There are differences, but also similarities right? Artificial insemination doesn’t mean voluntary. Swap the species and you’d call the same acts rape.

The vegan making the comparison is likely against rape, as well as artificial insemination of cows.

What makes comparing it deserving of bashing and psychopathic?

Most content about veganism on Lemmy or Reddit is about bashing veganism. It’s honestly really disappointing. This is where conservatives and progressives find each other.

Very good explanation on why it’s not a personal choice.

This is how I explain it to people: The animals we eat aren’t able to stand up for themselves, so some people try to do that for them. Kust like how activists do this for dogs or orangutans. It’s not against personal choice, but about trying to protect those who are hurt by the choices of others.

Besides, we all share the same planet and animal agriculture has a big impact on it. So it’s not like our choices don’t affect others.

The pain of misplaced apostrophes is why I’m not a programmer

Lol, alright ChatGPT

I suspect that in the countryside it’s more common to ask guests to take their shoes off. Which makes sense, given additional mud people might bring in. It was a bit of a mixed bag where I grew up, but definitely very normal to ask guests to take their shoes off.

After moving to London there was no way I’d keep shoes on in the house, looking at how dirty streets and sidewalks can be. Context probably matters a lot alongside the cultural aspect.

I can think of a few reasons like ecological decline, climate change, antibiotic resistance, pandemics and public health.

Maybe control isn’t the right word though

It’s hard to explain just how well it works and how nice it is to have a nook or hallway be ceiling lit and daylight-bright during the day, then warm and cozy by lamplight in the evening.

Completely agree. I only run it in the living room as it’s north facing and can feel a bit dark.

Besides the light bulbs being coloured, are they a special kind? I tried to find high CRI lighting and ended up replacing the led strips in a cheap LED panel with Auxmer led strips.

You don’t even need to script it. Just use the Adaptive Lighting custom integration. You can sync your light color temperature with the sun, or customize it any way you like.

It also just looks this way from a drone shot. It’s very different when you walk around there.

Inside Excel?

It is completely depressing that we find this normal

this thing called a consciousness which is something I can’t explain or put into words but I know it exists. All under 20W.

Maybe you’d be able to if you dial it to 25W

I recently tried to customise the indentation of a numbered list and I kind of understand the hate it gets.

Documents where Word insists on appending an additional empty page that you can’t remove.

Or fighting with page breaks.

Yea I hate Word…

Cycling? My granddad did at 90. 4 years later he still does, but on 3 wheels

I’m 30, same. It’s also much faster to arrange something.

It’s a lack of human imagination to think that animals without eyebrows can’t suffer.

There are parts of (industrial) beekeeping that aren’t ethical. It’s up to people themselves to decide if they are comfortable with that.

For example outcompeting other native pollinators, culling entire hives by drowning or gassing is a thing, clipping the wings of the queen to prevent swarming, increased risk of disease due to lower nutritional value of sugar water

But… how else am I going to connect my toothbrush to my smarthome…?

Just kidding, I use home assistant and my oral-b toothbrush broadcasts using BLE, which Is capture using the oral-b integration. You don’t need to be logged in.

I agree. It’s super dumb to buy IOT toothbrushes that require you to be logged in. Luckily I’m not one of those people, so that doesn’t apply to me. Phew…

And do you suppose the banister would be installed if the mattresses were at the bottom?

Or the road design doesn’t facilitate compliance with the speed limit. This is how policy and guidance on road infrastructure talks about these issues.
