  • While it could naturally be possible to have a dog live on a vegan diet, I would never recommend that anyone does it without significant communication with veterinarians and other professionals in dog health. It is very easy to cause dietary deficiencies in your dog and cause very harmful, possibly irreparable damage in the process. It's also important to note that it's much more complex than just looking at nutrient contents since the way that a dog's body processes food differs significantly from how a human's does.

    Dogs come from a long evolutionary line that has adapted to a diet that includes animal products for millions of years, haphazardly removing animal products from their diet without preventing the possible consequences for doing so is animal cruelty.

  • Okay, I have a sneaking suspicion that it's kind of an apocryphal reverse-explanation to counter currently all-too-common abusive behavior towards service personnel. I think it's just an old motto that once made more sense than it does today when it's been in use for over a hundred years.

  • I've seen this before but is that truly the origin? On the Wikipedia page, the quote(s) do not seem to allude to taste or buying preferences at all but rather to customer service. I've tried searching but I haven't seen any primary sources state that the original quote, or intent, was with the inclusion of "in matters of taste".

  • There are plenty of spaces where alcohol use or being drunk are not allowed, does that mean that alcohol usage in these spaces is running rampant? No. Because there's a difference between a complete societal ban and restrictions in certain areas.

    You could easily ban phone usage during classes and allow kids to use their phones during breaks, with the punishment for using them during class being confiscation until the end of the school day. You can teach digital literacy and responsible usage of technology and/or the internet without kids having their phones in their hands when you teach it.

    Apps are made to be addictive, it's understandable that kids could have issues concentrating on things that seem less interesting when an entertaining distraction is right at their fingertips.

  • I'm pretty dumb when it comes to digital architecture/infrastructure and I didn't really have an issue with Lemmy/Kbin, I think it comes down a lot to how you explain it.

    Maybe ISPs is an okay comparison? Most of us are on different ISPs but we access the same internet.

  • I think that might be related to whether someone sees people as good and bad, or as being capable of doing good and bad things.

    From how I see it, classifying people as just good and bad is very reductive in that you assume that bad people do bad things with bad intentions and the opposite for good people. That means that if you're certain that you're a good person, you don't need to question your own actions or motives because you can't do bad.

    If you however see people as capable of making good or bad actions with good or bad intentions, you should realize that people you see as good can do bad things and vice versa. That means you should always examine your own motivations and your own decisions to make sure you're doing the right things for the right reasons.

    I personally believe this is why it is so common among certain activist groups to harbor some absolutely atrocious beliefs that seem contrary to what they're working for.

  • I thought right-hand rule with Z up as thumb was standard in science? You usually project on the xy-plane, for example when calculating the distance to objects on a flat surface.
