  • While I agree with your sentiments, for a modern country I see it as a tool to be able to more easily handle international relationships with some countries who still see the importance (like an old handy swiss army knife you have laying around). As long as the monarchy is purely ceremonial and does not affect your own country’s politics.

    It should disappear sooner or later though. If it did not have that sneaky, seemingly effective benefit (as I’ve been dumbfounded by in the Netherlands) I’d be all for removing it right away.






  • No you’re not, but to dismiss that your actions still have influence on other people/systems is short-sighted.

    Once more, it’s fine if you eat meat. You don’t have to consciously manage other people’s expectations. But just know that you automatically do. Buying meat is supporting the future production of meat, that’s all.


  • They would stop doing it commercially. You are free to kill a pig and eat it, so are other people. Or trade it, but that’s again economics.

    Mass production of meat is a luxury that would never have this scale if people had to find, raise and slaughter pigs themselves.

    You supporting mass production of meat is paying to raise, kill and consume pigs. Which is still fine in our society, just see it as it is.

    Yes, but they only pay those people if they expect to make a profit by selling the end product to you. You are one of the people who make it worthwhile to set up a chain of payments like that.

    If they do not expect you (or other people) to buy the meat, they won’t pay those people to raise / kill the pigs.

    Whether it’s you this time or someone else doesn’t matter. As long as there is a demand by end consumers they will continue. If no-one buys it they stop, it’s that simple.

    You’re part of the group that enables this dynamic and your money goes to paying those people. It’s fine if you like meat, just don’t deny this basic logic.


  • They wouldn’t kill, or even raise the pig if they didn’t count on the money down the chain. We indirectly but surely pay for pigs to be created / killed, for our consumption.

    It’s fine if you don’t care about that or accept it as your standards, that’s your choice and fair in our current social context. Just realize the economics behind it.




  • I think it has something to do with needing more oxygen, just like doing push-ups will help and so will running around or even just stopping your breathing for ~30 seconds. Your body will eventually go into a higher alert state.

    It just helps for a short bit though, when you relax your nasal passage does too and blocks all again.

    Desktop runs great, but Firefox on Android seems to be noticeably buggy here and there sadly. I still use it, but I can imagine that might drive people out of the ecosystem.

    Many people get used to the synchronization of their passwords / bookmarks cross-channel. More advanced users have a separate password management for this I’d figure, but that’s not the default for 90% I’d guess.
