Alternatively, as a smaller scale, 158 cm and 188 cm are only 0.01727909011373578 and 0.020559930008748905 football fields, respectively. Hope this helps.
"Holy crap", "God damnit", 'Dear god", "What the hell", these are all things I say regularly despite not believing in any holy things, gods, or hells. It's simply a part of my vocabulary, which tends to happen when you grow up in a country surrounded by people that actually do believe in those things.
Okay? The ONLY thing I mentioned was them calling people murderers. Glad you haven't, but I have had that happen. Another thing I've seen that I have issue with is vegans pushing their diets on their carnivorous pets. Like cats. But I have literally no problem with 99% of vegans expressing their beliefs.
Yes, I’m quite aware vegans have a reason to be upset.
their just cause
Like I said. I even think they're usually in the right. While I'm not a vegan for my own personal reasons, I hope they eventually make a positive change in the world.
I mean, you are paying someone else to do those things for you.
That's not exactly what's going on. I believe a more apt way to describe it would be paying somebody that has harmed animals. This may sound like a distinction without a difference, but I don't believe it is. Whether I buy pork at a grocery store or not, they aren't going to kill any fewer pigs because of it. It's not like the slaughterhouse is going to butcher exactly one less pig because I stopped buying meat. If I decide not to buy pork chop the next time I go to a store, either somebody else buys the pork, it's donated to a food bank right before expiry, or it's just thrown away. The pig is already dead, and the meat goes somewhere regardless.
Unless you're the type of person that eats meat every day, there is very little change you can make at an individual level. Of course, much like voting, change starts to happen once you get a lot of people to make that individual choice. Get 20 people to stop buying pork, and the store might order less. But at that point, I would argue it is far more of a societal issue. So while we are directly responsible for what happens to farm animals, I don't think it's at the level of us literally killing them ourselves.
Yes, I'm quite aware vegans have a reason to be upset. Unfortunately, equating eating meat or drinking milk to personally murderering and torturing animals is not going to earn them any fans, and will in fact push people away from their just cause out of spite.
That's not at all relevant to the comment I was responding to, though.
If anything, this would be an appeal to authority. It's not like the post is saying half of the American people believe it's genocide and therefore it is. No, the claim is that several relevant organizations like the ICC, ICJ, and Human Rights Watch, etc., are saying that it is genocide. That'd be like claiming that the vast majority of climate scientists believing in global warming is supporting evidence that global warming is likely true. It is. It's not enough evidence on its own, but it is evidence nonetheless.
That's the thing. Not all appeals to authority are fallacious. Supporting a claim with an expert's opinion is a logically sound way to support an argument.
In this exact scenario, I feel like the bottom track would slow the trolley down quicker, no? There is no room to stabilize, just pure flesh on wheel, 24/7. Not to mention the constant sharp turns, I think it would topple over long before the top one reaches its final kill count.

Truly a double edged sword.
