If you look too closely at any way humans use animals, it gets sad really fast.

Some people see no inherent value in animals aside from the utility they have for humans. It allows them to justify whatever we do to animals as long as it provides some perceived benefit to us.

I would suspect this train of thought leads some to conclude that dog fighting is ok since it provides entertainment to people, in the same way that farming animals is ok because it provides food that people enjoy eating.

Now you and I know that dogs, like most other animals, are sentient. They have a subjective experience that allows them to feel fear, loss, pain, happiness and love. This is why I (and I suspect you) believe dogs should not be forced to fight each other for our amusement.

As pointed out in the graphic, most people feel that at least some commodification of animals is morally justifiable. It’s up to you where you would draw the line.

I won’t speak for other vegans, but my research into beekeeping and honey production turned me against the industry for the following reasons:

• Beekeepers will commonly clip the wings of queens to keep them from swarming or leaving.
• Semen is commonly extracted from bees by crushing them.
• Honey taken from hives is commonly replaced with a nutrient-devoid sugar solution, affecting the health of the bees.
• Selective breeding of honeybees has made them more susceptible to diseases which can also affect native insects.
• Honeybees have been shown to cause serious disruptions to plant-pollinator networks, putting local pollinators at great risk.

The Lemmy equivalent of a “subreddit” is called a “community”.

Wow that actually looks really cool. Now, how much do I owe you?

This take will probably be unpopular, but FWIW I agree with you. I rarely use the community feature and I don’t care about the trading so personally I would like it if they just stuck with what they do well.

His heart got smaller too

I think it depends on the circumstances. I work for a publisher and submitted a request for one of my clients copyrighted books to be removed from the archive, and they took it down the same day.

No we should just replace all helpful answers with “drink glue”

The fucksmith post in question has been removed by moderators, so I wonder if Google really is pressuring Reddit to remove jokes from their platform now. This person had no idea their shit post would be used to train AI over a decade later, and they certainly weren’t violating any policies when they posted it. It’s like nobody involved in this process knew anything about Reddit.

Pay $60 million to train on bad data.
Implement AI trained on bad data.
Panic when the AI returns bad answers.
Manually remove bad data.
Profit??

Edit: it was removed when I checked yesterday, but it looks like they restored it.

The word you’re looking for is omnivores

Reviewers are saying it is not able to do this, along with several other promised features.

The article is about faked images, so it makes sense they’d make the thumbnail image appear fake at a glance.

Which comes first, the progressive candidate or the progressive voter?

If Lemmy has taught me anything this is a Linux user’s dream because now they can install Linux on the machine.

ALL HAIL THE ALGORITHM

It’s annoying but I get it. If you want to make it or stay big on YT you gotta play the game, and the majority of people eat up click-baity titles and obnoxious thumbnails.

Another great charity evaluator is https://www.givewell.org/. Their mission is to find charities that save or improve lives the most per dollar spent, and their findings are research-backed and evidence-based. 100% of your donation goes to the charity you support. They also evaluate the lowest cost to save a human life, which is currently about $3k-$5k. Their top rated charities are involved in malaria prevention:

1. Malaria Consortium
2. Against Malaria Foundation
3. Helen Keller International

Aww man, why is the answer always “practice”? /s
