Are they sentient? The above qualities describe sentience to a certain degree. Do plants feel grief? Do they feel fear?

But we’re just militant right?

Those EYYVIL hippies! Telling us not to commit murder??? TELLING US NOT TO DRINK COW TITTY JUICE??? HOW DARE THEYYYY

Thank you for the post. The mental gymnastics that people go through to justify murdering these animals is crazy

Awww did we hurt your feelings?

Animals (cows in this case) feel pain, fear, grief and so on. Plants don’t. We can survive just fine without murdering millions of sentient animals.

Killing dogs and eating their meat is animal abuse. Doing the same to cows isn’t. Quite hypocritical if you ask me.

Awww so cute! Now lemme murder this beautiful creature so that I can enjoy a good steak for myself! In no storybook would I ever be considered the villain! /s

Nazis are all in on vegetarianism.

This is totally not an attempt to make a bad faith argument against vegetarianism btw.

Absolutely correct decision. YouTube is just so incredibly poor. They really need money guys. In fact, we should set up a donations page to support this great organization that totally respects its users and artists while being very strict against spam, dangerous misinformation and state funded propaganda! /s

In other words like GPUs. GPUs suck ass at complex calculations. They however, work great for a large number of easy calculations, which is what is needed for graphics processing.

Thin Blue line fellas being hypocrites again smh /s

Then it’s a badly implemented system. A good system won’t be able to have such leaks.

Nooo ur documents. Not ur private key lol (it wouldn’t exactly be private now, would it). Let’s say u lose ur private key. U would have to manually do shit like u do when u lose ur passport.

What I’m saying is, ur identity being deleted only if the government AND u lose all ur data on all devices at the same time. Which is incredibly unlikely.

It’s like saying, “I don’t trust a papered system because the state buildings and my house could burn at the same time with my documents in them”

The government would have a copy as well! It’s just that it’s very hard for an entire government’s data and your data to get wiped at the same time.

Ah, yeah… Therein might lie an issue. 😅

But that’s an issue with papered systems as well, no?

It wouldn’t really affect u even if ur id got deleted. Let me explain. Ur id is nothing but information correct (your name, address, etc.). The same goes with contracts. What makes ur id special is that the government has verified it to be legit.

A very simple way of doing this is by making the government cryptographically sign ur id/contact. I would really recommend getting a functional understanding of how public-private key cryptography works. Basically, the government just has to put up its public key online. If u have ur id, u can verify if the document is issued by the government using their public key.

As long as the public key stays there, and u don’t lose ur id and contracts they won’t technically be lost.

Also, if the public key suddenly changes/disappears without being notice, everyone would know that something’s up. It’s like ur government building’s staff was suddenly replaced.

I can’t see how the blockchain would be particularly useful here either. The security features of the blockchain come at the cost of extreme energy usage. Storing documents using simple public-private key cryptography is waaaay more than enough imo.

Cryptocurrencies have no real world applications. AI does.

But no, AI bad AI bad AI bad AI bad lalalaa I can’t hear you AI bad /s

Didn’t know CCP bots weren’t capable of comprehending shitposts.
