veloxization

NewPipe app is a good one, or Tubular if you want sponsor block too (though you can't comment or like videos etc. on either). But if you want to use the actual YT app, the solutions in the other comments are good. ~~I assume that setting up a Pihole or some other ad-blocking DNS could also work.~~ I assumed wrong. See reply.

I'm setting up some things for myself before I start proper streaming but little test streams I've done have been very successful!

And I've subbed to the community, so really appreciating the advertising. Cx

Owncast is rather interesting to me. Self-hosted streaming platform that can use the ActivityPub to publish streaming notifications, if desired.

The puppy was being trained for hunting. Meaning she killed her for doing exactly what she was being trained to do. Of course she wouldn't know there are some animals she shouldn't chase.

Oh, and this is not a one-off thing from Noem either. She also mentions shooting and killing a male goat for "chasing her kids".

In any case, I worry when someone's solution to completely fixable issues with other living beings is to just kill them.

Carnivores have just as much right to live as their prey, as unfortunate as the cost of life is.

We, as humans, are in a rather unique position, being omnivores with many of us in the developed world having easy access to food. And those of us can make a choice to not cause the death of other sentient beings in order to have food.

You can show a lot of differences, but the end result is always the same: Sentient beings dead way before their natural expiration.

Do note that this whole thing is based on the hypothetical of plants being capable of experiencing pain. In reality, they do not possess a nervous system to enable that.

Of course I'd choose to kill an animal if the alternative was getting injured or killed (or starving in some extreme survival situation), but in day-to-day life, I do not see the need to do that.

We, as omnivores, have a choice. The carnivores do not. I'd rather not cause more suffering than I have to (since I have that choice) even if there was the potential that it could possibly decrease overall suffering.

I will not go into other problems with fish specifically since it's not on-topic.

I'd say eating plants would still be the lesser of two evils in that case. Animals we kill for food also eat plants, so from a pure quantity of suffering, it's better to not have the middleman there.

I was going to say this, too, but I was too lazy to fact check so I left it out. c: In other words, I've heard about this too.

How they are not completely mortified by that, I will never know.

I once heard a claim that they just can't smell it themselves. I can believe it, because our senses tend to filter out sensations that are continuous.

WHAT?
