I mentioned specifically animals, and didn't feel the need to go into detail to why I feel that way. It doesn't feel like you're really commenting on good faith, so I'm not gonna respond any further than this.

Plants and minerals aren't conscious, don't have feelings and sense of self.

Animals don't exist for us to use. They aren't ours. Outside of survival scenarios, it's wrong to eat animals or take things like milk or eggs from animals. It's fucked up.

I'd like to know more specifics on those numbers. Because I Found that, for example, GTAV had a marketing budget of 70-110 million, so nowhere near the billion range even for large games. With a lot of popular games like BOTW selling over 35 million copies... I don't think the marketing cost is an issue.

Yes, but only accounting for inflation really doesn't tell the whole story compared to modern games. Games are primarily sold digitally now, meanwhile when OOT released all copies were physical cartridges - and that meant significantly higher cost of manufacturing and shipping. Also, games simply didn't sell nearly as many copies back then as they do now. Being totally real, games don't need to be more than $60 to turn a very very good profit.

YouTube doesn't care if you don't care. The more they show them to you the more likely they are to finally get you to watch them and they can make money off you. It's not like there's many alternatives to YouTube.

You might be surprised how many people do watch YouTube shorts. They force then on you because they make a lot of money off them.

Yeah, that's Debian for you. It can be really good depending on your use case - you're never going to have anything break up on an update since they don't update packages often. It can be an annoyance sometimes though.

Debian ships with older but stable packages. It won't provide you the latest version of your Nvidia drivers, you'd probably have to get them from Nvidias website yourself.

Political violence that will make change will be larger scale and organized, not individuals trying to kill a bad president, or two, or three.

It's not defeatism, at all, it's the recognition of an ineffective method of resolving things. Real life isn't a movie where things just work out when you do stupid shit.

For what? Another will take his place. There's no shortage of people pushing for project 2025 and supporting his political policies. It's not just trump.
