The point isn't to punish people, it's to keep people un-killed. If speed cameras don't work on 2% because they are wealthy sociopaths, that's not a reason to abandon the intervention that has been clearly proven to work at the intended purpose of keeping people from getting killed. This is such a bizarre objection. Perhaps it is a reflex earned from decades of looking for how the poor get screwed and that's admirable but it kind of looks like looking for any excuse not to have to slow down.

OH WELL.

This is a life-saving intervention that is empirically proven to save lives. The lives of pedestrians are more important than the income of gig workers. Pedestrians are an even more disadvantaged and vulnerable class than gig drivers.

It's a tiny problem, we can accept that it is a bit regressive and adjust taxes elsewhere to compensate. For this, I should die? Sort it out, bud.

I'm simply correcting your misstatements for the benefit of others. It's unfortunate if they have somehow upset you; the realities of animal exploitation we avoid thinking about are indeed quite upsetting, and I don't believe in protecting people from that.

Does taste and convenience matter more than cruelty and violence?

No, we reap what they've sewn.

Chicken is one of the most powerful obesogens in your diet. The chicken that you are eating has almost nothing in common nutritionally with the ones grown in 1961.

Meat is not healthy for anyone and chicken is one of the most concerning meats available for its health consequences. The more meat a human eats in their lifetime, the younger they die and the more major diseases they experience. The top killers of humans this year are all directly caused by or closely related to meat consumption.

"Protein" is not a meaningful nutritional category for the average person. If you are getting enough calories from whole plants, you are automatically getting enough protein. Protein does not have to be supplemented.

It's also relevant to this discussion that chickens are the most abused animal on the planet. There are almost 27 billion chickens living in atrocity right now. The experiences of animals are real and matter.

I mean, it's not AI doing this. AI doesn't have a gun to anyone's head.

Don't blame me, I thought we should all host static FOAF/RDF on our personal web servers.

I know this game and this feels like something only the developer's mother would say.
