Können wir bitte endlich die Fleischindustrie abschaffen :(

As I understand it, high heels started out as shoes for riding horses. Considering hardly anyone rides horses anymore, and how uncomfortable walking in high heels is, I kinda have the opposite question: Why do people still wear them?

I think pretty much everyone would agree that's bad. However, I don't think we'll ever get to the point where we recognize a machine might be capable of suffering. There is no way of proving anything, biological or not, has a consciousness and the capability to suffer. And with AI being so different from us, I believe most people would simply disregard the idea.

Heck, look at the way we treat animals. A pig's brain is very similar to our own. Nociceptors, the nerve cells responisble for pain in humans, can also be found in most animals, but we don't care. We kill 4 million pigs every day, and 200 million chickens. No mass murder in the history of mankind even gets close to that.

The sad truth is, most people only care about their wellbeing, and that of their friends and family. Even other humans don't matter, as long as they're strangers. Otherwise people wouldn't be hoarding wealth like that, while hundreds of millions of people around the world are starving.

Ah sorry, I kinda started ranting. Yes, I'd care.

Don't try to point out why they are wrong, but rather why you believe what you believe. And when they tell you why they believe what they do, no matter how ridiculous it might seem, respect their opinion and explain which points exactly you disagree with and why.

I think the idea of trying to convince the other is flawed in itself. It implies that you are right and they are wrong. Approach any conversation with that mindset, and neither their nor your opinion will change.

Instead, try to see a discussion as a way to exchange perspectives with the goal of finding the truth. Only if you are open to the idea of changing your mind can you hope to change that of your conversation partner.

OP is SCP-096

Warum wird eigentlich ständig mit dem Begriff "Extremismus" um sich geworfen? Weder bei der letzte Generation, noch bei protestierende Bauern gibt es Probleme mit Extremismus. RAF und NSU, das waren Extremisten. Menschen die bereit sind für ihre Sache andere Menschen körperlich (oder auch seelisch) zu verletzen. Die Straßen zu blockieren hat damit nichts zu tun.

yes, its practically the same thing. Both contain surfactants, which is the stuff that allows you to rinse off oils and fats with water.

Ah yes, 7 years for torturing a child to death. But don't try avoiding taxes, folks!

Serious question, how do you suggest we enforce laws without police?

no, think about what that would imply. Anyone could practicaly delete any other profile by creating an instance and banning that profile on that instance. That would be insane.

Isn't email an inherently federated concept? You can host your own email-server and send emails to any address, no matter who runs the servers. What exactly is the issue?
