From twitter or like, from the human species?
Well my parents don’t like it when I call them dinosaurs.
One might even say, full sphere.
Fake nails. I have nothing against people who wear them, but for some reason it just instantly makes me think we are not compatible at all.
If it’s the SpongeBob squarepants theme then it’s ok. In fact that’s a bonus.
Isn’t doing things to avoid boredom exactly what a hobby is? :D would you consider hiking to be a hobby?
I read it more as an answer to people who might “wish justice” to people making false accusations. LTT seem to me to be saying that the law is probably on their side, but that they are willingly choosing not to follow through.
Had they not mentioned this, it might leave many people wondering?
Just my take on it.
Anyone can clearly see if edits have been made, and I have not made any. Please don’t fabricate lies.
Isn’t it?
When those are just the precursors to the horrible murder, I’d have to say yes, magnitudes worse.
And I never asked you to explain why rape is awful, I never disagreed with that. I wanted you to explain why it being a precursor to murder, makes it magnitudes worse than murder. But for some reason you insist on pretending that I’m asking “why is rape awful”??
I’m not sure why you are being so condescending. I’m well aware how brutal rape can be, I’m also aware how brutal murder can be. But this doesn’t explain the logic of yours that I wanted to understand, which was that “when rape includes murder, then rape is magnitudes worse than murder alone”.
Ah ok. I was thinking of specific instances rather than an indefinitely long situation, so I see where you are coming from now.
Then I think I’m not understanding something here, maybe you can explain (asking genuinely). Because it seems to me that what you said doesn’t make sense with the definition of the word?
It wasn’t whether they are worse (I’d agree that they are often worse), but if they are magnitudes worse. If the kidnap, imprisonment and rape of one person is comparable to the murder of hundreds or thousands of people (since that would be magnitudes more).
In my opinion to call one magnitudes worse than the other is to immensely downplay the seriousness of the other.
So to be clear, when something is magnitudes more than something else, that means on the scale of 100-1000x more, or even higher powers of ten. If rape + murder is magnitudes worse than murder, then definitionally rape alone must also be magnitudes worse than murder.
Of course multiple atrocities are worse than a single atrocity, but talking about one being magnitudes worse than the other, to me seems to immensely downplay the seriousness of the other.
For example, to me “murder is magnitudes worse than petty theft” would be an appropriate use of the word.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but it sounds like you are trying to say that kidnap and rape are magnitudes more horrible than being horribly murdered?
A pro Po, bin ich, auch Arsch.
It’s much more like politics than it is religion. People take a stance because of their values, ethics, mortality, etc (as opposed to religion which is generally a more irrational basis for belief). And the reasons for being loud about it follow from that.
So if you can understand why someone might proselytize about the situation in Gaza, then you should also understand why someone might proselytize for veganism, even if your views might align differently for different issues.
In seriousness, the reason people try spread vegan ideas is the exact same reason people try spread their political ideas: because they believe there is injustice in the world which they are trying to help fix.
Because they make people want to mate with you
