Fair point, in my case, months-ish? I’ve had many go to 10+, probably with smaller files I’m guessing. Depends how much i need the hard drive space, I’m a humble setup.

Yes what everyone else said, ratio is the only one that really matters.

I seed to 10.0 on pretty much everything unless it takes forever and takes up a lot of space.

Certain things, mostly things that are for the common good (books, practical software, documentaries) I seed forever.

As long as you’re giving more than you’re taking in the long run, you’re good. If you cannot for whatever reason, someone will have your back and don’t worry about it.

That’s fair I’ve seen a lot more non-US produce lately. But there is still a fuck-ton of it on the shelves. Apples and lettuce being two big offenders where I am. And…yams? Been dying for a goddamn yam for months but apparently only the US knows how to grow a damn yam.

There are great Canadian greenhouse lettuce growers putting out awesome product now. I hope we can see those guys selling out while the $4.99 head of lettuce from Ameristan turns brown waiting for a buyer that never comes.

Choices matter people. Every single one.

Thanks for the tip!

Canadians on the whole aren’t worried about this. But remember fellow Canadians, it can still hurt. We need to be prepared to make sacrifices individually.

Canadians can do a lot better.

Until I see bigger lineups at A&W (A&W Canada is actually 100% Canadian, no royalties or anything to the USA) than McDonalds, Burger King, etc, not even close to being a start on the way to good enough.

I can see lots of people checking labels, but we need to get back to “US apples rotting on Canadian shelves” levels of action again. I want to hear more about US businesses begging Canadians to come back. I want to hear Trump threatening Canada for being anti-America. I want it to be crystal clear where Canada stood.

You mean like Hitler and Germany?

We already have history textbooks about this… there’s even a pretty popular book that is a great allegory for what’s going on. Based sometime in the 1980s I believe.

Yesterday’s news, downvoting.

"Gee there sure is a lot of mental illness these days. "

Billionaires: “Hold my longevity slurry.”

These are the people that went crazy for Hawk Tuah girl so they can shutteth the fucketh up. They’re not on any high horse, they’re fisting the horse.

Gee. I wonder what’s happening. Wish someone told us sooner.

It’s a ring toss game!

Hey, you guy!!

Then it would be open war with NATO, instantly. Or whatever is left of NATO. Even if Trump is able to destroy it, an alliance would form immediately.

Hard red line.

I get it, I really do. I’ve read Peter Singer. I’ve gone through the arguments, the logic.

You’re not wrong…ish, in my opinion. The scope of harm is horrific. What is done to animals in industrial agriculure is indefensible.

That being said, I find a lot of things indefensible. It’s impossible to avoid being a hypocrite in any way at all times. So I’m a hypocrite. I eat meat, way way less than average but I do. I’m aware it makes me a hypocrite. But I’ll never buy that it makes me a monster.

And if it does make me a monster? Then Schindler was a monster for not saving every Jew? Or is a better way to look at it that he did the best he could and he saved a lot of lives, certainly more than the average person.

I appreciate that vegans feel extremely strongly about animal rights. That’s good, we need passionate people in lots of different areas, advocating for the right things. But you cannot expect everyone to apply the same weights to every part of the picture.

You, in your specific circumstances, your environment, your socioeconomic status, your childhood trauma or lack thereof…YOU have taken all of the information you’ve received in your life and run it through your circumstances and the result is a vegan.

Someone else gets more of certain types of information, less of others, different circumstances, and you get a Greenpeace activist. A black panther. A doctor without borders.

Throw all that away…at the end of the day, the cold hard logic your view relies on also makes something else clear: an individual aggressive/militant vegan likely causes more animal suffering than the average meat eater. By communicating in one dimensional extremes, you’re basically guaranteed to alienate more people than you successfully convert. How many more plant based meals might some people have eaten if the vegan stereotype wasn’t what it is?

Think it through.

Absolutely, and it’s about time.

Have you tried not doing exactly what you’re accusing them of doing?

Everybody needs to move away from the extremes, both sides, all of us.

Not all vegans are militant. Not all meat eaters are blood lusting demons.

I think you mean coincidences not assumptions
