(Also for the record, I wasn't the one who reported your comment. Like i said, I was pretty sure you were being sarcastic, just not 100% certain).

Ah comrade, I shall take you off the list then :p

All good, across cultures tone and humour doesn't always translate well. There is also a literacy crisis in most (all?) English speaking countries which isn't helping. Given it is now often difficult to tell whether someone's writing is intentionally awful, or that they were subject to a shitty education.

Carnist arguments are awful. My hope is that when you string them all together, a few people who might present them as rebuttals individually pause and notice the precarious structure they form.

Lol, lmao even. Well probably better people have a hair trigger vs being lax with such a destructive ideology. A quick glance at my posting history should make it rather clear what I believe.

I would hope that if someone says "the extremely simple idea that". Then follows with a run on sentence with 130 words and like a dozen hesitations it is obviously a satire.

I suppose carnists do write some dumb shit though when fencing with their own values.

Ok look, they say "Please stop, I want to see my children" but does that really mean what a naïve interpretation would have us think? I mean it's not like they didn't scream before, I don't think this should move the needle on the extremely simple idea that:

Humans are uniquely endowed with some property that makes suffering meaningful, human emotions and thought can be influenced by the state of the brain but there is no transformation or variation of the brain that can remove the special endowment of meaningful emotional states short of utter destruction, other animals which may share similar brain structures or behaviours cannot have this meaningful suffering unless they are charismatic, even then they will always be secondary to arbitrary humans in concern because they lack special endowment, evolution has converged on extremely complex organs and patterns many times and includes many arrangements or systems which seem implausibly likely evolving dozens of times but it is utterly inconceivable that consciousness could also evolve earlier than humans or multiple times. Also bacon lol get wrecked.

Weird that people would feel embarrassed scribbling something on a scrap of paper in Biro, snapping a blurry pic, and uploading that. Yet feel comfortable uploading this which is even lower quality and effort + ethical and resource concerns.

Prepping a flower bed. Needed compost so we had to evict the compost rats.

Was a bit stressful, wife cried a lot at the though of hurting them. We carefully disassembled the mound, two kids were too frightened to move so we had to carefully remove them to the rock pile mum booked it into. They were old enough to fend for themselves though, just obviously a stressful sitch for them.

Anyway they were so cute, and I wish we could have adopted them rather than risk them dying due to their home being deconstructed. Unfortunately wild rats don't do well in captivity, so I hope they manage to find a new shelter.

New compost pile is having its rat proofing upgraded, they're resourcesful critters though so we'll see if it's enough.

Yeah I spent 3 months in there. I literally keep a means of rapid and most likely unpleasant suicide on me because I am never going in anyone's cage again. That in itself sucks because while I'm quite sane, misdiagnosis is fun, I am occasionally severely depressed so it's not the safest thing to carry.

Anyway ableism sucks, humans don't deserve to be treated in ways we treat non humans who also don't deserve it because they're a bit, or a lot, different. I firmly believe that committing people to psych wards involuntarily should require higher levels of evidence of danger to others than putting them in prison would since they have less rights in one.

If people go voluntarily that's one thing, but given psych wards can force ingestion of psychoactive substances it's an extremely fucked up thing to do to someone who's just inconvenient.

I'm from Australia. Funding is so bad nurses have to supply their own pens.

When I was committed my options were watch day time TV in a room of unfamiliar people doing strange things or try to not watch daytime TV in a room full of unfamiliar people doing strange things.

Literally prisoners have more privacy and personal space, also more books and the option for classes etc. Also prisoners aren't forced to take sedatives that make you feel sick and make pissing difficult.

Honestly as someone who's been committed if I was going to be committed indefinitely I would prefer it if the person doing that out of "compassion" just slit my throat while laughing.

Many psych wards are just prisons without activities were expressing frustration gets you immediately sedated and you're forced to fuck with your mind.

Inpatient treatment acutely works for some people, but I have never known someone chronically committed who was having a good time. Schizophrenia is pretty treatable, and only a tiny minority of people with it are ever violent towards others.

Paternalistic insitutionalising against someone's consent is pretty disgusting. I don't really care what the label is, people who aren't hurting others have a right to be free and people have a right to choose what treatments they want or don't want. People also deserve to be treated as individuals and not have behaviours assumed because some old fart in a Tweed jacket slapped a label on them.

The primary defining characteristic of slop machine users is favouring convenience over accuracy. So slop machine users on twitter.

It's not like the variety of convincing lie machine really matters, if you're manipulating text you've input they all do about the same and outside of that they're unreliable and kinda stupid.
