Assuming their story is true.

How would logging in and giving them your number potentially restore them if they’re stored locally and are just gone?

It’s not about having faith in the rule of law, it’s about minimizing risk. Obviously if they’re just gonna kill you or mail you to CECOT there’s nothing you can do anyway.

Well, travelling with a burner phone won’t stop a cop from just shooting you in the streets!

In America at least, “law enforcement” (Police, Ice, CBP) aren’t allowed to force you to enter your password, but they can just happen to hold your phone up to your finger/face to unlock it using biometrics.

They better watch out! They’re gonna have a problem with AOC!

Edit: Guess you all missed this from last week lol

Wait, I thought she was a radical antifa liberal who infiltrated a peaceful demonstration to try and cause chaos?

If nobody lessened their consumption habits and just switched to “vat grown meat”, that would not solve the core of the problem. While less resource intensive than farm grown meat, it’s still resource intensive.

As I said before, it can exist to fill the voids left by other solutions, but it is not a solution in and of itself. For this reason it should not be the priority as the priority should be on growing/promoting other less intensive alternatives and lessening consumption itself.

Within our current political-economic system? End subsidies for farmed meat, subsidize alternatives, and raise awareness on the issue as well as about health effects of excess meat consumption.

This will have the “push” effect of driving up farmed meat prices while having the “pull” effects of cheaper, healthier alternatives. There is nothing in particular to enforce.

Edit: and as the market on farmed meat becomes less profitable producers will leave the industry as well which leads to a sort of “spiral” as scarcity goes up, raising prices, pushing more away.

What did I say that isn’t true? I never said the energy cost of beef wasn’t huge. Quite the opposite in fact…

I think it’s far more unreasonable to go along with a genocidal regime in the name of “following laws/orders”. Where do you draw the line on that front? Is joining the IDF and activily participating in genocide fine because it’s required by law and you can’t expect others to sacrifice anything of themselves in the name of opposing genocide?

My country is literally arbitrarily detaining and deporting/imprisoning people for advocating for a free Palestine. I still go to protests.

Free Palestine, from the river to the sea!

They literally can’t comprehend radical action beyond genocide.

It is an environmental problem because the resources required to obtain the same caloric/nutritional content from meat is far higher than the alternatives. If the “better method” is better than our current method of meat production but still too intensive to maintain at scale then it doesn’t solve the problem without reducing the scale of meat consumption.

That doesn’t mean nobody can eat meat, it just means that on average people need to eat LESS meat.

Why are you so against people eating less meat? Your arguments here are akin to the “nuclear energy” bros who rag on renewables all day. Just like we can use renewables and rely on nuclear to fill any gaps, we can lessen meat consumption and rely on less intensive forms of meat production to fill the gaps.

Germans and being complicit because they are “just following laws/orders”. Name a better duo.

~ Average german defense for their complicity in the 1940s.

They said nothing about everyone giving up on meat.

We don’t have infinite resources on our finite planet. People need to eat less meat. They stated some ways to encourage that transition.

They need to verify using a phone number because otherwise other people could sign up using your phone number and pretend to be you? What?

They can only sign up using your phone number if they do require a phone number. If they didn’t ask for a phone number then how would people sign up using your phone number?

~ how is that different than having 50 different accounts all using the same password?

Because the password manager would have to be hacked itself.

If you just use the same password for everything, any of those 50 sites could be hacked.

Took em long enough
