    I recently started playing WoW again. This time on Turtle WoW and it's really impressive with how much care the dev expanded on vanilla. Love it, really.

    Also started playing OSRS again since I hate my job and will only do the absolute bare minimus going forth. In between it's time to grind lol

    Bei Finnholz sind die Tage von Montag bis Donnerstag ebenfalls anstrengender geworden, auch wenn hier die Freude über den freien Freitag überwiegt. Das Unternehmen hat die Arbeitszeit von 40 auf 36 Stunden gesenkt - bei vollem Lohnausgleich. Da nur an vier Tagen gearbeitet wird, verlängert sich die Arbeitszeit pro Tag dennoch.

    Also eher 4.5 Tage-Woche. Aber immerhin wird es diesmal wenigsgens im Artikel spezifiziert.

    Also, *penetrating* bolt guns are a thing and yes, they do kill.

    Nope, they stun as well.

    "The bolt penetrates the skull of the animal, enters the cranium, and catastrophically damages the cerebrum and part of the cerebellum. Concussion causes destruction of vital centers of the brain and an increase in intracranial pressure, causing the animal to lose consciousness. This method is currently the most effective type of stunning, since it physically destroys brain matter (increasing the probability of a successful stun), while also leaving the brain stem intact and thus ensuring the heart continues to pump during the exsanguination.[2] One disadvantage of this method is that brain matter is allowed to enter the blood stream, possibly contaminating other tissue with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, colloquially known as mad cow disease)."

    You didn't answer my question. The dog in the picture, if someone came over and instead of rescuing it would have instead stunned it and slit its throat. Again, not because of hunger, just because of taste preference, would you call that cruel?

    Oh btw. something being part of nature surely isn't justification for humans to do it. Animals mate without consent in nature and I hope you are not a proponent of that as well.

    And bolt guns specifically stun their victims, they don't kill. For the bleeding out to be quick and efficent, the heart of the animal has to be beating still. I've been to slaughterhouses and I've seen it.

    It doesn't have to, but in the case of eating animals it does equal cruelty. For what other pleasure than taste would there be this much bickering when the price is an animals life?

    Let's stay with the dog in the picture, would it be cruel to stun it with a bolt gun, hang it upside down and slit it's throat? Not out of neccesity but because you like the taste?

    Edit: Again, downvoting won't change this :)

    Das muss einfach mal raus.

    Scheiß drecks Arbeit und scheiß drecks Kapitalist:innen. Scheiß CEOs und scheiß System. Ich hab kein Bock in dieser beschissenen Bude zu bleiben aber ich habe auch keinen Bock mir was neues zu suchen und dann in sechs Monaten wieder am exakt gleichen Punkt zu stehen. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

    I wanted to try Bazzite but for some reason the download from bazzite.gg is very slow (around 1-2MB/sec) and also fails at some point, every time. Does anyone know this issue? Is there a torrent for Bazzite that I am not aware of?
