I can only think of one that does: utilitarianism. it’s frought with epistemic problems not to mention it can be summed up “the ends justify the means” which most people think is itself unethical.

what do you mean by “alive”, and why should that matter?
you should still act to minimize suffering as much as possible.
under what ethical system?
if you grant plants sentience, veganism is still the more ethical option.
… for ethical systems in which sentience is a consideration.
and to what end? what is the purpose here? spreading spurious and undisprovable accusations is pointless when people can undermine them just by pointing out the nature of the accusation.
the evidence suggests otherwise
you must support your own position.
thank you
good tip
i mean… i see how the us treats julian assange and kimdotcom… i’d hate to get caught infiltrating the australian government’s computer systems under false pretenses. if i ever get over the equator tho, i’ll be sure to check it out in person.

you’re not wrong
yo! great find! while the only one on the list that will issue a free card to non residents is in wisconsin, someone in the comments pointed us to sunnyvale california! woot. add another card to my libby stack.
i have to say, as i look around for libraries/library systems that offer what i want and i think about, for instance, the netflix or disney+ or whatever fees… libraries are dirt cheap even if i end up shelling out a couple bucks. netflix is what, 25 bucks a month now? that’s $300/year. i could get access to some pretty awesome libraries for that.
thanks! looks like they charge $40/y for nonresidents now
cursorily
they are all in my state. I’d rather not say
You might have trouble getting free unrestricted library cards if you don’t live in the area that the library serves. They are usually paid for with taxes and aren’t there to serve people outside their community.
yea. i realize this. but as i said, my inclination is that there is some philanthropic and national libraries that i just don’t know about that fit the bill.
edit:
i also got cards from my local library system, and the two major cities in my state. there’s a minor city, too that gave me one. so i have a pretty good stack, but they are all from my state.
impossible. an event in the future cannot cause an event in the past.
