This comment is cursed

You probably didn't expect that comment to make me feel so old.

There are some places where they are not ethical.

There are some places where they are.

They're both actually saying the same thing. I don't understand how two people saying the same thing could possibly be invalidating each other.

I thought it required energy to process wood into charcoal?

Carbon neutral?

Two local people shared different local experiences and I'm not sure why you think either is more valid than the other.

I had a hernia at risk of strangulation. I was in the ER and, basically, the plan was to chill it and have a doctor try and just jam it back in.

Buddy was like "I'm going to wail on you pretty hard, you want fentanyl?". I was like "You're the doctor".

Anyhow, when that shit hit my veins I very loudly blurted "AAHHH, NNOOWW I GET IT".

The staff was like "what?" And I kinda fumbled out a "Never understood why people fuck with something so deadly, until now"

Anyhow, totally opened my eyes to why street drugs are such a problem for the homeless. They have tons of problems... but you get those drugs and within moments... all your problems just evaporate. Completely understand how wildly alluring that proposition would be.

Your right to privacy ends where your actions that impact the public begins.

Allowing elected officials (allowing, not even MAKING) to sign NDAs with private companies provides cover to do shitty things and get influenced by lobbiests.

I think we agree in principle.

I think if one conceptualize "deliciousness" as a "property that induces joy" and "not deliciousness" as a "property that induces suffering" as being distinct measures, then it makes sense to conceptualize puritan values as saying they don't value "deliciousness".

If you conceptualize "deliciousness" as having a negative axis, then Puritains DO value deliciousness, but along the negative axis, which is irregular and noteworthy, but still valuing deliciousness.

Same goes for suffering vs enjoyment. If you consider them independent vs as it being one measure with negative values.

I'm considering them as the same but with a negative axis. I feel like that's where the gap is. I think ultimately we're in agreement.

I'm not sure if agree with your conclusion. You might conclude that they put great value on the deliciousness of thier food, but the relationship is inverse: less delicious = greater value.

People of of two cultures might both place high value on decorations, but one culture might view another's style as tacky.
