Everyone's morals are subjective lmao, it's phillosophy, it's subjective by definition. Eating meat is part of nature. We may take it to an extreme, but if it was so reprehensable and evil, i'd argue it wouldn't happen in nature.

What's fucked up is our lack of respect for the food we eat. The waste, the cruelty of factory farming, that part of it.

I’m probably in quite a few. Went on a tour in China and got held up in the Forbidden City for about 45 minutes when a line formed of people taking pictures with me and randomly giving me their babies to take a picture with. Was odd, but our guide said it’s not uncommon to happen from time to time when a foreigner looks uniquely different. I guess being 6’4” and having long blue hair was what drew people that day.

WTF Kyle Rittenhouse was totally prepared to murder someone, he killed two, and he walks free.

Just start fights and have deadly weapon on you.

Any half descent coach or trainer in any sport will spend time teaching their novice trainees how to breath properly.

This gets posted about once every two or three days in here and it still get upvotes. Mind boggling.

We're speaking practically rather than technically here:

Nearly 90% of humans live in the northern hemisphere. People who were developing mapping and navigation techniques did so primarily in the northern hemisphere. So for them, 'north on top' was not arbitrary at all but rather very practical.

Ok, but what I'm essentially asking is

If you lived in a time when slavery was broadly considered ok, would you advocate that it stop or that it continue?

Yeah, I bet you hear a lot of arguments like this in Australia, and Chile, and Argentina, and the Union of South Africa. Go with whatever works.

This person porns.

As I said, it's up to humanity to decide. If owning people is wrong then society will change. But I don't believe eating meat is in any way comparable

Cool. But it used to be considered ok to own humans as property, and not ok to help those humans escape from their owners.

Are you saying that at that time, it was actually good to own humans, and actually bad to help them escape?

Correct. And vise versa. Society says rape is wrong so it is

Ok, this is a different argument, but I'm happy to discuss your perspective. You seem to be saying that if society generally says something is ok, that means it's actually ok. Did I get that right?

You start looking north when you orient yourself using a map. North may not necessarily be "up" but it is forward. North was determined by a combination of Polaris and compass direction. So, 2 reasons right there. Same concept of why clocks turn clockwise, sundials.

No ones saying anything an animal does is ok. Otherwise we would be saying rape is ok cause animals do it. Morality is human, it's up to us to decide how the world is morally governed and we have decided that eating animals is right

Its very ressource efficient to clear water in a water treatment plant. Way better than every household having to purify water themselfs by boiling it. And now that we already have it it would be just stupid to build a complete second system just for dirt bowl water.

What people can do and what is becoming quiet popular is to buils tanks for rainwater and use that to do stuff like flushing toilets or watering plants. But that rather little bit of piping (when building new, retro-fitting is a pain in the ass) costs very little. Waaaaaay better, cheaper and efficient than building an entirely new network.
