got it. thank you for the in-depth explanation

if someone is harassing or mistreating you on the basis of your voting, then you can take it up with an amin.

this is a highly demanding solution for a misbehavior that takes very little energy to engage in. at least in my experience with admins, even when you have an effective one that doesn’t mean they will be effective in the coming months or years. ultimately a lot of people will end up having to explain somebody else’s bad behavior to another who just might not care.

but never mind that. what I’ve actually got to wonder is what does having votes public even accomplish positively? is the goal to help users understand each other based on actions we made that up to this point we thought were anonymous?

I mean, same

yeah this is awesome. is it basically The Dark Tower?

guy who only says dumb shit

hello yes I would like to apply to join a squad

that’s good. I’m glad the birb isn’t at risk while killing the robit

I hope that doesn’t hurt to do. it’s cool as hell to see but I’m unaware of how many rotor blade impacts a hollow bird bone can take

ooh yeah that does sound like dumb fake concern. the relationship we have with bees is ideally pretty mutually beneficial and outside of the framework of an idea like theft. Christianity does seem like a good analoge for it. like there’s people who obviously don’t get the ethics of it beyond a aesthetic performance.

somebody else in the comments just told me that in industrial honey farms will do things like clip the wings of queens to prevent them from moving colonies away so I can understand the concern there though. or that domestic bee colonies disrupt local wild ones which is also valid.

I’m of the same mindset as you then. something I realized a while back is there are humane ways of doing agriculture but the demands of capitalism have forced us to take the exploitation of animals and workers to insane body horror places. I don’t think I can live animal product free but I absolutely respect people who do and I’m definitely invested in changing our economy into one that doesn’t require infinite growth at the cost of all this suffering.

oh daaammn. okay that’s what I was curious about. seems like every agriculture trade gets taken to fucked up places in order to meet the demands of industry. thanks for providing the link.

i like to give people the benefit of the doubt. sure there’s a specific kind of environmentally concerned person who will create ineffectual solutions to non-problems because they either don’t actually know about the animal or they are just gritting but I try to hear it from the horse’s mouth before I assume it’s entirely unhelpful

all I have to go on are the local beekeepers I’ve met and they’re a far different operation from what I imagine wholesale honey industry looks like. it could be as wide of a gap between the ethics of sustenance livestock vs industrial but I don’t know

yessss horseman of plague wins again baybeee. can’t stop the cough

that would make sense. I’m unsure of whether it’s helpful, but I forgot that goal of veganism could extend to domestic bees as well. are there any vegans who can clue me in on the thought process regarding bees?

I don’t think they are. I could have swore that the looming death of most pollinators was on the horizon.

love how some people’s plan for surviving ecological collapse is just to craft products (that they assume are) without the endangered ecology. like, good job the assignment was to save the damn bees but yeah I’m sure all the plants will be able to survive if we smear them with synthetic honey.

really gotta stop leaving it to to perps to hold themselves accountable for serious crimes
