talked about earlier.

oce,

Me too, but I think we need an actual budget rather than doing it by feeling. The 2t carbon budget is a good start.

oce,

Yeah, who knows what monument they have replicated again in Texas.

The resemblance with the music video of Burn The Witch by Radiohead is notable m.youtube.com/watch?v=yI2oS2hoL0k&

oce,

You may also find true love and not need a social certificate around it.

oce,

RIP little paw

oce,

You made me understand the joke.

oce,

Depends if someone feeds you interpretation at the same time.

Then I think they weren’t very good scholars. I find Christian scholars like the Jesuits very talented in twisting the language and ideas until it fits their ideology.
Besides, I do think interpretation is required to read such books without taking silly interpretation shortcuts, but I’d rather have it from a secular religion history researcher.
Edit: I was thinking about this scholastic system of education from the Middle Ages that made them so good at this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disputation

oce,

Don’t forget the hoodie.

oce,

My best focus is before lunch and before the end of the day.

oce,

I think some of it is the mental load expectation to go back to a difficult process. I find using genAI to start the task allows the load to come more progressively.

oce,

Defend what matters to you and be poor, or defend where money is and be rich and meaningless.

The kid dreamed of his mom being hotter and it was not considered a bad dream. Now he studies law to find in which state the rest of the story can happen legally.

Essentialism (you’re not born a bear so you will never be) vs social constructivism (the environment is making you live like a bear so you’ve become a bear).

oce,

Is true love necessarily until death?

oce,

But 2 days later the necromancer fell short of energy and she decomposed on the sheets.

oce,

It is a divine rain reservoir.

oce,

2 minutes is a pretty high score though

And inheritance is one of the biggest source of inequalities hence why Piketty proposes a massive tax on inheritance to be redistributed equally as a universel basic inheritance to young people. There are hard core scientific papers behind it but this is a popularized article I have found: goodmenproject.com/…/fairer-taxes-and-inheritance…. Problem is inheritance is an extremely touchy topic, most people have the deeply rooted instinct to give everything to there children and can’t think rationally about it.

oce,

Tell you manager what went wrong politely if necessary, being rude in a professional setting may look cool in some fantasy but nothing good will come out of it.

oce,

How much is moving around a lot? Because 2-3 years turn over is pretty common in IT and it doesn’t seem to prevent being hired. It may even be considered as better experience than the one of an engineer that worked on a single system for 10 years.

oce, (edited )

I am a mid career enginer, I was requested two references, one colleague and one manager, for my current job.

What is your reason for telling your manager to fuck off? Ego satisfaction for 5 min? What about thinking that if you tell him what went wrong, maybe they can improve, which may improve the work conditions of your ex colleagues? I find that more satisfying. I always try to raise my voice to improve my ex-colleagues conditions before I leave because I’m freer to speak up.
