No, you can’t prove that something never happens or that something doesn’t exist. You can sometimes prove something that contradicts the existence of something, but that’s not proving that the thing itself doesn’t exist, because it’s epistemologically not possible
Steam and arrowhead both allowed the sale of the game in non-compatible markets.
No. Sony handles the publishing on Steam. Sony set the countries allowed for sale – neither Steam, which is only the platform, nor arrowhead, who did not publish the game, have any responsibility in the matter. You’re taking away blame from Sony which is the single culprit for that mistake
The game was allowed for sale worldwide, Sony changed the restrictions today on the steam store, delisting the game in 177 countries where it was previously available
Fallow land is used land. It’s land that’s not currently used but its non-usage only happens its efficiency when actually used. It’s like sleeping, but for land, so it’s not free to use
The thing is, new chemical compounds are being developed all the time for all kinds of applications. What you’re saying is not really “we should let sick people die rather that try to get a cure”, horrible enough as it is, but rather “let’s dump whatever shit we come up in the environment without testing its effect first”, and while things are bad currently, there is no depth to how worse things could get if we didn’t even bother trying to prevent the worst from happening
This being your only option would be poverty, not an alternative to it. And highly dangerous jobs aren’t comparison here, testing drugs before animal testing is is no way a level of danger comparable to being a woodcutter
Human testing is necessary, and while the disenfranchised are already subject to it, skipping animal testing and directly proceeding on the most vulnerable would be truly despicable.
Furthermore, if the issue is consent, then this “solution” does not resolve it at all. What you get from subjecting poor people to the choice of cold & hunger or being a test subject is not consent, and once again minorities, disabled people, LGBT and women would be the primary victims
Ah, yes, testing drugs pre-animal trial on the poor and disenfranchised sound so much better, truly the end of a dystopia
Edit: Not to mention, the meat industry produces despair of the same level while being entirely superfluous (something animal testing, unfortunately, is not) and on a scale which would be an ocean compared to the drop that is animal testing
What you are proposing may seem nice, but any ethics committee would shut this down instantly, anywhere in the world.
But let’s imagine we can do this, somehow, and that all the ethical issues are resolved. Harvard might be able to grow their “thing”, or order it from some specialized company; how do you not condemn all research in developing countries?
Still not capitalism. Capitalism would be one Orang owning the bed factory (capital) and allowing other Orang to get some fruit for making beds while the capitalist Orang would get fruit by virtue of letting other Orangs work in his bed factory.
I was held for two hours. The first round of questions was about my views on Hamas.

I said yes, I do think Israel is committing...
Damn it’s so sad no democrat president was elected before yesterday, but now that a non fascist is in power I’m sure those unjust laws will be repealed any second
No, that’s not my point. You’re saying “The abused have become abusers”, and while yes, israelis are Jews, abused who became abusers, Jews as a whole aren’t represented by israel, so not all the abused became the abusers.
So my point is that you can’s say “the abused became the abusers”, only some of the abused became so, who are people with a common identity which is distinct to being Jew, and that identity is zionists.
Zionists are abused who have become abusers, Jews as a whole have not.
We need hydro power with renewables, even more than we need it with fossil fuels. Hydro allows us to store eenrgy (through pumping water back into the lake as potential energy), which is required when peak usage hours don’t match peak production hours. Since we can’t control when solar or wind will produce power, energy storage is even more of a necessity for those sources than it is for fossil sources.
Hydro isn’t only a source of energy, it’s also the most efficient way to store energy. With solar and wind, peak usage hours don’t match peak production hours, so we need storage capacity to be even able to use solar & wind. And dams are the absolute best we have for that storage purpose, in terms of cost, efficiency, and environmental impact
