  • I feel like this ignores the point many are making here.

    The statement that we are animals is true. But as many have pointed out, we have the extra layer of reasoning, introspection, and empathy.

    We can see the pain and torture subjected on other animals and reson that it is unjustified and empathise with the pain by thinking about how we would feel if in the shoes of the animals being slaughtered. We can look at outlr actions and decide to make a change.

    None of this, as far as we know, is possible for any other animal.

    This is a huge distinction and one that, as i said, you have either missed or ignored whilst reading these comments.





  • I know that the industry is horrific. I have battled internally with becoming a vegan. And this isn’t a but, it’s just something i thought about once when thinking about the argument that whilst in nature, animals eat other animals, its not the same as what we do as we farma dn torture animals to get the meat…

    Its cats…

    Cats torture their prey…

    They play with it, and maim it and keep it alive for as long as possible so they can chase it, for fun…

    And sometimes they just fucking leave it there when it dies.

    And we love cats. Even vegans love cats.

    And that sort of makes me laugh a bit.




  • My desktop and laptop are too clunky for day to day stuff. There are a wide range of things i now do on my phone that would be less than possible on a normal phone screen.

    I dont blame you for not seeing the benefits. Like i said earlier, you need to try it to get it.

    As for a self destructing screen, its nonsense. There are 5 people at my work that have folding phones. There are 2 fold 4’s 2 fold 5’s and a fold 3 as well as my fold 6, theres also my wife who has my 3 year old fold 3 and my brother who now has a pixel fold and no one has a broken screen. Oh! My mum and her partner both had flip 3 phones and have just bought the flip 6s and her partner ended up getting a fold 5 last year. No broken screens.

    If you know anyone who has broken a folding screen, that person would have a brokwn screen regardless of having a folding phone or not. The amount of broken screens or damages cases i see in my day to day is insane.

    I know even all of the examples i gave are anecdotal, but your claim about self destructive screens is simply false and not backed up with anything.

    I expect to have my fold 6 in 5 years still as good as when i bought it.


  • I guess you have to try one. I got a samsung fold 3, i loved it. Then, when my contract ended, i got a fold 6. I would have a hard time going back to a standard phone tbh.

    My wife said she wouldnt get a folding phone but when i got my fold 6 i offered her my fold 3. She ended up really liking it and wants to get a newer fold when her contract ends.

    So theres me, who knew i wanted one and am happy with it to the point where i cant go back. And my wife, who didnt want one but after trying one for a few weeks, said she got it now and would be upgrading to a newer fold when the time comes.

    They need to get these in peoples hands if they want to sell them better.








  • Ok, i was trying to make a joke to diffuse what was clearly an attempt to argue with me in a serious way about something that i was only arguing in a light-hearted way.

    I dont agree with you that someone being forced to join a military makes them exempt from any moral consideration when trying to determine whether to blow up a space station they are on.

    What choice would you have made if you had a gun to your head?
