Yea instead of firing you they'll try their hardest to get you to quit. They'll send you to the 追い出し部屋.

I agree and at this point I think I'm just making a semantic argument. To me, "Nazi sympathizer" implies that you share the beliefs of the Nazi party. But I'm not sure there is an agreed upon definition for this. Regardless I think it's worth drawing a boundary between "people that share Nazi beliefs" and "people that tolerate Nazis", and so I find it a little careless to use "Nazi sympathizer" as a blanket term for both. People might get the wrong idea when you start labeling them that way.

Not my actual favorite, but it's very high on my list, and I didn't see it posted yet.

I see no reason to migrate from sway.

I agree that Vaxyr has a terrible record with community-building and tolerates bullying.

I don't think it's fair to call him a Nazi sympathizer, based on the linked screenshots. He never said he espouses the ideology, he just said he wouldn't blanket ban Nazis from his server. Obviously that's a bad take, but it's not the same as being a Nazi sympathizer.

Batteries weigh less after discharging.

Hard drives weigh more with data stored on them.

Who am I kidding, I use Firefox.

I recently attended a Beyblade birthday party and it was rad.

Your last point hinges on a false equivalency. Imprisonment is also a crime, but we let the government imprison dangerous people for public safety. It's different when the government does it.

Obviously the death penalty is a different situation, but your logic doesn't hold up in either case.

To be clear, I don't support the death penalty. But people on the Internet seem to hate it when I play devil's advocate to sharpen an argument.

Use Jujutsu jj and you won't have this problem

I'm not making a larger claim here, I'm just asking the vegetarians to explain the logic of their belief.

It sounds like now you're saying that you want to reduce pain rather than the killing of intelligent/conscious life.

In that case would you be OK with slaughterhouses if they treated the animals humanely and killed them as quickly as possible before they could feel significant pain?

You're so right. I guess it doesn't matter what happens between now and the inevitable future. -_-

It is in my country.

Did you read the comment I replied to?

For me there's no morals tied to the level of consciousness. That allows for cherry picking.

No I wouldn't. But I would kill and eat an insect, fish, or bird.

Ok but plants are also living beings so you should not eat them by your rule.

How is it not? The most popular GPT models are trained on copyrighted works.

don't demonize tools, demonize what people do with the tools that's damaging

Depends on what tool you're talking about.

Sadly in this case the tool, in its product form, is already in breach of a moral principle, because it is a derivative work and stealing labor without consent.

If you are referring to the GPT algorithms, that's more subtle. We need to figure out how to regulate it better.

Is your belief based on an animal's capacity for consciousness? If so do you think all animals, regardless of their intelligence, deserve the right to not be eaten? Where would you draw the line?
