all of those combined wouldn't be nearly enough to replace fossil fuels.

and even if they were, our simple process of raising meat is probably enough to doom us anyways. As is our practice of clearing land for agriculture. Or producing 8 billion humans worth of shit every day.

No longer true despite billions in annual subsidies to the fossil fuel industry.
> any substitutes are going to require huge amounts of oil to implement and maintain.
Require is a strong word, but all this means is that we need to make these changes as early as possible.
> I dunno, and I don't really care because we keep doing shit like wasting the last of our water and energy on AI for the purpose of entertainment and causing unemployment. Humans WANT to go extinct.
The AI data center thing is intensely annoying, but also mostly exists because of subsidies and business lending deregulation. They want you to feel helpless, however. They desire a social environment where people say “There’s no point in trying to make things better for future generations, I’m just going to make sure I’m comfortable until I die.”
>>5107492
> our simple process of raising meat is probably enough to doom us anyways
Once the HB industry is divorced from natural gas extraction and the tractors that plant and harvest the row crops that are inputs for meat animal farming are no longer burning paleocarbon, meat won’t be an issue. The doomerism is designed to make you choose to oppose environmental advocacy and campaigns to make consumer practices, folkways, and food a source of shame are opposition planted to distract from industrial issues.

ai slop didn't start until 2022 or so, it basically timed perfectly with ethereum switching to proof of stake.

Well it’s not a python and there are only like 5 colubrids in Australia vs 100 species of elapid. So it’s probably less a question of if it has venom or not and more a question of whether or not it’s nauseating venomous or shit blood and die venomous

Cats are significantly less intelligent than dogs. They are slightly less domesticated and have the tendencies that come with that (more persistent independent action and innate skills that help them in the wild, reminiscent of the ways chimpanzees and orangutans outperform humans on select tasks), but overall, have inferior cognition and a less rich inner world, while dogs are complex social animals with more going on inside their head.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/dogs-when-you-count-neurons-have-a-lot-more-than-cats/
Some dog breeds, such as german shepherds, can have over 800 million cortical neurons, twice as much as the average mid sized mutt.

Therefore, since dogs psychological needs are greater than their suffering is deeper, public policy should prioritize canine well being, while making concessions to a clean society and the natural order and regulating cats as if they are simply less aware of their situation anyways, because they are.

Proposed changes:
Dogs must have at least 1/4 acre to roam around in at any given time
It is illegal to crate a dog except under less than ordinary circumstances
Dogs must be allowed to roam in a fenced in park at least once a week, for at least an hour, if their behavioral tendencies allow it
Spay and neuter must be delayed until sexual maturity for dogs to ensure proper cognitive development
Dogs must be taken to the vet for a physical and psychological wellness check at least one every three months
Cats must be kept indoors
Cats must be spayed and neutered as soon as possible to prevent overpopulation
When roaming cats are third class citizens akin to escaped rabbits

>>
>>5107349
>they're dirty as fuck
Dogs are owned by actual people who admit that they need to be washed while cats are owned by "people" infected with brain parasites that make them sexually aroused by the smell of cat urine. As a result most dogs are washed weekly-monthly while cats maybe 3 times ever. These "people" also see their cats licking themselves and assume this means they're clean when in reality it just spreads the dirt everywhere.
All this results in people thinking cats are clean and dogs dirty.
Dogs also stay on the floor where being a little unclean doesn't really matter while cats regularly jump on tables and counters where food is made and eaten.

Toxoplasmosis. Not a lot of studies on humans specifically (likely because toxobrains would freak our), but that's what it does between cats and rats/mice, as well as leopards and chimps. Not a huge stretch to assume it works the same between cats and humans. Especially since it's consistent with how catfags act.
>>
>>5107375
Yeah, this. Some retards think that if you have land you can just let your dog fuck around and that's enough mental stimulation. It might be for some pariah breeds who don't give a fuck about you, but for most breeds that were bred to have a job, land isn't enough. If I were a breeder, I would choose an apartment-dweller who goes hiking or does dog sports and has a comprehensive plan for how, when and for how long they're going to excersize and stimulate their dog over some chud who has a bit of land and no plan.
If rescues did this there would be far less dogs in rescues.

The Maori were armed and prompted to do so.
>>5082413
The moriori were on an Island near nz, they weren't the 'previous inhabitants'. It's akin to English invading the Isle of Man for example.
>>5084029
The Brits almost lost the island, hence why a treaty was drawn up where they weren't treated as badly as other natives. White people today are crying about being mass immigrated, why can't they accept their time is over?
>t.maori
The Maori are also what keeps NZ together and opposes mass migration to protect their way of life. Support them or be turned into indo-china.
