“…the world thrives on its faults and strives, by every possible means, to aggravate them, while at the same time masking them like a congenital deformity. The signs are everywhere, though I could not always read them.”

Yes. But not for a long time.
I can believe it. Easily. No problem at all.
Nothing is horrible, but thinking makes it so.
Humans still do most of all these “horrible” actions. We have not changed. Some of us just are more empathetic and compassionate. Like we have always been.
Do we decide? We have already decided. That is my point. I reaffirm nothing. I only say, the word “murder” doesn’t apply.
The case has been decided, that non-human animal suffering is just not important. Not to the vast majority.
Hell, we can’t even agree that human suffering matters.
The word “murder” only applies to human animals.
And cows are certainly not “raped” for dairy, when a farmer shoves his entire arm inside a cow to for her to become pregnant.
Why? Because the word “rape” only applies to human animals.
Sadly. There are no right sides. Just sides.
Yes. Exactly. It is weird.
Why so sarcastic?
You get $2005 worth of wood to sell!
People say that a few large instances would be easy pickings for the profit motive, and monetizing.
There is a lot of handwringing over on mastodon about how people should not be directed to the large instances by default. And that people need to join the small instances to make sure mastodon (or fedi-verse) is not taken over by a few who want to profit off it. They mock those on large instances. They tell people they should join small instances.
But I have seen many small instances close and leave people in the lurch. I have seen a few people have to move several times.
I have seen users be abandoned and left with a broken instance that doesn’t work, and the admin nowhere to be seen.
I agree. But maybe the medium ones aren’t too bad.
Parasites can’t be scavengers.
Not as huge as it seems when we know we don’t have to kill for food.
Also, the west eats a good deal more meat than needed for living.
It’s funny that people think this is cruelty to animals, but they don’t think killing tens of millions of cattle a year for food is cruelty to animals.
Then there is the hundred of millions of pigs killed a year for food.
Anything at all.
Tee hee. I don’t use UserTuber.
I don’t think eugenics sounds good.
Nature will never be happy. Nature will always be tearing itself apart. I vote “all animals” for deletion.

Neither. Trick question.
I’d choose the secret third option:
The cyanide pill.
