    some would argue that eating honey is not immoral

    Sure.

    The point of going vegetarian or vegan is to aim at a reduction of animal suffering and environmental footprint. Not to starve by choice. Agriculture is still better than more agriculture needed to consume meat.
    What’s the problem exactly?

    And we have to respect the peanuts’ right to be everywhere, right?

    Peanuts and bees usually don’t invade your home. And if they did, some would argue it’s acceptable to get rid of them. I’m pretty sure you can figure this out.






  • I certainly hope so. I stopped caring about them years ago for other reasons. I simply saw that story over the news when it happened. But I could argue that it still took them the departure of their social media manager to realize what they were doing. If she just left without talking about her experience, who knows how they would be today.




  • Intrusive thoughts are thoughts coming by themselves about bad things when you are somewhat close to a violent or dangerous situation.
    For instance, if you give a baby to someone with intrusive thoughts, they could momentarily have the idea of hurting the baby, even if they don’t intent to. Or such person standing near a cliff or up a bridge could have the sudden urge to jump (often called “call of the void”). Or, someone with intrusive thoughts seeing a train coming at full speed in front of them could have sudden thoughts about jumping over the rails.
    But who knows. Maybe it’s just me.

    Besides what Civ says, a lot of stadiums are built for a one time special event, like the olympics or some world cup.
    I’m thinking about the olympic stadium of Montreal (which I think the post was about). It was built for the olympics of 76 and cost around a billion dollars at the time.
    Since we don’t have a baseball team anymore, it is used only once in a while for music shows, but the acoustic is horrible because it wasn’t built for it. In my lifetime, I honestly never went inside for an event.
    And now, the government is talking about a plan to repair it for an other billion. At this point, the only reason to keep it is because it’s so old and unique. Plus, it would just costs too much to demolish it.
    It does bring a bunch of tourists annually, but for local people, it’s either seen as a weird relic of the past or a big scam.
    Also, why can’t I just be a peaceful barbarian? Why would my population need amenities anyway? And who told them what is a stadium?

    Not only they aren’t cheap, but they are pretty much never profitable. If we are to build things that are not profitable, we could as well build something that will offer a service to the population, like public transportation.

    What would be the alternative? (assuming that you want to do the loop yourself)

    new_results = []
    for result in results:
        if result:
            new_results.append(result)
    results = new_results
    

    or else

    for result in results:
        if not result:
            results.remove(result)
    

    which doesn’t do the exact same thing.
    Honestly, this list comprehension is much faster to read and quite easy to understand.
    I think we could rename the “result” variable “x” or “res” and it would be less confusing though.
