  • they get even more revenue from other peoples contributions.

    thats the whole point not more, not less.

    so there is no point for “you” to pay them anything.

    did you as a “premium customer” thought to be “the customer”? really? remember how little you personally pay for the service. it is mainly the ad companies who are youtubes “customers”. when you pay them for something, you only increase yt’s revenue, not more, not less, but you are not “the customer”, you are the product ;-)




  • Your experiences are anecdotal.

    by pulishing them they become measurable, which also removes the “anecdotal” flag with numbers, also maybe ask archaeologists how much of an evidence a complain written in papyrus actually is a “while” after it was written.

    also the studies that found out “why” public services don’t serve in the first place have become quite old* meanwhile, which is the very opposite of anecdotal, but nothing was done so far to change the known state of not serving services for decades, so why should they have changed without changing actions affecting them?

    *) i read parts of them >20 years ago and the studies observations and conclusions i read fitted 100% of what i personally experienced/witnessed from within a family “working” in such services.


  • i meant improving society and strengthen its immune system against threats that would otherwise cause collapses. imperiums cause and collapse/vanish all the time, just try to count the already vanished ones in “known” history, i guess while you are still busy counting the known ones there will be even more “newly found” by archaelogists. while lots of them just vanished without trace, some vanished but just weren’t found yet.



  • Which Western country has send troops to the Ukrainian front?

    so just choosing how to exactly limit the question changes if “help in war” was provided? what if western countries just helped with some nukes instead of only some normal rockets or whatever was sent there to help? what if western countries troops quick-changed their passports to be ukrainians instead?(guess that secret agencies already have enough passport printing capabilities,or just get them printed on demand), would that be sufficient to say no “western” troops were sent even if it were millions of soldiers “from” the west?

    but living in a propagandainfested country i’ld already expect such bad manipulations to happen instantaneous.

    what if western countries didn’t send “troops to the front” but to the rest of the country so that invading military would have to fight western troops while ukrainian troops could concentrate on the front. would that also not be help in war by your (seemingly) position?

    or the other way around: what if one would only call the directly by russian soldiers occupied area (like 1m² where they each actually stand) would that still be an invasion or just a US-style visit with US style damaging of democracy and economics? manipulating questions is a bad propaganda habit and does not prevent wars, it creates them.








  • well for e2ee you obviously have to let one e encrypt the data for the other e. (good luck with newsletters then) for usual services kindly asking them to support either s/mime or gpg for outgoing emails, that would at least make them know the wish, but good luck there too.

    i think the already mentioned solution with encrypting incoming messages on your side just before mda to your inbox should be the closest possible to what op wants. one would need to check if the message is already encrypted and skip encryption for those.

    if you only want the admin of that email (imap) server to not be able to read all emails, maybe placing a separate encrypting server (smtp+encrypt+forward) inbetween outside world and your email imap server could be a solution.

    one should have a look into the logfiles too as some mailers might log message subjects and of course sender/recipients along with ip adresses of incoming/outgoing servers which the op might not want to be readable as well (i dont know protonmail that much)

    also gpg IMHO allows for sign-then-encrypt hiding the signature within the encrypted data which could be wanted. also one might want to look exactly what parts of the messages contents and its headers are encrypted or plaintext on the server before feeling safe from the threat one wants to be protected from.

    sort of missing in the list:

    • fruitarianism
    • raw food eaters
    • instinct diet

    questions: why are reasons in the list only for 12. and 13. ? why is ethical reasons only for 13. but not for 12.? why is health or environmental reasons only for 12. but not for 13.?

    i have met at least five peoples who’s reasons did not match those named in 12 and 13, why so sure to know the reasons in the first place? at the very least someone could just ‘try’ veganism for “trying” but “trying” is not named as a reason in the list while its a very valid reason and could come alone without any other reason needed.

    other reasons might be possible for 12 and 13:

    • religion
    • spirituality
    • taste
    • bad taste
    • price
    • dislike of industry production of all dead animal products
    • dislike industry production in general
    • dislike of food that tends to decay quicker and then beeing way worse than plants
    • dislike of food that quickly attract flies
    • dislike of meat eaters maybe for their stupid and wrong argumentation bases
    • eating only what parents put on the table / say is good
    • eating something to show kids what is (assumed to be) good for health
    • eating the opposite of what parents say is good.

    conclusion: debunking of this specific vegantheory seemed way too easy.
