But I am indirectly affected greatly by overfishing and directly by the overall health of the oceans. The health of the environment directly effects me. So shouldn’t I also have some say in the health of the environment?
I think maybe I’m quibbling over word nuance.
Maybe I’ve got an odd take on it, or we’re saying the same thing. Like humans as a whole should definitely try to be more empathetic in their lives. Being more empathetic is something I’m working on a lot myself right now. i don’t think empathy is about “Feeling what someone else would feel if you were in their situation”. I say that because everyones experience of life is different, some people feel pain more than others, or social pressures, or hunger, or whatever. What I mean is that we experience the world uniquely, and empathy is coming to understand the unique experience of others. As in it’s not how I would experience their situation, but how they are experiencing their situation. And a coffee maker has no experience. But maybe I’m talking about something other than empathy
Isn’t that personification not empathy? Like you’re not understanding it’s feelings, but giving it feeling. I think it can be moral to attempt to fix the coffee maker. It also sounds emotionally exhausting (for me) to care that much about something that has no agency of it’s own.
Some friendly pushback to help me understand, overfishing doesn’t directly effect me, I don’t eat fish, I don’t live near the ocean. But I’d say it has lots of indirect effects on me. Incentive structures still promote overfishing. What do? What does force mean? Is changing the incentive structure force? Is fines for overfishing, or losing your commercial fishing license force?
(P.S. is know nothing about fishing, this is just to help frame my questions)
To me empathy is a social connection where feeling aren’t just being heard, but understood. I’m finding it difficult to understand how that could apply to an object, so what’s your definition of empathy?
Don’t just tease me like this, what’s the objective standard? And like I’m totally following along, but i still want to know what the disagreements are.
I just like ethics and want to hear what you think.
In terms of nations, I really have no idea what 3.5 billion means. Like is that a lot? I feel like we probably trade that much with China in like what, a week? A month, a day?
I’m lucky enough to I’ve around a couple of really good local creameries, and they have some amazing cheeses (Mooncake by sugar house creamery is my favorite). But a couple of years ago I became lactose intolerant. Cabot cheddar doesn’t bother me, but most other cheeses do. At least I can still eat as much goat cheese as I want.
Really sucks Cabot has gotten so expensive from the terrifs, it’s so much better than the store brand stuff.
It did matter, making them take measurements all over again was the part that fucked with them.
Ha! Gonna let my old boss know. We also did sheet metal fabrication, but very rarely did things need to be accurate to a 1/32nd
I worked for a bit as a high end roofer (USA), this is the first I’m hearing about different classes of measuring tape. We always used Stanley fatmax tapes, and so did just about every carpenter we worked with. I wonder how accurate that tape is?
I assume it was pretty accurate because we would always fuck with the new guys when they drew a cut line and asked what side of the line your supposed to cut from.
That’s astro boy isn’t it?
I feel like creator content isn’t about quality, but form. People watch the same TV shows from decades ago because they are familiar. Creator content is kinda like that, it’s cozy. It’s something you can just put on and zone out to. It’s interesting and entertaining, but it’s not very intense. Its usually people sharing their passions, so it feels very human and relatable too.
But also there’s probably something to be said about how much it cost to get started on YouTube vs how much it cost to produce a TV show or movie.
I don’t really have a problem with this. I paid for a lifetime quite a long time ago. Right now I only use Plex for plexamp and everything else is on jellyfin.
Is finamp at a point that it can replace plexamp yet?
I think the word you’re looking for is deepity.
A lot of the expensive eggs are more than just organic. There are other classifications for eggs too. Like cage free, or free range. These have increasingly strict regulations (for now I guess).
But free range chickens must spend a certain amount of the day outside, and below a specific population density for that range they are free in.
Cage chickens can’t move and shit right next to each other. They are more likely to get the flu I believe.
That 10% that’s good is still a larger library than you could ever reasonably expect to play, even if you don’t have a job. But I also think there’s a massive amount of games that could be good and just no one’s played them.
