The mother of the last pig you ate was perfectly capable of raising her own young. But a farmer took that ability from her by locking her in a cage that was so fucking small, she could not even turn around or roll over. That's how a fucking farmer "raises" a fucking piglet. Enrichment? Meeting emotional needs? Basic medical attention for injuries? No. You are put in a cage so small you cannot move, until you die.

The lies you tell yourself are disgusting. Keep them to yourself.

It's honestly not that hard, but you still managed to get it exactly backwards. Maybe with that hint you'll finally figure it out.

Humans are part of nature too

Meaningless appeal to nature. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_nature

No one who breeds, murders, and butchers animals (or who pays to have those things done) has respect for life. You are lying to yourself so that you don't have to see yourself as a bad person. There is a better way not to see yourself as a bad person.

Farms do not "raise" animals. When you raise a child, you prepare it for life. A farm animal does not go on to enjoy life, they are killed in their absolute prime, because that is when the product is at its best. It's absurd that these lies are convincing to you, but we are eager to believe certain lies, aren't we?

That's absurd. Produce is a fraction of the price at the market, and it's still better quality after sitting in your fridge for a week. Raise some hell

All public salaries should be public. I disagree that fixing the cutoff causes it to diverge from it's "true purpose". IMO it actually gets closer to that purpose every year.

I mean you grew up believing that it's healthier to eat meat rather than just more profitable to sell it, or that it is morally defensible in any way to create an intelligent creature and then force it into a state of utter lifelong dependency just so that you can exploit its biological processes, so I wouldn't be so sure about that "no delusions" thing. You're on your own supply.

You can't "can confirm" yourself! What is this lawlessness??

You clearly have done zero research on the topic and are simply telling us what you would like to be true. "Common sense" is what you use when you don't know better. But in this case, data exists, and you don't need to be speculating about things you don't know about.

It's definitely been seen in many many games, but I would call it an established design element rather than a gimmick, as it has often been used to very good effect.

Not a comment on PZ but often "intuitiveness" and expressiveness must trade off against each other. I prefer expression.

Q - apply heals

Better question would be, what do they even have in common?
