Link is actually the name of the princess, the character's name is Zelda.

Das ist was ganz anderes, da geht es um die Sicherheit der Kinder! Findest du es etwa gut, dass Kinder Opfer sexueller Gewalt werden!?

Stimme grundsätzlich zu, aber auf deren Website steht überall "cruelty-free", was schon zumindest irreführend ist.

I'd just like to point out that if Signal leaves the EU, it will most likely just mean that it's not available through the official app stores. With Signal updating itself, it's just a little inconvenient to install it on a new device, though, they even said that they'll try to make it as easy as possible.

Oh, I'll have to admit, for some reason I didn't consider the meme when interpreting your comment, thought you were just answering to the title of the post.

Personally, I think that a charitable society should strive towards being compassionate to all sentient beings. It's understandable and even necessary to our survival that we put ourselves first, but we're at a point where we could easily diminish a huge chunk of pain and suffering from animals just with the mild inconvenience of changing our eating habits. That's one of the better points the meme makes, the drawback isn't some unacceptable sacrifice.

If you are asking me: “when do you think veganism makes a good case?” then I would say: when it makes the point that if we don’t switch our diet we would end up destroying ourselves, since our current diet does not seem to be sustainable long term for our environment.

That's a great argument to go plant-based, but veganism, by definition, is about reducing animal exploitation "as far as possible and practicable" (according to the vegan society who invented the term). Note that there's leeway for compromise.

wouldn’t the Earth be “better” without humanity? if the goal was really about minimizing suffering, that might be a good approach wouldn’t it?

Why stop there, we could probably eradicate life on earth completely, ending all suffering?

Jokes aside, you're using the word argument and claim it's not reasonable, but I fail to see "the vegan argument" in your comment, whatever this is. The goal to reduce (needless) suffering of animals is merely a stance.

Veganism is a compromise, nothing more, nothing less. Vegans still have a will to live like most sentient beings, and to a degree that always includes weighing opposing interests. To give an example, hardly any vegan will argue that we shouldn't use non-vegan medicine if there's no plant-based alternative.

The question is where to draw the line. One could come to the conclusion that some suffering of animals is needless, e.g. if the only purpose is to give one a cheap, delicious meal.

If you're really interested in learning about logical arguments in favor of reducing animal suffering, there's a bunch of philosophers who worked on that, Peter Singer comes to mind.

I do wonder, though, why do you think it's reasonable to put importance on humanity or its future at all? Might as well just put importance on oneself, no?

Das schöne daran ist, dass man auch Jahre nachdem man Leistungen erhalten hat noch was davon hat. Während man als Beziehender für jeden Scheiß sofort eine Frist von wenigen Wochen gesetzt bekommt, darf das Jobcenter sich entspannt mal mind. 4 Jahre Zeit lassen, bis ihre Forderungen verjähren.

Das Problematische an der Sache ist, dass Menschen mit Sozialphobie das Ganze dann schnell mit vermeintlicher Introversion rationalisieren.

Don't you worry, EU votes on killing end-to-end encryption in private messaging next week.

Was gibt es eigentlich so an Plänen, wie man am Ende damit umgeht, wenn die Chatkontrolle live geht?

Signal hat ja angekündigt, sich offiziell aus der EU zurückzuziehen, will es den Nutzern aber leicht machen, weiter auf anderen Kanälen als den gängigen Appstores verfügbar zu sein. Aktuell ziehe ich wieder mal in Erwägung, dann Signal als Ultimatum zu stellen, wenn jemand noch mit mir schreiben will.

Was habt ihr sonst so für Ideen?
