You could argue that our way of life in wealthy countries is impossible without the exploitation of the third-world. Does that mean we are a higher class of humans? No.

Let’s just strive to be as harmless as possible and leave our grand philosophical ideas about who is better than who aside.

Compare: it’s rape to have sex with someone underage, but two underage people can have sex with each other without it being rape.

Not everything is black and white. You are painting a picture where we have two options: (1) cause as much harm as we please and not worry about the consequences, or (2) cause no harm at all by eradicating our species from the face of the Earth (which would actually cause a lot of harm to members of our species but we’ll sidestep that for now).

But this is of course a false dichotomy. Because there are degrees to this. A vegan diet is undoubtably less harmful, both in its carbon footprint and in the direct harm in causes to other species. So if someone wants to reduce the amount of harm they are causing it’s the way to go. So why try to diminish that with this ridiculous dichotomy between death to all humans or unmitigated animal torture? If someone wants to decrease of amount of harm they are causing shouldn’t we be encouraging this sort of prosocial mindset?

Bro would rather exterminate all humans than admit that he should just go vegan

What got you banned specifically? Just curious

Readers can think for themselves

Wikipedia has an internal Wiki page to help editors identify AI written text. A lot of it is very informative. This could be useful for your purposes. Here’s the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing

Interesting thank you. The integrated drivers thing would make it difficult to hack but I guess its always possible to crack the smoke alarm and replace the drivers, if someone really wanted to get their hands dirty

Interesting. I’ve never heard of a piezoelectric buzzer before. This is the answer I was looking for. Thanks!

Linking to Reddit on Lemmy is blasphemy. (But thanks for the link lol its informative)

You can also make hard drive heads play music.

How does this work?

Nice

Ah okay that makes sense. Too bad the drivers are closed source that might be the cause of a lot of these issues

Nice. Which model is it?

Yeah do people actually pay in that price range for health care in the US? If so then thats absolutely bonkers

Why are linux options light on the tablet front? It should work the same as on a laptop

Right. But in this particular case it doesn’t make sense. If microbial life were found on, say, Mars then that would be a discovery by NASA, which is a civilian agency. As far as I’m aware you don’t need a security clearance to work at a civilian agency.

On the other hand if the US  found some unknown craft flying in their sky that would immediately become a military matter and so be classified by default

Yeah. If they classify microbial life because it conflicts with religious dogma then you’d expect them to classify any scientific finding that conflicts with religious dogma, which doesn’t seem to be the case.

Why would they classify that information if its just microbial? The motivation for classification is clear if the aliens are flying around in UFOs (so they can reverse engineer their tech without adversaries of the US finding out) but there is no realistic motivation for why they might classify microbial life

Yeah thats my point
