Not to nit pick, but that is basically a variation of ROI. Return on investment, or very similar at least.

Value is not necessarily a formula but a metric. Exactly what you described as benefits. I think that is the practically the same since perception of value is based on the benefits. And it is indeed all subjective perception.

To make it even more interesting, perceived value could be totally manipulated up while actual received (quantified) value goes down. That’s marketing. ;)

But yes, fun to theorize on this! :)

I dont see it explained, but wouldn’t this cause catastrophic issues with the ecosystem? Bats and such rely on them. How will this not cause a collapse?

It’s overflowing!

This, and the measurement of the perception of “value” needs to be taken into account.

Anecdotal, no evidence. Did you get their health screenings? Did you have a baseline to compare it against?

Or are you just typing letters on an online forum?

I think you are.

Yes, and switch his name up and you not only have man but also anal. Coincidence? Maybe.

I just tried it together eith my GF. She doesn’t see the colors change. I block out the blue and they become gold/white to me. Doesn’t work the other way around seemingly.

Hey, not to be that guy, but viscose and “bamboo” etc. are not natural and environmentally friendly fabrics. They are from natural fibers but heavily chemically processed. I wear them too in boxers because they are very durable and nice to wear. But just wanted to inform you!

That’s an interesting take. I had not considered that.

At least while WFH one can move and stretch.

Worked for me in Europe. Do this yearly now.

This seems awfully not stretchy…

Not if everyone first joins ICE if that were to happen!

Okay, I will bite…

Your logic is completely flawed and it seems like an uneducated take at best. A troll comment at its worst. Veganism is about humans doing all that reasonably can be expected to reduce animal suffering.

By adopting rescues, suffering is reduced. Breeding of course does not constitute to that goal.

The alternatives are: letting then suffer on the streets or by killing them.

Killing animals goes against the core principle of veganism.

Adopting them is compassion.

Personally I would not consider myself an “owner” of a pet. I am simply taking care of them. Yes, it started involuntarily. Just like with a human orphan child that gets abandoned. They are scared and alone and do not have the full understanding of the world. It’s an intervention.

The fact that many pets eat meat might be counterintuitive at first sight. However, when you dive down in the philosophy then you will realize vegans do not intend force this way on other animals. Especially animals that have evolved to be carnivorous. Humans are omnivores that can completely sustain on plant material alone. Cats can not and for dogs it’s an ongoing debate.

Then, to add, most pet food is simply leftovers from the meat industry and plant matter. All this leftover meat would otherwise be wasted. Would you live on SPAM?

Feel free to form your own opinion, but don’t spew this hypocritical stance that you oppose upon vegans, like you get to have a say in the ethics. It’s easy to contest other philosophies while contributing nothing.

Tell me, how are you improving the world? Show me how you are free of hypocrisy. You’d be the first human…
