If you’re being targeted by 5 eyes and you and your group don’t know enough about tech to set up your own local communication servers or going serverless / not using internet, you’re already caught or known about

1. Not all English speakers are from the “west”, since it’s a lingua franca.

2. You literally put in that the only option in developed countries is factory farmed meat, which is also not true. There’s even European countries where the factory farming of the USA isn’t allowed, and plenty of developing countries where it’s encouraged.

3. you imply by saying only developed countries have this option, as if developing countries don’t, and for some reason bring up fucking scavanging as one of developing countries alternatives? Really? You think that lowly of them that just classic old ranching didn’t come to your mind??? The fuck dude. You just pulled a “those kids in Africa” or “the doctor is the male nurse” moment even if you didn’t mean to. You clearly haven’t traveled much.

4. we were talking about chickens not beef.

The ones where of the aphid strays too far from the closed in pack it becomes an instant snack (hey that rhymes).

At least we cook our chickens first (/s)

You vegan? Apparently y’all are fine with meat too according to some:

The majority of humans don’t scavange meat from already dead animals, even in poorer countries wtf

Soy Salvadoreño y nadie en mi familia ni los vecinos ni el pueblo estaban comiendo animales muertos ni cuando tenían zapatos. Chele morongon, que crees tan bajo de los pobres???

Those ants are farming aphids. They keep them in close quarters. Ants are nature. Ergo the meme

🤣 go to the Lemmy vegan community and say that. I’m sure you’ll easily get 99 upvotes and only a single downvote

Well if the ants can do it, why can’t we?

(Btw, I’m opposed to caged chicken egg cultivation, and even had my own chicken in the past before I couldn’t anymore for eggs. Now I just pay the premium and researched which were the most ethical eggs in the store available. Happy hens make better eggs anyway. I’m just pointing out we’re not the only ones that raise animals for consumption in nature).

No it wasn’t.

Otherwise humans wouldn’t have been smart enough to figure out farming in the first place.

Also humans were already humans when farming was invented. We’re not pokemon.

Shut the fuck up troll

Damn, imagine hell freezing over and a bunch of them still don’t get the message

Still missing the point.

The criticism was on your “words don’t kill people” part.

Neither guns nor words spawn out of nothing.

Didn’t know much about this community, but honestly it gets some of my respect for pushing against the current main narrative.

Violence isn’t necessarily always a bad thing - otherwise, Europe and Japan would look drastically different today.

Leaving out that the reporter was a mass reporter likely stirring up trouble, I think it’s natural in dire and extreme times for people to wish for more extreme actions to happen to evil people. It’s not as of people wishing that will necessarily do it (just in case, I wish for enough money to buy a house and retire with the basics), it’s just a way for them to vent the frustration they have at Injustice they can’t otherwise do anything about.

Not to mention silencing the side that wishes death against those advocating for the death of others always seemed to be… Hypocritical to me.

So in all, I think this community’s admins did good. If people left over that, maybe it’s for the better not to have them.

• Proton CEO: Trump’s FTC pick is great for privacy and reigning in big tech
• Trump’s FTC pick is a corporate stooge that is corporate friendly
• Big Tech is corporate
• Therefore, there is no reason for to believe that Trump’s FTC pick is good for privacy and reigning in big tech
• therefore, Proton CEO lied

Now, let’s look at the definition of endorsement:

the act of saying that you approve of or support something or someone

The something in this case is Trump’s judgement (which, even you have agreed is terrible), because it is Trump’s judgement that picked the person.

Ergo, he is endorsing, although indirectly, Trump, for Trump is the holder of the judgement that was picked.

Now, with all that being said, criticizing the Democrats while also stating Republicans support the little guy (paraphrased) is also a lie - there’s plenty of evidence behind this.

Considering Trump picked this guy too:

There’s also little excuse to support anything this government does at this point as well.

Apply a bit of critical thinking, if you’re willing, and it’s not hard to see the Proton CEO supports Trump, even if he walked back his statements.

Now, you’re free to keep your business with Proton.

I for one would rather not put my trust in privacy for someone who is holding water for literal fascists, considering how fascists have historically been known to dislike personal privacy of others.

If you’d like to keep being that gullible, go right ahead and spend your money on that.

As for me, I’m making backups already and giving them 3 months to remove the CEO from the position, or I’m cancelling my subscription and moving or, at this point, just hosting my own email locally.

You’re confident they’re a terrible choice? Then that makes what the Proton CEO said a fucking lie, because he’s confident the corporate stooge is a great choice.

Even if we take what you’re saying at face value, Trump’s FTC pick is a fucking terrible choice too, and very corporate friendly.

Trump chose this guy to be in his government

That’s not defending the Democrats, but this one just openly displayed he’s a Nazi on national tv

Edit: in case there’s any doubt:

The discussion was never about the guns, dumdum (this, btw, is an ad hominem)

… Do you mean turn OFF everything at night? Because you do realize that the output of solar power at night, you know, when the solar part is missing, is zero, right???

And wind can’t get anywhere near the difference, even assuming it’s running at 100%. Not to mention many things need to continue running at night. Like hospitals.

And that’s before I even got to the absurdity of tech companies using computational work as a sink. Computational work doing what, exactly? Rendering 3D farting fairies??? And that’s not even getting into how they’re the main cause of increased energy usage recently preventing us from catching up with demands in the first place, mostly because of AI.

And the back up batteries only at sensitive sites - so you just expect people to freeze to death in Winter or during a heatwave? To not eat because they can’t heat anything up? What about comms. Most towers are in places where there’s not enough space for local battery sites. “Mandating rooftop solar” sure, but you’d still also have to “mandate” that it’s free because many weight be able to afford it.

As for the reason I said you should play this games, it’s to make you realize how difficult it would be to run everything purely on solar and wind and without batteries, EVEN WITH future tech and perfect weather with no inhabitants like in Satisfactory. You’ll either need good sources of hydro in every possible spot on the map (at which point, in real life, you’d definitely be altering the environment, + climate change is affecting that too in reality) or a massive battery storage site / so many distributed batteries you’ve accomplished the same thing anyhow. You’ll fucking realize energy demands can be so damn high, the struggle isn’t “what to do with all this power” but “I need more power / need power at night”, constantly, even with magic future solar tech on a planet with a binary system.

You’re clearly both too uninformed AND misinformed to continue this conversation. At best what you do now is help the fossil fuel industry with how ignorant you are - at worst you’re a troll willingly doing so.

Demisexuals do have sexual attraction though.

It’s just they don’t really want to have sex with someone unless they first have an emotional bond (and since it’s a spectrum, some literally don’t find a person sexy at all until there’s an emotional bond).

A lot of people don’t have that limitation though - it’s not a goal or anything, they just also get sexual urges with hot people and therefore want to have sex.

Those people usually are up for / have one night stands for example, because they don’t really need any emotional connection to want to have sex.
