That's the thing, though, European swords cover the whole gamut from ridiculously light foils to nutso zweihanders.

I get that Japanese swords are the same and there are ridiculous nodachi and tiny little wakizashi but the difference is of size more than form.

There's much more variation in European swords so it's hard to say 'the Japanese sword is better than the European one' because there's almost definitely a European sword specialized for whatever use case you're comparing the swords for.

Yeah, because it's a jraphical interface format.

What if they need to transport a load of bricks, or sand, or scaffolding?

I imagine there are more than a few loopholes in the 'no cars' policy.

Big logical gaps in this argument:

The op never said they were superior morally.

Even, given the above, the op deemed chickens immoral that does not make all chickens' actions immoral. Preening, roosting and eating grain are not immoral activities.

Defining only the horrible acts as horrible is a circular argument as no definition has been provided as horrible.

Other than those three, you really stuck it to the carnist, chief.

You understand the egg in this dish is unfertilized, yes?

Wow wow wow wow

Wow

This has big "the calculator isn't working" energy.

No sir, the calculator is working fine. The problem is somewhere between the chair and the keyboard.

I mean OP is trying to paint Linux as the more user friendly system and I think we can all agree that's BS.

Linux has many advantages. User Friendliness is not one of them

They killed a full quarter of their own country. Not in a neglectful kind of way, but full on mass executions, killing fields, concentration camps kind of way.

Pretty comparable, if you ask me.

Iain M Banks's Culture novels. User name is relevant.

Password managers are great. Until you need to log in with a new device or a device that's not yours.

Oh, the sixteen digit randomly generated password with two alphanumeric characters in it? Sure I remember that.

The top one says one in five executives agree with the statement. The corollary to this is the cast majority of executives do not agree with that statement.

It's a toss up between cowboy and samurai.

For Samurai it would depend on when. Samurai became defacto nobility, but they began in the 8th century as just mercenaries hired by local nobles to protect their estates.

But a cowboy is a life in the open air on a ranch. Hard work for sure, but hard work doesn't bother me.

Wondered how far I'd have to scroll to find this.

Thing is, every line Russia has drawn in the sand, accession to NATO, arms supplies to Ukraine etc have been proven to be empty words. Russia has backed off each time.

An attack on Poland from Belarus would quickly lead to an invasion from Poland. Securing Ukraine's northern border would free up a lot of Ukrainian resources and would put NATO soldiers in another neighboring country to Russia.

It would be suicide for Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

This is getting ridiculous, you are arguing from a place of ignorance. I've raised cheviot sheep for more than twenty years.

All species are native to somewhere, we haven't made species out of nothing. We've bred breeds, for sure.

I'm fascinated by your gormless attempts to explain my own culture to me. The sheep I raise come from flocks dating back to the neolithic. The techniques for raising them have barely changed in that time. The quad bike might raise a few caveman eyebrows but that's about it.

They free roam the moors nine months of the year, field graze for three. I honestly don't care what you think now. You have your own misinformed opinion of what all farming is like and you won't listen to someone who does it any other way.

You understand they breed themselves, right? The same species that were native to the area for millions of years before industrialisation will continue to survive there afterwards, just in much worse conditions and at a much lower population.

You have no problem with animals dying in pain as long as it stops them dying painlessly? Awesome

You're skipping over a hell of a lot of points with your 'just let them live in peace' bit. There are tens of millions of livestock just in my country that are entirely capable of living in the wild because that's how they currently live. In the UK, cows live in fields for ten months of the year and sheep live in fields throughout. There they are given antibiotics and protected from predators.

You let them out without anyone to take care of them and they will die by the millions every year. Do you know how many yows would die giving birth without human invention? Do you know the survival rate of twin lambs without human intervention? Do you think a life of disease, exposure and predation is better than the life they currently have?

The species as a whole would survive, but at a much lower population and in much worse conditions.

I swear vegans spout off about things they know nothing about.

Do animals in the wild not suffer more? From disease, from predation?

If we let every cow out of the farms tomorrow, how many billions will starve to death? Seems pretty cruel to me.
