all of agriculture is about 20% of out emissions. livestock is only a portion of that

they’re not babies, they’re calves. if you can get me some other figures I’d be happy to look at them. but the numbers I found support exactly what I said: hardly any calves end up as veal at all.

thousands_of_head_of_cows = 9448.0
actual_cows = 1000 * thousands_of_head_of_cows
annual_male_calves = .5 * actual_cows
veal_weight_of_calves_in_pounds = 260
annual_veal_production_in_millions_of_pounds = 58
annual_percentage_of_bobby_calves_that_become_veal = ((annual_veal_production_in_millions_of_pounds * 1000000) / (veal_weight_of_calves_in_pounds * annual_male_calves))*100
print(annual_percentage_of_bobby_calves_that_become_veal)

The dairy industry (probably as cruel as the egg industry, honestly) is why we have veal,

hardly any calves end up as veal at all.

Egg-laying hens are tortured in the commercial egg factories.

no, they’re not

all living beings, including insects, do not want to be harmed or die.

this is some wishy-washy phrasing. henry the eighth didn’t want an iphone.

lots of extraordinary claims here, but no proof at all

does this mean Karlyn borysenko is going to finally be deplarformed?

we’re clearly not going to agree about this. spam is already illegal, and ISPs are not police.

I checked on local fiber startups, and they don’t have any similar restrictions. I think I should be able to send mail without anything more than an internet connection. the canspam act already makes spamming a crime. I don’t need to be policed by Comcast.

i can still gripe about it.

my biggest gripe is that I’m technically violating my agreement with Comcast by pointing a tld at my IP address and hosting nextcloud and ssh. my second biggest gripe is that they block mail ports so I can’t even self host my mail

found an old unused laptop in my office the week i got the job. that week, i nuked it and installed deb12. i’ve since installed an inventory server in a virtual machine, and i’m afraid to break everything so i guess it’s gonna run deb12 for the forseeable future.

it’s not the exact same comment, it’s another study that poore-nemecek cites.

they’re not advocating for any of those, and they’re not committing a falacy.

so you recognize that this:

being vegan is one of the most significant reduction to greenhouse emissions that is within your personal choice

it’s not actually a good argument for veganism?

we use the soybeans for oil. the soy meal byproduct would be industrial waste of we didn’t feed it to livestock

Creating demand for the alternatives funds their R&D and furthers their availability, which in turn leads to better products for lower prices, which makes further adoption much easier.

there is no causal link between any of those events, and increased demand decrease availability.

I don’t really believe what economists claim, v but you don’t even seem to know what they say in the first place

thank you. no matter how many times I point out the inefficacy of consumer choices or how I word it, I end up with bad faith and fact-avoidant responses like you got.
