It’s all word views. Obviously a Christain who believes in souls has no reason to respect an animal if it doesn’t have one.

But, I just think we are matter, so I imagine that matter inherently experiences. In that case, humans are no longer the obvious protagonist who has no reason to feel bad about abusing the rest of those out there.

Edit: And the fact that racism likely comes from people looking different, acting different, having resources we want, difficulties in communication, and/or leaders having an incentive to support it, it is pretty easy to see how specism exists. Whethere or not you care about that is up to you.

Good point, finding a security vulnerability is a success not a failure.

In college I was told over and over that SECURITY BY OBSCURITY IS NOT ACTUALLY SECURITY. So using thoroughly tested and examined security techniques from open source software is the gold standard.

There are known secure algorithms that cannot be cracked by modern computers. So, no reason to try and reinvent the wheel and just hope your way is better despite decades of refinement and research into modern open algorithms.

I’m not sure blaming Israel is the real issue here

Aye I was making my comment in part to humanize the people we call terrorists.

You have a good point I was a bit too black and white with my comment. There definitely seems to be a correlation between size and violence of terrorist groups, and the human rights of the area they riside in.

Also totally agree that it can happen to me. Gotta acknowledge that you don’t really know anything and you are pretty much always just taking someone’s word for things. I believe the Earth is round, but I’m just taking people’s word for it.

You have a point. Though the US white supremesists haven’t launched such organized and open assaults. So maybe it just scales with human rights abuses.

Strange, terrorist organization don’t seem to pop up in countries with better human rights.

First, only the sith (and the ignorant) deal in absolutes. Second, it’s fair and right to feel for the people attacked by the Hamas, and fair and right to acknowledge the apartheid state of Israel that created them.

I’m curious too

Probably exile then, execution is really expensive these days

Should pay be related to what percentage of your net worth you risk? $1000 is a very different amount of risk for different people.

Exactly, people must remain completely static. Don’t change, its a red flag.

Hey pal, stress is bad for the body. Can be as bad as chain smoking if you have chronic stress.

Lemmy is full of leftists, and that looks like a trigger for ya. Just be safe out there.

Also, grouping all communists together is exceptionally inacurate. Lots of variety in leftism. Obviously, if you are discussing politics with a leftist they’ll likely want to discuss the merits of “socialist ideals” with you.

Aye I wish belived that capitalism created a fair society. Seems more comfy.

In my experience, the point of leftism is to bring more power to the average citizen. What about that do you disagree with?
