  • I don’t think that ended aligning with the facts. In all respects he would be “swing voter” in the midwest ; he was largely apolitical and killed kirk because kirk spread hate about people he cared about.

    Which is 100% true of charlie kirk no matter who you are. Kirk was anti women, anti trans, deeply racist, and deeply annoying. There is nobody who doesn’t have one of his hated groups in their family and who doesn’t have some reason to be annoyed by him.

    Imo, don’t think about it too hard. I think it makes more sense to eat creatures based on a mix of survivorship curve and whether they are intelligent enough to need to be confined.

    If you’re building infrastructure more to contain animals rather than keep other ones out, imo that’s the pivot point.

    Idealized survivorship curves:

    Type 1 and 2 are easy no’s. Type 3 is generally fine as long as its not like an adult turtle or octopus. Type 3 organisms are probably going to get eaten a lot and early in nature while its rare for the adults to get eaten.




  • There’s a lot riding into that figure: asymmetric policing, asymmetric wealth, racist violence by white to black tends to go unreported, etc.

    Edit: also there is a recurring, unsubtle theme in history of falsified reports for insurance or PR where people will say they were attacked by a black man. There’s at least two notable instances from characters that earned a Dollop episode giving police a description of a fully fabricated black man.

    I guess it depends on if people think roadkill is vegan; the dead wasp is part of the life cycle of the wasp/fig symbiosis so its going to die well before humans intervene.

    Imo the argument could be made that by clearing land for vegetables there’s a large reduction in habitable natural environments. This results in things dying that normally wouldn’t. Especially true when you consider pesticides.

    So is the problem the dead bug in the fig or the dead bug outside, say, an apple?
