Something made to be read isn't going to be as good listened too, especially by something automated. Anyway, there are billions of us and I'm sure there are enough creators to make articles for you to read and videos for OP to listen to while doing whatever. It's not a zero sum game.

Checks on power work only work by the coercion of other power. Given that power and coercion are thus unavoidable threats it's reasonable to diffuse power as widely as possible so that no one person or organization gains a monopoly on it. The threat of abuse of power remains but the threat of overwhelming power and overwhelming abuse are substantially lessened when all work collectively to ensure than none can gain it.

Any system that depends on one person or organization wielding a large amount of power to do good is immediately subverted as soon as they choose evil, and given all that power the benefits they stand to gain from being evil are very tempting.

Yes, I will personally try to make all abuse illegal. Are you insinuating that some abuse should be legal so long as the victim is in a certain class?

Factory farms produce the overwhelming majority of all animal products because the only way to deliver those to a substantial amount of people is to industrialize the process. It is incredibly difficult to avoid supporting factory farms without being vegan. Even if it were possible, would it somehow suddenly be right to kill another sentient being solely for your own pleasure just because it happened outside of an industrial process?

Right? If it were a poor person they'd have zero qualms about putting them in jail while sorting it all out too. There is nothing that can disguise that our 'justice' system exists almost entirely to suppress the poor and enable the rich.

Let them be tired then.

Missing context: Humans have the best health outcomes on a plant based diet and it takes nearly 10 times more water to get an equivalent amount of calories out of animal sources compared to plants.

You should care about environmental costs in general, not just when it's a convenient data point for hating on AI. I mean, you should hate on generative AI, it's garbage, but don't stop there. Animal agriculture is an environmental disaster of outlandish proportions and it's easy (with a tiny bit of education) to eat plants instead of animals and stop being a part of the problem.

It would be hypocritical to advocate against AI but also give them your money 3 times a day, wouldn't it?

...a nursing home in a prison.

The pride bit isn't about being queer full stop, it's about having the courage to be openly queer in a society that might try to kill you for it. It's about reversing the shame they attempt to force on us.

Sure, those who can afford to pay for games should support the artists that made them. Those who can't afford games should pirate them. We should all pirate in instances when paying would give our money to evil people, and we should all work towards a society where people can afford to make good art whether or not there's profit to be had from it.

Mom is beginning to see through her cultural conditioning to things that the owner class meant to be invisible. Mom is made of meat and the flesh on her table was once an individual like her, maybe even a mom like her, and Mom let herself become complicit in a system that makes one victim the victim of another victim all for the enrichment of the cruel and hateful creatures with economic power.
