Second from the right isn't a kitchen knife but a short sword or maybe a scimitar. I prefer my chef's knives shorter than usual (16cm). I do wonder, what is the advantage when handling normal kitchen ingredients or actually anything that isn't a whole cow?

    I think there are species that are in the Animal Kingdom that the ethics of veganism don't apply to. Corals for example are - just as plants - better described as robots but as feeling animals.

    The discussion where this robot behaviour ends and emotional life begins is very hard (fish have feelings imo). I avoid this gray area by how unhealthy eating marine, filtering animals has become (for example due to mercury).

    Oh, and also the awful practices of maritime fishing that endanger the biggest and most robust ecosystem on earth.

    Bacteria hardly cause illness. Most of us will not have been sick by a bacterial infection since early childhood. People avoid them for being gross - not dangerous which is very fair. Most types of urine are perfectly safe healthwise but I don't want contact to that either.

    Viruses don't travel by air but by aerosol. If the air is heated, I can't see how people can become sick when using them even in public spaces.

    I recommend veganism to everyone - at least for a while- just because how different you can see farm animals. When I look inside the eyes of a pig I feel a connection. I know the kindness of this animal just by mutual respect. Try it, it feels great.

    In my understanding, the "cease and desist" letter from χwitter against XCancel and Nitter is a warning to stop copyright infringement based on US-Law. The US-Law has no effect on most parts of the world. Why cant we just ignore it altogether? I understand that it will be problematic for US- Citizen but everyone else just have to obey their own countries jurisdiction.

    Is there a point in the Internets infrastructure that the USA has enough leverage on to stop it anyway? Or am i downplaying the Influence of US Law on judicial decisions in other countries?
