I’ll give it a shot anyways, to play devil’s advocate.

I only buy a vanishingly small percentage of the amount of meat produced by factory farms every year. So I feel the same percentage responsible for perpetuating that system, which isn’t nearly enough to keep me up at night.

🙋 I’ve hunted deer, gutted and skinned them myself too. The tenderloins are great sauteed, and the rest of the meat is good ground (just don’t cook it as long as hamburger, it’s more lean).

Having been to Paris myself not too long ago, their rudeness is far overhyped. They were actually quite pleasant to us for the most part, only a handful of interactions that I would consider rude, mostly from street scammers. Maybe I just got lucky or missed some social cues, but I’m not sure where this idea of the openly contemptuous average Parisian comes from.

132.8° and 109.4° in Fahrenheit for anyone wondering.

I am cursed with this relevant and more accurate image, so now you are as well 😔

Not an artist, but this paper goes over the differences between the average male and female face. https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/full/10.1089/fpsam.2021.0301

For now. If the AI distributes itself into a botnet or something (or construction robots advance enough to where it could build its own secret data center) it could be a lot trickier to shut it down.

Boost, since I used it for Reddit before the incident. Very faithful to the original, with a decent amount of customization and features.

Consent certainly can be a factor in utilitarian analyses, but it depends on the philosopher how strongly it is weighted. I’m not a strict utilitarian myself; my original point was to show that the premise of the meme (and in general, public understanding of utilitarianism) focuses too much on an extreme, comically oversimplified view of utility analysis.

The violation of consent itself is another form of harm, as we see in cases of r***. The scenario you proposed would still be causing more harm than the voluntary method.

In most cases, the suffering caused by the harvesting can balance out or outweigh the good done to the transplantee because the unsanitary conditions can cause horrific infections in the victim, not to mention the potential loss of function due to lacking the organ. Also, that stolen organ will likely go on the black market and be sold to a rich person, increasing overall suffering by extending their life and thus their exploitation of the working class. Even from a utilitarian standpoint, voluntary organ donation is clearly preferable, and organ harvesting is just as bad as it is in other philosophical frameworks. Absurdly simplistic analyses like this are nothing but a strawman.

Yes, it’s still fun

Taiwan, Serbia, Singapore, Iceland, Barbados, Ethiopia, Georgia, Moldova, Slovakia, Denmark, Greece, Togo, Lithuania, Estonia, Tanzania, Kosovo, Samoa, Honduras, Hungary, France, India, Italy, Peru, Slovenia, Bosnia, Trinidad and Tobago, Sudan, Switzerland, and San Marino. And that’s just current heads of state. Also they “rule” (in terms of being cool) everywhere. Hope that helps :)

Infinite energy generation via the candle or cup aside, I would probably go with the blanket. Passive temperature immunity would be OP, and also useful in daily life as well. Also, the “perfect size” stat means it can always be carried around in a pocket or something. The candle is a close second, but it lacks the blanket’s portability. I wouldn’t want to carry around a lit candle all the time, so it would only be useful at home.
