In the anarchist brigades in the Spanish Civil War soldiers elected their officers democratically. In combat they still had ultimate command authority but afterwards soldiers could replace then if they where disappointed in their decisions.

Disclaimer: I'm not a vegan.

they gladly eat food grown by slaves

They don't. Certainly not more then carnivores. In fact much more vegans buy local, organic and/or fairtrade food then carnivores.

But even if: buying slave products is not what veganism is about. Its completely useless to judge the specific decision to be a vegan by any other lifestyle aspects the particular individuals have, as long as its not tied to this very decision. If Hitler was the only vegan on earth, that wouldn't mean veganism is a bad thing.

If you actually wanna guilt this

Being a moralizing prick

All OP did was stating a simple fact. If you feel the need to outrage over science, then the problem is certainly not OP.

The bitter thing is: we could just implement the "Everyone does X" button. By creating according laws. But that doesn't happen either. Because suddenly "I would do it, if everyone else did it too" turns out to be just an excuse.

Thanks, that was a very valuable warning.

Es ist an Dreistigkeit echt nicht zu überbieten. Ein verurteilter Umweltverpester als Landwirtschaftsminister.

Makes sense. But wouldn't that make users extremely picky on the other hand. Like, "I like her, but better spare my Like for someone else that might come along"? Or is the idea that people just toss in money for everyone they like? That seems rather expensive to me.

Do I understand you correct, that I cannot like more profiles then I bought pledges? And then have to wait to get turned down by these profiles to get the chance to like again?

It's a good question. One of the major examples are wheelchairs. They could be much faster then they are but they are deliberately restricted to leg speed. Of course for safety reasons and so on but its kinda obvious that we don't trust anyone disabled to excel non-disabled people.

Tbf, that's the upside of a major corporation like Coca Cola. They only transport the syrup and fill the bottles at local factories.

The stuff that already exists is good enough at what it does that it isn’t worth the investment to make something new. That means fewer devs are needed for writing that software.

Where I work, software gets replaced basially every 7 years. It's almost infuriating. But it pays well.

Thank you. I was wondering just that.
