This is gonna be a long message welp (Finepoint do make sure to read all of it this time and thank Ebihara for this lel
)
I'm not reading all that.
So about the warning tracker and other related stuff:
Where do I find the warning tracker though? (Also, do they expire after a set period of time? I've seen peeps get warned and seen the tracker being mentioned in RVR but not sure how it works compared to bans and mutes of set lengths)
The warning tracker is
here.
It doesn't look like
@Crabwhale actually added you to it. I'm unsure if that was intentional or an oversight.
Better to add me there since they said it was official (also so that way I don't in any way take advantage of any potentially undesired oversight cause we all know honesty/sincerity and transparency is necessary regarding these matters and considering past events I'm definitely not willing to follow in the path of recently banned members):
I second this, but would add an additional point.
I'm extending an official warning to
@Mahek_The_Assassin_Silent_Killer. Discussing cruel, unusual and graphic punishments with absolutely no humor of any kind and for extended periods of time ain't something we need on here. So, cease with that, and don't go doing it again any time soon.
Also still need clarifications on if warnings expire:

Now back to what's been sent since then:
I mean, I sort of agree, but it's not so much about the animals eventually dying, for me. It's before that, the unethical way we force them to live before they go to slaughter, often in filth that forces them to consume antibiotics, feeding into the issue of humans becoming more and more antibiotic resistant.
I can tell you from being in the field, we're aware. And it's one of our primary challenges to minimize those aspects.
I mentioned I was interested in ecology and environmentalism as a job sector (and cosmology and utopian studies and whatnot as a leisurely hobby to read on) in the deleted message, might as well resend the links about altruism and positive symbiosis in life:

Evolutionary biologists determined that an animal’s behaviors are altruistic when they benefit other individuals, even to the potential detriment of themselves.

Also there's this more technically relevant/modern version of the Golden Rule (which itself is present in practically all belief systems as an example of reciprocal ethics which proves that despite our differences we are still fundamentally similar) called the Platinum Rule:

Further proof on the fundamental similarities of various belief systems would be the common virtues and vices they commend and condemn:

But I digress.
NO THANKS I DON'T WANNA RISK 100% CERTAIN DEATH FROM PRIONS
Fun fact: Not a 100% risk!
I have many morbid fascinations, especially in the world of true crime, natural disasters, historical torture methods... And that happens to include many tales of cannibalism. Especially in times of widespread famine, throughout history we have consumed our fellows. There is a story I remember highly of the Fore people, a tribe from the eastern highlands of Papua New Guinea.
I've read about the Fore tribe too, and I know they have adapted to be slightly resistant to the endemic kuru, but I should have specified:
Once infected there is no cure and no treatment, and it's practically 100% fatal, and then there's other diseases like rabies and trypanosomiasis which are 90+% fatal as well but DO have some forms of treatment... and then there's radiation sickness which depends on the Gray whole body absorbed dosage (but if you know Hisashi Ouchi you know how horrible it can be)

And then there's these for more morbid info:

(Do note how, other than the total cumulative death toll of all ongoing armed conflicts being 1/8 to 1/4 of WW2's total geometric mean death toll, disease outbreaks (endemics, epidemics and pandemics) and famines are highest in both natural and anthropogenic disasters)
no I'm eating the brain too
Please deliver your eulogies and desired epitaphs on your tombs/graves and or ash urns, I wish you a good trip wherever one goes beyond death. /jk
There will always be someone doing things better than you, in any field no matter what. But that doesn't mean that the things you make and your progress aren't valuable
THIS. RIGHT HERE. YOU. ALL. MATTER. BE THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELVES.
(Except atrocity criminals, but we ain't going back down that conversation again.)

Maybe one day we can have nice things, haha.
