Can anyone eli5?

It’s sad that the commenter allows his children to go cyberpsycho on virtual bystanders but won’t allow them to see a nipple.

There is a reason the game has an age restriction.

Having sex is probably something you will do in your life, mass murder is not.

And just as hitting several hookers in downtown los Santos with a virtual bolide won’t make you a deranged carkiller, being exposed to a booby won’t make you a sex-driven pervert.

You allow them to murder hundreds of virtual people or creatures, but sex is a bridge too far?

Watch the footage (warning: they are quite explicit) on the source I have linked. The shooter guns them down and then executes them.

On driving factor is the (over)use of antibiotics in animal agriculture. It’s weird the article touches this issue in just one sentence…

“Over 70 percent of antibiotics sold in the United States are given to livestock, including cattle, which translates to significant human health impacts.”

“Unlike with human medicine, however, antibiotics are often fed to cattle as a preventative measure, rather than as a treatment.”

“Antibiotic resistance in cattle does not only affect the health of the cattle, it impacts people as well because many of the antibiotics given to cattle are also used in human medicine. Eating meat or consuming milk from an animal with antibiotic-resistant bacteria may infect a human with that same resistant bacteria”

Although good news, maybe do something about the fact that every minute 13 million dollar in subsidies is going to fossil fuels… In 2022 the total was 7 trillion, dwarfing the 1 trillion for renewables (globally)

Again who is going to work towards industrial action? Not the industries… That’s not how capitalism works. Do you really think that asking them to be more climate friendly will work?

Industries listen to two things: money and policy. And I’m not even so sure about the latter. Vote at the ballot and vote with your wallet.

If you don’t want to change, the CEO of BP won’t either because he’s still getting those tasty dollars out of your pockets at the pump and through government aid.

It is genetically the same thing? Have you ever read something on cultured meat before you made this statement?

The only way to do this is to not buy products that are incredibly harmful to the climate and voting for politicians that want to sharpen climate policy. Industries won’t regulate themselves. Acting like the consumer/voter can’t do shit is just straight up lying and results in inaction.

Both are true: reducing waste and adopting a plant based diet are great ways of reducing your footprint.

The number of vegetarians/vegans is growing quickly. I’m not convincing you of going vegan. You are convincing yourself to keep on eating meat despite the scientific facts and moral consequences.

The problem is not the amount of people but how much each individual consumes. Getting meat out of your diet is a simple and a small sacrifice. Besides the health benefits there is also the fact that you don’t contribute to the culling of 70 billion animals per year (of which 40% is probably not eaten and thrown in the trash). Not only that but you don’t contribute to the greatest cause of deforestation, antibiotics resistance, decline of biodiversity, water waste, …

Besides the global population is steadily stagnating (Africa is still booming) as a lot of countries see population decline (less than 2 children per woman).
