Well, yes. That sounds reasonable at first.
But also, think of the broader public reaction, if governments started banning meat / animal products / whatever industries that exploit animals.
I do not think most people would be fine with a government mandated ban on those goods/practices.
Big Oof.
Thanks for the note, I was kinda hastily writing this and not thinking it through.
At least for my part:
For the same reason I try to fight against injustices for people?
Why do I, as a male, condemn sexist behavior and fight against it? Why do I, as a teacher, stand in for the rights of my students when they get wronged? Why do I, as a human, hate to see other people fighting?
It’s a mixture between empathy and a feeling of justice.
I just dislike unjust behavior - and for me, animal cruelty is unjust.
Damn. That really sucks. I enjoyed Pauls videos so much, they’re the reason I watch “challenge run” content at all.
I really hoped he could pull through and stay sober after he announced his last hiatus, but I guess alcohol wins this one.
Addictions are cruel.
Would actually be a chad move
I see Dirk Gently’s, I upvote. And that scene also fits so well :D
Major problem I forgot: I think the dialogues are text based, so you might have to read it out loud or wait until your kid can read at a comfortable speed (if she can’t already). :)
Hey!
It’s not coop, but I recently played “The Big Con” (with Gamepass) and it’s more of a fun ride with an easy control scheme and decent puzzles. While the FeMC isn’t the classic “strong female lead”, she is a teenager growing up and develops throughout the game and it’s story.
I found it very funny (your daughter might not get every joke, tough), depicts some good topics (trust, family and responsibility) in a very lighthearted way with a cute art style. :)
You can both be right
Good points, actually. I can’t really comment on the nature of free will, as I don’t know how common nihilism stands on that matter (I would say that a determined universe seems more “cruel”, tough). Whether or not free will exists you could still argue that the actions of people are still the result of the universe
Right. I don’t have much information on nihilism beyond “life is suffering”, and I’m not sure it applies to these Pop-Nihilists. But I’m sure they world argue that no external entity is needed to deem the universe as cruel. If I were to make a guess, I’d say they would likely refer to the laws of nature in place of the universe, deeming “nature” (if you will) as cruel, or at least uncaring. Tough, this would be far from the initial “life is suffering” claim, I’m sure it would entail some form of effect nature has on the human psyche (e.g. causality/determinism and with that certain unappealing emotions like hopelessness or frustration). If anyone knows more or would tend to disagree, please let me know :)
All in all good meme, but not very coherent critique, in my opinion
Mass Effect had some real good dialogue for background chatting. This piece in particular is really immersive and funny to boot.
