  • Sport news is news. However most sport news is not significant enough to make “front page”. What would make front page are some records etc. World cup is really important event. For humanity not just for sport fans. It is on pair with olimpic games. While I do not want to know who won in some random sport I do want to know if some significant records were broken or other significant stuff happenig.

    The same goes for celebrities. I do not wan to know what happened to kardashians. But I want to know if Melania Trump died of cancer.

    I do not think “news” community is meant only of “geopolitical news”.













  • By practice I got to the point small talk with strangers does not feel strange. And by doing this I noticed that I help strangers way more often.

    Last time I noticed a man carrying his heavy kiting equipment. He was really struggling. I had some time so I helped hin carrying to the other end of the city.

    Old me would never do that. I noticed I am also way better wigh kids. They like me and I am the best uncle.

    Originally my personality is being a introverted geek whose enegry is drained by the people. But I wanted to change that. It worked wonderfully. It shows how much in a control of your life you can be.


  • Directly telling them is common enough.

    But if we count indirectly telling it is erverywhere. It is brought up in conversations and it is all over social media mostly in a form how they think how immoral is to have kids.

    Most probably because some people think they have to explain and appologise for not having kids. And they do that in a form of attacking how having kids is bad and morally wrong. It also does not help that social media is boosting this types of posts because they draw attention.

    It might just be me. But I see probably a post like that every day. I have never in my life hear someone explaining how having kids is good or directly say that I should have kids.



  • Do you not understand? Or do you not want to understand?

    If you really want to understand, I will explain everything and show you how deeply wrong you are. However I will not spend time explaining, if you will then still continue with this “I am used to this system so everyone else must be wrong.” approach.

    But if you like being wrong I recommend you at least not publicly announcing it.

    what industrial meat, egg or milk production or similar situation have you been in?

    =>

    I do not know. I was never in that situation. For some reason you expect that I would be shocked or that I could not stand such experience. But we have obviously a different standards on what an acceptable cruelty towards animals is. Maybe explaining what is happening was something that changed your opinion. But if you would try to convince as many people as possible and save as many animals as possible you should definitely change your strategy. Because most meat eaters know that and how much animals suffer. And we do not care. Because animal suffering is obviously not enough a priority to change even eating habits. This is genuine advice. Do with it what you want.

    they get forcefully impregnated As almost every wife in arabic country. And they would still prefere to exist. And also as most animals in animal kingdom. What they experience is way closer to rape than is to voluntary action as we understand it.

    they just don’t really get to move

    As lots of sick and/or old people. And most still prefere to exist.

    every offspring gets taken away

    As it is with moms whose kids die because of sickness or accidents. And they still most often prefere to exist.

    in the house where all the blood and screaming is

    As any solder and hospital worker (or butcher) And they still prefere to exist.

    Some people experience lots od things mentioned above. And I am not claiming those are good things. I am not arguing killing of animals is awesome or we should not abandon it.

    I am arguing you are underestimating how much existence is worth. Some people value it less (probably you?), and would kill (euthanize) themselves if they would have to experience stuff mentioned above. But I argue lots and probably most people would still prefere to exist even though they lived horrible life you mention.

    I argue that having a horrible, short life that is terminated forcefully is worth more than not existing at all. And this is by a standard of lots of people. We do not even know what percentage of people think this. And we are way more clueless about animal opinion on the matter.
