Sure, but I don’t think that a ribeye deserves the same untouchable nature as continuing the human species. Especially because if we get too many people choosing the child free route, suddenly your retirement plan will need to include a bullet. We don’t have to all go full vegan, but would it be the end of the world to have a passing relationship with beans, or at least give the impossible whopper a try.
I would say that a species intelligent enough to believe in God could be divine. So I don’t think orangutans or gorillas would be, but we have archaeologic evidence that Neanderthals had some form of religion, so they may also have souls.
Kind of like saying the best birth control is abstinence. Technically true, but most people are going to have kids anyway. As long as we stay around replacement rate, which most western countries are at or below, having kids is a good thing so that society can keep going as people (ideally) retire. So while we’re all still here, how can humans lessen our emissions. That’s the question.
To start your Tesla you must now tweet the word “start”
Why don’t more people move to Flagstaff if they want to live in Arizona? Further north and higher altitude means more reasonable temperatures. They have actual pine forests in the middle of the martian-looking desert. It’s really cool. Plus, they’re closer to both the Grand Canyon and the Antelope Canyon, not to mention the Utah national parks. But for some reason everyone moves to Phoenix and Tucson.
I think the comparison is, in the eyes of Blamemeta, between a thing that is very severe and a thing that is somewhat less severe. If that’s the case, equating the two must either exaggerate the severity of the latter or minimize the severity of the former. So I think Blamemeta is trying to say that it cheapens the severity of the holocaust, not realizing that the word “whitewash” implies that it’s deliberate, i.e. that Acharnien also agrees that Russia’s law isn’t a big deal and want to use it to downplay the holocaust. But I think it’s more likely they just meant to say “cheapens” instead of “whitewash” lol
Decent point. But then why send them back?
